You will only achieve true viral growth when the user is sharing your app’s content at a high frequency to other networks. Too many founders will look to add a temporary boost because that’s what they see other apps do. I call it Spotify Wrapped syndrome. You might top the charts for a day but that is only going to create phantom validation that something is working. What you really need is the main content in your app’s feed to be shareable. TikTok and Instagram didn’t grow by adding a growth hack after the fact.

Whenever I meet legends who did something huge a decade ago, I'm always shocked with how smooth their brain is after being out of the game. It's hard to internalize how fast your skills, thinking & tactics atrophy—but you're basically starting from zero if you check out for a few years.

As a Jew, this feels like the end of an era. I gotta hand it to us: we had a great run. For the last 70 years, we ran Hollywood and every mom in America wanted us to marry their daughters. It’s been a privilege and an honor. I’ll be converting to Islam this weekend. Inshallah.

I had a nightmare last night that I was a founder in Europe and an investor named Hans owned 80% of my company and he kept forcing me to clone Yahoo Finance.

The percent of people “in startups” who only do things adjacent to actual work (podcasts, newsletters, invest) feels like it’s growing exponentially. I always wonder if they feel like they’re missing out: the funnest part about all of this is making something that takes over the internet.

Last night I became the anointed leader of the crypto community. After getting 10,000 notifications from the most annoying people in the world, I hereby resign and pledge myself to the advancement of fiat.

Before everyone gets excited, let’s lay down some ground rules for this cycle: - no monkey jpegs - no superbowl ads - no “wagmi frens” speak - no dog money - no 90000% APY ponzis Are we in agreement?
