...finally found an article imploring me to work high...i feel vindicated and seen (and ready to get low low low)...great compendium as always Jaryd...i worked at a tech company with an open culture that laid off a team of local engineers and then immediately went closed...culture was trashed and the company was never the same but it did succeed many folds in spite of itself (never to the scale of a google)...it takes leadership bravery to be open to a company of people and sadly I feel most who lead in tech/ai.i spaces are incapable of being open...one can dream though...
Love the section on Timeboxing your startup. We all love to start things. Beginnings are fun and exciting and full of promise. But we kinda suck at ending things. We don’t (and kinda can’t) apply the same energy to endings.
That’s why I love deadlines. It gives us a mechanism for action. We can all appreciate when the clock runs out or the final whistle blows. Setting a deadline for a project mirrors that.

My #1 founder skillset- Intellectual curiosity. Why? leads to discovery which leads to identifying a problem which leads to a solution.
On simplicity- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" da Vinci. Simplicity empowers thinking and seeing the elegance in beauty.
Great one again. I especially agree on the Open Culture and why it's so important to pay attention to that as a founder, CEO, manager, ...
Have a nice weekend!
