Growth is simple.

You surround yourself with people more talented than you.

You listen and learn from them.

You apply when applicable. That’s it.

Most average people won’t do it because of their above average ego.

Best leadership practices for remote collaboration:

Write up "how we work"
Honor the quiet
Match the message to the channel

As @DameStephanie_ said: "Remote work has less to do with the tools and more to do w/ effective management practice.”

Any decisions I recently made that were befuddling?
How can I improve the way I give feedback to you?
Is there a recent interaction b/w us that frustrated you?

Advice for folks who do too much math and too little physics:

Don’t try to be too clever.

Cleverness often comes with complexity and increased execution risk.

Oftentimes the less optimal yet simpler solutions are the best ones in a paradigm of finite time and resources.

I’m always shocked by smart, young, driven people who choose a company because of “mentorship”.

Yes, it is good to have some guidance, but most driven folks succeed through figuring sh*t out on their own.

Software engineers and researchers love algorithmic problems (e.g. deep learning libraries) because the problems are clean and pure — but real world data isn’t.

@jenheemstra Agree Jen. I have learned that failure is necessary for success. If you are not failing you are not trying hard enough. We increasingly live in a culture that does not tolerate failure. We need to “embrace failure” and see it as a stepping stone for success.

3 crucial questions to ask when considering a new opportunity:

(1) Power: How can I find an advantage relative to others?

(2) Probability: How likely am I to succeed?

(3) Payoff: How large is the payoff if I succeed?

Great opportunities are favorable on all 3 dimensions.

When people ask you what you want to do next in your career, it’s perfectly okay to say “I’m not sure.” Often, people who say they know what they want next don’t even realize that they don’t know what they want to do, so if you have hit that realization, you’re doing pretty well.

The comparison game can be intense in academia, but it is built on the lie that there can only be one winner at the end of the game. Define what winning means for you and recognize that someone else achieving their win likely does not prevent you from achieving yours.

That's why you end up doing what others around you are doing.

Do you want to live this life doing what YOU want to do or what society wants you to do?

Thoughts on building skills:

1) The ultimate goal is to be the only person who does what you do.

2) The most valuable skills don't have a name. They're based on your unique character traits, so they're one-of-a-kind.

3) The Internet makes differentiated skills more valuable.

When there’s a task you know you have to do but don’t want to, often the not doing causes more stress than the doing.

Find a way to tackle a small part, get going, and you may just find that the stress is replaced by a sense of satisfaction as you get it done.

It's called the internet

Whatever you want to learn, it's right there

YouTube, online courses, podcasts, you name it

The only barrier is discipline

You can always find someone to talk you out of your own best ideas.

Feedback has value, but don’t use it as an excuse for stasis.

Do what you know needs doing.

Make yourself oblivious to irrelevant opinions.

Bit of startup advice which I rarely hear:

Spend the money on a nice office.

Be frugal on just about everything else, but get a nice office.

It's hard to appreciate just how much your office becomes a representation of your company. Plus, you're going to spend 10k+ hrs in it.

Explore various fields, test the water, and analyze how you feel working in it.

Once you find your genuine interest, dive headfirst, and dig into the ultimate depths of that field.

Even if your advisor is providing mentorship to advance your education and career, one person can't do or be all things. Approach mentorship as something you can get from multiple people--this takes the pressure off one person and allows you to benefit from different perspectives

When you take a risk and find yourself met with failure or rejection, it can feel crushing. In these moments, remember there was another path you could have taken where you risk nothing, but that path goes nowhere. Even when you’re failing, you’re on the path to somewhere better.

Rule #1 leading a change: don't use a vanity metric to track the change. Identify and solve an actual problem.

Example: Cannot find the right candidate. Vanity metric: let's interview a bunch of people per week. Actual problem: didn't reach out to the right group of candidates.

Hope and opinions are dangerous things.

They distort your perspective and pollute your actions.

A much better tool is Cause and Effect.

Give your input and be open for any output.

Check directions.

Tweak your inputs until you get the desired output.

Consider instead asking: What am I doing right and what can I be doing better?

Both questions get at what you want to ask, but the second one will usually result in a more candid and helpful answer.

This is true. One step further: all progress derives from going back to the facts and upgrading your views accordingly. So the fastest way to make progress is to be constantly trying to prove yourself wrong, constantly be looking up facts that might invalidate your theories, etc. https://t.co/b33mntGQrH

Simple rule for founders: Only spend your time on things whose value compounds exponentially.

They don't need to scale, but they need to compound.

Examples: - Hiring - Culture - Code - Understanding of customer - Internal memos - Relationships - Internal alignment

My crazy beliefs about writing:

Writing fast is just as important as writing well.
Good writing isn’t about good syntax or grammar. Having interesting ideas is much more important.
If you can’t write, don’t read a writing book. Build a note-taking system first.

To get more interesting ideas, live a more interesting life.

To live a more interesting life, do what most are scared to do.

To do what most are scared to do, understand most fears are unjustified.

To understand most fears are unjustified, stop living in your mind: just do it.

There's one thing that top thinkers do differently than average thinkers:

They take higher-order effects into account; most people don't think past first-order effects.

Example: always look at the incentives your actions set up instead of just looking at the immediate results.

Instead of asking what you want to achieve, ask what you want to do on regular basis.

Achievements come at a cost, and people often don't compare the cost with the results.

But if you like the process, then the cost is NEGATIVE, and achievements come as natural side effects.

Happiness generally isn't about making more money, but rather freedom.
