1: [Hiring] Repeat founders vs first-time founders

"Hardest part of being a founder isn’t doing the things (though a lot of that is hard). It’s withstanding constant 2nd guessing by everyone on all the things - product, pricing, hiring, fundraising. This, I think,is true advantage of repeat founders. Trusting gut above all else."

25: Google has 175,000+ capable and well-compensated employees who get very little done quarter over quarter, year over year.

Like mice, they are trapped in a maze of approvals, launch processes, legal reviews, performance reviews, exec reviews, documents, meetings, bug reports, triage, OKRs, H1 plans followed by H2 plans, all-hands summits, and inevitable reorgs. The mice are regularly fed their “cheese” (promotions, bonuses, fancy food, fancier perks) and despite many wanting to experience personal satisfaction and impact from their work, the system trains them to quell these inappropriate desires and learn what it actually means to be “Googley” — just don’t rock the boat.

26: One hiring lesson connected to ChatGPT

One lesson connected to ChatGPT is that reliable pple aren't those who have good answers in general, but those who answer ONLY things they know v. well. When lost, you'd rather get no direction than a wrong one. Real doctors let you know what is outside their expertise. When hiring someone, to make sure the person is not a b***tter, get the person to state "I have no clue" about something.

42: "My biggest mistake was hiring a big-public-company tech executive with a fancy resume who had never worked at a startup" - The failure points from $5m to $100m in ARR

As first-time founders we were too creative about organizational structure. We had a flat management hierarchy in the early years, and we bragged that we ran our startup like Star Trek — you were either in engineering or operations, and everyone reported to a founder. This was cute, until it quickly stopped working. People care about titles and career paths, and if you want to retain great people, you have to care about these things too.

52: Steve Jobs on why recruiting is the founder’s most important job

"I think it’s the most important job. Assume you’re by yourself in a startup and you want a partner. You’d take a lot of time finding the partner, right? He would be half of your company. Why should you take any less time finding a third of your company or a fourth of your company or a fifth of your company? When you’re in a startup, the first ten people will determine whether the company succeeds or not. Each is 10 percent of the company. So why wouldn’t you take as much time as necessary to find all the A players? If three were not so great, why would you want a company where 30 percent of your people are not so great?"
