We need a new season of Silicon Valley + new main characters running an ai company, also they’re a polycule + Gavin goes to house parties to hit on 20 year olds and gets honeypotted by a Chinese agent who is actually just a private intel op by Jin Yang + Dinesh gets obsessed with Elon and joins DOGE

Had my mind blown by a founder that she doesn't do any 30m meetings, only 15 or 60 and I think she's 100% correct Any meeting is either quick and can get knocked out in 15 or needs deeper engagement and should have the space of 60.

I'm also a VERY bursty worker who thrives on deadlines so having 15m meetings but on 30m blocking gives me 15m to knock out work or take a break/walk before the next thing That part definitely isn't for everyone but I think will work for me

Similar thought with weekly 1:1s - too frequent to sit with real perspective but sparse enough that you move slower because "ill just talk to person about X in a couple days at our 1:1" instead of pinging now to handle it. Instead 1hr monthly 1:1s with daily standups or ad-hocs

New theory: you should only hire candidates who get at least one “no” in your hiring process (tldr: you need to take chances) conventional wisdom is that you want to hire someone who “ticks all the boxes” - but nobody is going to be an A+ on everything so you end up with someone who is Bs across the board but no “misses”. Someone mid instead, look for people you’re so fucking excited about on almost all the dimensions that you’re willing to take a risk on the parts they’re not, since if they succeed there, they’ll be the best hire you could imagine.
