I remember reading your announcement that you were leaving TechCrunch and thought you were crazy too.
Then I became really interested in Rally because of it.
One other way to think about it: if you see someone make a “crazy” career move you should dig in.

If bootstrapping a $5-10k/month business is your goal, then starting a meditation app might be a good idea.

If you're starting a meditation company right now, you're probably too late.
Calm was started in 2012. When @tewy explained the concept to me back then I thought he was crazy.
Build companies that make people think you're crazy in 2020.
We don't need more meditation apps.

NBA 2K20 already added the Kobe Bryant patch to players jerseys:
Amazing to see how quickly video game developers ship products.
Growing up, we would have to wait an entire year to get this update.
Video games are now software products that ship updates almost every week. pic.twitter.com/nVfAt24h4K

Tank - on demand gas delivery. Spent 6+ months trying to build and never got off the ground luckily.

I built a bunch of products and a 3 of them were #1 on Product Hunt in a few months. Also learned web development at a full time bootcamp.

Congrats Semil. Love this quote on the new site:
"We’re focused on the early chapters of company formation."
I view startups as being stories with chapters too.
The early chapters are an exciting place to influence their stories.

Thanks Liebs and Shane. I remember the Mint Plaza walks & @jonnyliebs throwing my going away party before Tinder.
We were all trying to figure it & failed lots but have been lucky to bounce back.
We will fail plenty more too, but all part of this fun & unpredictable journey.

Agreed, we often go through our days without hearing that. Especially means a lot when someone has seen the entire career arc.

Love the Sunday morning Twitter vibes. Proud of you too. I remember renting a desk from you when you has 1 employee (yourself) and a tiny office. Now you have a big company.
That place was a shoebox but it was the best of times.

An old friend who watched my career the past 10 years sent a note that said "I'm really proud of you."
She saw me join a startup that struggled in 2011. She saw me try to launch my own startup & fail in 2014.
The road looks easy on Twitter, but it's not.
Meant the world to me.
