Really, I think some twitter accounts are more vapid feel-good nuggets than actual advice (including this one)

I've checked the thread and while there's some materiality to it, it's not anything I haven't heard elsewhere. I'm also wary of founders that might have "gotten lucky" (a weak project in SV is much easier to get financed than a more solid project elsewhere), I'm skeptical of that founder's current project (looks too niche to be sustainable)




I follow Suhail, and he was the founder of a competitor of mine, the stuff he's working on now is really interesting and a lot of the technical challenges the team are working on are fun and interesting.

He's not someone I consider to be full of bullshit, but his thoughts on startups are as valuable as anyone else's with a few extra grains of salt that are worth considering.

To be fair, he did say that his first target was 10 customers. I assume all 10 of them happy as he mentioned.
