Русских в США распирает на стартапы
Когда ты работаешь за хорошую зарплату, тебе приятно, что ты можешь купить себе дорогие часы. Я не представляю себе выпускника Стэнфорда, который радовался бы такой возможности, для него это мелко.

@alexdmoore about startuping
It's still uncool to work for large tech companies if you are a CS major at Stanford. You can do it, but it's not cool. This leaves the warm embrace of cool startups warm.

The only alternative is to work harder
The short and sweet answer is to work harder. You cannot control luck. You cannot control amount of financial resources you have. But what you can definitely control is the amount of effort. Your competitior or neighbour might be advantaged in all respects but you can compensate all that just by working harder.

Matt Mickiewicz about One Thing
I think it’s really important to become known for one thing, and one thing only. And do that very, very well.

About a wonderful job
They see a wonderful job: going to cocktail parties and networking events, flying in private jets, and getting sucked up to by entrepreneurs while pulling down a base salary of $500,000/year plus a piece of the upside of selling a YouTube for $1.6 billion. Who wouldn’t want such a job? (Frankly, I would too.)

Plans and goals
The big problem with plans and goals: They lock you in. You put on blinders. You stop improvising. You don’t change direction. That’s bad, especially if you’re a company that needs to improvise and change with the times.

About speed
So why do I spend so much time thinking about startups? I'll tell you why. Economically, a startup is best seen not as a way to get rich, but as a way to work faster. You have to make a living, and a startup is a way to get that done quickly, instead of letting it drag on through your whole life.

Memorize it
You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed.
