Find the thing you feel guilty getting paid for, do the hell out of it with intensity, and take non-linear risks.

Turn aimless tech-tinkering into learning by chasing an arbitrary-but-real goal and being stubborn about reaching it.

Gauge whether an idea is truly disruptive by how polarized the reactions are, not how positive.

Users are lazy; adoption only happens when total value delivered exceeds total effort spent, ideally by 10x.

Evaluate a disruptive idea by imagining its upside first, then treat the objections as your build list.
