Focus. 

Not claiming to be world-class at it. Varun is much better at focus than I am—I get distracted by shiny new things all the time. 

But ultimately you only have a fixed number of "shots on goal" before you lose momentum (and in other cases, funding). 

Have to constantly be asking yourself is this the highest priority thing we can work on? And if everything is high priority, then you're not focused.

Good clip below on what world-class looks like here (note that Jony doesn't think he is good at it).

the difference between farcaster team and you (the reader) is that farcaster is a vc-backed company that has enough runway to last into the next century

you, sitting where you are, with $100 in your bank account, don't have any right or time to focus; you have to play the attention economy

facebook didn't succeed because zuck focused, it succeeded because four things were right:
- luck
- market (timing)
- zuck's grit and ability to move fast

*in this order*

do not slow down because you're "focusing"

if something doesn't work, drop it, and work on something else

in my experience, you know if something works or not *within the first week* of launching

it's no longer apple II time, it's the attention economy we live in

*never* assume that if something worked for someone it would work for you

statistics shows that *it wouldn't*

don't fight the nature, embrace it

vibe code

launch

check

repeat

until you succeed
