Founders

it seems that startup approaches split politically along the rift of techno-centricity: whether we believe in technology is a means to an end, a tool, or its own domain around which other things orbit. 

two groups and two dogmas form:

vibe of the first: "let's hire a dev to ship this", do things that don’t scale, enterprise SaaS, user interviews, product/business CEO. 

vibe of the second: “fuck around and find out”, hackathons, tinkering, research and deep tech, engineer as CEO.

building /amp and /guess. prev: 2x founder, improbable, github, amazon. ntik.me

fortune cookie casts, memes, parenting, building frames, /framedl & /framedl-pro

i think it depends if you aim to build a business or a technology. you don't build amazon or airbnb by tinkering in the same way as you don't build bitcoin or midjourney with user interviews

hmm, i kind of believe in first and prefer the 2nd approach. maybe it's a matrix :)
