Notas do Editor

  1. First
  2. First
  3. I accepted The Bargain What is the bargain?
  4. “ You’re fired”
  5. PG: “Economically, you can think of a startup as a way to compress your whole working life into a few years. Instead of working at a low intensity for forty years, you work as hard as you possibly can for four.”
  6. Build to flip? You have to pretend that you’re building a real business. Zuckerberg has 24% of Facebook
  7. PG: “Economically, you can think of a startup as a way to compress your whole working life into a few years. Instead of working at a low intensity for forty years, you work as hard as you possibly can for four. This pays especially well in technology, where you earn a premium for working fast.”

  9. Libraries are special Libraries have their own everything Librarians have their own databases Librarians have their own record formats Librarians have their own PROTOCOLS. Moore’s law doesn’t apply Tell your vendor!
  10. Not just tech. (Look at Novelist.)
