An hour of Trivia was the most fun they've had, said no person ever! Well jokes aside, I hosted a pretty fun Trivia event at Microsoft Research for it's Research in Software Engineering group and thanks to Madan Musuvathi and Aashaka Shah for coordinating. My favorite question of this Trivia was - "Steve Jobs had button phobia and strongly hated buttons. Hence, he asked his friend Issey Miyake to do something for him. What resulted because Steve Jobs wanted to show his hatred for buttons to the world?" (Submit your answers in the comment below)

Crazy to think it’s been two years already… A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Torev Motors and this crazy dream of mine! I believe it’s customary for founders to share a lesson or two on LinkedIn for milestones like this, so here are a few of mine… 1) Don’t mistake hard work with progress. Be specific with your actions, milestones speak louder than hours worked. 2) Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Resilience is a key to success and isn’t learned when everything is easy. 3) Make time for more than just work each day. Your relationships, health, and mental well-being need effort to keep healthy, too. Here’s to another big year to come!

We just started the sixth week of Antler's eight-week cohort. I'm amazed by the founders and how fast they've been able to create and launch products. 💪 Here are a few strategies we've encouraged our founders to follow: 1. Talk to real people before building anything. This way, you can figure out if your solution is solving a problem. Remember, it's better to provide "painkillers" than "vitamins." 💊 2. If your solution is solving a problem, people will pay for it. 💰 So, don't hesitate to charge them. 💳 3. Even if you're a technical co-founder, you must learn to sell on some level. It's crucial, particularly when you're trying to hire top-notch engineers. 🤝
