I've always believed in karma, but lately, I’ve started to doubt it. Why do fraudsters get to laugh, while people like us—who don't believe in hurting anyone—end up dealing with their mess? Why do those who act horribly seem to escape the consequences they deserve? Is the world really built on such flawed logic, or is there someone up there keeping things in balance? Honestly, I don't think there's anyone in the sky making things fair. I could choose to be like them, but my conscience won’t allow it—and that doesn’t make me weak.

Here's the truth of the matter. For the better part of the last decade, virtually every startup founder (at least someone who fits the image you just painted in your mind) has been building something around technology. It doesn't matter if its B2B or B2C, we're all just in an endless loop of trying to solve problems through, and don't mind me saying it: code. All the fancy around it is just noise. There's little to no novelty apart from like 1 in 500,000 startups, and an even smaller number is actually doing fundamental research. Virtually everyone has the same GTM playbook: same sales strategy, same lead generation channels, and same marketing tactics; and the same idea. So, where does a non-technical founder fit in? Well, for starters, to create the noise. I know it, because I do it. The decent part? Almost everyday you're just tweaking existing practices, following tried and tested methods, and have relatively higher historical validation for what you are trying to do. Do 'x' enough number of times in 'y' manner, and you're sorted. Well, not necessarily good, but at least secure. The bad part? You never know if anything will actually work. It's not 1+1, and every time something doesn't work, there isn't really any tangible advice you can get to get it to work. And then, comes the "are you worth it?" showdown. It's purely a matter of probability — you can do the perfect thing, and still have the tech co-founders question your capabilities. The worse part? Almost everyday, you die a little. It's either the investors bickering about why they can't see their profits/exit soon enough, or you're just grappling with the fact that no one will take your ideas seriously because you aren't 'tech enough'. So, your role is reduced (and considered akin) to that of support staff. There's little respect, lesser peace, and a 100 instances of context switching in a matter of hours with absolutely no acknowledgement for anything. If you're non-technical, and plan to stay that way, build something that has your print of every inch of it. Because if you aren't raising PRs in GitHub 10 times a day, well, you get the drift.

Have heard a lot of folks annoyed by the taste of the food their cook prepares. Running a quick survey to understand if/how satisfied you with the quality of food your cook prepares to understand the quantum of this issue.

My company is sort of building a new product and the current product will be archived once the new one takes off. I’ve already give my best for last 2 years to build such a deep tech product and has kind of decided that this will be my last year depending on the new sales. With this new product inline that changes everything, this will take another 2 yrs to materialize in terms of sales However can’t I build this on my own is a new thought that have popped up into my head. Thoughts??
