Deep thoughts with the Deep

Some of my friends are working and mid-scale startups that have been delaying salaries since late last year. Is this becoming a norm now or was it always like this?

Grapevine made us realise, we are so much more than our name designation and companies 🥺

Lot of founders and techies are jumping into this creator space, what might be their motivation to do this

Hello Bs & Gs, Thanks for a positive response to the last post: https://share.gvine.app/EDm3me9JnJSnD3d17 A quick note for today. Over the years, being a generalist, I've realized that it's very tough to know when we're bringing the right impact or not. In the case of Devs/Designers/Other specialists: The output is quicker and tells the story - an amazing UI/UX, or building well working products. For generalists, the feedback loop is much longer, it's very unclear what it will amount to (especially at startups), it's the reason why being a generalist is looked down upon, by some people. My realization has been this: over a 1-2 year period, when you look back at your work, it's the picking that determines how you feel about what you did. And also how others feel about how you did. PICKING: Knowing what to work on. What to A/B test. What 0 to 1s to pursue. Should you prioritize product idea A or product idea B. Should you experiment with growth channel A or growth channel B. EXECUTION: Taking what you pick from 0 to 1. Knowing when to take it from 1-10. Working to make it happen. Eventually, most days are execution days. Whether you do good work depends on how well researched & well thought out the 'picking' was. So pick well, don't under-invest in that stage. Take out time every now and then to course correct. Know what to pick.
