The Daily Loop #36

Thirty-sixth edition of The Daily Loop. 3 long-form reads, 3 short-term tweets, 1 quote and some daily advice! Have a read.

The Daily Loop newsletter focuses on information that can be consumed in 2 minutes every day by linking to posts across the internet, formatted in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. In a 3-3-1-1 design.

The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

Relax.

Because they followed a passion, not because they had a plan.

Jobs erased by AI

I can’t entirely agree with all of the above but I would say that things like marketing, content creation and copywriting can mostly be replaced with ChatGPT today.

Love this Stripe core value: Be micro pessimists but macro optimists

“We overestimate what we can do in short terms and under estimate our ability to do big long-term changes.”

Biggest hiring lesson for start ups I learned: Be very careful when you hire fancy execs from big companies. They often can’t deliver results under constrained resources. What makes you successful in a big company is very different than what makes you successful in a start up.

Emphasis on the last point! Startup culture is very different from big tech. Do not just look at credentials and assume they would be a good fit for your company.

#earthquaketurkey 🇹🇷 A 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey today! More than 2900+ buildings collapsed, thousands of people injured & died! Lots of people are still under rubble, it's freezing cold outside. and it's almost night! International mobilization & rescue teams now !!!

Wanted to bring some attention to this awful event earthquake that happened in Turkey and surrounding countries today. Donate to any causes if you can. Extremely sad situation.

1 piece of advice from me

Loopify 🧙‍♂️ @Loopifyyy

If you are in this game to make money, Learn to not trade with emotions. You can sell a project without thinking it’s bad, just like you can buy a project if you don’t believe in it.
