Once worked at a place in 2017 with a dipshit CIO. Guy spent his entire time trying to evangelize Teams as the reason to switch to Microsoft. He ended up leaving 11 months into the gig and we were more than happy to stay on Slack.

It feels like Microsoft has a (bad) deal with every 3rd rate IT leader where the IT leader eschews Microsoft's BS in exchange for being "unfireable" because "who else knows how all the Microsoft stuff works?"

Gatekeepers going to gate keep. American doctors overprescribe EVERYTHING. From unnecessary tests to unnecessary surgeries & even unnecessary pharma (see Opiod crisis), a majority of MDs are looking out for their wallet first.

Of course you love the AMA. They artificially keep supply of doctors low so you can justify the exorbitant costs for a 15 minute consultation. It's no surprise that the state of tech in US Healthcare is also so poor. When you're so busy sitting on your high horse about your education, you dgaf about the actual experience for the patient.

You say the AMA keeps folks from seeing someone who just 'slipped through the cracks' but completely ignore the fact that many folks will complete their medical education training in the Carribbean and then do residency in the US. The worst part, post-residency, it's almost impossible to know where a physician went to medical school because they obfuscate and deflect to where they did their residency.

Also the arrogance surrounding foreign medical professionals in this comment is astounding. Most doctors around the world want to focus on helping their patient actually heal. American doctors just treat symptoms.

I get why you see the need for this product. However, as someone who launched on PH and got featured w/ a team of two and no financial backers, I think the point is that it should not be easy to get featured.

PH does a great job of putting filters in place to ensure only the 'best' (whether by polish, value prop, or combo of both) products end up making it to the top. It really forces makers to put their absolute best foot forward when launching.

You gotta love good survivorship bias stories like this. Especially those written by VC armchair quarterbacks. It's always the same examples reiterated over and over again.

this was my biggest gripe w/ academic math. Whenever i'd ask my teachers how these concepts are applied in the real world, i'd get a non-answer that showed me a) the teachers themselves have no clue and b) they're hoping you'll just shut up and follow the curriculum.

I agree that we are ripe for an educational system that is truly disruptive. Our current educators are so disconnected from the real world and have no idea how to apply what they teach.

IMO most folks find it easier to point to the million reasons why something wont work/why someone is speaking from a point of affluence/how luck/finances/etc play a role in success than to just do the thing, learn from their mistakes, and grow. It's probably because doing the latter is hard and forces you to face ambiguity & hard personal growth on a daily basis.

You are correct that we charge a per org fee regardless of number of seats. For non-profits, we offer a 50% discount on the subscription price. All the nonprof needs to do to get the discount is email me at [email protected]

My cofounder and I launched Kbee (https://kbee.app) in 2021 as a way to turn Google Drive Folders into hosted, searchable wikis. We're doing ~$2k/month and run it as a side project

> I came to Silicon Valley to learn as much as possible.

This is so refreshing to read. Feels like 80%+ of ppl i came across in SV over the last 10 years do not have this mindset.

Hold this philosophy close and guard it fiercely. It is your secret weapon in a world of rising mediocrity
