After reading this a couple of times I think this part stands out:

> When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive.

A very strong and independent character came to realize we all need each other to survive. A good reminder to stay humble.

Very interesting. Seems we are similar :D

What I didn't understand: How is the growing list of things stressing you out? Do you feel pressured to do something with the items?

I haven’t cut out caffeine but coffee instead.

I used to be a “heavy” drinker, 5-6 cups a day. Unfortunately, I started having really bad stomach problems. Constant acid burbs and heartburn so bad I couldn’t sleep some nights.

I tried everything. Changed coffee beans, the way I’d make it. Nothing helped.

So from one to another I switched to green tea, about a year ago. My Stich ach is great now. No more issues. I do miss the taste of coffee now and then. But overall I’m very happy to have made the switch.

Is this the equivalent to the “pre-mature scaling” phenomenon in tech?

In the early days of a startup, I agree with your statement. Once the company gets significantly bigger, these things start to matter a lot.

>There are three types of sales: team, team & tech, and team, tech, & traction. Each one is more valuable than the last, provided the company grows. The greater the revenue, the more likely the acquirer prices a target on a revenue multiple.

I have also seen team + traction and traction only.

Too bad when you're trending on HN and the link to the paid version at the end of the article returns 404...

Curious to understand: what kind of machinery is this and why does the cutting happen in water?

I agree 100%. I think from an investment perspective putting most of your time into marketing yields the highest return.

My biggest struggle so far is: How do I find those people to "sit and talk" to? Any advice on that?

Yes absolutely… my fault, should have been more specific. I was referring to the S&P500 index.
