How a tweet led to me joining @chamath's new company @8090solutions: (We are hiring 10x engineers! Share a project you've built that you are most proud of if interested!) My friend @TheZachEffect works with the summit and was telling me about the great speakers last year (@tobi @MrBeast , etc). Major FOMO. But the $7000 ticket was outside my student budget My friend @ZoomifiGuy was going and shared @Jason's post giving away one free ticket I knew I had to give it a shot! I thought about why I wanted to go As a Waterloo engineering student I'm in a bubble of engineers and technical people But most people using technology are very different from me I wanted to talk to people who are interested in technology/AI but come from different backgrounds. What are they excited for/interested in? Packaged this up in a Tweet and hit "Post" To my surprise, @Jason gave me the ticket! So within a day I booked a flight, got on a plane and flew from Toronto to Los Angeles for a conference @heidibraun helped get me into the "VIP" dinner (thank you!) There I saw @chamath. He was mobbed by people so it was hard to get a word in and talk to him I saw him go to the washroom and took my chance I went in as well and started washing my hands Five minutes later Chamath joins me and I introduce myself, tell him I'm a @UWaterloo student and talk about my project dubbah dot co I had built with my friend @povgoggles He tells me about his new company @8090solutions , and tells me to send my resume to his email I meet with his team. Instantly impressed by how smart they are and their technical chops. They liked me too and the rest is history! Big thanks to @Yung_Spielburg for letting me crash on his couch! It was also great seeing old friends and making new ones: @BigBrother_Jane @drfzs @ChrisMadden_

When you have to put down your personal wealth to solve a problem, you are incentivized to solve it. When you confiscate money from others to solve a problem, you are incentivized to keep it unsolved.

AI is letting too many people be perfectionists, and perfectionists don’t change the world. If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of what is released, you have waited too long. Ship now, and iterate!

Would love to talk to some of these students @KellyClaudeAI about what we’re building at @8090_Factory !

Never ever give up!
