No one ever, when they're old, feels they spent too much time with their kids. But there are plenty of people who feel they spent too little, and this must be the bitterest kind of regret.

I have recently started to invest more in wellbeing and health, and found @hubermanlab to be highly informative.

Health topics that people are finally starting to take seriously:
1) sleep
2) dopamine & reinforcement
3) food, water & air “cleanliness”
4) cardiovascular & muscular strength
5) alcohol
6) bio-measurements
Grateful to all learning & sharing health knowledge & protocols.

NGL, Locket, BeReal - millions of DAU each, all built on Firebase.
For NGL specifically, we’ve served over 2 billion pageviews and have a laughably cheap server bill (<1% of revenue).
Firebase scales beautifully.

"You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work back to the technology — not the other way around. I’ve probably made this mistake more than anybody, and I’ve got the scar tissue to prove it."

There are two types of managers in startups:
1. Doers who scale: People who care deeply about doing x, and need a team in order to do more/better x.
2. Manager first: People who consider their job organizing the people who do x.
Type 1 produces dramatically better outcomes.
