Building is Hard: Stay in Community

A friend of mine shared a few personal thoughts on building his venture-backed / YC-based startup... shit is hard!

I wanted to share his thoughts today with my community... so as to give you all a bit more encouragement as well!

It is, of course, based off of Paul Graham's work. Love this:

Understand your users — This is something I started realizing this year (after YC really) that “understanding” in this context is a lot deeper understanding than I thought. It’s understanding their incentives, understanding why behind almost all actions, understanding where they are going, where were they before. Where do they hang out? It’s much harder than you think!

Keep going friends! You got this.

Say something nice to 8bit…
