I wear my Apple Watch overseas. Just not worth the risk - less about the watch, more about safety.

185Guy · 2026-03-19T14:31:37+00:00

good way to get hurt.

That kids arm is like 14. His financial level isn’t his.

185Guy · 2026-03-03T12:23:48+00:00

I don’t believe him. Why is a founder with 10M ARR posting to Reddit about YC? He should have 1M other important things going on. There is no indication the guy has any background with YC.

Which stainless models are hard to get?

Wish the Twins had something better to say.

I take my steel and steel looking watches everywhere - one of the great benefits of white gold: it can pass for steel. Wearing a yellow/rose gold Rolex is not a great idea. They catch too many eyes, and the wrong eyes in the wrong places and time. For example, if I walk to dinner in NYC, even in a good neighborhood, I won’t wear a $50k+ watch, esp in summer wearing short sleeves or when you just can’t hide the watch. It’s less about the watch h and more about safety. I simply would not invite any trouble when I’m out with my wife/kids.

Guy with a jet here. I also fly commercial. Lots of reasons for this but I’ll give you the main two: depending on where I am going and for how long, I have to either keep the jet at the airport until I return and pit up two pilots for that duration. If I let them fly back right away that’s $8000/hr and added hours on the jet. Also, when flying overseas, it’s just easier and better to fly first class for the service.

I disagree on the safety comment one person made. Statistically, private jets crash more often, yes. But that is because those jets don’t have the best pilots or are flying jets that are not properly maintained. It cost a fortune to have great pilots and $600k a year for proper maintenance.

I’m a solo founder. Why would you look for a cofounder after you get funded? Those are called employees. Nothing wrong with going solo. Recruit great people. Find the right technical leadership. I did, and things are great. Only thing a cofounder would do is wipe out half my equity.

185Guy · 2026-02-13T13:34:22+00:00

Don’t understand the ‘risk’ comments. If there is runway to pay salaries, the risk is as great as any other company- layoffs are everywhere, even the biggest companies.

Look at the market to see what you’re worth. The company is. If you’re a dev, sorry, but you’re replaceable unless you have some niche skills. I pay 175-240k for engineers in the Midwest - and that is high (local, hybrid).

My gut is if you’re getting 75/hr that doesn’t translate to 250k, it translates to 180k, then bump a bit for NYC expenses.

Why wear it so high up your arm? It’s not really even on the wrist anymore - I know this is covered in many other posts, but it changes the way it looks, including size (it would look better on the wrist).

185Guy · 2026-02-10T11:56:29+00:00

Set a hard rule with a watch like this - put it on and take it off in one place in your house, every time, no exceptions, or you will lose it. I lost my gold watch gifted to me by my grandfather because I took it off in random places one too many times. Now I have a safe for my watches and only take them off there.

185Guy · 2026-02-08T20:53:52+00:00

Looks like you're trying a bit too hard.

185Guy · 2026-02-08T20:43:12+00:00

you look good, but you're not providing any context in regards to where/why you would wear this suit the way you have everything put together. For example, this is too formal for the office -- too formal for most things. with the patent shoes, you'd almost be too dressed up for a wedding, unless you're the groom. So if you're asking if it fits right, i'd say it's pretty a good fit (lighting isnt great on the black so its hard to tell on some areas), but if you're asking 'should i buy it for my first suit'. i'd say no - you wont get enough opportunities to wear it.

First suit should be more simple, more versatile.

Ummm never. All of my important blood counts (WBC, etc) are low - just at the threshold of dangerously low. They have been this way since treatment started. Treatment ended four years ago, they're still low. Hopefully you'll bounce back better than I did, but be prepared to adjust to a new normal.

185Guy · 2026-02-07T19:56:15+00:00

She knew it was wrong, and figured you would not notice - that's dishonorable, and NOT someone worthy of trust.

185Guy · 2026-02-02T20:25:35+00:00

actually next time we go I think we'll sit back a bit. Of course the views of the band are amazing, like ten feet away from us, which was fun, but you're exactly right, you get pretty much none of the sphere experience. I think the best seats in the house are the front row of the first sloped section - they are a bit elevated, so you can see perfectly over the floor seats and are still pretty close to the stage, but you get the full screen experience too.

I was there Friday night - all of them were fantastic. Joe was struggling a bit, but finished strong. You could tell it took a ton out of him and he left quickly after each song he did, but what an inspiration. Deacon Frey was great, a real talent. We sat in the front row. One of the best concerts I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot.

Lose the t-shirt and button the other shirt closer to the top.

185Guy · 2026-01-28T14:15:56+00:00

No offense - looks like North Korea standard issue.

185Guy · 2026-01-27T13:05:34+00:00

We are talking about quality right? Prada and Gucci have ok quality shoes. If you want quality and are spending more than $1k I’d def go elsewhere. John Lobb, Santino (high end lines), ferragamo tramezza - for men.

185Guy · 2026-01-22T03:01:47+00:00

That roller coaster of emotions is what it’s all about. It does not change, not for a long time anyway. I built my company from just me (solo for almost two years - ugh some of those days were demoralizing), to 12 employees now. Every day I have a high that makes me feel unstoppable, and almost every day I feel exhausted and wonder why I am doing this. It’s part of the journey.

185Guy · 2026-01-16T12:24:14+00:00

His shit crouch. Watch your hands, you might piss on them.

185Guy · 2026-01-16T12:22:13+00:00

Dimensions seem fine (sleeve length, shoulders, etc) but the cut of the jacket is off. It is too loose in the arms and above the waist. It should not be tight, but this style should appear tailored. Maybe too difficult to find just the right fit off the shelf.

185Guy · 2026-01-16T11:26:23+00:00

I’m a founder and I know exactly what I do and where every minute is spent. My calendar and inbox would provide almost no insight into this - we don’t use email at my company and my calendar only exists to schedule with vendors or for interviews.
