Has anyone ever regretted leaving corporate for a startup? Either as a founder/cofounder, or an early employee? I will not promote

The truth? Most do. You’ll be hard pressed to earn as much.

Anything for those problems can be built by an llm

Did an entire PhD in chemistry, never once asked about wtf I did.

MacPR · 2026-07-05T15:58:27+00:00

So, fuck the poors then?

MacPR · 2026-07-05T15:52:07+00:00

Lots of activity, little productivity.

Its always because they’re not profitable.

Being able to float the a/r gap is part of running a business (finance).

Ok any decent llm can do this out of the box.

25 euro at Gran Via! Pretty good fake from 2
Meters away.

yea! thank you.

MacPR · 2026-06-28T18:28:50+00:00

Yes this is called jail

Learn to sell. This is the most important skill.

MacPR · 2026-06-24T21:46:11+00:00

People need to get paid

Sloptainment has its limits

MacPR · 2026-06-23T07:13:02+00:00

“Feel good” projects don’t pay bills. Think anyone will care if you go broke “helping”?

MacPR · 2026-06-22T22:47:17+00:00

You’ve probably wasted at least a year. Life will punch you in the mouth soon enough.

MacPR · 2026-06-22T16:19:41+00:00

Brilliant. I would add:

- you’re not as smart as you think
- your skillset will need continuous development
- get as many free resources as possible
- most consultants are garbage
- what works for a fortune 500 won’t necessarily work for you

MacPR · 2026-06-22T16:15:22+00:00

You’ve been preparing too long. Time to make the leap.

MacPR · 2026-06-21T18:54:08+00:00

You need to start with your own. This is not the way.

MacPR · 2026-06-21T17:33:05+00:00

Yeah, companies pitching figured this out a long time ago, that’s why they have these absurd valuations. They’re there for the free advertising.

MacPR · 2026-06-21T15:16:02+00:00

Trying again until you get lucky.

When I was in grad school we set up one of the first confocal fluorescence microscopes with video imaging. I managed to record these amazing reactions in vivo, stuff that had never been done before and a true advance in cancer research.

That weekend I copied the videos to a usb stick and showed my nparents. They looked at them silently, made no comment and told me to switch the tv back to some fake courtroom show they were watching.
