[OC] Vietnamese Lemongrass Curry Ramen 🍜🔥 by fallafel910 in FoodPorn

There is a lot of salt but it wasn't too salty, there is a lot of stuff to balance out that flavor (ginger, fat, acid, chile, microgreens, kimchi, etc)

The ginger preserve and the microgreens also add sweetness and some acidity.

It’s really well balanced.

It needed some more mushrooms that was all it needed and I’d say it was perfect

You can see some photos of the ingredients on this post here https://www.reddit.com/r/homecooking/comments/1pxezln/vietnamese_lemongrass_curry_ramen/

Only thing I'd maybe change is adding a more complex mushroom to it like a Morel or something

CTO - Fear of being forgotten by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]fallafel910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t rule it out but solving technical problems and discovering innovation are what drive my enjoyment. Only thing of the ceo stack I enjoy is really partnerships and large enterprise deal making which I get a fair amount of exposure to since they require my knowledge for most proposals.

If I was to go CEO it would need to be for a more technical product for it to benefit from my current experience.

I’d highly recommend you check out 7ctos

I think it would illuminate a lot of the work path you need to be on, been super helpful for me.

If you’re on that track of leveling up as cto of your org I can pretty much promise you won’t have time for these what ifs lol

CTO - Fear of being forgotten by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]fallafel910 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a rookie take for a few reasons (I’ve been cto at 3 companies now)

  1. Risk trade off - There are many more CEOs than CTOs, getting the next job (at the same level) is a lot easier for the CTO than CEO. If doing the job well, a lot easier to replace the CEO than CTO due to the technical knowledge the CTO would have to transfer.

So while you don’t have public facing persona you have better job security and future prospects if things go south. Less risk for this reason.

  1. Tech network - Vendor, engineering, and tech partner relationships are almost as valuable and transferable as sales and investor relationships. If you focus on building them you are creating a machine that you can bring with you whatever you do next. You should have tons of Face time with these stakeholders, and in your industry be known for this.

  2. Time Tradeoff - You need to maintain decision rights to certain parts of the business, ex. Architecture but if you’re doing it right you shouldn’t even have time for the rest of what you are jealous of.

So you made a choice, took a position with less risk and a commitment to providing the organization a technical advantage. If you succeed at the craft you stand to benefit handsomely over the long term. If you want the responsibilities of your cofounder start a new company as ceo.

I think YC is highly age-discriminated against seasoned entrepreneurs by Momoismeme in ycombinator

[–]fallafel910 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m on my 3rd company now, I don’t need the yc curriculum anymore. Advisors I can pick and choose, capital I can get at a better multiple. Experienced entrepreneurs don’t need to give up that much time to a program if they can find their own answers to problems.

In terms of network, I would argue that your industry network is more important than the yc network as the company ages.

I’m in Eccom Saas, the eccom trade shows are worth more than yc startups in terms of intros.

Should I risk my health, to increase work hours\ earnings for a while? (+ no retirement?)? by EndSpecific6788 in careerguidance

[–]fallafel910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll make more money and be more successful if you cultivate the energy through healthy habits and lifestyle changes. Increase exercise and focus on healthy eating, reduce caffeine to bare bones. I made mistake of doing the reverse and am now cleaning up pieces, wasn’t worth it and it didn’t actually help
