Stripes that move on from the company and find themselves at companies that don’t embrace the written word to the same extent. I count myself among them. We all report feeling a bit lost and disconnected from their colleagues without it.
Kool-Aid Factory • Writing In Public, Inside Your Company
Most hacker-founders would like to spend all their time programming. You won't get to, unless you fail. Which can be transformed into: If you spend all your time programming, you will fail.
Paul Graham • What Startups Are Really Like
The thing that will endure for 100 years, the way it has for most 100 year companies, is the culture. The culture is what creates the foundation for all future innovation. If you break the culture, you break the machine that creates your products.
Brian Chesky • Don’t Fuck Up the Culture
Even if you want to be big someday, remember that you never need to act like a big boring company.
