the CEO of Nvidia - he wouldn't start a company if he had to do it all over again. it's just too hard.
One of the biggest reasons it gets harder to do new things as you get older is that new things are generally undignified at first (indeed, this is an excellent heuristic for discovering them) and the older you get, the more dignified you're expected to be.
A business doesn't need a mission, a vision, a guiding light, or a north star to stay in business. It doesn't need AI or this framework or that tech stack. It doesn't need an investor, a board, or the backing of X, Y, or Z.
It just needs to make more than it spends.
