A forest


What if this is like building a small community garden that is not open for public.


imo, Shopify is evolving quite a lot both in response to where the world is headed (post pandemic online-offline opportunity), as well as now building on top of its learning/experience.

Hi, everyone – this is Waqas, cofounder of Atoms.If you have any question, I’d answering later today. Thanks.


“noprocrast” is a great tip, and for FB I suggest Chrome extension called News Feed Eradicator.

When starting a new company (esp without any compelling background), no one cares about their project. So founders often reach out/involve potential employees/advisors/supporters on the side line, and sometimes those name appears on incorporation document/contracts/rent agreement etc because founders were trying to get things off the ground. And they don’t want to screw up the newly built relationship to get going.

Situation like these do not make someone a real co-founder.


For me it was Richard Hamming’s You and Your Research.

(Tip: Any essay longer than 2 pages, I put on a Google docs, print out and read offline.)
