@cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital Former failed founders LOL.
@cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital This was a really fun event
@cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital Hiring former founders who chose correctness over comfort explains a lot about how Devin turned out
@cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital that's actually a pretty common pattern in many successful startups founders know how to hire because they've done it before themselves. doesn't mean it's easy, but familiarity helps when scaling up
@henrycoo0 @cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital And you think that's an insult ? A failed founder is a 100 untold lessons and a thousand more insights
@cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital Must listen for founders in this cycle. Former founders already understand correctness over comfort.
