thank you very much. lots of lessons learned from following bull for over a decade. pulled all the most important advice that made the most difference: use decision trees, filter your inputs, avoid stupidity, copy smart people, keep trying until something clicks, and the internet can teach you anything. seems simple, but combined made a massive difference in little things that opened up big doors. very grateful to have found this corner of the internet

hope I was clear, but let me know if anything is confusing or if you want me to elaborate.

or if you just think I'm wrong. always interested to hear opposing arguments

cheers

How do we break into tech without a degree? Or how do we speed run a degree that can help us get into tech?

This could be a $100 (minimum) ebook.

Fox didn't shill himself enough, so I'll do it for him. I joined his mentorship group back in 2022 and he helped me pivot from academia to tech and triple my salary. I just joined it again to consult with him about a new business.

Would highly recommend if you want to level up in tech or a SaaS business. Unparalleled basedness 🥂

There's so many useful perspective shifts in this I got about half way down and thought, yes I have to read this again. Brilliant and not just for the 20s people.

Absolutely cracked, it’s hard to overstate how much I wish I had this a decade ago.

This is very good. Not a person in 20s nor a student anymore, but this was a much needed reminder!

One of the most impressive traits of the the founding CTO of my company (8 figure NW) is they do not let any meeting proceed without understanding the context of what's being discussed.

Everytime I watch it happen is another reminder to myself - your own comprehension is what's most important.

Great post.
