Such a good read I’m going to print it out on paper!

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?

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.

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 🥂

Great article, thanks.

BTB apologies in advance if this isn't the place to ask, but question for Fox or anyone else with a proven track record of building bots - I have an idea for my industry which effectively summarises complex legislation and advises customers on what to do via a decision tree (keeping it vague given this isn't a paid post). However, I have no tech skills and very little spare time so am looking to potentially enter into a JV with someone who can do the tech side of things while I create the decision tree (there is a lot of legislation to sift through), website, marketing etc.

If the above would be of interest to anyone please let me know.

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.

you can tell fox is a hyper autist because he talks like a programmer

Wow. This is amazing.

And the opposite of what I did in my 20s to get into tech.

I can tell this would have led to me being a different person living a different life. Time to catch up

One of the best posts to date, and that's saying something since there have been plenty of good ones

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