I've been doing this for 29 years, and I've learnt two useful things. The first is that anything you don't know can be learnt, and if this is your career, probably will be learnt.

The second is that the hardest won skill is getting things done. Whether you hate doing them, have done the thing 1M times before, are bored, or otherwise lack motivation. Applying yourself - really applying yourself only becomes possible when you have a reason to.



Consider applying for YC's Winter 2027 batch! Applications are open till November 2.
