For defense startups have a decent technical background but understand the problem space really well (cost plus based primes vs "product" oriented startups). Reading "The kill chain" would be a good primer for this. Also understanding the Palantir vs US Army court case from 2018 would be bonus points.
Maxim #10: How much value you create for others and help them improve their lives and position is how you will ultimately be rewarded. The greater the value you make, the more you get in return.

not dreaming harder is being disrespectful to yourself
Pavlova is a show-stopping meringue dessert made of egg whites, sugar, corn starch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
This is a strawberry variant made by Cedric Grolet.
A good example being Loom. I just want to record my screen and share a link on X.
Why would I need to pay $$$ for that when I can replicate a screen capture app in 5 min with tools like @Replit Agent.
(I used the app to record the app lolz)
Better distribution beats a better product all the time.
You don't need to be the best.
You need to be seen.
Focus on getting your startup's story out there.
That's how you win.

I think surviving the "AI wave" means being irreplaceable, which means if you're now just getting by as a dev, you probably going to be replaced by AI.
Real competent devs on the other hand, going to be very valuable
Stripe founder John Collison explains his product principle of “talking up to the user”
John believes current consumer product thinking can be harmful:
“You have users by the wheelbarrow. You treat them in aggregate. You talk about MAUs. Everything is statistical and everything - like LinkedIn with the dark patterns and complete your profile - is nudging you towards some business outcome.”
He continues:
“What we really try to clobber people over the head with at Stripe is that [our users] are people starting a business who are generally really talented… And you can just see it if you go talk to any of them. And so we have another value at Stripe that we try to really inculcate, which is talking up to the user.”
To stay connected to their users, Stripe will invite one user to their weekly fireside chats, and they have a conversation about how they use Stripe and what they’d like to see Stripe do better.
“I think it’s important to stay connected to this because I think the classic technology product management domain - it’s a bit, I would say, not respectful enough of who the users actually are and how capable they are.”
