We spent a lot of time testing and discussing if it was the right call to make Gemini 3 our default model in Amp. We've never chosen a new model on launch day before, however we were very impressed with the performance and intelligen

Fair point - revenue is just a way to speak about size. Amongst my CEO friends, yearly revenue is used as the blunt measurement of the size of business. I would say there's some validity to the fact that each step can build on the prev

I think that was either a huge compliment, or a terrible slight, but I can't quite figure out which one :)

The reason I pity people who are passionate about power or money is because I have experienced much greater happiness in loving and being loved, unconditionally. The strongest of those loves are from my wife, my kids, my sisters and my mom

It seems like I have some sort of in-built desire to do something that 'matters'. The only way I have to measure this is 'number of lives changed'.

Just keep doing the best you can. If you don't have what appears to be a world-changing idea right now, you still are providing value by creating jobs and offering value to your customers. I didn't know I was going to create Treeh

That's why I chose my definition carefully. Being able to raise capital is determined by a lot of things that unfortunately, you cannot control. This is one of the reasons I'm so passionate about Treehouse. We can empower more peo

I pity someone who is 'passionate' about those things.

You should blog about it!

Interesting that you were at Google. What did you do there? I'm just finishing "I'm Feeling Lucky" about Google's early days.

I don't think "focus on getting lucky" is quite right either. I didn't sift through all the available opportunities and choose changing education. I was personally interested in this problem - it mattered to me on an e

I hadn't thought about how these cons might also apply to large traditionally managed companies. Thx. > BTW, apparently there are citation-like watermarks when copy-pasting from the blog post - this isn't a big deal, but I don&
