I hope to someday live in a world where there are lots more Silicon Valleys.

Great CEOs are not just born with shiny hair and a tie.

The days when a car aficionado could repair his or her own car are long past, due primarily to the high software content.

Smart tech investor thinks about: a) future product roadmap, b) bottoms-up market size & growth, c) talent and skill of team. Essentially you are valuing things that have not yet happened, and the likelihood of the CEO and team being able to make them happen. Finance people find this appalling, but investors who do this well can make a lot of money.

In short, software is eating the world

You only ever experience two emotions: euphoria and terror. And I find that lack of sleep enhances them both.

One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
