What Brad Feld says most about
innovation 2
- New technologies raise the ceiling for skilled practitioners instead of diminishing them.
- Doing creative work in public, where failures are visible, produces faster useful feedback.
startups 2
- Entrepreneurial ecosystems are built by the entrepreneurs who lead them, take a long-term view, and give first.
- A hardware company can be doing everything right and still fail the Rule of 40 for years.
writing 2
- The ethical failure in using AI to write is publishing unread, unowned work, not using the tool itself.
- World-building in fiction cannot be mere decoration — it must be integral to the plot.
