What Nat Eliason says most about
ambition 2
- Risk-taking becomes exponentially harder as a person gets older.
- Each year of delay costs a person about ten percent of their prime risk-taking years.
design 2
- A twist works best when it is discoverable on rewatch rather than achieved by directly misleading the audience.
- The effectiveness of a plot twist depends on how carefully a story's point of view relates to its audience.
SaaS 2
- Per-seat SaaS pricing, as used by tools like Slack, will become hard to defend.
- Most people will keep paying for software rather than build and maintain their own.
social media 2
- Content that avoids any combative or provocative stance is unlikely to go viral.
- Public disagreement with a piece of writing tends to be loud while agreement with it tends to be silent and go unnoticed.
taste 2
- As AI lowers the barrier to building software, personal taste becomes a more valuable differentiator.
- A twist works best when it is discoverable on rewatch rather than achieved by directly misleading the audience.
