The only part I'd remove that contradicts with what he says later is, "That's what other people think of you to keep you down."
Everything else is on point 👌
Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath "Bro, there is no failure."
"That is what other people think of you to keep you down. There's no failure. If you were left on an island and it happened, you would just brush it off and move on. It's everybody else that you think is judging you. But then, here's the secret. They don't give a fuck about you. They are living their own lives. So it's your perception of what they think of you."
"There is no failure. There's do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn."

Concluded the NeetCode redesign - huge congrats to @xilken
He made the entire UX so much cleaner, while still preserving the original design & functionality. Really really great attention to detail, especially the roadmap page.
Originally he implemented it with React and react specific deps - unfortunately we use Angular, but he quickly ported things over anyway.
Intelligence is supposedly a commodity now (lol), but deep effort & attention to detail are not. To me this just reinforces what I already believed, people who enjoy their work and put in extra effort always end up ahead.
Btw he's graduating next year and he's open to internships. Hire him before I do (seriously, i just dont have the time right now otherwise I would).
Side note: glad I waited a bit before deciding, in hindsight I was too ocd early on. There were a lot of really good designs. I gave away a total of $5k and it felt pretty good.
Will def do more contests, more than just UX
nitter.cf/xilken/status/20527412…
because i dont want to be seen as a bully, lets make this a contest
if someone can create some mocks / redesigns that I actually use I will pay you $2,500 usd
if you have the skills to then implement it in the codebase i may also hire you
like i said, the bar to make it look better is pretty low, but please don't give me slop
