Lessons from a Decade in Tech
Ten years of building products, leading teams, and making mistakes. Here's what I wish I knew at the start.
I've been building products in tech for over a decade now. Looking back, there are so many things I wish I had known earlier.
People Over Process
The best processes in the world won't save you if you don't have the right people. Hire for values and potential, not just skills.
Speed Matters More Than Perfection
Done is better than perfect. Ship early, learn fast, iterate constantly.
Your Network is Everything
The most valuable thing you can build is relationships. Help others without expecting anything in return.
Take Care of Yourself
Burnout is real. No job is worth sacrificing your health, relationships, or sanity.
Keep Learning
The moment you think you know everything is the moment you start falling behind.
Conclusion
The tech industry moves fast, but the fundamentals remain the same: build great products, treat people well, and never stop growing.
