got my O-1 🎉
didn’t even have to marry my cofounder
5 years ago I showed up in NYC with a backpack and a camera
now I get to stay to build @PonderStudioAI helping people make movies without spending half a million in film school
big thanks to @sampeiomichi for making the process insanely smooth! Best immigration firm there is
free food, free uber home, unlimited PTO
no shade, but most startups in nyc still end their day at 6pm.
ngmi.
what can one actually get done in 8 hours? let alone beat adobe.
the entire Ponder team works 10am–12am, 6 days a week by choice.
we're all extremely privileged to be working with world class teammates & customers.
build culture early
work/life balance is a concept invented by B players to feel better about themselves
but at the same time
no one talks about the tradeoff of having a hardcore early culture:
once the hardcore culture sets, hiring gets harder as the team becomes more selective by nature
the Ponder team works 10am–12am, 6 days a week by choice
bc we’re insanely privileged to work with world class teammates on a hard problem
but most people aren’t willing to sacrifice everything to build a generation product & win
