My Reddit Story: The Early Days

Editor's Notes

  1. Wasn’t going to be a lawyer
  2. The plan was pretty simple, order food from your phone. Pick it up when you get there.
  3. The plan was pretty simple, order food from your phone. Pick it up when you get there.

  5. The plan was pretty simple, order food from your phone. Pick it up when you get there.
  6. Happy alien after acquisition
  7. We’ve grown a lot since
  8. The first ppl to believe in us after our parents
  9. My team
  10. The community
  11. Choose wisely, but there’s good news, because most – if not all - of you in this room are programmers
  12. You have the power, and can learn a lot of the business side- no MBA required
  13. Don’t choose your editor by its logo alone
  14. If there’s one big disconnect between programming and non-programming cofounders
  15. It’s that a day could be spent staring at a computer screen that results in a few flashes of genius that solves a very complicated program. Like most arts, it could be a nap that inspires you.
  16. Contrast that with the non-programmer, who sees typing on a keyboard as being directly related to productivity
  17. Cannot under value cheerleading, esp given how many startups fail because they simply quit
  18. Cannot under value cheerleading, esp given how many startups fail because they simply quit
  19. But he/she has to go above and beyond. No excuse to not always be banging on the keyboard to make some small gain somewhere.
  20. Ok, well, not entirely
  21. Let’s modify that
  22. That bar has been set low (thanks, most businesses!)
  23. Think of your last customer service exp
  24. Look for these opportunities, always
  25. Something useful about twitter
  26. Great recent example of happy surprise in a mundane place
  27. Stickers!
