I just hired someone from a cold email that was ex Air Force and he’s been working in the office from 7 am (maybe earlier) to now and is still going… I don’t play favorites but I have favorites
Like he was at his desk with his laptop when I got in aka 7 am lol And he’s still here with me
@lucy_guo Did they cold email you? Love it so much
@lucy_guo He’s playing first one in last one out. Go home so he can leave!
@lucy_guo Military backgrounds can certainly be high signal for grit indeed
This is cool but why is time spent working the vector that makes you impressed? In hires I’ve made professionally and across my companies, I’ve often found a strong correlation on less work + right mentality and environment (work life balance) = ultra high performance. Whereas my worst performers were often those spending tons of time making increasingly meaningless progress. I’d love your take though.
@lucy_guo 16 hours a day to build a pointless app lmaooo
