Episode notes

Exploring the foundational period of a tech startup where founders focused on coding, internal tool productization, and the pressure to innovate rapidly to attract users. The chapter emphasizes the culture of discomfort, the importance of full stack engineers with business acumen, and the significance of early employees understanding various aspects of the business for building a strong company culture.

Episode 123: On this episode, I share a recent blog post by my friend and former colleague, Tyler Denk. Tyler is the co-founder & CEO of beehiiv, a high-growth email newsletter platform. This post outlines Tyler’s philosophy on building a team and culture that allows your company to ship features at lightning speed. His insights are valuable not just for technical founders, but for any entrepreneur who wants to better empathize with engineers and product employees.
