I didn't realize how poignant of a criticism this could be. Holy hell that hit hard.
I skimmed the content (it has no immediate relevance to my life) but even the chapter headings are sloppadocious.
Not to derail your comment, but what is the purpose of prepending the word "lived" to the word "experience"? Is there experience that's not lived? It's strange to me to imply that knowledge gained from others telling you about something can be called "experience". I've seen the term pop up in particular circumstances in the last several years and it smacks to me of a dog whistle.
Also consider a phrase like “work work” versus “school work”. For someone who both works a paid job and goes to school, clarifying that they need to do “work work” makes sense.
Still while watching a loved one deal with cancer is an intense experience and gives you way more insight than you had before, but you didn’t have the lived experience of having cancer you observed someone having cancer.
If you're going to sink time into writing a book, it's worth spending some time editing it so your message gets through clearly. But that's just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
It corrects spelling errors and improves awkward wording. You can then go and choose alternative sentences or words. Just don't expect any sort of deeper intelligence.
The problem is: viewed as a one-off, it’s a gem. But put it on the AI slop conveyor many commenters here apparently are fed all day long, the voice is too similar, it seems like another chapter in that anthology.
Even early employees can early exercise and file an 83b.
This chapter is just self inflicted through bad planning, where the correct advice is to vest stock and make sure you file an 83b when you start the company.
The advice everyone should be getting here is not "don't take out a loan", but "make sure you get stock and an 83b"
