Snipers, Intentionality, and Why Hardware is Hard

Today Grant reads his latest essay, this one is about building in hardware.

A very close founder friend was recently talking to me about his experience in hardware: “I bled out of my ears and eyes for 3 years. I'm never doing that again.”

That was his second startup. When I asked him what in particular made it so hard, he gave an interesting answer: you only have so many bullets in the chamber.
