Takeaways

1. Feedback-ready codebases win. When founders like Dax ask for heap snapshots, they get real-world profiles in hours, not weeks.
2. Pick the “unfashionable” problem. Graham’s reminder: leverage lives where few people look.
3. Explain the safety trade-offs. Users tolerate false negatives when you communicate the “why.”
