    Welcome back, Sohum. Your post terrified me, but made a lot of sense. "Tactical Advice for Founders" [1] also feels on point, even though it's been a decade since. It's strange, because this time is when I could use it to study and learn things, while everyone is asleep, but it was good to read this. Yet we may not correspond too much within this temporal time slice, because the front page (or /new) looks different…
