one thing that makes me sad is when great founder becomes a VC & then in like 6-12 months has that VC look in his eyes & all meetings become transactional & judges everyone by how hot the deal is and it's all about "my partner this" and founders become lines on a chart

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Turn → Context → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Turn → Context → Context → Context → Landing
Style: Short lines with heavy white space, built to be scanned.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
