Hi, I'm Andy Gao. Welcome to my public notebook.

The notes you find here are of my own opinion on a wide array of topics.

This page is also an experiment of mapping out my thoughts and see how they are connected to each other.

Under each page, you will see a "Mentioned in" box whenever I reference a specific note in one of my other notes.

This site is still very raw and will most likely be updated in the near future.

Here are some recent notes:

• The Internet Huckster mindset is a poor-long term strategy for growth
• Feedback is essential for growth
• Default to writing Evergreen content
• Competitive spirals are an attribution to a Trend Mindset
• Compelling writing expresses big ideas with as few words as possible
• Constraints lead to freedom
• Systems with human centered designs are more efficient
• Memory is a trade off between accuracy and speed
• Keep things as simple as possible
• Mastering Product and Media leverage is where new fortunes are made
• Sharing establishes credibility
• Projects are absolutely essential to learning
• Side hustles are not startups
