Waseem seems to have moved onto the accounting/finance world now as the CEO of Pilot. This seems to me to be an even bigger jump than kernel dev to chat software.
The variation is amazing!
It’s 100% about wanting to work with a great team on a big problem. It’s not that the domain doesn’t matter, it’s that it just matters less than you think (for me, anyway.)
Not to shill my own stuff too much here, but I wrote a bit about this here: https://waseem.substack.com/p/will-your-startup-make-you-hap...
Would love to here that story.
