The Lean Startup -- An amazing book to get started. Not each and every aspect discussed in the book is applicable to tech startups, however, it provides an elightment on a few factors to take care of.

@siddharth_srivastava4 Interesting. what aspect you find was not applicable?
@hiteshjoshi @hiteshjoshi While 'The Lean Startup' provides invaluable insights into testing hypotheses and iterating quickly, it does not delve deep into the complexities of scaling the startups. For ex, while the MVP is great for initial testing, when it comes to scaling, factors like organizational structure, culture, and larger market dynamics come into play, which are not extensively covered in the book, and personally, with geographically distributed teams, it becomes paramount to have an organized system with basic processes in place from the very beginning. Though, the core philosophy of 'learn and adapt quickly' is universally valuable.
@siddharth_srivastava4 oh! I see. I think this isn't the book for organization structure or large market dynamics. However, I do feel that this one helps you create a culture which is lean but progressive. I think its really depend, if you look at startups which likes to be very lean yet distributed can use this advice a lot. There are many companies e.g. railway.app very lean , distributed yet very affective. If you look at the way they deliver, you will feel its a 100 people company atleast.

4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss
@salimlunat How are you finding it?
Launching soon!
@hiteshjoshi Finding it really insightful! Tim Ferriss offers some highly effective strategies for optimizing work-life balance, and it’s exactly what I needed.
@salimlunat okay I need not to judge a book by its cover. I think I never read it because I think in general four hours work week is little too much. Will put it on my to read list
Launching soon!
@hiteshjoshi Sure! Many people get a different idea from the title, but it offers practical advice that can be tailored to suit various schedules.
@salimlunat great read. I read it ages ago and keep seeing interest to it even today in bestsellers lists all over the globe. However, it seems a bit outdated now. What do you think?

Zero to One by Blake Masters and Peter Thiel
@radomir_djokovic @wyatt_feaster haha you must have read it when you become master of your zero to one journey. For a lot of people(like myself) this is like the initial book to get into entrepreneurship. However, after many years I still read it every year. Its fun.
@theological I didn't know there was a movie. I just looked at the screenshots, it's really creepy, but I think the book is worth it. I have already read another book from this author and I reeeeally liked it
