📺 EP 76: skilled immigration in the US - H1bs, green cards, lotteries and caps and more w/ Deedy There are few issues Aarthi Ramamurthy and I care more about than skilled immigration, certainly few that has impacted us more personally. We have always wanted to do an episode on this and we teamed up with Deedy to do it. We really get into it all - and share our own stories. - An overview of the legal immigration system - Current issues (the lottery, GC cap) - Specific issues legal immigrants face (some heart breaking stories) - Why removing the cap is politically controversial - Current political status with Dems and Republicans. - Options for immigrant founders and employees. And much more. We plan on doing a lot more on this topic and this The Aarthi and Sriram Show ep is just the beginning.

📺: It's not often I get to start a conversation with "I used to hate you" but that's part of what makes this conversation with DHH from Aarthi Ramamurthy and me special. When you think of the last 15+ years of the internet, DHH has been a vocal and critical presence throughout. Prolific, opinionated but never quiet or afraid. And over the last few years, I've become a hardcore fan. In this we cover a lot of ground. From his "Facebook is not worth 33b" post to fighting wokeness to building companies without venture capital, winning Le Mans, Denmark, his message to Tim Cook, why he continues to use Textmate and more. But my favorite may be his focus on craft and beauty. DHH is a one of a kind and it shines through here. Enjoy! (5:07) Why I used to hate DHH/ Facebook not worth 33b (13:09) Why DHH avoided VC money (17:54) Being open about his wealth (23:08) Fighting wokeness (38:15) Craft and beauty (45:51) Learnings from racing cars (54:37) DHH’s work setup and Textmate (55:51) Le Mans and racing (1:02:45) A message for Tim Cook (1:09:00) The Denmark fairytale

The Gokul episode There are only a few people in SV who can get by on first name alone and Gokul Rajaram is one of them. From helping create Google Adsense and FB ads and then key roles at DoorDash and Square and dozens of investments, Gokul has done and seen it all. We cover it all in this episode. Lessons from Larry/Sergey/Zuck/Tony Xu. How several mid managers could feel "stuck" at late stage companies in 2024. Founder mode (duh!). I battle it out with him on titles. And more. Gokul Rajaram is a dear friend of Aarthi Ramamurthy and mine and this was one of our favorite conversations. 1:10 - Meet Gokul Rajaram, on the Mount Rushmore of Silicon Valley 8:26 - Why Gokul disagrees with Paul Graham 15:58 - What were early days at Google like? 18:58 - What makes a great CEO? 20: 42 - How to engage with high performing executives 31:30 - Fundraising advice for founders 34:13 - Gokul’s HOT take on AI startups 40:55 - Career Advice for young people 48:00 - When is the right time to start a company? 52:17 - Why titles don't matter 1:13:18 - Doordash’s secret hiring process 1:16:11 - Sriram’s favorite interview question 1:17:30 - Gokul’s advice for first time founders
