> Don’t start a company

Next tweet: "Today is the best time ever to start a company. You might fail, you might succeed, it’s a crazy ride either way, and you’ll learn and grow more than at any job."

I do not fully understand but my interpretation: Try it anyway even if you are not cut out for it.

Any other interpretations?

> Don’t start a company. You aren’t cut out for it. And if I can persuade you not to start a company by saying it in this tweet, definitely don’t start a company. You’re buying the economy-sized amount of effort and pain.

It is clear that specific sequence is to test if you are founder material. If you called BS on the first tweet and read the next tweet, you at least have the right mentality.

Imagine if Jessica were to tell female founders "You shouldn't be a founder" just to test whether they were determined enough.

I hope this kind of gatekeeping eventually dies.

Or you might fail and end up bankrupt and no medical insurance and a bad debt record and dooming your family to penury.

"Cut out for it" means you have a trust fund, rich parents, no financial obligations, and/or the right connections from having the right college degree or family.
