My philosophy of writing:

• Write every day.

• Write in public to improve the quality of your thinking.

• Write for clarity, not to impress people.

• Write about your curiosities. You don’t need to be an expert.

• Write for the most intelligent person you know.

I believe that you should define total addressable market (TAM) as the revenue a company would realize if it had 100 percent share of a market it could serve *while creating shareholder value.* The last bit is really important – it's not just size, it's size while creating value.
