For every startup advice, there is another equal and opposite advice making it difficult to make decisions. Being in startup space for more than a decade now, I have realised that to understand the advice, one needs to understand the context in which the advice is being given and develop your own world view. And one of the best ways to do it to be aware of the various situations, develop mental models and apply them suitably. Over years, I have come across a lot of content which has helped me in building exactly this type of understanding. Below, I am sharing this curated content. Hope you find it useful.
