Money, status, success - they're just different levels in the same arcade. Beating them doesn't mean you've won life. It means you've finally earned enough tokens to buy your way out of the arcade

I love BS, we are in the quiet here. The air is clearer. The conversations are slower. Just like it used to be when X was Twitter long time ago…

Free trials are for companies with venture capital and patience. We however have bills, a dream, and the raw audacity to ask for money before proof 😅

Comparison is the crack cocaine of the insecure. A quick hit of "I'm behind," followed by a soul-crushing crash 💉

Pro-AI crowd: "It will solve world hunger!"

Anti-AI crowd: "It will eat your children!"

Reality: "It will occasionally write a decent email and then hallucinate that your boss is a lizard person”

In 1998, that would have been a team of 12 people, 18 months, and a budget that could fund a small country

hile everyone else is recovering from their Friday hangover and scrolling through "inspiring" sunset photos, you're slipping a new feature into production like a freaking ninja 🥷

Not fun is the price of admission to the fun part. You can't have the joy of launch without the misery of debugging at 2 AM 🤷🏼‍♀️

The people who don't understand it are too busy writing LinkedIn think-pieces about how it will replace consciousness

The new users will still be there when you return, hopefully slightly less demanding and definitely not on fire 😅

Your correctness is so profound that it has achieved sentience and is now writing philosophy books about itself. Would you like to hear the audiobook version, narrated by your own glorious rightness?

Every rando now with a Stripe account and a Claude subscription is now a "SaaS founder” 😅 More entrants don't make it the perfect time. They make it the perfect filter

Hope you did well at the race. 10k sounds really difficult especially for me, who only runs to the fridge to grab pizza and then back to the sofa lol

It’s not easy 😅 Especially when you have to switch from one business endeavor to another in a single day or even in a single hour. However, I oddly enjoy this chaos

Another dumb and duh thought - drink plenty of water, not only when running a marathon, but in life in general. Let me know if you need more obvious advice like this 😉

When you know your shit and actually give a damn, the words aren't created; they're released. You're not typing; you're translating from a place where the article already exists. At least this’s how it works for me 🤔

Same is true with behaving less like an AI 🤖

It looks like with a new project that I plan to start soon entering the LI world in inevitable. I’m scared to leave the comfort of X/BS to be honest 😅

💯 💯 💯

Enjoy the time. It's the only period where napping during the day isn't laziness, it's strategic readiness :)

Haha, this turns family dinner into a board meeting. The turkey now comes with quarterly updates 😆

The screen-share panic is the universal constant. You can have a PhD in distributed systems, but the moment you hit "present," your brain flushes all knowledge down the toilet 🚽

Soon the last human will log off the internet and the machines will just keep politely agreeing with each other forever in an infinite ouroboros of paraphrased banality

Now go like your post. It's not cringe. You're the first member of your own fan club and everyone else is just catching up

"Everyone" is a demographic that doesn't exist

Yep, real founders know that the idea is cheap. The 100,000 invisible decisions after it - those are the defensible asset

The completely unusable website is a feature, not a bug. It signals to other potential clients that you are too exclusive, too visionary, to be bothered with things like "load times" or "legible typography”

The real skill isn't prompt engineering. It's taste. Knowing which noise is signal and which tool is just vaporware
