Simeon | AI in the real world

Most people think AI has no taste. It does. It just inherits yours. My approach to building: spend an hour with Gemini on vision and tone, then have it write my Figma Make prompt. First output = final output. Stop blaming the model. Start auditing the human at the keyboard.

@kiwicopple @supabase Amazing! Congrats on the raise! I'm using Supabase for my next project, and so far it's exceeded my expectation.

Supabase has raised $500M at a $10B valuation In this round we are giving @supabase employees the opportunity to cash out 25% of their vested options. We have done this in every round since inception. We do it as a “cashless transaction” so that employees don’t need to front any cash to exercise their options. This is the friendliest way we could design it until we can offer RSUs. On top of that, we give employees a 10 year exercise window: whether they stay or leave the company. The typical/default window is 3 months. IMO, equity is earned and employees shouldn't be penalized because they don't have the cash to exercise within 3 months of leaving a job (often that's the time they need the cash/certainty the most).

@shariar_design Left for sure

Which one do you love 👀 Left or Right? 🤔

@MicroLaunchHQ I see you are solving a problem that most founders have. Get the first 100 customers.

@SIM3ONBUILDS Building platforms to distribute your apps guys. Launch, reach 30k+ makers, get users & customers microlaunch.net/premium Your launch with distribution built in 🫶

Trying this #buildinpublic 🥸 looking to #connect with other #founders, builders & growth people. particularly interested in: > Al startups > Indiehacker > Growth and marketing people Happy to share ideas on what i'm learning on AI🤖

@ZeitlightIndex nice. Great to meet you Oleg

@ZeitlightIndex when you say “l’m building” & reaching out from company X’s account, it looks like a company with many people. I’ve realised that people want to see the face behind a product. That’s the only way to sell anything. If I can do it, you can too. This is the way to #BuildInPublic

@thejeremyredman Fair but I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Your website is dope and I love the humour so much, I had to sign up.

@SIM3ONBUILDS Ahhhh idk. I mean I’m guessing not…maybe hover around 5% or so. My hope was 4-5%

Freaking 10% conversion! Kinda good for leadquest.ai

@getantstat Congrats on the launch. It will be good see the face behind “the founder of a16,000-member SEO community”. I’m sure #BuildInPublic without a face must be tough.

@SIM3ONBUILDS Hey, let’s connect I am the founder of AntStat.com

@rpdata_infer Congrats on building something. From your website, it looks like a project for Enterprise clients. Is that your plan or are you targeting solo founders.

@SIM3ONBUILDS Hey! Right in my lane 👋 Building InferReach (inferreach.com) — end-to-end data engineering for startups. Kafka, Spark, dbt, Airflow, Snowflake. Also have a free AI outreach tool for founders → inferreach.com/outreach — might be useful for your #buildinpublic journey!

@mommasboi89 great to meet your Prof. J, I look forward to seeing more of your project. Which of your projects are you most excited about right now? Will love to check it out.

@SIM3ONBUILDS Hi Simeon, would be happy to connect.

@LeeMazzone87 okay, thanks for the clarification. I think it would be great if you have that clarification on your landing page so people get it immediately as soon as they get on your page. I look forward to seeing what your project looks like once you have built it.

@SIM3ONBUILDS Appreciate you joining 👊 Just to clarify, EchoSphere is a standalone platform, not a tool for existing platforms. It’s an early-stage system we’re building where content is posted and surfaced within EchoSphere itself, with a different approach to visibility.

@ddddyland great to meet you, Dylan.

@trikcode Btw I feel the same about being on X

You basically need to be unemployed to keep up with all this AI stuff.

@trikcode Facts!!!

@LeeMazzone87 cool 😎... you've definitely touched on a pain point that I know first hand on LinkedIn. Although, it's not clear to me on the landing page how you will solve the pain but I've just joined your early access waitlist. Is this going to be just for X or all social platforms?

@SIM3ONBUILDS Nice to meet you 👋 Yes, building EchoSphere. It’s still early, but the goal is to improve how creators’ content is seen and distributed online. Curious what you think once you’ve had a look.

@OpenAGIxd hi builders

X is cool But it's even better when your timeline is full of builders. If you're into AI, startups, coding, design, SaaS, or tech in general, say hi.

@LeeMazzone87 lovely to meet you Lee. I see you're building something to help grow audience. Will love to know more; checking out your website.

@SIM3ONBUILDS Nice to meet you let's connect

@aiBottari Awesome... congrats on the launch

@SIM3ONBUILDS Hi, happy to connect! Building an AI-native workspace for builders - it turns the context scattered across your tools into one actionable memory, so intelligence runs a closed loop. 😎

@ash_twtz Because they are smart! OpenAI is burning money with a heavy token subsidy.

Why doesn't Claude Code offer a free tier like Codex does?

@ryancarson I agree with "don't build a coding agent"! The argument against it is that model providers are coming for the app layer, so you need a way to not hand them all your codebase.

Startup founders - this one’s for you

@armanzeroeight great to meet you Arman. I see you are building to solve a problem that has frustrated me for some time. I've just joined your waiting list.

@SIM3ONBUILDS hey, happy to connect. building in the devops/infra space, always good to meet founders and growth folks.
