@chrishlad How many times did you pivot positioning/ messaging before finding PMF OR did you only focus on the product? Asking for a friend. 👉👈

All post PMF startup advice boils down to “hire people better than you”. Simple but not easy.

@zachtratar A McDonald’s medium fry is $4.99, what could possibly be more of a doomsday scenario?

I hate to say it, and I'm still developing my thinking around the concept, but I'm growing in concern over a real AI doomsday scenario. It's still unlikely, but there are many things lining up that increase the incentives/chance of it happening. I'll write something up soon...

Help. I’m in a relationship with someone who has ADHD and I’m honestly so confused. He disappears when things get overwhelming, like just stops replying for days. Then comes back saying he “shut down.” Is this actually an ADHD thing or am I being ignored?

@jaredsuniverse Distribution is much harder in practice. 100x the competition with AI. Enterprises are rebuilding tools in-house. VPs and CSuites are bombarded from staff and external product pitches.

@karomancer It’s because the primary driver of interaction is to show off meaningless badges to feel accomplished.

God I hate LinkedIn. Everytime I log in I feel a bit of my soul leave my body. Does anyone actually enjoy using it? It's everyone just faking it while crying behind their screens?

@yashhq_22 If you can get distribution, you litteraly do not need a VC for 80-90% of SaaS AI startups.

You don’t need funding to scale any more. AI agents + claude + distribution on X is the new seed round. That’s all you need to get you started.

Heard from a prominent VC a few weeks back: We invest in three types of founders: 1. They have a chip on their shoulder 2. They’re delusional 3. They’re autistic Never felt so bad for my funded homies.

I'm pro-entrepreneurship, and not afraid to say it. It's one of the few legal wealth creation tools available to people without a head start.

Working is exhausting in the post AI world. The promise of AI has been the exact opposite of what the labs are saying. Most people I know are working til 2, 3, 4am.
