@BrianMRey someone else building it means the idea is valid. Now it's a race. Go

@Varnika99 I have too many ideas and zero chill. so just gonna start validating them.

@Alennushkaa I feel you so hard.
This is just how I'm wired. It doesn't drain me. it feeds me. people call me a workaholic. I just call it living.

perfectionism is just procrastination with a fancy name.
i kept thinking my product wasn't ready.
one more feature. one more fix. but the real reason? i was scared of being judged.
shipping something "good enough" and getting that first brutal user reaction beats staying in your head forever.
x feels like the place to finally stop hiding. just gonna show up and see what happens!

i low key play this game where i imagine myself in a no pressure alternate reality just to check in with myself.
and every time i ask "what would i be doing if not this" i come back to the same answer that's my gut telling me i'm on the right path fr.
if someone else can't answer that or says something completely different they're probably just going through the motions and if they draw a blank they've literally never asked themselves what they want

if you want to better understand someone beyond the surface stuff, 100% ask them what they’d be doing if not x, in an alternate reality
this one question has never failed to bring meaningful conversation and insight into motivation/worldview (useful for bringing someone on a team etc).
ive noticed many people don’t have an immediate answer but hearing them walk through their reasoning is way better.

@Alennushkaa ngl you're just gonna have to trust your gut and run with it.
if you're already playing out worst case scenarios in your head nothing's ever gonna get done.
no amount of scrolling is gonna tell you what you actually want.
only you know that

@dunkhippo33 things change, your early bets will miss. good founders just rewire quick and get moving

@n0w00j reads ur user, finds what to build next, hands it to ur coding agent. loop

Tip for @speedrun applicants: I rarely see investors get excited about an "idea" for a company, at least in isolation.
The lights don't come on until they understand the founder's story. What makes this person special? How does it connect to the idea? What work have they done to explore and understand this idea more deeply than any other reasonable person would?
Even weird ideas become compelling if you believe you're talking to someone who was born to pursue it.

@linderps somehow most of them have the first two and are still working on the third
