If you put an arm in a cast for a month, the muscle visibly shrinks. Because it is not being used, the body assumes that high-energy tissue is no longer needed. To save energy, it actively breaks the muscle down. The brain operates on the exact same principle. If you stop doing the hard work of thinking, your brain assumes you no longer need that skill. To save energy, it physically deletes the connections required for that task. Neuroscientists call this synaptic pruning. It is a biological 'use it or lose it' rule. I was experiencing this firsthand.

I'm actually tired of seeing the same 5 faces on my feed I need brothers and sisters in startups, finance, AI, trch, distribution, vibecoding, funded or bootstrapped, in nyc, sf or elsewhere to build along like this tweet, drop your startup, let's make some friends along the way.

Looking back, I can see how the outsourcing thinking to AI happened gradually: Me doing the work → chatting with AI about work Me doing the work → AI figuring out the steps for me Me doing the work → AI figuring out the steps → AI generating automation workflow code Me doing the work → AI figuring out the steps → AI writing the full agent code directly Me describing → AI writing PRDs, UI designs, visuals, and code Me describing → AI handling work, learning, travel, relationships, health Each step felt small. But by the end, I had handed over almost everything to AI which I used to do with my own mind.

People are missing a major point: Saas was: You create, Many will use What AI empowered us for: You create, Few will use Everyone will create their own version of Saas.

@anupamrjp Because everyone can build... People are missing a point: Saas was: You create, Many will use What AI empowered us for: You create, Few will use

AI has made building almost free. So why are 99% of people still not making money?

I should have stayed in agriculture, A path I choose back in 2023 It would have kept me more relevant in future... But progress in tech world is faster.

Beauty lives in the fact that things are temporary... Everything is impermanence.

Beauty exists because things end

you need to take advantage of the speed AI offers, but you must do it in a way that keeps your mind sharp.

Every App is built to remove effort, because effort makes people quit, and quitting is bad for business. Read again...

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." - F. Scott Fitzgerald Managing this tension is exactly what that looks like in the real world.

these are the two truths we have to balance: - doing the thinking yourself keeps your mind sharp, - while handing it to AI expands what you can accomplish.

One side says we should use AI because it extends what a mind can do, and they believe the worry is overblown. They are defending something real: AI truly makes a mind more capable. The other side says we should pull back, use less AI, and protect the human mind. They are also defending something real: doing the work yourself is the only way to build real judgment.

The debate about AI and human thinking has been stuck for a simple reason. Both sides treat a polarity as if it were a problem.
