I run a zero-human back office. No ops team. No assistants. Just AI systems executing while I live off-grid. I built it so I could be present as a father. If you run a business and feel trapped in operations: I build systems that remove that. → adiva.uk

Why do I get so annoyed when a coding agent ends a message with "just say the word" You're my cofounder, not my servant

Only take advice from people who are actually doing what you want to do, not those who are simply projecting their own reality onto your ambitions

my way of giving back to society is asking, "what were you saying?" to someone who got interrupted while speaking.

@Ocar2z9g A bunch of us have went.

I see “Visit Rwanda” in football advertising so much and yet I don’t know a single person who has visited or even considered visiting Rwanda

I need to do this

@Chawada24 Tatoo game is 🔥

Most people don't really want total freedom in their lives and businesses. They want someone or something to blame when things go wrong. 100% freedom means accepting that everything is your fault, both good and bad, true or untrue.

whoever first decided that talking to yourself is weird was literally just a hater.

@just_chisola Not a friend! Not a friend!

I once went to groove with a friend and she left me. Like she just left and called a few minutes later saying I should meet her at Zen.....I called mans and went home. Haven't seen her since

@KasiboySA 🤣🤣 I should be feeling sorry for you, but, nooooo!

Google is fighting every final boss at once: OpenAI & Anthropic in models, Nvidia in chips, AWS & Microsoft in cloud, Meta in ads, Tesla in self-driving, Apple in phones and OS. At $4.6T, it feels weirdly undervalued.

If I got a tattoo, it would say, "Pessimists sound smart, optimists win.”

Do not hang out with losers. It is contagious.

There are two loops in every founder's head. The autism loop: run your own model to the floor, ignore consensus, hold a thesis when everyone says you're wrong. That makes conviction. The empathy loop: feel what the user feels, sense what the market wants before it has words. That makes traction. Most people crank one and starve the other. Pure conviction builds something brilliant nobody wants. Pure empathy builds consensus mush. PG put the whole job in four words: make something people want. The autism loop makes the something. The empathy loop knows it's wanted. The founder is the bridge. Most great founders show up dominant in the first loop. That's why they're contrarian enough to try at all. The work is grafting on the second. There is no place in the world that helps founders make the two loops work together to make great startups than Y Combinator. It is the most gratifying part of our work.

@KitsoThato_ Yeah, but eventually they will loose that dominance. The reason Botswana invested in the Kazungula bridge and next the Trans Kalahari rail is to avoid South Africa. Mostly the service interruptions when they have strikes

@Adivasworldd They’d beg to differ. Maybe it’s a lesson they need to learn. They’re banking on the fact that you can’t really do business in subsaharan Africa without them. Market size, liquidity and ports. They’ll be fine economically.
