Atlas

My project has just reached a point where it seems I am forced to use an agentic workflow for real. I'm not sure whether I'm scared or excited. Any tips or pitfalls from my fellow builders?

@incentivising "Too much competition" is not even the right metric. If the general quality of competition is bad, then that means the bar is still low.

You must realize that there is barely any competition right now. Most people are either distracted, copy others, or don't engage in competition at all. The rest are distracted by consumerism and escapism. Yet, the average person still lies to themselves that "there is just too much competition" to avoid working hard.

@Spamfromk I've ruined my sleep schedule for less than that. 😂

Have you ever ruined your sleep schedule just to talk to someone??

@Mike_Scully_ Yes, I'm on a mission to find a new term that is not just "vibe coding." There has to be some term that indicates intelligent AI collaboration.

Most people use AI to stop thinking. I use AI to work smarter. What about you?

@Lilly7862 We often want other people's results. But we rarely want to live through what it took to get those results.

Life sometimes feels unfair. You see others succeed easily. Instead of resentment, focus on your own path. Your efforts are shaping your unique story.

@1Umairshaikh Building, but determined to get to Launching

What stage are you stuck at? - idea - Building - Launching - First user - Revenue

@CrudePaintings Finally! Something I can live up to. 😅

be weird. be delusional. be crazy.

@quotesdaily100 Honestly, solid list.

Top 10 Therapists: 1. Long walks. 2. Cold water. 3. Deep sleep. 4. Hard exercise. 5. Honest journaling. 6. Real sunlight. 7. Silence. 8. Good books. 9. Fewer people. 10. More gratitude. You don't need a diagnosis for peace.

@oye_samia No, but I delete ones that don't live up to my standards.

Do you delete posts that don’t perform well?

@ashebytes Posting for fun in a relational way just feels better.

the best creators do not feel entitled to receiving something back they create for the sake of their own enjoyment & artistic integrity. for the sake of providing value to others. & when this is your lens, everything flows so much more naturally

@Layton_Gott I don't know what I would have chosen to do if I was in your position today. Respect for making your choice and standing by it.

"How's school going?" That question hits different when you dropped out at 16… Someone asked me this tonight. I told him I'm done with school. He said "oh you're already done for the year?" I said no. I'm done forever. He laughed and made a few lighthearted jokes. But you could tell he didn't think it was smart. Honestly I've had this exact interaction dozens of times. And I never blame people for it. Society taught them one path. Get good grades. Get a degree. Get an entry level job. Work your way up slowly. Maybe by 40 you're making $75K a year and you're one of the "higher ups." Nobody teaches the other path. To discipline yourself, take responsibility, learn form your own mistakes, push to be better than everyone around you, become comfortable with the uncomfortable and build something for yourself at 16 or whatever age it may be for you. One path trades your best years for slow growth inside someone else's company. The other path trades those same years for building something that's yours. I chose the second one. Not because school is bad. But because I already know what I'm building and I see my vision clearer than ever. Build something for yourself because you can.

@TTrimoreau Build a product. It's what I love doing.

You want to make money online. No audience. No product. You can only choose one move: -Learn a skill -Start posting -Offer services -Build a product What are you doing? 👇

@tpritha03 So, I was less active than you this week, and I feel addicted to X (not in a good way). Do you set limits on yourself? Or do you just keep engaging when you feel like it?

Day 8048 of engineering 🧭 - had coffee - solved two leetcode problems - went to college - continued my web dev project - 300+ replies, 16k+ impressions Got to 3x my impressions now. 🔥

@rialocalizes @SubRosaMagick I never claimed daily usage, just that I have "used or heard" it at least once.

@AtlasRPNav @SubRosaMagick im curious under what circumstances did you use Flibbertigibbet in like daily speech😂

Be honest… does ANYONE actually use these words in real life? 🤣 Bamboozled Flabbergasted Discombobulated Shenanigans Cattywampus Lollygag Malarkey Kerfuffle Brouhaha Nincompoop Skedaddle Tomfoolery Flibbertigibbet Pumpernickel

@sanitycheck2000 @SubRosaMagick Who knows? I think it's a .gif situation

@AtlasRPNav @SubRosaMagick ahahahaa. omg. Is the g a hard g or soft?

@beyoumf Yeah, it feels compulsive sometimes. Been trying to stop.

do you talk to yourself? be honest

@wisdomXplorer I need to do so more intentionally. I've been slacking lately.

Do you pray daily?

@RealProductGirl I know you didn't. Real talk: I'm tired because I've been on X too much the past couple days. It's not easy to balance content and building. Wanted a redo on my last response, because I genuinely believe you're aiming for real talk and I wanted to rise to that standard.

@AtlasRPNav Lol!!! I'm sorry...didn't' mean it like that lol!

I just saw a comment about wanting better engagement... leave more comments... 🙄 Exactly why I'm building a builders community. That's just noise to me. I don't want empty replies. I want real talk. 💯 Fight me. 🔥

@sierracatalina What do you mean by immersion in this context?

AI in education won’t catch up. the system updates in years the technology updates in days sometimes hours. the gap keeps widening immersion is the only path forward.

That flibbertigibbet just won't shut up. You ask him about how he's doing today and he just goes on, and on, and on, and on. I mean who does he think he is just talking incessantly about whatever drivel comes into his head. I can't even get a word in edgewise, and that's not all! Wait... maybe I'm the flibbertigibbet. 😳

@AtlasRPNav @SubRosaMagick Can you use Flibbertigibbet in a sentence because that one is a mystery to me.

The more revealing data.

After a week on X, I am forced to admit to myself that I have become addicted. I need to figure out some sort of self-regulation system. Posting this as a form of accountability.
