@theVincentQ Phenomenal talent in all of the above (recruiter)

Builders in SEA: Are we quietly becoming one of the best regions in the world to build? 🇸🇬 Singapore 🇲🇾 Malaysia 🇹🇭 Thailand 🇮🇩 Indonesia 🇻🇳 Vietnam 🇵🇭 Philiphines and maybe more… AI is lowering the cost of building. And places like Chiang Mai, Bali, KL and Da Nang make it even easier to extend your runway. Over the past week, I ended up connecting with builders from all over SEA and it feels like something interesting is happening beneath the surface. If you are building in SEA, drop: 📍 Where are you building from? 🚀 What do you build? And if you see someone interesting in the replies, feel free to connect and say hi 👋

@fortune__egg HK = 🐐

what’s the best city to visit (any country) ?

@anthonyriera Loved my time there! Great place to base yourself for a few years and September is nice because it slowly starts to cool down. Very $$$ though.

People living in Dubai, what’s your honest feedback about the city? I’m considering moving there in September.

Trimmed down on some AI subscriptions this week after a massive realisation. I’d outsourced thinking. Some context: AI - in its various forms - has become a massive part of our Tech Stack over the past three months. We’ve recently onboarded a new CRM plug-in that’s generated 4 leads in week one and I spend an embarrassing amount of time across LLMs. I can’t remember the last time I sent a longer message without WisprFlow which is basically an extension of me now 🤖 HOWEVER, I had to pull the plug this week on a couple of the bigger subscriptions. Still entirely bullish on the future and where it’s heading - just conscious I was becoming too reliant. I put something out the other week, compared it to the original and it was a complete Frankenstein. The first, unedited piece I plugged in was 1000x better. I’d hacked away, asked for various different angles and opinions and what was left wasn’t me lol. Complete waste of time. There’s no guardrails and nobody has exactly produced a recommended dosage of AI to plug in each week. It's an easy rabbit hole to fall down and a hard one to pull back. Takeaways: ↳Embrace experimentation.  ↳Also know overreliance rips originality from tone of voice.  ↳Outsource the menial not yourself. Pic: Touching grass and not looking at a screen.

@yacineMTB Hello fellow Autrepeneurs

There is an autism lottery. Either you're autistic about something totally monetarily useless like sonic speedrunning, or you are autistic about something that makes a fuck ton of money like GPU schedulers

Ok Hong Kong

@alexch3n So jealous

software engineers don't type we have foot pedals to trigger Wispr Flow now

@edgrows Make that 3901

Off to Seoul and heard the running scene is top-tier. Any recommended routes? Got the New Balance store where you can rent the gear marked down but open to others...
