The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars. https://t.co/xT2LMzVAUI

Excited to share that I was recently interviewed about @careergo_co ! In the interview, I discussed how @careergo_co is helping people create strong resumes and cover letters to land their dream jobs. I'm passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their careers, and @careergo_co is making that a reality. Make sure to check out @startupsoko on Youtube. They have lots of insights around startup and product development. I learned a lot from the stories they gave around the redesign of the LOOP App and around Africa's Talking Thank you Wangari Stewart and @blackorwa for the opportunity. Youtube link below

I rejected Stripe in 2010. No SOC 2. No PCI DSS. No ISO 27001. They wanted to process payments. They could not produce a single audit report. I told them to come back when they were compliant. They didn’t. Today they are worth billions. I still sleep at night. My Estonian portfolio company makes €400 a year. Zero compliance violations. Tell me: Who is the real winner?

@Vickyjr @infinitydigy Good old tech still works 🥲 I think openclaw was hype 🥲 Last time I dared use free credits, I got an overflow bill of 700$ had to negotiate it to 210$ was very painful paying for that bill 🙆🏿 AI projects have to pay for themselves

I spent the last few days away from work, with my family, working out, and doing normal IRL things. A few things became clear. 1. Making money was never the goal, but somewhere along the way, revenue became the score I look at. If I make $80k/month and the next month $70k, I feel bad. Nothing changes in my life; I barely spend the money, but my brain only sees the drop. I even feel uncomfortable writing this because I know how lucky that sounds. What I actually love is still going from 0 to 1: building something, shipping it, seeing it exist. 2. My 𝕏 account changed my relationship with people. I never thought it would grow past 10k followers. Back when a few hundred people followed me, I knew names, had conversations, made friends. Now there are 300k people here, my DMs never stop, and every post gets read in a way I don’t control. I feel grateful for it, but I also miss how simple it felt before. I'll spend less time trying to answer everyone, and more time having real conversations with fewer people. 3. Work follows me everywhere. Ideas, products, things to improve, things to fix. It gave me a lot, but it also sits in my head all the time. Even during a walk with my wife, part of my brain is still building something. I don’t know how to turn that off. But I don't think I want to anyway; obsession is what brought me here. I just have to live with it. I haven’t built anything in 2 weeks, and I already miss it! Maybe that’s what a break is supposed to do?

I overworked myself. For the past 5 years, I barely took a day off. I shipped 30 startups, wrote 30,000 tweets, made 70 YouTube videos, and answered thousands of support requests. The weird part is, it never felt like work. It felt like play. Until recently. For the first time in years, I’ve struggled to get things done. I don’t want to open my laptop. The things that used to make me happy suddenly feel heavy. That scares me a bit, because the playful side of work is what got me here. And right now, it feels like I lost it. So I’m taking a break. I’ll still do about an hour of maintenance work a day, but the rest of my time will go to real life. I’m training for Hyrox in Korea on May 25, so I’ll put my energy there for now and train 20 hours a week. I went through a little burnout once before, in 2021. What helped me was going back to basics: training, reading, eating well, and sleeping 8 hours. It brought the hunger back then. I trust it will again!

Someone on indie hackers analyzed 2,300 failed app launches from the last 3 years. The #1 pattern across all of them - Built for months. Launched once. Never marketed again. One founder spent 4 months building a budgeting app. Posted it on Product Hunt on launch day. Got 42 upvotes. Then went back to building features. App is dead now. I did this with 11 of my 12 failed apps. Launch day felt like the finish line. It isn't. It's just the first day anyone can say no to you. GlowUp didn't grow because of launch day. It grew because I posted on TikTok every single day for 3 months after. 2,300 failed launches and the pattern was the same in all of them. The app was never the problem. The day after launch was.

I've created an account and used it and i guess it's the thought that counts Design is shit, no dark mode , i doubt any accessibility checks were done But worst of all is it's giving unoptimized react native vibes with every interaction blocking the main thread 3/10

Twitter timeline yesterday: "Cal AI banned from app store" Twitter timeline today: "Cal AI back on app store" If you guys spent the amount of time you talk about Cal AI building your own companies, maybe you would see some results 😂

I took too long to film my Opus 4.7 video. My editor fell asleep. Should I... 1. Wait for him to wake up 2. Edit it myself 3. Try to make someone else do it for me

In competitive games there is something called the META (Most Effective Tactic Available) For indie makers it used to be "Launch a small startup on ProductHunt, build in public on X, post on IndieHacker" etc etc All of this is dead now I think. PH and X are spammed by VC bots, IH is dead, etc Of course it's still very worth doing it, but it won't give you anything meaningful compared to before Also, a "small startups" has way less value too, now that companies can make internal tools + agents. Exception if the service is critical and/or people don't want to deal with maintenance etc or the product is very technical to make. (eg: ahref has massive scrapers + database that's impossible to replicate, etc) The market changed, and we need to adapt, it's not 2016-2023 anymore Sad cause I got my first big success thanks to PH but that's the game

I'm sorry but Product Hunt is dead for indie devs This is the board today. Good luck competing with MASSIVE MULTI BILLION DOLLARS ORGS

Say what you want about Cal AI, but you can’t say we don’t push boundaries. The same risk-tolerate, fast-paced culture that may set us back a few days is the exact superpower that caused us to reach $50M ARR in 1.5 years. They will love you as an underdog and hate you as a victor.
