@gaspardlezin I tried hiring a web designer sometime ago too. Same scenario. It was painful Referred a few folks via DMs you might want to consider, one was ex designer at OpenAI

I got 100+ DMs and 50+ comments on my post looking for a designer. Here's what I learned, freelancers, take notes: → 90% sent Figma links, painful to navigate as a client → 70% cold DM'd me with no portfolio, just "let's hop on a call" → 60% sent random mobile refs (food apps, fashion) when I specifically asked for a payment checkout → 50% sent AI-generated work that wasn't even polished → 20% shared a portfolio but with zero payment-related work Only 2 people stood out: @nickbakeddesign literally did the work. Built exactly what I asked for + iterations. @privetavdey didn't even send a design, just a few lines showing deep expertise in the space. That's worth more than 100 Figma links. The lesson? Don't spray and pray. Show you understand the problem. That's how you win clients.

i judge companies almost exclusively on their homepage design

@davidhoang What have you used to make this cool? Github copilot replit or else. Looks cool!

I am tool agnostic, therefore I'm making my own tools.

@victorcardenas @slashapp language you use in a startup VS when you hire your first director of hr

@slashapp The term we have typically used for this is "fail forward" instead of "retardmaxxing" but they mean the same thing: Immediately do the thing instead of think about how best to do the thing.

The only reason @slashapp has been successful is because we have exclusively hired retardmaxxers. I think we were doing like 80m in revenue when we first got a CRM. All of us just come to work and code or sell extremely aggressively every day. That's it. Over and over again.

@yongfook looks like first-class lounges in airports, love it

Excellent recommendations yesterday for places to work in Tokyo. Ended up at Share Lounge marunouchi and it’s exactly what I was looking for 👍

@samlambert @p_reynolds No way you connect libraries? How long have you been doing this (don't make it an April's fool please)

The keyboard library got a big upgrade thanks to @p_reynolds

@stevelauda_ @BreejeAnadkat designer approved

@BreejeAnadkat Wise choice of thumbnail

@peduarte Another April Fools? you look in late 20s!

thirty-seven years old today inb4 feels the same as thirty-six so far

@SpheraTimes @lewiscarhart Thank you for the shout out, Camilla!

@Dylan_txa Welcome on X! Haven't met a founder on Lisbon before

Hi, I’m Dylan. Previously, I co-founded a SaaS called Edusign. We grew it to $4M ARR before I sold my shares. I’m based in Lisbon, Portugal, and this is my first day on X. Today, I’m the co-founder and CTO of GojiberryAI, an AI GTM brain for sales teams. We were recently accepted into Y Combinator. I’ll do my best to share as much value as my co-founders @romanbuildsaas and @pierreeliottlal. Let’s see how fast we can get to $10M ARR. 🚀

@charles_maddock you can...already do that?

Split tabs! Will be adding the ability to drag-and-drop tabs to create split tabs Thoughts?

@PE_Associate Indeed, appreciate it 🫡

@SpheraTimes Venatrix looks very exciting, love it

Any investor investing in applied AI / vertical AI infra? Would love to make connections to founders building in that space

@_joe_harris_ @AlloyRobotics Was about to say "Someone should build a platform like that" and you preceded me. Up until now, I haven't yet seen someone else do what you guys do

this is why we built @AlloyRobotics

everyone says robotics needs more data. thats wrong. there's more useful robotics data sitting in S3 buckets right now than most foundation model teams have ever trained on. every robotics company that's been deploying for more than six months has the same problem. their robots generate sensor data on every single mission: IMU, camera feeds, lidar, joint states, behaviour logs. terabytes of it. real-world production data from real environments. it all goes into storage and mostly stays there. meanwhile the foundation model teams are spending millions on simulation environments and teleoperation rigs to generate training data from scratch. manufacturing the thing that production teams already have. except the production data is real. it has noise, edge cases, actual physics. but it's trapped. different sensors, different formats, different schemas, different robots. nothing is labelled, nothing is standardised, nothing is searchable. to actually use any of it you'd need to normalise it, time-align it, index it, make it queryable, embedded. the data bottleneck in robotics isn't scarcity. it's accessibility. the data is there. nobody can use it, fast, when they need it.

@bgadoci Great article. Companies are moving from standalone LLM chatbots to having their own operating systems around it, usually built by third-party companies like Harvey for legal or Epic Systems for medical. Lots of opportunity to restructure into AI-first infrastructure

We've written 20 custom AI skills for our workflow. Most organizations haven't written one. The gap between "using AI" and "building institutional AI capability" is widening every week. The companies starting now will have a compounding advantage. gadociconsulting.com/articles/skill…

@ivanburazin nope, I switched from chatgpt -> Claude for both. Now I only use GPT for low-output tasks

Has anyone noticed how we unanimously prefer Claude for work and instinctively switch to ChatGPT for analyzing blood work or making a diet plan?

When it comes to tech sales, probably the worst place to work is mid-market companies, comp & performance-wise. Startups are aggressive and aim high, so they offer more competitive comp + full-benefits coverage (generally). Enterprise wants the best of the best and will cover visa sponsorship on top of comp and benefits. Mid-market just wants to last a long time so they'll mention 100K salary that's a "base + comp", which eventually boils down to 60k + 40k bonus if you exceed quota.

Tech sales may be the most underrated career path: -$100k+ in year one -Equity upside ~30-35 hour weeks -40 days PTO -Fully remote, with travel -Working on cutting edge AI tech Not saying it’s easy…but you want to break in? I'm sharing exactly how + other tips here:

@Bencera I read that "stop protecting people, start harming them" and got confused for a second

AI won’t replace workers. It’ll turn them into founders. Stop protecting people. Start arming them.
