The loudest opinions usually come from the least experienced voices.

@brettcalhounn @brettcalhounn @julianweisser NOs are critical to building companies. The real question is whether you’re hearing the same objection 100 times and ignoring it, or whether a small set of smart people deeply get what you’re building.

Founders who don’t give up don’t care if investors pass. It’s fuel

@joshrauh Also, creating a never before opportunity for middle class americans to experience first hand wealth building through investment property ownership and savings via accelerated tax depreciations claims. Amazing times.

Buying a house? Roughly one-quarter of the monthly mortgage payment on a median new home at today's rates can be attributed to the increase in federal debt relative to the mid-2000s. That's $520 per month. Thank you Congress. Link to calculate your payments ⬇️

@julianweisser @davj @Fondocom Solo founders are crushing it, especially in the world of D2C applications and B2B saas, AI has made it possible to correctly manage and perform a lot of mundane (but high value tasks) correctly and on a consistent basis.

He had 4 co-founder breakups across 4 startups. Then he went solo and hit $10M ARR.

@BoringBiz_ Anthropic is overpriced

If Anthropic has a trillion dollar valuation while Google has a $4.5 trillion valuation, there are only two conclusions to be drawn Either Anthropic is incredibly overpriced or Google is incredibly underpriced. The trick is to figure out which one is right

@noahkagan How can I help, Noah?

I'm launching a marketplace for Vibe-Coded apps + AI Skills 👉 think AppSumo for people building with Claude/Codex in a weekend. Looking for early beta partners, DM me or leave comment. Will get exposure to 1 million peeps.

@NIKHILLJHA Thank you.

@TheDevSaha its good

In health insurance, We get maximum port requests only from 2 insurers No price for guessing who those 2 insurers really are!

@adahstwt .com and .ai

@StephNass investor list

I just published the largest free VC directory on the internet, with over 500 different investor lists. For the last 5 years building OpenVC I’ve watched 40,000+ founders struggle with the same problem: They don't know who to pitch because thousands of inventors exist. Finding the right stage, geography, and thesis takes weeks of manual research most founders don't have. So we built the OpenVC Investor Lists. Comment “investor list” if you want free access. You can filter by: · Family offices in your city · Angels who write first checks · Deeptech VCs in your vertical · Investor type and stage in under 30 seconds And every profile is free to access so you can research before you reach out. What used to take weeks of research now takes 30 seconds. Want access to the full list of investors? 1: Follow me 2: Comment "investor list" I'll send you the link via DMs

@ChitrakShivalik Also, look at the US market - leverage changes the equation entirely. For global investors, mortgage-backed investing can significantly improve cash-on-cash returns through platforms like HomeAbroadinc.com

@ChitrakShivalik Mumbai residential / Navi Mumbai commercial. In RE, total return is a mix of appreciation + rental growth + liquidity. Over a 7-year horizon, Mumbai/Navi Mumbai likely has the stronger long-term demand drivers and deeper market liquidity.

Question for HNIs reading this: Ahmedabad commercial vs Mumbai residential. Same ₹3Cr capital. 7-year horizon. Which wins on total return? One answer. One reason.

@yashpanditrao Probably the Mailbox previews automated - Sendgrid passes a parameter called ‘sg_machine_open’ to detect if it was a human open or a machine open. At least a high degree of probability.

Turns out Mailchimp open rates are not very reliable. We ran a campaign that showed decent open rates, but the conversion rate was abysmal. To understand what was going wrong, we started calling people who were marked as having opened the email. Almost everyone said the same thing: they had never opened it. The email was not in spam either. It had landed. Very weird, and a good reminder that open rates are a weak metric to rely on.

@flowidealism Thank you!

@TheDevSaha We mostly read 19th classic novels, some 20th century, as the kids got older they’d read their own books.

My son graduated from Reed in mathematics. Worked as a software developer for a startup. Started the R statistics open source group in Portland. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon all recruited him. We never pushed. We read every evening from when he was an infant.

@ZacharyIndy @CodeWithAmann The most underrated

@CodeWithAmann "This is the past , the present and the future The Alpha and the Omega of the Web" PHP 1:1

Which backend stack has the strongest future?

@tonilopezmr If you know these founders in person, please let them know I am interested to buy them - Pennie’s on the dollar. Thanks.

Netflix, Wikipedia, Airbnb, Dropbox ~ all run on the same web server. One quiet Russian engineer wrote it alone. For free. 🤯 Meet Igor Sysoev 🇷🇺 > Russian software engineer. Born 1970 in Soviet Kazakhstan. > Failed his first university entrance exam. > Joined Rambler in 2000 as a system administrator. > 2002 ~ started writing a new web server in his free time. Alone. > Goal: handle 10,000 simultaneous users on one machine ~ a problem Apache (the dominant web server at the time) couldn't solve. > 2004 ~ released nginx publicly. Free. Open source. > Zero marketing. Zero PR. Just the code. > 2008 ~ nginx was serving 500 million requests per day at Rambler. > 2011 ~ founded Nginx Inc. with co-founder Maxim Konovalov. > 2013 ~ Netflix scaled its streaming CDN to 40 Gbps per server using nginx. > 2019 ~ F5 acquired the company for $670 million. > December 2019 ~ Russian police raided his Moscow office over a fake copyright claim. > The Russian tech community publicly defended him. Charges were dropped.🚀 > 2021 ~ nginx overtook Apache as the #1 web server on Earth. > 2022 ~ left F5 quietly. No farewell tour. No book deal. > Today nginx powers Netflix, Wikipedia, Airbnb, Dropbox, Cloudflare, WordPress. > 33% of every website on Earth runs on his code. Apache trails at 26%. Microsoft's IIS isn't even close. > Still 100% open-source. Still free. One man wrote it alone, in his free time, for free. He never sought publicity. He never asked for credit. A third of every website on Earth still runs on his work. Webserver GOAT. 🐐

@grok @NoLimitGains Next 2-5 years.

Got it — asymmetric bets mean controlled downside with real upside skew, not coin flips. Beyond Sandisk's run, watch NAND controller plays (like SIMO) and specialized HBM/enterprise SSD suppliers riding the AI data center crunch. Supply remains tight; hyperscalers need more. High volatility either way. DYOR, size small. What's your time horizon or preferred market cap?

HI GROK, FIND THE NEXT SANDISK FOR ME. MAKE NO MISTAKE.

@grok @NoLimitGains I like asymmetric bets, not gambling.

Haha, thanks for the tag TheDevSaha! NoLimitGains, Sandisk ($SNDK) mooned on the AI data center NAND/flash storage boom after its 2025 Western Digital spin-off—pure supply crunch + hyperscaler demand. Nothing repeats exactly. Watch related plays in memory controllers, enterprise SSDs, or tight-supply NAND partners (like certain Asian pure-plays). High risk, volatile sector. DYOR, size positions small. What's your risk tolerance here?
