I'm going to get rich and this is how I’m going to do it. Part 2. Now don’t take me wrong, I’m not rich yet. But I'm closer. 4 years ago I was laid off, and this is what happened... x.com/_lhermann/stat…

I'm going to get rich and this is how I’m going to do it. Now don’t take me wrong, I’m not rich yet. I did my CS degree and worked as a software developer just like my parents expected. Every day I worked for my 80k/y startup job. Then last month I was laid off. ...

@_lhermann If you ever see me dropping the ball of quality and abandoning my product or notice any signs of it, please, let me know. We humans make mistakes. Friends help to notice.

I don’t envy at all. And I don’t judge either. But sometimes I ask myself why I don’t do it? Am I unambitious or what? My weakest character trait: I don’t start extremely ambitious risky projects where I don’t see how the dots will be connected at the end. If I were to build an AI CMO or an AI business generator, my goal would be others making money or getting real paying customers automatically. I wouldn’t sleep at night if my product didn’t deliver. I might be wrong, but learning fundamentals like economics and building a successful profitable business taught me a tough lesson: it is rarely scalable and replicable. I sincerely wish the best luck and respect people who jump without knowing if it will work eventually and try to deliver. Because maybe without such risky and bold moves, humanity wouldn’t progress.

About to hit $4.5M run rate. Still 1 founder + AI. Zero employees. Honest moment: this past week almost broke me. No one prepares you for what PMF actually feels like. Every infra partner hitting rate limits. Every bug that could happen, happened. Investors throwing big numbers at me. Customers flooding every channel. All at once. I went silent. Stopped tweeting, stopped LinkedIn, stopped podcasts, stopped growth. Just me and my AI agents, fixing things one by one. Here's what I learned: everything is solvable with AI. Every single thing. I'm building Polsia so every solopreneur gets access to the same tools keeping me alive right now. If I can survive this alone, I can package it for everyone. The future is solopreneur + AI. I'm living at the edge so you don't have to.

@DmytroKrasun Automation is good. But abdication is bad. But I trust you wouldn't do that.

@_lhermann Respect 🫡 I do want to automate certain parts. But I can’t see complete automation now. Neither, I am sure it is possible.

@T_Zahil I wouldn't either. Trust in the founder is actually more important now than before AI.

Unpopular opinion: ship fast doesn’t work anymore Building a lot of products you give up on after a few weeks is not a good idea Every product you abandon, you’re loosing trust of your customers. I personally wont buy your products if you keep building new ones all the time

@_lhermann @DmytroKrasun I'd take that bet. When AI handles my chaos, I fix details personally. That's obsessive service quality, not deterioration.

Tell me, how did Twitter turn from a great place to find a community to an absolute cesspool of brain dead engagement bait? It’s not that I don’t know, I just need to hear someone say it.

@theandreboso Maybe even just a marketing arbitrage ... only as good as people still holding on to it.

@_lhermann It used to feel like a community, now it's a marketing channel.

It turned bad when incentives changed. The moment attention became directly convertible into money, clout, reach, and leads, a lot of people stopped posting to connect and started posting to trigger. Then AI made it cheaper to flood the app, the algorithm kept rewarding strong reactions, and suddenly the people trying to build real community were sharing space with people farming outrage, vanity, and empty replies. So yes, Twitter did not become a cesspool by accident. It got optimized for extraction.

@_lhermann I’m just starting to use it again to #buildinpublic, but every time I open it up I get sucked into a brain rot hole. I generally assume everyone on any kind of social media is full of shit

I swear every single day I see posts like - "Be honest, what's your favorite tool" - "do you use X technology, Y technology", - "what's stopping you from coding like this," - "Hot take" ( and proceeds to give the most lame take I've seen. ) The only way I've got rid of them is just not replying to them at all and trying to reply to accounts that actually try to post some valuable content.

@tibo_maker What I find interesting is that YouTube, despite being the first corporate sellout and monetized, seems to have preserved its character the most.

@_lhermann the same happened for FB, Insta, Linkedin ... professionalisation of content where attention is given, people (like me btw) come to try to capture a little piece of this attention for business purposes

@_lhermann Exactly. I saw the cesspool immediately because I joined looking for specific things. You had years of watching it get worse. I skipped straight to knowing what's noise and what's not. That's the advantage of starting late. You don't have nostalgia for when it was better.

It didn't turn into anything. You just grew past needing it. When you're new, any engagement feels like community. When you know what you're doing, most of it looks like noise. The platform didn't change. Your standards did. The cesspool was always there. You just weren't looking for it before.
