@Aru__09 But it’s not a reliable signal, people fill it with coding agents

@anonymashed_ Imo github contributions are a good signal

Resumes are ChatGPT. Cover letters are Claude. Portfolios are Cursor. Every hiring signal is noise now. How are you actually evaluating candidates?

@Aru__09 @kai_xbt I'm currently staying in Palo Alto, lol

@kai_xbt @anonymashed_ be careful 😂

Avi Patel says nobody builds real companies in SF anymore "SF is filled with striver people that only care about fundraising and not about building real businesses. All they go out and do is brag about their last valuation and then you look at their company and it's a fucking shitshow. No one knows how to build real shit in SF. I'm dead serious." "It's not what it used to be at all. Anybody that's in SF right now doesn't like it. The people who are building real companies are in Palo Alto. All the ones founding companies in SF are like striver Gen Z idiots who don't know what the fuck they're doing, have never had a girlfriend, never had a real interaction with a human being and don't have any friends."

As Naval put it, you could build an "app store" where users give a prompt and get a mini app generated on the fly. Android already enables this. Is anyone actually building it?

Production agents fail in the exact way you didn't test for. A human follows implicit context. An agent follows your spec literally. The gap between your spec and what you actually meant is where all the incidents live. What broke at yours?

Am I the only one who prefers those non-rolling leather yoga mats you see in gyms? Roll-up mats annoy me — the edges keep curling and they never sit flat. The sturdy, non-fold ones just feel way better to use. But it’s weird how hard it is to find good-quality ones online.

#economics Voluntary free trade is mutually beneficial, it increases overall wealth

Economics — My friend has higher comparative advantage than me in building startup due to my higher opportunity cost

I’m in love with Naval Ravikant! @naval

Productize Yourself

Just like how Financial Analysts value/demand changed over last few decades, same trend coming to one of the most paid professions. Software Engineers / Builders overall demand is dropping significantly. Not sure how it’s gonna affect the top talent though.

Early 20s is best age to start a startup. I wish my brain was younger :/

Building a startup involves lot of hardwork and luck. You just have to play your role. Keep working smart and hard, going by playbook, going by feeling, being critical of every decision. Left or Right?

Seems like I cannot transport Apple Studio Display via flight :/ I should have booked train instead from Delhi to Bangalore.

@IAmAaronWill This made me realise that niche and positioning have differences, I was mixing these concepts earlier

Niche down or stay broad? Irrelevant if your positioning is weak. The real issue is you're not giving someone a clear reason to choose you over the next guy. A razor sharp position beats a perfectly chosen niche every single time. Get specific about who you help.

@craigzLiszt Ragebait post? How long did it rome.ai to reach 1m ARR?

1m arr is not as hard as it sounds

@delveroin Problem!

As a founder, What would you focus on most right now? •Growth •Product •Revenue •Users •Content Let’s learn from you

@NitishaAgrawal3 AI can be builder, but as a founder, you need to figure out a problem which people face and come up with a solution for it

Can you call yourself a founder if your entire product is built by AI?

@rajshamani gem! 💎 what timeline you are in, it matters a lot

The quality of your decisions is largely determined by the quality of the information you consume.

@haha_girrrl It sounds simple, but believe me it’s not

Stripe is a multi-billion-dollar company???? a BILLION??????? dollars??????????????? for literally… moving money between APIs and charging cards????
