@RobHoffman_ this idea aligned well with y-combinator method of building the product that user love

after 7 years and 3 profitable bootstrapped businesses I've learned: amateur founders obsess over sales pro founders obsess over retention this book is the playbook I'm using to increase retention across my three businesses this year:

@noahkagan I'm building an AI stock prediction app that help people like you trade stock better at swignal.net, I invite you to try it out. I'll list it at AppSumo once it's ready for launch

I have a friend with a $50M stock portfolio. I’m jealous of him. We’ve had roughly the same time horizon. He put his energy into picking stocks, I put mine into AppSumo and indexing on the side. His returns have absolutely crushed mine. Not even close. And every time we talk about it, the same thing happens. I get this itch. Maybe I should make some trades. Maybe I should pick a few names and try to catch up. Nothing crazy, just some moves to juice my returns. Then I actually asked him how he does it. • He calls employees of the companies he’s looking at. • He sits through earnings calls. • He uses the products at a depth most people never bother with. It’s not “read a Substack and buy the ticker.” It’s a job he treats like a job. That’s when it clicked. He’s a professional. I’m a hobbyist. And the reason my hobby trades would lose to his professional ones isn’t IQ or luck. It’s reps and time. He’s putting in the work I’m not putting in. The same is true in reverse. He could spend a year trying to compete with what we’ve built at AppSumo and he’d likely lose. Not because he’s not smart. Because I’ve spent 15 years in this seat and he hasn’t. The lesson I keep coming back to: everyone has some alpha. A thing where they’ve actually earned the edge. The trap is when you start looking sideways at someone else’s alpha and try to half-ass your way into it. That’s not investing. That’s distraction. You can be a professional stock picker and still suck. You can be a professional founder and still fail. But you have zero shot as a hobbyist trying to beat a professional at their own game. If you’re not the professional, hire one. Or just ask the people who are. Most of them will tell you exactly what they’re doing if you actually ask. Copy from the best instead of guessing on your own. So I’m back to indexing and chilling on the stock side. And spending the real reps where I actually have alpha. Running AppSumo.

@damengchen that's healthy culture

I’ve never seen this in the US, but in 🇨🇳, you’ll often see retirees singing and dancing in public.

Which stocks you own reporting this coming week? 😈😈 Say it with me

that's inspiring to watch

@tibo_maker yeah man, I don't want to kill any product even if it does not work

killing products is incredibly hard but this future version of yourself will thank you so much for doing it and saving years of your life

@HolySmokas so, you don't buy options at all?

My $3.919M portfolio ❤️

@Jason I'm in

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

@kevinxu @SteveOnSpeed move out of CA, then you'll save a lot already

@SteveOnSpeed It's only $3.8M after taxes which is impossible to support a family with kids, college, SFH mortgage, and property taxes in california for 60+ years

Respectfully, THIS is rage bait. If you can’t retire with over $10M in your 401k alone, then you have a massive spending problem.

@HolySmokas can I get your feedback on this AI stock prediction app: swignal.net

What should I make a video about today?

@ChrisCamillo @DumbMoneyTV AI predicted that Amazon stock would go up since 4/4/2026 => swignal.net/symbols/AMZN

No surprise if you’ve been watching @DumbMoneyTV Highest conviction. Biggest. Most levered trade of my life. On one of the largest companies on earth. Covered and still misunderstood by most of Wall Street. “Smart Money” isn’t dead. It never existed. $AMZN

@HolySmokas $CRM is about to go up, check this AI stock prediction swignal.net

My $3.8M portfolio. What stocks would you add or sell?

@ChrisCamillo @DumbMoneyTV I should have bought it last month

@asmartbear This is good advice, I’ve never thought of that before 👍

You sell more books if you give away its secrets during the podcast interview. You sell more designs if you give away a design system. You sell more security services if you find vulnerabilities and tell the vendor. Reciprocity works.

@garrytan I want to use it to replace my current dotnet backend for MybotChat but it does not support multi-tenancy, I'll contribute with a PR

I got inspired by Karpathy’s LLM Wiki, implemented it in my OpenClaw and then extended it with my own skills and a full Postgres pgvector implementation. Want to be one of the first to try GBrain? This is my personal opinionated version of Karpathy’s LLM Wiki on OpenClaw

@mattwelter @sergeynazarovx what platform are you using for your app?

@sergeynazarovx lol not worth it if you're doing b2b saas, stick to x/linkedin/youtube and can also do meta ads tiktok/instagram organic is 10x easier for consumer based products/apps

Is it worth trying to promote B2B SaaS on TikTok? Is there any successful case?

@paulg you are retired and not living with peace, this hatred is destroying your retirement life

Sadly, he doesn't even have this advantage, as anyone who's had small children knows. When someone is sufficiently unsophisticated, it's possible to know what they're doing even when they don't know themselves.

@DumbMoneyTV AI predicted that $AMZN is not going up tomorrow yet: swignal.net/symbols/AMZN
