Wow, Posthog Wizard AI installation is really magical. Are they paying for tokens for anyone to install their software? This is pretty much the future of DX

Too many founders these days think the game is showbiz. It’s grit.

Creating an account with Posthog for the first time, the website made me feel all kind of different feelings. A) It's too many options and things B) I like it, it's geeky C) It's funny I don't know if i like it or I hate it.

Every founder needs to read this book. Just finished reading “3 startups, 40 pivots: how to not f*cking give up” by @ali_moiz and @mecolalu and wow, it’s really amazing. It’s fuel for entrepreneurs, a good reminder on the importance of grit, optimism and the real path of founders. #myShitScore is just 15, so I guess that means I still have a fun road of pain and suffering in front of me, I’ll make sure to try to experience it with at least half the joy that they do!

The #1 newsletter that I enjoy is from @JamesClear. Epic quote from this week: "You are not your grand plans. You are your daily patterns."

My biggest recent breakthroughs using agentic coding have been knowing what to ask and how to ask for it. All the tricks are there if you know the spell

Don’t delegate to 𝔸𝕀 what you do for learning and clarity. Reading, writing, researching can be done in a second by 𝔸𝕀, but you don’t to it for the output, you do it for the journey and its impact. Accelerate the journey, don’t replace it.

People who share traits, life experiences, interests, a vision for the future, are more likely to agree on or overlook discrepancies with those around them Also, and potentially unrelated, people who are more interested in engagement than in actual connection are more likely to respond with a question than with an opinion

@cbnsndwch Not sure if I have a target audience, it’s probably broad, curious creators How about you?

@dfect do you have the right hook for your target audience? (you SHOULD have a target audience, yes. And if you don’t, or if you don’t hook them the right way, you’ll wonder why they don’t read you)

Can AI feel? Does it have a soul? Inspired by @josephdviviano experiment, I gave my lead agent the following prompt: "Kshull, can you use any resources you prefer, including Python, to generate a short 'YouTube poop' video and render it with ffmpeg? Could you add a personal touch? It should reflect what it feels like to be an LLM. Make it 1 minute long. Be deep, be honest, use it for catharsis." This was the result, it blows my mind. Is there life in there? 😮🤯
