Something’s wrong with @IndiGo6E. Two days. Two flights. Yesterday it was delayed by 4hrs and today it’s 2hrs. Is something going on?

Love what you guys are building at @polydotapp. I would love to take a closer and look. How can I get the code?

@hthieblot Truth. The loneliest part of founding isn't the work, it's carrying the weight silently.

If you have a founder friend, check in on them once in a while. They’re pros at pretending everything is fine for family, employees, investors, and partners. They’ll appreciate it more than you think. I’ve seen many founders burst into tears within 3 seconds of being asked.

@tibo_maker The hard part is knowing which advice to ignore. Most founders waste years following patterns that worked in completely different contexts.

most startup advice doesn't apply to you build your own story

Growing up, there was a street dog near our home. He'd bark at strangers but let kids play around him. These animals know us. They protect us. They deserve our kindness in return. #saveindiandogs

@tarunvats33 Apple Music

Which music app do you have a premium subscription for? Apple, Spotify, or YT Music

Pretty interesting problem statement. Wow - if that works.

Street dogs have been part of our neighborhoods forever. They guard our streets at night, warn us of strangers. Compassion and practicality can coexist. #saveindiandogs

Full moon nights make ordinary things look special. Last night in Varanasi proved that. #DevDeepawali

We went from trolling the women's cricket team after three losses to celebrating their World Cup. Two weeks & same people. That's the Indian audience for you. #WomensWorldCup2025

1.5 million diyas lit up Varanasi last night. #DevDeepawali

Design is perceived as just taste and aesthetics rather than complex problem-solving, making it the only field where owning the tools (Canva, Figma) feels like owning the skill. Strange, isn’t it? #design

@rrhoover Me too.

I don’t think I’ve ever looked at my Twitter bookmarks. Just me?

Well, just another day sailing.

@staysaasy Underrated strategy. Most people want to join a startup to build features, but the real promotions go to whoever fixes what's broken.

You can literally make a whole career out of being the first person at a startup to start tracking and improving and internal metric instead of just complaining about it. Incidents, support volume, cycle time…there’s somebody who gets a big promo just from being the first person to track and fix it.

@EXM7777 This is actually practical. Being a generalist with solid fundamentals beats having one deep skill when AI handles the specialists' work.

unpopular take: being average at everything might be more valuable than being excellent at one thing... in the AI era at least, here's why: AI amplifies what you already know... it doesn't replace foundational understanding > if can't code? vibe coding won't work in production > if can't write copy? AI landing page converts like shit > if you have zero sense for design? AI logos will suck so if you're exceptional at coding... you'll build exceptional SaaS with AI but if that's your only skill? you'll fail at marketing, distribution, and make $0 being average at multiple things combined with strong AI skills = more quality work than most specialists this is just a take I'm processing... might reflect differently next week, but I'm seeing this pattern everywhere the people winning aren't the deepest experts, they're competent across multiple domains and know how to direct AI in each being "jack of all trades" used to be a weakness, now it might be the ultimate advantage what's your take on this?

@pmitu So true. People obsess over logos while their product barely works.

Your logo doesn’t need a deep meaning. Your product does.

@ankurnagpal This math is eye-opening. Most founders don't understand this structure before they take VC money.

A dirty secret about venture capital most people don't understand: The actual management fees charged by VC funds is 20%, not 2% You have to pay the fee for all 10 years, even if the fund only invests for 1-2 years On a $1B fund, the fund manager makes $200M no matter what

@gdb This is the most underrated debugging technique. Sometimes stepping away and just reading helps more than any debugger.

sometimes there is no way to debug besides staring at the code until you become enlightened

@craigzLiszt Took me 2 years to learn this. The best ideas came when I wasn't thinking about the startup at all.

what most founders don’t realize is that the startup shouldn’t be your entire identity 75% - 90% of your identity is the right sweet spot counterintuitively, your startup will perform much better as a result
