@shreyasico nice! what was the app idea tho? trying to understand the design choices here.

@shreyasico it's surprising to me that people still choose computer science. not saying it's going away, but the part they'll spend years mastering is the part already being automated.

asking neighbour's kid not to get into computer science is my way of giving back to society

Mark Pincus (@markpinc) says @nikitabier is one of the best examples of a person who can extract great features from terrible apps:
"You can learn so much from a failed product that has a great idea buried in it."
"The founder of TBH had that experience. He said there was an Arabic language product that was doing this honesty box."
"He was a perfect example of Proven Better New because he actually found a proven concept."
"It was buried in a very, very narrow, niche product. He said, 'Great, I'm just going to take that idea, copy it, and make it front and center.'"

BREAKING: Mark Pincus (@markpinc) on How to Build Billion-Dollar Products "Your # 1 job as a founder is to be right." "F*ck scale." "Don't be a fake CEO." Mark founded Zynga in 2007, grew FarmVille + Words With Friends to 1B+ users in 4 years, & sold the company to Take-Two for $12.7B. Before that he was an early investor in Facebook & Twitter. Across 10 companies, he's spent 30 years learning how to build products people love. Now he's put it into "Life at the Speed of Play," aka the "Product Maker Bible" His goal: something you can reread in 10 years & still use, the way he rereads Peter Thiel's Zero to One. We went deep on the framework: - Your product instinct is right ~95% of the time, but your specific idea is wrong at least 75% of the time. The whole job is separating the two & k*lling your B+ idea to find the A. - Proven Better New: copy what already works, make it objectively better, then add one new bet. - 40,000 games launched in the App Store last year. 0% held a top 25 spot. Why products win on day 365 retention, not virality.. lessons from @nikitabier & more - Why he's an AI maximalist who still calls consumer AI un-investable, & thinks today's $2-5T companies become $10-20T companies.

@sammysintech the hack is being the one human in their inbox. a voice note or a loom does more than any automated email ever will.

@catarina_chia enjoy it before claude limit resets and pulls you back in

@vaaselene yeah at the end of the day, focus on your own lane and your users.
English
honestly the best way i can explain it is asking @OpenAI codex to do design is like asking an engineer to do design 💀

@enggirlfriend age gap is maybe just a number. i'd rather see how old their mind is.

@sugarjammi selfies before the food, selfies after the food. but once the food is in, everything else is out.

@MakiHacks @nikitabier not sure it's worth it. bookmarks have always struggled with repeat usage anyway
English
ok but imagine sharing your saved folders with others AND running grok over them to brainstorm @nikitabier 👀

@erikalee i'm a very different person. i don't usually call without texting first, always want to make sure they're not busy. but i love getting calls out of the blue. it hits a different kind of dopamine, but also oxytocin for the relationship you have with them.
