Startup Dude

No matter how old you are. Build your own company. Go into debt if you have to.

@mehul @tferriss Thank you for your answer. Can‘t wait.

@JohnNitschke @tferriss Will have to wait till next iteration to meet EU HW requirements. 😇🥲

Has anyone used Matic (robot vacuum)? If so, from 0-10 (no 7 allowed), how strongly would you recommend and why? Thanks! 🙏

@shiri_shh Have you tried it? I did. Not the same thing at all.

People who spent $599 on a Mac Mini to run OpenClaw… now watching Base44 give you the same thing + 130 Skills for just $20/month

@mehul @tferriss When Germany? Just went to the store and wanted to buy. 😭

@tferriss Wow. I am so humbled by see responses below. But I can promise you that we are not even close to final vision of Matic. Just through OTT software updates it’s going to get better. Finally starting to push beyond what is “expected” of autonomous home robots. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

@hthieblot Nice

Only incredible founders can reply to this tweet

@thekitze thank you!

@JohnNitschke altclaw

in the first week of using openclaw i tried to make my own agent with a better ui instead of using telegram/discord i scrapped the idea because i thought "no way i can make my own" after wrestling with it for like 40 days, i'm finally making an alternative not a simpleclaw, nanoclaw, blahclaw... not even a claw, just something that works for a broad category of people without a lot of fidgeting and config sharing progress with @tinkererclub

@gregisenberg 100% agreed

you shouldn't be allowed to be a VC if you haven't worked/built a startup idk why this would be controversial

@thekitze But have you ever seen somebody using the Samsung OS from his phone?

prediction: apple is testing the waters with macos running on a phone chip future iphones will transform to macos devices when plugged in they'll do what samsung dex did 10 yrs ago and pretend it's innovative

@khoomeik @tobi It was in like 25 years ago. I tried it once. Was really annoying to wake up multiple times a day. And doesn’t work in a social live.

a few friends are trying polyphasic sleep so they can supervise their coding agents 24/7

@bryan_johnson @chamath Try also to not listen to podcasts. Its really hard in the first place. But also feels really good.

@chamath I abstained from all social media for seven days. Audio podcasts were allowed. I made one post about walking in Paris Fashion Week but didn't linger.

Finished a seven day social media fast. It feels like the most effective longevity therapy I've done. Everything got better: mood, sleep, energy, presence, judgment, relationships, and optimism. Evidence shows a seven day fast produces a reduction of anxiety (16%), depression (25%) and insomnia (15%). The effects felt bigger. Conversely, dipping back in, I can viscerally feel that my body metabolizes social media similarly to a fast food meal, corrosive relationship, hangover, and sleep deprivation. My body hates it. After the previous fasts (40/hr and 70hr), I wrote that social media is pollution.  Not a vice or guilty pleasure. It’s closer to water toxins, air pollution and microplastics. This time, the major insight was that social media is a form of intoxication. Alcohol is honest intoxication. It clearly tells you what it's taking from you. Social media on the other hand does not disclose itself as an intoxicant. It produces the sensation of being informed, engaged, and connected while quietly evacuating your capacity for depth and independent thought. You don’t feel drunk, you feel current. But evidence shows that it causes your brain to shrink. The impairment is real by you can't feel it. Making it the more dangerous type. If you haven't tried it, I strongly encourage you to try a social media fast. Even if for one day.

@thekitze 🥲

you don't need the m5 max macbook you need a marketing strategy and customers

@boxmining @openclaw But the question is not, that I do it on my personal Mac Mini. It should have its own Mac Mini. The things I would need it to do, the things are not possible on a Server. Or I'm not able to set it up right.

i don't get the deal with mac minis to run @openclaw .. you can literally get the same result with a $3 VPS server...

@BrandonButch I'm hoping for a MacMini M5. What do you think? Should I wait, or buy the M4?

New Apple products will be announced within the next few hours! What are you most excited for? #AppleLaunch

@ikhmeleff @ErnestoSOFTWARE Just curious, you read the article 2 days ago and today the app is published?

@ErnestoSOFTWARE Hi, I just want to let you know that today App Store published my first ever mobile app. I fully made it following your previous article. Thank you for the knowledge.

@thekitze I blocked him, years ago. In my point of view he is only spamming.

one more off the bucket list

@brianshinsh Great idea, the wedding season will be big!

we crossed $20k/mo in 83 days instead of everything that went right, here are the mistakes we made (so you don't make them!) : 1. During the early days, we tried too many marketing channels due to fomo. - we literally tried SEO, pSEO, meta ads, google keyword ads, tiktok video, and cold email all within 4 weeks lol - even if the channel turns out to not work, we think it's worth committing and testing for at least a month to get a good understanding of it - this is especially true because there are things you start to see the more you try and bear through it. trying is different from reading about it. 2. Don't spend more than a few days on a new feature or experiment - this pertains to both product decisions and marketing decisions - honestly i get easily excited about a new idea, and as a founder you probably do too - but it's always the same pattern again and again: i get super excited about the "next big thing", spend 2 weeks on it, and totally flunk - no matter how promising the idea seems, spend max 5 days on it to release and test. if it takes more than that, it's probably too big for experimenting. 3. Stop copying and listen - with 100% accuracy, all of the features that failed were 1) ideas that just magically came from imagination and 2) ideas that were inspired from other products - ofc inspiration is good, but you HAVE TO verify it with your users. do your users really need that feature? - keep in mind the product is for your user, not for you. if you're trying to build a serious product for a real business and not a play project, this is important - on the surface, every idea seems like a good idea. but adding a new feature = more complexity. be very strict about why that feature needs to be in your product - i think this is especially true for consumer products. simplicity is key. 4. Once you start making revenue, spend more where it's needed - 2 weeks ago, our app just flat out stopped working because our servers maxed out. CPU usage went over 100%. - it was literally 1am, users emailing us nonstop, requesting refunds. i panicked. - this was a stupid mistake. a small buffer would have saved us from a bunch of users having a bad experience these are the 4 mistakes on the top of my head but as I remember more, I'll add it to the thread

@petergyang I consider the Mac Mini M5 for my Desktop and keep the M1 Macbook Air for outside.

I want to buy a new personal MacBook Pro - I’m still on M1 😅 Apparently Apple has both M5 and M6 coming out? Do you all prefer the 14 or 16 inch? Use case is vibe coding and video editing

@ibangash_ @Devinbuild today is tomorrow, how is it going? ;)

@Devinbuild so far not even tried yet. will do tomorrow

Real talk: Is OpenClaw actually helping your business or just helping you with content?

Who is building the @openclaw SaaS version for non tech dudes? Isn't this the next iteration?

@marclou @michael_chomsky @_MaxBlade What do you think of a option to invest in startups? I would love to invest, don't need to buy the whole company.

The OpenClaw tsunami is going strong, so I built a special page for wrapper startups on TrustMRR: trustmrr.com/special-catego… Some interesting business models: - SetupClaw by @michael_chomsky: he charges $2,400 and flies to you to set up your Mac Mini - QuickClaw by @_MaxBlade: 1-click deploy, not through the web, but as an iOS app. - MissionControlAI by @pbteja1998: not one, but ten AI agents working together on OpenClaw (not listed on TrustMRR yet)
