@birdabo $50M revenue per employee is insane for context: - Apple: $2.4M - Google: $1.5M - most startups: <$200K Valve's secret? tiny team, own distribution (Steam), and they ship when it's actually ready no shareholders breathing down your neck changes everything

How is @ZeptoNow still in business? Every single order feels like a gamble. Even near their BLR HQ, they can’t deliver on time. Consistently terrible service. Deleting the app.. done wasting my time.

@tanyarajhans7 @NayakSatya_SG Companies will keep doing it no matter what —there’s always a surplus of students willing / forced to accept the low pay.

@amritwt @tanyarajhans7 How the fuck is it “great” for a city like Blr?

@tanyarajhans7 for an internship in india, its great honestly

@priymrj @TheVijayMallya Can you invite me as well? 😋

Dear @TheVijayMallya I'm a founder from Bangalore having my birthday on March 23rd. I want to throw a birthday party the city hasn't seen in a while and bring back the good times, Bangalore needs that energy back. Can I rent Kingfisher Villa for one night? Dead serious. Will pay. Name your price. Or point me to whoever owns it now.

India just blocked access to Supabase and Firebase. Thousands of apps. Startups. Student projects. Production systems. All suddenly at risk. No clear communication. No technical transition plan. No consideration for the developers building on top of these services. An entire ecosystem disrupted overnight . When infrastructure platforms are blocked without understanding downstream impact, it’s not just companies that suffer it’s builders, founders and users across the country. India can’t aim to be a global tech powerhouse while pulling the ground from under its own developers.

tap for a surprise

$ 10 billion spent in 1 week by RBI to stop the slide of the rupee against the USD. To understand how big it is, Sri Lanka defaulted on debt of USD 8.2 billion that plunged the country into a financial crisis. This model is unsustainable. FX reserves are not forever.

It’s almost like earth was perfectly created for human beings, literally water falls from the sky and food grows on trees, but somehow we find ourselves trapped in a machine that requires credit scores and a 40 hour work week for existence.

Someone just said it

>Votes for incompetent, communal governments which values religion over development > Makes dosa idly sambar chutney jokes all their life > watch your region decline and become unliveable >Then migrate to the same south you mocked all your life > Again votes for the same incompetence from here. No learning curve, no accountability, just exporting failures like a personality trait.

Leadership across companies expects AI to magically cut time-to-ship in half. Yes, AI can help engineers code faster. But coding was never the bottleneck. The real drag is non-tech stuff - planning, periodic status updates, cross-team coordination, unclear requirements, stakeholder alignment, reviews, approvals, handoffs, deployment cycles, and on-call rotations. Cumulatively, that's ~80% of the work. Optimizing the remaining ~20% cannot produce a 50% reduction. If leaders really want to see gains, they should focus less on coding velocity and more on eliminating process friction.

28 deliveries. 15 hours of relentless work. ₹763 earned. This is not a “gig economy success story”. This is systemic exploitation hidden behind apps & algorithms. I raised this issue in Parliament recently. Low pay, crushing targets, no job security, no dignity for gig workers. This Blinkit case only confirms what millions live every day. India cannot build a digital economy on the backs of underpaid, overworked human beings. Fair wages, humane hours and social security for gig workers are non-negotiable.

Day in life of BLR tech bro - wake up check sleep score - go to cubbon and mark it on strava - drink protein and immediately tweet “early morning grindset" with apple ecosystem in picture - replies to 5 girls and swipes on 200 - say "AI" 19360 times a day - tweet “bangalore traffic is killing productivity. - tweet "girls get more clout so unfair" to get clout -sleep

@workslikejenga You gotta admire the founders who looked at a toilet emoji and thought "Global network effect, viral social loop, probably SaaS exit within 6 months." Honestly, this is more impressive than half the productivity apps I see shipped

7M people downloaded a POOP MAP. Ladies & gentlemen, your app idea isn’t dumb, you are that dumb mf who wants to build an iOS app to colonize mars.

@MengTo The design ratios section spending 50% of time on colors/typography/spacing is the overlooked hero. Most "AI-generated" designs look generic because they skip this rigor. You basically taught Gemini to think like a designer with actual taste

How I created these landing pages with Gemini 3 from start to finish First, I start with the hero section. It includes the nav bar, eyebrow, headline, subheadline, cta, social proof and visual. I spend 50% of the time here because it sets the colors, typography, spacing, which AI uses for the rest of the site consistently. “Create the hero section for my {app} called {name} in the style of {reference_site}”. Pro tip: use a screenshot and you’ll get way better results. Let’s get into the details. For icons, I prompt: “Use Iconify {icon set name}”. Most people use Lucide, but there are hundreds of open-source sets on Iconify like Solar, HeroIcons, Iconoir, Phosphor, etc. Just need to mention in the prompt. Same for custom fonts. For the animation, I prompt: “Animate fade in, slide in, blur in, element by element. Use 'both' instead of 'forwards'. Don't use opacity 0.”. This creates a subtle intro animation the first time users land on your page. Gemini 3 is an excellent animator. For example, I created the beam animation with this prompt: “Add noodles that connect and beam animate into the right circle. Add subtle details to the right beam animation circle with sonar and decorations.” For background animation, I use Unicorn Studio. Remix one of their templates and watch people click on your cover like crazy. What can I say, people love lasers. In the hero or right below it, social proof is super important. You can put ratings or logos, or both. For logos, you can prompt: “Animate the logos with marquee animation looping infinitely using duplicated items and alpha mask.”. Now the CTA. AI always creates basic buttons, which is fine 99% of the time. But Gemini 3 now sets a high bar for baseline design, so you will need to stand out. That’s why I put the extra human touch on animations and lickable buttons. I suggest browsing UIVerse and Codepen for buttons and reference the code in your prompt: “Change main button {code} and secondary button {code}. Add a 1px border beam animation around the pill-shaped main button on hover.”. Once you’re happy with the hero, you’ll want to craft new sections based on your business. Features, action plan, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, CTA and footer are the popular ones. Insert a screenshot and prompt “Adapt a new section, change texts, names and numbers”. Gemini 3 is very smart. It reads your existing styles and site concept and will tastefully mold new designs to fit perfectly into your current site. Finally, repeat the same prompts for icons, buttons and animations. Use midjourney images and remix using Nano Banana Pro. Ask ChatGPT to come up with better headlines, features, ctas, etc. Don’t skip the human part, this is where you’re irreplaceable. Start prompting top-tier landing pages and watch your numbers grow.

@shiri_shh @nikitabier The "did you get my message?" anxiety is real. You end up double/triple messaging everywhere else because X DMs feel like a black hole. Nothing says "ship early" like messaging infrastructure that makes you feel like you're debugging packets 😅

x dms are so broken rn half the msgs don’t show up or come super late some don’t even send on either side or don’t sync with the chat at all pls fix this @nikitabier

@filippkowalski The indie app renaissance is real. Someone building thoughtfully with polished UI/UX + good core loop + reasonable monetization will absolutely outcompete bloated corporate alternatives. These success stories are the blueprint

I really like this app concept I first saw their ad on Instagram I think $30k est rev with 20k downloads

@agazdecki The instruction manual is written in real-time by passengers while the plane is already falling. Also the manual is in a language you're actively learning as you read it

How it feels to be a founder:

@illyism The multiplier column is doing heavy lifting here. That's the difference between a "failed startup I learned from" story and a "I made enough to take a real break" moment. 219.83x average is genuinely insane if it's real 👀

Total startups: 95 👀 Average multiplier: 219.83x 💀💀💀 Get the full Google sheet in the comments 👇

@jacobrodri_ The genius move: instead of just "track your habits", you gamified accountability itself. Now people are grinding habits not for health but because they can't let Flamoro down 💀 That's the real product.

Day 3 vibecoding an app where your creature levels up for every day you stick to your habit → I’m almost done with the onboarding and this is the screen where you pick your first creature (first habit) Nanobanana is by far the best AI for creating assets btw
