@hthieblot Which part of this post is “unpopular opinion”?

Unpopular opinion: If I started a company today, founders & founding employees shouldn’t fully vest in 4 years. Building a real company takes a decade. What I recommend to founders: Founders 6-year vesting, 1-year cliff Back-weighted: Year 1 — 10% Year 2 — 15% Year 3 — 15% Year 4 — 20% Year 5 — 20% Year 6 — 20% Founding Eng / Growth • 2–5%+ equity • ~$120k salary • 6-year vesting, normal weight • 1-year cliff Employees • 4-year vesting • 1-year cliff

.@cofia_ai creates AI automations that write themselves. They learn how you work, and proactively deploy tailor-made automations without you ever writing a prompt, coding, or building a workflow. Congrats on the launch, @paomartcard and @_moseswayne! ycombinator.com/launches/Pbk-c…

@solofounders Sounds good! I’d like to join

We are in the pursuit of greatness. MARTY SUPREME SCREENING. JAN 9th, EVENING. SAN FRANCISCO. Reply to attend (priority to solo founders).

@hthieblot You missed energy in the room, and chair locations ;) If you put a chair in the center of the room, then it works differently from one in the corner.

The best founder motivations: -Retire their parents/family -Deeply care about an area & want real impact in it -Prove everyone wrong (teachers, parents, bosses, investors, society) -Control their own destiny / freedom What did i miss ?

@ishaansehgal I started in 2017, and I am still not 100% ready. Good words!

I'm a founder, and yes, I'm a little delusional. Building a startup has always been on my mind, but I never felt ready. I doubted myself for so long. until I realized no one ever really has it all figured out. You either ship or you don't and I'm choosing to ship. The best founders aren't the ones with perfect plans. They're the ones who started before they were ready. The ones who built despite the self-doubt. The ones who were just delusional enough to believe it could work. Let's be delusional together.

@ishaansehgal hello

Dear builders, I want to connect with: AI founders Coding hackers YC alums Tech disruptors Product makers Voice interface designers Mobile devs Everyday engineers If that's you, say hi. Let's build smarter together.

@hthieblot Ok, Less go!

Applications are open for our next program starting Jan 12. This will be our biggest one yet.

Life's journey can be envisioned in three pivotal stages: learning, earning, and returning.

@orchidsapp I'm excited about future mobile app creators, but let me test these web apps today.

Introducing Orchids, the world's first vibe coding IDE. Orchids can build, watch, and listen on par with a human developer. Orchids ranks #1 on App Bench, the most rigorous benchmark for end-to-end software development. An agent, IDE, built-in browser, Supabase, and Stripe all in a single tool. Local, no lock in, no browser limitations - the next step forward in building with AI. Comment for 100k free credits at orchids [dot] app.

Build with Anything Max and aim for $10K MRR in the next 30 days. First person to - Hit $500 MRR - wins $20k - Get 50 paid users - wins $20k - Highest MRR after 30 days - wins $20k - Best designed app - wins $20k - Most viral app - wins $20k LFG!

Introducing Anything Max: Vibe Coding that's leaps above Lovable and Bolt We've raised money at a $100M valuation and built what we believe is the future of vibe coding. We asked 100 vibe coders to build their apps side by side on Lovable, Bolt, and Anything Max and they rated Anything Max the winner across all 3 categories - accuracy, design, and 'overall'. Here's why: • Full-stack control: Max can test backend hooks, branch database states, and debug issues, because Anything owns the full infrastructure. • Max can load up your app in its own browser and click on all buttons like a human tester to find all edge case bugs, then trace the bug across the stack - could be a frontend, backend, or a database issue (only we can do this, read #1) and autonomously fix it with 97% accuracy. Lovable and Bolt build prototypes, but Max users are building production-ready apps and already charging money for them. Blake built a gut biome app to $10K run rate Anthony built a referral tool to $20k in revenue Yuri built a suite of apps doing $40K Build your app with Max: createanything.com/max -------------------------------------------- We're hosting a $100K Hackathon to help people grow their app to $10K MRR. - We'll teach you everything we know about growing to 1M users. - You'll have 30 days to build a real product in public and get paying customers for it. If you do it well, you can start the New Year with a functioning business. Retweet and comment “LFG”, and we’ll send you a $100 discount code and the link to participate

@rakhul @WatcherGuru It doesn’t matter that it is open source, and don’t have “issuer”. The number of it is limited. That’s the main point. The power is going to those ppl or institutions or addresses who have the highest number of tokens. Who is Satoshi, answer the question?

But here’s the thing: Bitcoin’s open-source. Anyone can audit the code. Thousands of developers, researchers, and cypherpunks have dissected it for over a decade. If the CIA did create it, they accidentally gave humanity: • A global, censorship-resistant currency • A system that undermines centralized power • A way to exit the fiat trap

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson says he will not invest in Bitcoin because he believes the CIA created it.

@gregisenberg There is some proper here

somehow weekends unlock a different brain. 2 days of building on a weekend often outproduce 5 days of “work” during the week

@romanyam @romanyam, you rock here! What a pleasure, lesson, and a privilege to hear your voice in this interview! Masterclass! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Let’s keep it up to shake up the universe together!

@elonmusk @teslaownersSV Teslaxi

@teslaownersSV We are working as quickly as possible to get 100+ Teslas operating for autonomous ride-hailing (can’t use the word “taxi” or “cab” in California) in the Bay Area and allow anyone to request a ride

Tesla Robotaxi is unreal

@gregisenberg Well said, @gregisenberg ! You hit the point 🎯 I agree with your words in 100%! It’s incredible how much and fast I learned from you 🤭thank you for your work!

Today, I officially became a citizen of the USA. I’ve lived in other countries. Built companies in other ecosystems. But there’s still nothing like America. The optimism. The permission to reinvent yourself. The way people bet on ideas before they make sense. Nowadays, you can build from anywhere, but America still feels like the home court for builders. Just a feeling I have. Where ambition isn’t seen as ego. Where people want you to win. Where capital, talent, and story all collide. This country was built by people who thought they could do better. That energy is still here. Still infectious. Grateful to officially be part of it.

@genfinity @hedera @DeRecAlliance @AskPerplexity is that accurate information?

@Cointelegraph A nice idea on how to get gold from people back to the roots
