Uni student building range. Coding, business, MMA, aviation — becoming capable in as many dimensions as I can. I want to travel the world, fly planes, fight, build companies, and master skills most people never touch. Becoming a polymath with intention. Documenting the journey

@pcshipp I think preference doesn't matter, whether you like it or not, building in public is the way

Which one do you prefer? - building in public - building in silent

@santoshstack Putting in a lot of work and seeing no progress for me is what hurts the most

What hurts the most as a solo founder? • No sales after months • Being ignored • Losing customers • Slow progress • Self doubt

@aryanlabde It be like that sometimes lol, you fixate on the wrong things but part of the game is recognising that and fixing it.

vibe coders will spend 6 hours perfecting a landing page for a product they’re never going to market.

@pmitu I just asked Claude what I should reply to this tweet and it said i should say this.

Don’t ruin your reputation with AI generated replies

@jackprice Hey Jack, I'm working on IOS apps at the moment

I want to connect with more founders builders vibe coders AI enthusiasts UI designers If you’re someone building with AI right now, drop it in the comments and let's connect

@amritwt based on vibes, I can say that might be true but Claude is the goat. Chat feels retarded sometimes

based on vibes I can conclude that opus 4.8 is equal to gpt 5.5 right now

Been building Steplock since December. The thing that stalled it was dumb, waiting on apple permissions but that's how it goes. one small block kills momentum, the loss spirals, and months disappear. the real skill isn't pushing hard. it's not letting the small stuff stop you. finally close now.

@ali_moiz if youre actually competitive and a top student, have internships and side projects then you will 100% be offered a job but if you do none of those then yes, your odds significantly drop. its not a market issue, its a skill issue.

Anecdotally, I'm hearing new CS grads are finding it very hard to land jobs out of college. Even from top-tier universities. Big Tech has all but stopped hiring new CS grads. AI is increasing leverage for senior, experienced developers. Anyone else seeing this?

@samuel_spitz its a buzzword that gets thrown around like the word entrepreneur or influencer.

Every rando I meet is “starting an AI company” We’re officially past the the top for being a founder Being a founder generally now means you’re unemployed

@PLBompard AI search optimisation agency

Pitch your startup - Max 5 words - Link when available 👀 Seen by 95k people last month 📈 YES, this counts as marketing - GO!

@kimmonismus chatgpt for sales and marketing is the sauce for your business.

OpenAI released prompt packs/hacks for different jobs and use-cases! You are welcome.

@FurqanR speed -> momentum and momentum in business is everything.

In the early days, the most important founder attribute is bias for action. You can almost perfectly predict a startup's trajectory by how fast founders convert new information into decisions. Learn, decide, move. The speed of that loop is the momentum you're hunting for.

@CoachDanGo agreed, if the mind is left with too much unchecked energy, it will run wild.

Intense exercise. Exhaust the body to tame the mind.

this is my favourite design feature of the site, just a looping video of a flower blooming and ascii art effect.

I’ve been experimenting with how businesses show up in AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc). Built a small landing page to explore what “AI search optimisation” could look like in practice. Would love feedback. …yle-black-friday-map-azure.vercel.app

@ItsAndraz show up day in and day out, keep going despite it looking like theres no progress and when you look back in 3 months, you wont even recognise your old self.

If you can get in shape you can build a business If you can build a business you can get in shape The process is very much the same.

@IAmPascio i agree, though sometimes it feels like i dont have anything to talk about...maybe i need to start doing more shit

Social media becomes so much more fun when you have actual results and experiences to talk about. If you're just starting out, focus on that. Growth will follow naturally.

@CoachDanGo its also fun looking strong

If I could choose one form of training for the rest of my life it would be strength training. Great for muscle, moderate cardio gains, and improved flexibility. It’s also fun being strong.

@a16z @pmarca you literally just have to keep going, whether youre winning or losing.

Marc Andreessen on why perseverance matters: @pmarca

@psomkar1 literally batman

It’s 1 AM. We’re writing code. Building products. While most are asleep, we’re investing in the future. Keep pushing. One day, all these late nights will make sense.
