My baby sis is an aspiring photographer. I convinced her to join us on X haha.

@lenatron33 I am lowkey obsessed 🤩

@tinytechfox Wait this is ADORABLE 😂

BuildHop has officially entered its fan art era. Could not be a prouder mama.

@treejordan Them picking their tattoos

I messed up. At our YC afterparty, we offered free tattoos and said we’d be happy to interview anyone who got one. What I thought would be a fun, memorable way to meet people was, in reality, reckless, and instead came across as tying a permanent tattoo to job opportunity, which showed poor judgement. Even though participants chose their own tattoos and no one was asked to get our logo, I should have understood the pressure and power dynamic created by connecting tattoos to hiring. Regardless of said intent, turning a celebration of personalized art into a company stunt was poorly exercised judgement. We’ve taken the posts down and have spoken to everyone who participated. We’re also ready to cover associated removal costs with anyone facing any delayed regret. I’m sorry to the people we put in that position, and to everyone who expected better from me. There’s no clever explanation here. I got carried away, and I was wrong. For the facts: interviews were available to everyone regardless.

@oscargaske I respect it so much, I try with the BuildHop Bunny (Daisy) but whenever I make her look like a girl I think it's too girly and then just nope out of the entire thing

@tinytechfox I like that Inglehoff is absolutely and totally committed to the goldfish persona (seriously)

Wait my pet is so cute?!

@fitzgerald1337 Ayyyy

@buildwithmaya @thepatwalls I actually opened this email! 😂

Best email subject I have seen all week @thepatwalls really killed it with this message bc my dream has always been to build a business but once you get into the X world there are so many different ~side quests~ that come up You need to become the person who keeps going regardless of any external stuff happening

@s4rah_dev Wait this is nerdy? Fuq

Call me a nerd if you like but I’m still waving at the end of video calls 👋

@mubeenchatthaa I’d switch countries every 5 months or so and stay in lux accommodations that have a homey feel ✨ until I found where I wanted to be and then I would stay there.

If money wasn't an issue, which country would you choose to work from?

@distributedkv Context: he’s 2.5 years old and most things we ask him he answers “42”

@distributedkv Our local guru says red

what color is number 42

@init_bobjames You’re so welcome 😉

@tinytechfox this is my new mental modal thank you claire 🤗

After a lot of founder calls, I’m slowly realizing that a great 30-minute virtual conversation doesn’t happen by accident. This is the structure I’m trying to follow myself: 🤝 5 min: Get to know each other. Why are you building what you’re building? 🛠️ 15 min: Go deep on one topic. A product challenge, growth, fundraising, AI, distribution…pick one rabbit hole instead of skimming ten. ✨ 5 min: How can we help each other? Introductions, feedback, resources, ideas. 👋 5 min: Wrap up and decide if it makes sense to stay in touch. I’m still learning, but the best conversations I’ve had usually feel something like this. What does your mental model for a virtual meetup look like? ☕️

@moonfarm_dev 5 seconds later… Me: hey babe…hot dogs tonight?! @JacobCounsell: you saw another hot dog post didn’t you 🌭

New BBQ! 🥳

@moonfarm_dev I really like your rock 🪨 in the background. It looks like a great rock 😂 I’m trying to break myself of seeing a hot dog and immediately craving it.

@ldo_dev Hiiiiiiii logo lattice

Finally created the social accounts for Logo Lattice. Which means I can't hide behind "I'm still building" anymore 😅 The first thing on my marketing list is a proper motion graphic that shows the whole experience in 20–30 seconds. What else would make you stop scrolling and try a logo editor?

@andrewdsouza Boardy collecting founder programs like side quests.

Another one??
