8/ It's a mystery to me how we got here, and I intend to fix it. You can read foundational theses of these methodologies for free and even use in Codex / Claude Code in order to do much better product and strategy decisions github.com/zamesin/Next-M…

7/ I realized that Jobs To Be Done + a few scientific theories on how the brain reaches a goal give you an algorithm for creating value. And from that flow strategy, disruptive innovation, differentiation, and positioning.

1/ I'm obsessed with methodologies because they're the firmware your mind runs on, and they can multiply your odds of success as a founder. BUT my research keeps showing that US founders mostly don't know or use them, and honestly it stuns me.

2/ My theory: the US runs a brutal talent-filtering machine — at the VC level and at the level of who gets hired into key roles. Silicon Valley ends up with the smartest, most talented people (partly because it's just so expensive to live there). Raw talent and intelligence carry them to phenomenal results without any deep knowledge of methodology.

@MichLieben 6750

I had Claude Code read 6,750 LinkedIn posts from 25 creators who go viral consistently. It pulled out exactly why they win, across AI, sales, and content. I ran it because those same patterns are what grew my own LinkedIn account past 75K followers, and that growth is a big part of how we pushed ColdIQ past $7M ARR. I packaged the whole thing into a free guide. Inside: → the hooks, topics, and post lengths that land, and the ones that quietly kill your reach → the 3 formats sitting behind 82% of every post over 500 likes → what shifted between 2025 and 2026, so you model this year's playbook instead of last year's → my exact step-by-step to break through in your own niche → how to turn the people who engage into clients, using the cold email workflow we run Comment "6750" and I'll get it to your DMs. (You'll need to be following me so I can DM you)

@cstanley tried it 20 times

@zamesin Grok build /model

Opus may be a little better, but holy shit Grok 4.5 is so much faster and cheaper.

Nikita is a legend

EU not getting Sol 5.6 and Grok 4.5 looks loke a glimpse of a future frontier technology separation between US and EU

Can't figure out how to use Grok 4.5 in any CLI tool. Even Grok Build does not support 4.5. Do you have any ideas how to do it?

@MichaelRosmer Agreed. I believe agents have a chance to fix this "very hard to scale" problem for offline.

Very hard to scale services businesses to venture returns Services businesses are an amazing way to make a living, to have a great living even travel the world, etc. But as far as an investment goes they are rarely that. For investments investing in network style businesses remain the optimal if you can make it work. Or asset heavy businesses if you're not looking for venture style returns.

Feels like a new wave of founders is coming — ones willing to think outside the SaaS box, with a focus on real-world / R&D-heavy products. But it’ll take time to see this shift.

@MichaelRosmer And nowadays everybody can vibecode their own asana in a week. My pm just did it

I mean most SaaS never delivered on the promised margins because they didn't have a business model that enabled it. Look at guys like Asana or Monday as an example. Virtually zero marginal cost per user of the product but struggled with profitability so I don't think this is a new problem. It's more a function of the types of products they were building and the scale they were wanting to build them at

@MichaelRosmer Company task trackers is an incredibly competitive category with high complexity, long deals and strong habit
