Hi, I’m Elly. Glad you’re here. I think anyone can be a builder now. I’ve been building for years, and AI changed what’s possible. but somehow it’s still too hard for most people to actually use. That gap bothers me, so I started building something to close it. I’m also a lawyer so I help with the part most of us would rather not deal with: the legal side of AI & crypto. I translate it into something you can actually use. I build every day, get stuck a lot, and write about all of it. the building, the legal stuff, the messy parts in between. Are you building something too? Glad to have you here

@KevinSzabo14 dignity is the right word for this. behind the calm is a lot of weight ,responsibility, worry, the quiet carrying of it all. it’s lonely. but there’s something honorable in it.

Bro. Never look desperate. Remain calm during hard times. Part of being a man is staying relaxed so that your loved ones don’t have to be afraid. Understand it's just your time to suffer. Like every great man before you.

@andywergedal agree. “debt” is the right word. the longer you delay, the heavier it pulls and the interest never stops.

The silence feels like peace. It is not peace. It is debt. Every day you delay, the cost compounds. The underperformer stays. The tension festers. The model keeps burning cash.

@andywergedal True. Intuition is just your subconscious signaling from experience.

The things I know in my gut in the first conversation are almost always right. I need to stop overriding them. You probably do too.

Twitter is cool. But it’s 100x better when your timeline is full with people who code and build things. I need to connect with more founders and tech people. If you’re into Tech, AI, Startups, Design, web dev, SaaS, or programming, say hi.

7 concept tests in 2 months almost broke me. here’s the one ritual that kept me sane.

@kzitouni1 agree. it’s like surfing. you ease off when you need to, push when it counts. find your balance when the wave demands it, enjoy the thrill when it’s there.

The only way to win as a founder is if you optimize your business for 3 things - fun - profit - seasonality This way you're not playing the game on hard mode. Highly rec.

how founders keep their head through endless problems: schedule 10 minutes a day for metacognition. step out of everything you’re focused on. zoom out. picture watching yourself from above the chair you’re in. think of it like an RPG. you’re the character. you can see your stats. your current state. what you’re putting points into. 10 minutes a day. the problems stop running you.

Nobody talks about how lonely building a SaaS can be. As a solo founder, isolation almost killed my momentum. Then I realized that the right community compresses years of learning into months. Sharing failures > pretending you have it figured out. What helps you stay motivated while building?

@siddharthwv the last line is the whole thing. i do 10 minutes of this every morning. it’s the difference between running your day and your day running you.

I'm a simple man. This is what my ideal life looks like: Up early. Make wifi money. Work less, earn more. Earn with your mind, not your time. Walk 10k steps/day. No scrolling. No Netflix. Never watch the news. Play a sport, don't watch it. Make $ 10k-15k/month. Say no to bad clients. Only work with people who match my vibe. Be limitless. Observe your thoughts, don't become them.

@harry_ngala10 agree. the first move is the hard part. after that, momentum does the work.

Small actions remove the pressure. When everything feels overwhelming, shrink the task. Send the email. Write the paragraph. Make the call. One action breaks the inertia and momentum builds from there.

Break your work into smaller tasks. It makes progress feel faster.

@ItsKieranDrew especially. trust might be the hardest thing to build in this era. everything rewards speed now quick takes, quick conclusions. but trust doesn’t move at that speed. it needs time. patience. the slow things.

10 hot takes about writing online in 2026: 1. The people who tell you writing online is easy started when it was easy. It is much harder now. But it is still 100% worth it. 2. AI will filter out those who are serious and those who aren’t. Most people who use it to write will quit when they realise readers don’t want AI-generated crap. 3. Your ideas don’t suck. Your packaging does. 4. If it isn’t polarising, personal, or practical, it isn’t worth posting. 5. Anyone who tells you the ‘secret’ to social media growth is to write about famous people (and pay for engagement) is an idiot. Not all attention is created equal. 6. Relationships are more important than reach. Trust is more important than traffic. Reputation is more important than revenue. Keep these three things front of mind, and you will go far. 7. Competition is an illusion. In the next 3 years, 50% will quit. 40% won’t take it seriously enough. You’re in the top 10%—you just don’t know it. 8. Video content is becoming more popular. But smart people will always read. Writing isn’t dying—your audience is becoming less dumb. 9. 97% of accounts that talk about ‘the power of storytelling’ couldn’t tell a story to a toddler at a campfire. 10. Most accounts that ‘crack the viral code’ end up building prisons for themselves. I’ve spoken to many. They don’t know what or how to monetize. They wish they were writing something of substance. Stop idolising, start creating stuff you genuinely enjoy.
