@Dearme2_ Sir this is a billionaire's house.

Only future $ millionaires can like this post.

@HumansNoContext Fixed it. You're welcome！

What would you use this space for?

@ayaboch beautiful! can you even be stressed living here

this is where I’m posting from

@BrianMRey someone else building it means the idea is valid. Now it's a race. Go

Hey devs, I’m building a SaaS… but I just found out someone else is building the same thing. Should I quit?

@Varnika99 I have too many ideas and zero chill. so just gonna start validating them.

what made you start building on your own? not the startup story version. the real one. mine: I couldn't stand building someone else's vision on someone else's deadline anymore. 👇what was yours?

I'm actually doing it. building an AI tool for PMs. Best way I can describe it is Cursor for product managers. still just a UI rn but I'm shipping this. gonna document everything.

@Alennushkaa I feel you so hard. This is just how I'm wired. It doesn't drain me. it feeds me. people call me a workaholic. I just call it living.

This is just my nature that my work, and my own projects related to my different interests, are my life. I don’t separate life from them, and I think about them when I’m in the shower. I’ve always been like this, and it’s impossible for me to imagine it any other way.

@sandislonjsak The simpler, the truer.

Why do people still want to cram everything into one app?

Why does every app need to do everything?

Why not build a simple app and just leave it?

Consider it finished when it has 2-3 features.

Too few people do this.

Apps have become too much lately.

perfectionism is just procrastination with a fancy name. i kept thinking my product wasn't ready. one more feature. one more fix. but the real reason? i was scared of being judged. shipping something "good enough" and getting that first brutal user reaction beats staying in your head forever. x feels like the place to finally stop hiding. just gonna show up and see what happens！

i low key play this game where i imagine myself in a no pressure alternate reality just to check in with myself. and every time i ask "what would i be doing if not this" i come back to the same answer that's my gut telling me i'm on the right path fr. if someone else can't answer that or says something completely different they're probably just going through the motions and if they draw a blank they've literally never asked themselves what they want

if you want to better understand someone beyond the surface stuff, 100% ask them what they’d be doing if not x, in an alternate reality this one question has never failed to bring meaningful conversation and insight into motivation/worldview (useful for bringing someone on a team etc). ive noticed many people don’t have an immediate answer but hearing them walk through their reasoning is way better.

@JakeRammos i got food

3 words better than ‘’i love you’’

@RaminNasibov that dude is just real no cap

I saw a guy at coffeeshop today. No iPhone. No laptop. No tablet. Just sitting there. Drinking his coffee.

@Alennushkaa ngl you're just gonna have to trust your gut and run with it. if you're already playing out worst case scenarios in your head nothing's ever gonna get done. no amount of scrolling is gonna tell you what you actually want. only you know that

From what I read and watch online, I could change my mind 4 times a day if it’s worth pursuing a career in tech 😄

@dunkhippo33 things change, your early bets will miss. good founders just rewire quick and get moving

From having invested in about 1,000 startups, there are so many important traits to have in a founding team, everything from ability to hire well to being scrappy and doing a lot with very little. But if I had to pick one trait above all else, it is the ability to learn quickly.

@n0w00j reads ur user, finds what to build next, hands it to ur coding agent. loop

@yiyangleex wtf is a cursor for pm

God is an LLM

@pmitu step 1: get the $1M

What would you do if you had $1M?

@RKRigney @speedrun this is why a great pitch deck from the wrong person does nothing and a napkin sketch from the right person gets funded in the same meeting

Tip for @speedrun applicants: I rarely see investors get excited about an "idea" for a company, at least in isolation. The lights don't come on until they understand the founder's story. What makes this person special? How does it connect to the idea? What work have they done to explore and understand this idea more deeply than any other reasonable person would? Even weird ideas become compelling if you believe you're talking to someone who was born to pursue it.

@linderps somehow most of them have the first two and are still working on the third

every man in sf has either a phd, a startup, or a girlfriend
