@Nick_Davidov They 'can't find ideal people'. Too much preferences, expectations, and risks. And they want to find everything out on a 30min call. A simple fixed-pay contract for 1w or 1mo is the only way to break that wall. Or get hired through connections. I don't know other ways.

A lot of (experienced) people I spoke to can’t find jobs. Every founder I spoke to is hiring aggressively but can’t find people. So who’s been hired the most in Q1? Recruiters.

@runaway_vol …and leave feedback on app store, and on Reddit, and promote everywhere.

startup idea: ai bots that will use your vibecoded apps

Maybe it’s better not to open the stock market on Monday. Let’s wait a couple of weeks.

Negative feedback is actually positive feedback because revealing and fixing it leads to a positive outcome

@JeremieLasnier They hate no feedback

Designers don’t hate feedback. They hate vague feedback.

@TimJayas Designers, already

Who gets replaced by AI first? - Marketers - Developers

@andreijikh We all know you used AI to fill it.

Just filed taxes. It feels uneasy knowing where that money is going and how it's going to be spent. Anyone else?

@sidebusiness Validated?

Today, I’m launching a new small SaaS. It allows people to generate revenue by finding clients interested in sponsored articles on Google News sites. We’re reinventing affiliate marketing. Not by pushing random products. But by selling real visibility. Branding. SEO power. LLM exposure. Everyone wants distribution. Very few control it. This SaaS connects the dots. And yes… it’s always fun launching this kind of project. All of this thanks to…

@JeremieLasnier Well, at least they have users. Everything else can be fixed.

Perfect figma file → developer builds it exactly → product ships → users confused What happened? Nobody asked if users would understand it. Design reviews focus on "does this look good?" Wrong question. Right question: "will users know what to do?" Looks come last. clarity comes first.

@tonydbui You sure? Look at how many ppl are struggling on Reddit and X with those mobile apps.

I will start learning how to build a mobile app, something I've always wanted to do but have been avoiding.

@edsuh @Nick_Davidov Then we have to ask people from VC what they think.

People who know nothing about VC, think it's very hard to succeed in VC. People who know a little about VC, think it's very easy to succeed in VC. People who know a lot about VC, think it's very hard to succeed in VC.

@darylginn In US, do companies/recruiters value designers with coding skills (SwiftUI, React, Flutter etc.) and how does it impact hiring in reality?

@auren What about CA taxes? Who can share briefly please? I know I can ask Grok or GPT, but I have so much AI daily. Just want to read comments of real people.

am going to SF next week and reached out to 9 people that i had not seen in a while. 6 of the 9 have recently moved out of CA due to tax implications had heard the rumors that people were leaving but now it really sinking in

They can’t filter out skilled people properly. America needs skilled immigration for sure, but it gets also non-skilled (maybe 90%+ of them). Plus, the US companies will cover all additional taxes for the most top skilled anyway (+$100K easy or work from abroad) what means US market won’t lose those smart guys.

we've been told DHS will crack down on illegal immigration, but there are *fewer* deportations under current administration than during Obama years. Instead we've got a crack down on H1B and O1, and a freeze on immigrant visas from 74 countries. Come on, skilled immigration is what built this country.

@kelly_loula Yep

@hereische Like having a physical book with your hone hidden inside?

There are 3 types of reading. 1. Reading for pleasure 2. Reading for general knowledge 3. Reading to answer a specific question Each has its own result: 1. Relax and refresh 2. Expand the mind 3. Get unstuck

@Nick_Davidov I did it all the time. Iphone helps. This is the only way to be distracted from ‘oh, this 1 min is gonna last forever’

My 8 year old and I tried a challenge where you can only watch reels/shorts while standing in a plank. Unexpected outcome - all reels suddenly become MUCH less interesting and funny.

@gerikov_dev @aitordri Ah, you stole my comment.

@aitordri Use X instead

twitter is fucking slow today
