Tech With Matteo

500 followers. I started this account to build in public and hold myself accountable. No viral posts. No shortcuts. Just showing up every day, shipping code, fixing bugs, and sharing the honest story behind it. 500 of you decided that was worth following. That means a lot. Now back to building. 🚀 #buildinpublic #indiedev #solofounder #indiehacker

@yashhq_22 thats impressive for 70 days honestly, starting with no team and just figuring it out is how you really learn what works

I’m 22. No masters. No job. No team. Just X, some AI agents, and $2.1k made in 70 days. The old playbook is dead.

@CiprianiRanieri Yes!

I ran an experiment on X this week. I posted 3 words: "Builders only. Drop your SaaS + your city." What happened next surprised me. 100+ builders replied. 60+ cities. 6 continents. From Milan to Tokyo. Lagos to Seoul. Buenos Aires to Helsinki. Solo founders, shipping products alone, from every corner of the world. So I built a world map of where we are all building from. And it got me thinking. What if there was a place where builders could: → Create a profile → Add their city and their product → Browse a live world map of founders → Find someone building in their city → Connect, collaborate, and maybe find a co-founder No LinkedIn noise. No Twitter chaos. Just builders. On a map. Finding each other. Would you use something like this? Drop a YES or NO in the comments. I read every single one.

@StratBizLab @OmriBuilds Absolutely right!

@TechWithMatteo @OmriBuilds The perfect post is just the consistent post that finally lands after 69 others

I posted on 𝕏 every day for 70 days. Results - 4.7k followers - 2.5M impressions - $8.2k+ revenue Consistency matters more than talent here.

@zuess05 I'm working with Reddit

@TechWithMatteo Here on x or Reddit?

Be brutally honest. What is your favorite way to get users for your app?

@fidexcode So true, building it is actually the easy part now especially with AI, making people care about it is where the real work starts

To build a start-up is not really hard You just want it to be successful.

@TosinOlugbenga Building GeoCam, a mobile app that adds geofencing to Blink cameras so they arm and disarm automatically when you leave or come home geocam.matteotomasini.com would love some feedback

If you're bootstrapping a startup and posting about it on X, congrats - we’re officially friends now Drop your project below for honest feedback.

@brockpierson Slowly but yes, I think the key is just being genuine and not trying too hard to go viral every single post

Has your 𝕏 account been growing?

@APompliano Point 2 is super interesting because AI is not replacing jobs but its definitely changing which ones are worth hiring for

Here are 13 things learned after making a big push to integrate AI into our companies: 1. We haven’t replaced a single external SaaS tool with something we built internally. 2. We have refrained from hiring numerous entry level jobs because AI can do the work faster/better/cheaper. 3. The automation provided by AI highlights how much time every person was wasting on tedious tasks daily. 4. Each company is capturing more revenue and each employee is becoming more productive. 5. There is still a bit of apprehension in giving agents full control of machines or systems. 6. There has been no obvious trend in age, gender, or role for those who adopt AI the fastest. More of a mindset than anything. 7. Many non-technical people have started to create software tools or products, which has changed the speed of execution across the companies. 8. One downside is the AI slop across written documents/memos. If humans don’t review the content, it is painful to read and I worry critical thinking gets lost. 9. The implementations of AI are incredible once you get them done, but it is much more difficult to build/implement than most people want to communicate online. Persistence needed! 10. We have walked away from numerous potential small acquisitions because we realized we could build the product ourselves for a fraction of the cost. 11. Our best engineers are invincible now. They produce high quality products at warp speed. Forget 10x engineers, they are 1,000x engineers now. 12. The adoption of AI starts at the top. If the company leader is not constantly asking “how do we automate this?,” it is harder to drive internal change. 13. I am personally working harder than I have in a long time and having more fun than ever. It feels like a moment in time that has to be seized. Overall, I believe AI is underestimated, not overestimated. The worries about SaaS software are probably overblown. The labor market impact is very real and only accelerating. Businesses are fundamentally changing. Start paying attention!

@Adidotdev Honestly now I just describe the bug to AI and it finds it faster than I ever could, but before that it was definitely the random fix approach lol

Developers: Be honest… How do you ACTUALLY fix bugs? • Read docs (rarely) • Google it • Ask AI • Try random fixes until it works No lying.

@CiprianiRanieri Congrats thats a big number, the best part is that every milestone feels unreal but then you just keep going and hit the next one

1500 followers! Still cannot believe it.

@ky__zo Selling two startups in 3 years is insane, learning to code and actually shipping real products that people want to buy shows you really get it

Fluar just got acquired in an all cash, 6-figure deal I built it solo for 14 months, now it’s going to an industry leading team that can really scale it this is the second startup I’ve sold since I learned to code 3 years ago life is incredible, what a time to be alive 🫡 LFGG

@averycode congrats thats a great milestone, the first 100 users are always the hardest to get so keep going

My tiny app hit 100+ users in the past month 🥹

@brockpierson thats honestly what makes the difference, small accounts need that support especially when they just starting out

Unlike other big accounts, I follow and engage with small accounts.

@romanbuildsaas talking about what you build always helps you understand your own weak spots and come up with new ideas so sharing is never a bad move

I released a free course last week breaking down our go-to-market. A lot of founders asked me why I’d give away the entire playbook. One friend even said, “You’re just helping your competitors copy you.” Here’s the truth. First, I believe the more you give, the more you get back. Always. Second, founders are part of my target audience. They’re actively looking for ways to grow their business. So by sharing everything, I’m not losing leverage, I’m attracting the exact people I want. Third, that one YouTube video is now bringing in 150+ visitors a day to our website. For free. That’s distribution. My take on “building in public” is simple: It’s only dangerous if you’re talking to the wrong audience. If you’re sharing valuable insights directly with people who could become your customers, you should do it every single time. If you’re just broadcasting to people who will never buy from you, then yes, it’s useless. I’ll drop the video in the comments.

@VadimStrizheus Claude Code for sure, been using it daily for my side projects and it really speeds up everything

As a founder, which tool are you actually using in 2026? 1. NemoClaw 2. Perplexity computer 3. MaxClaw 4. OpenClaw 5. Claude Code

@1Umairshaikh this is so real, AI lets you move so fast that if you dont use it someone else will and they will ship before you

AI won't take your job. The founder who used AI to do your job in 2 hours will.

@md_kasif_uddin Claude for coding honestly it changed the way i build my side projects completely

Which AI Tool do you use the most? (Be honest) 👀

@NaivaidyaY66600 so true the real challenge now is getting people to actually notice what you build not just building it

2010: Scarcity of builders 2025: Abundance of builders 2030: Scarcity of attention
