The “BUILD IN PUBLIC” model is mostly founders marketing to other founders. It's like a tribe building a community not a customer base. You spend months building something cool, post the journey, get 500 likes from people who also build products… and still have no traction..

6 startups in. One sold for $14M and I still got shortchanged. I was naive and got played. Don’t count on getting rich. Don't accept low salary for stock options. Understand how dilution works, how it affects your options. And ask how dilution works before you sign.

.. The future? A single, unified harness that links them all together. Whoever builds that master layer is going to print absolute money. 💰

Build in public if you enjoy it. But if you want revenue? Market early. Sell early. And stop confusing attention from builders with demand from buyers.

SoHo, the loft scene—none of that came from finance bros. It came from broke artists and working-class people having cheap rent, cheap space, and enough freedom to make weird shit.

Referring To Romantic Relationship as a "Partner" is Not a Healthy Start IMO, it’s a safety blanket. People using such jargon because "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" requires actual vulnerability. If you're terrified of real commitment to even label it right, why even get involved🤷‍♂️

@Tesla reaffirmed its aggressive $25B+ 2026 CapEx plan, and the stock sold off. Meta raised the lower end of its CapEx outlook, and its stock also fell..

THIS SUGGESTS THE MARKET ISN'T SIMPLY REWARDING COMPANIES THAT SPEND MORE ON AI. Investors care more about capital efficiency than capital intensity. It's no longer "Who spends the most?" It's "Who can generate the highest returns from every dollar invested.

As a dev, I don't just seek answers. I first assess what I know and write from that. Then I ask how to improve or resolve syntax hurdles. Thinking WITH AI, not letting it think FOR you, cultivates true problem-solving and growth in coding.

I feel like there is a quiet intimacy in never speaking to your ex again. You're both carrying the same memories, unspoken and untouched sealed like a time capsule that you both shared.

The reality is that AI models have nearly maxed out on both probabilistic and deterministic sides of AI. If I was starting right outta college, I'd focus on the #robotics software layer.. ROS on the os side and RobotStudio (ABB) and RoboDK..
