The Addictive Brain

I’m 38 and building a SaaS product. Background in neuroscience, with a long-running habit of explaining complex things clearly, now applied to marketing and product. Looking to connect with: • Founders and early-stage builders • People working in AI, SaaS, and startups • Marketers who care about substance over noise • Anyone building in public #letsconnect and hear what you’re working on.

Replies are the cheapest impressions on @X. Reply to accounts bigger than you. Reply in the first 10 minutes. Lead with your point of view, not “Great post!” Your reply is a post that borrows someone else’s audience.

Stop adding “one more feature” before a single user has seen the app. Feature five won’t save you from the feedback on feature one.

I see only 3 recurring ads - explee, a wedding invitation and Sensei labs. It’s annoying. I am ok with @X to show ads but pls show new ads 😜

450 verified followers. Can I reach 500+ by Monday? If you are open to connecting, let's #connect on @X

Is posting 8 times a day spam? Not if each post says something different. Spam is the same post pasted again and again. Volume with variety is just consistency.

Before you build your next app, remember: Don’t prompt before you know who it’s for. Don’t launch before you’ve talked to ten people. Don’t add features before one user asks. Speed is not the goal. Direction is.

You don’t need a better idea. You need a smaller audience. “Tools for everyone” has no first customer. “Tools for gym owners who hate Excel” has one by Friday. #buildinpublic #buildforusers

Anyone here works at Boston Scientific or knows someone who does? Looking for a referall for a role.

A rule worth stealing if you build with AI: Never prompt while frustrated. Paste the error. Read the error. Then write one calm sentence. Angry prompts burn credits and make the code worse. #codingrules #vibecodingrules

Is it too early to charge for your AI app? If one stranger would pay $9 today, no. Free users tell you what’s nice. Paying users tell you what’s necessary.

Hey @X @grok - my analytics show 4k verified impressions but creator studio dashboard show 937. Why this discrepancy? Which one to trust? @kamilbaranek_ - do you know anything about this?

This is huge. @AnthropicAI just filed for an IPO. #ClaudeAI #IPO #AnthropicIPO

Getting your first 100K impressions on X as a new builder isn’t easy. Here’s what I’d do: Post 6-8 short originals a day. Reply to bigger accounts in your niche early. Put the best idea in line one. Volume gets you seen. Quality decides who stays.

.@airtelindia - stop calling every day and telling me to take an IPTV connection. I have told you multiple times; I am not interested. How hard it is to get my number off your calling list?

Stop asking marketing to “make it convert” after you build the app. If marketing owns the signup number, they get a say before the first prompt: who it’s for, what the page says and what gets cut. Most apps that don’t convert were never built for a person.

Vibe coders, can you spot the error? I can.

A rule I follow when building with AI: Never ship what you haven’t broken yourself. The AI will tell you it works. Your users will tell you the truth. Testing is not extra work. It is the product.
