alright, going to #buildinpublic on this one. My first time doing so - it's an AI pen pal app idea my kid pitched to me over breakfast few days ago. - spent about 4-5 hours today spinning this up. Calling it "Bestie". Geared towards late adolescents and teens with mobile phone…

"Fail fast" sounds smart in theory. But, in practice I've also seen it become an excuse for not thinking things through. Sometimes slow and deliberate beats fast and sloppy.

We've all watched dozens of startups come and go over the years Most didn’t fail because the idea was bad. They were doing too much at the same time. One minute it’s “we’re building for creators.” Next week “Let’s pivot to AI.” Then someone says, “We should drop a token.”…

"Case studies are dead" I sincerely hope young designers don't take these types of absolutisms to heart. Design is about communication. I want to know how you thought through messy problems, navigated organizational hurdles, and tested ideas that didn’t always work. Does it…

Start up founders, take note. Listen to your customers. @zoink about to be a public company CEO and still actively engaging with customers to address feedback. $FIG 🚀

Highly successful people talk about hustle, scale, and exits, but almost none talk about balancing friends and your family while doing it. You hear founders talk about product-market fit, but you never hear them talk about relationship-market fit. How to stay present when…

Consistency: the slowest but most unbeatable strategy.

Latest coding workflow that's been working insanely well. Currently using both Claude Code and @cursor_ai in tandem on separate desktop views. Claude Code: - Generating thorough documentation on backend and frontend details in md format - Implementing larger features or…

ai is making it easier and cheaper to run a business of one. but the real payoff isn’t the extra profit. it’s owning every hour of your day without asking anyone.

using onchain stuff used to feel like solving a puzzle wallet setup, seed phrases it was overwhelming but the last 1–2 years changed everything onboarding has been greatly improved ( @turnkeyhq, @privy_io ) smart wallets handle gas, security, even recovery embedded wallets…

while y’all are busy building ‘degen roulette v4’, real teams are onboarding the next 100M people. 👏 @nook_savings

winning with AI starts with how you think. the best builders today know how to express and test what goes on in their head. what if I built this weird tool for fun? what if I connected this to that? that mindset of pure curiosity is the new cheat code. cursor and copilot let…

Friendly reminder: your health is the real KPI.

robots with ai are no longer merely a trend. with reachy mini, hugging face and pollen robotics bring robotics to the desktop. open-source, python-programmable, and starting at $299, it sees, listens, speaks, moves, and learns. but its real power is the shift it represents,…

Everyone wants to believe in the magic of autonomous agents. But we’re not there yet. Most AI companies are overselling what these systems can actually do. Today’s agents can’t reliably book your flight, file your taxes, or build a real product end-to-end without guardrails,…

huge congrats on the launch, @coinbase @base friends! excited to dig into the new @baseapp.
