companies like Facebook record every imaginable interaction their users have with the platform. they log each of your clicks and taps. they keep track of how long your gaze lingered on a post, whether you were on the same WiFi as that woman who might be your friend, which

any advice from founders who have gotten over the cringe of linkedin and write posts that consistently generate inbound?

Intercom was great for support, but not for selling. When QuotaPath used it on their marketing site, visitors with buying intent couldn’t get real-time answers or talk to anyone. That’s when they switched to an AI sales agent built for conversions, not tickets.

celebrating giving away a significant percentage of your company in exchange for money you're surely going to burn because you haven't proven scalability is, insane.

Most people are net consumers. Net consumers are so separated from the toils of production that they assume it is easy, and therefore the outputs should be nearly free. B2B = net producer to net producer (for the most part), so you get to deal with this much less.

i've remained bullish on cursor. it was only a matter of time since they released their own model. their reliance on major model providers was both a major strategic liability and likely the crux of their unsustainable burn rate. i remember all the VC posts a few months ago

100% agree with Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin that customers do not care if they are talking with AI or a human (under the correct conditions). they just want fast, tailored answers. but they want to know whether it is an AI or a human. what they DON'T want is to talk to an AI that is pretending to

burning through ~50% of my cursor ultra plan limits 5 days after the start of the billing period feels like a sign that I need to spend more time on marketing and distribution.

see I'll never understand this. If my business cannot support me in my home country, I've failed. moving somewhere halfway across the world where I literally don't know anyone doesn't solve anything.

the obsession with location here is insane. I get this tweet is a joke, not trying to single it out. typically you see grass is greener syndrome in younger people, but the tech community at large seems to genuinely believe this about SF/NYC. I guess it depends on what your

If you're trying to build an actual SaaS company (not an indie hacker product), this is terrible advice. there are so many examples of SaaS companies that didn't land a single customer for many months and now are 8+ figure ARR businesses. there are also many examples of

If more founders optimized for solving problems for customers instead getting into an accelerator or VC funding we’d increase the number of successful startups by an order of magnitude.

I'm excited to announce Layo (Layo / uselayo.com) The world's first platform for creating scalable ChatGPT apps. AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are becoming the main interface for how people use software and connect with brands. AI-native apps

this was fun to ship. I think AI in production has been slightly underwhelming for a lot of companies, and I've seen B2B quietly return to the safety of deterministic flows. we built something that combines both in a cool way - think OpenAI's agent builder for the B2B SaaS

I think "burnout" is when your brain's reward signaling breaks from long periods of time where input has 0 correlation with output. In almost every 9-5, the correlation is strong. To stay in the game, you need to view input as the reward. "Don't judge each day by the harvest

it is becoming clear to me that the only thing anthropic models are good for is UI. 5.3 dominates 4.6 is nearly everything with UI as the exception.

"It's not the people who can code, it's the people with grit!" Sir, you have all this grit but never learned to code and build your dream app? I doubt you know what the word grit means. Maybe it was never the coding that stopped you, it was you and likely will still be you.
