Being an entrepreneur is like repeatedly smashing your head against a wall until it punches through. #buildinpublic #business #entrepreneur #startups

Highly recommend early founders learn "No Code" tools. There's no reason to code if you can build it 5x faster without code. I still use "no code" tools all the time. I built my Chrome extension in Bubble, so I could focus on coding the backend + iOS app. #buildinpublic

Launching new products in December's probably a bad idea. This feels like a good time to write code, prepare campaigns, and get ready to hit 2023 strong.

ChatGPT is what AskJeeves was trying to do in 1999. The trend holds true: most 2000 .com busts were good ideas, ahead of their time.

Lensa AI is making $1 million a day. The underlying tech - Dreambooth for Stable Diffusion - was openly available since Sep. There was a 3 month window where anyone could have built this. #stablediffusion #ai #startups

ChatGPT is amazing at writing RegEx and ffmpeg functions. I always had a really hard time with those. Now, I just describe what I want and ChatGPT does the heavy lifting.

If GPT does replace Google, it might dramatically slow the growth of human knowledge. People won’t create as much content, because Google is no longer sending them clicks. GPT has less training data, as GPT doesn’t create new ideas. Overall pace of knowledge creation slows.

Just as FB creates a 100% personal feed for you, someday Netflix will create a 100% personalized TV show for you. It will have infinite episodes. The characters are perfectly your type. They share your sense of humor & sense of justice. A.I. gen media taken to its extreme.

AI feels like the one situation where it’s probably better to use the shovels than sell them, because if you build an AI shovel a week later they invent an AI bulldozer.

Our revenue has grown 10x because of HF0. Game changer for our company. For my founder friends, I'd 100% recommend applying.

The most e/acc thing we can do is fix San Francisco. Fix San Francisco and we will create a breeding ground of ideas that will usher in a Golden Age like never before seen in history.

The founders crushed it at Demo Day this week👇 Since then, we’ve been getting so many incredible late recommendations that we decided to extend the final deadline to this Sunday: HF0.com If you know a founder we should absolutely meet, let us know right away.

This election is going to change our country forever. Life will get complicated, noise will be everywhere.  But HF0 will be quiet. It’s where ten teams will be shutting out the world to build generational companies.  Applications open today: hf0.com (1/5)

HF0 is the longest period of uninterrupted focus most founders experience in their lives. And it delivers real results. 40% of teams break $1M ARR. Avg team raises $5M+. Final application deadline is tonight at midnight.

If you haven’t adopted this new way of building companies, you will get outcompeted. In twelve weeks - four of ten teams broke $2M ARR - fifth team hit $1.7M - top team went from 1 to 10M Launching applications today. Ten teams. Only one HF0.

Cursor / windsurf works great with Test Driven Development. Write your tests first, then Cursor in Composer mode can write your code, run your tests, figure out what's broken, rewrite the code, etc all on its own. Super impressive.
