15 minutes on X make you think all ever possible consumer app ideas are being built within the next week. Maybe I need to fix how I’m wired. I see the logic of building in public content being motivating, but most of it seems net negative for me.

Memes are great. Since ppl can’t read anymore, they are the only way of communicating non simple concepts. This meme in our paywall makes me 3k per day more than without.

the only reasonable thing to do in most of Europe. taxes on everything, social security, regulations requiring advisors, tariffs. effective taxation is 70%++ for sure, even for lower income. Ppl don’t get it bc not all of it comes in the form of a letter that states “taxes”.

lots of German founders take this kind of advice. it's part of why we're not producing inspiring stuff anymore

I would put a similar ban on my kids, but I'd respect other ppl taking a different decision for their children. Such a law is bad for everyone on multiple levels. Except the government, who can control information given to kids easier now.

Every quarter we learn that we still focused on too many things at the same time. It’s not that we don’t incorporate it, more that we underestimate how much less is necessary.

None of the AI reels tools that advertise organic reach at scale that I’ve found linked an Instagram account that is utilising this strategy. Wonder why.

mine were stolen by activision fucking up the original warzone with their yearly release cycles 💔 😭

Deutschland braucht mehr Unternehmer die ihren Erfolg nach außen tragen. Junge Männer sehen nicht genug, dass sie in Deutschland eine realistische Chance auf Wohlstand haben.

You have a problem, so you decide to raise some money. Now you have two problems. So you hire some people. Now you have three problems.
