Building a tech product as a non-technical founder is no small feat. To succeed, you don’t need to become a developer—but you do need to understand the essentials well enough to lead, collaborate, and make informed decisions. There are times that the technical jargon thrown

Mid-market CEOs: You’ve got the distribution. The customer base. The data. So what happens when you plug AI into that?👇 Faster growth. Higher margins. Better exits. See the clip below and full podcast here: youtu.be/hB0WkM2Qqrs?si… #GrowthStrategy #TechTwitter #AI

What happens when you can offset your biggest cost—people—with AI that’s better, faster, cheaper? I unpacked this and more in a podcast titled "A.I. Essentials for the C-Suite & Senior Leadership: Starting Smart, Scaling Right:" youtu.be/hB0WkM2Qqrs?si… #AI #TechTwitter #CEO

After talking to many founders, there is a pattern emerging: AI tools like Lovable & Bolt are seeing rapid adoption—then even faster churn. Andrej Karpathy Thoughts? At Archie, we're building for that gap w/ infrastructure that sticks—and scales. 🎙️Podcast: youtu.be/hB0WkM2Qqrs?si…

Anyone else tried Lovable or Bolt? Both hit $50M+ fast. But I keep hearing: “Great for prototyping—not production.” “I cancel and rejoin every three weeks.” “Our team outgrew it in a month.” #TechNews #Founders #nocodeai

The real magic happens when... 💡Your vague idea becomes clear 🗣️Your vision finally matches what gets built ⏳You stop wasting time + money building the wrong thing #Tech #Innovation #AI

Speed isn’t your enemy. Direction is. Your MVP didn’t flop because you moved fast. It flopped because you built the wrong thing fast. Anyone else learned this the hard way? #FounderLife #BuildInPublic

Most founders hire their first Head of Sales like they're scaling. But at early stage, you're still inventing. Don't hire a closer. Hire a builder. A founder who sells. They don’t need infra. They create it—deal by deal. 🔗 armorysv.substack.com/p/the-most-imp… #AI #EarlyStage #innovation

MVP or Minimum Viable Pitfall? 🚧 You rush to ship fast, thinking speed = progress. But if your MVP is too vague, it won’t validate anything. It just burns trust, confuses teams, and wastes cycles. Clarity > speed. Always. #ProductClarity #StartupLife #Innovation

A rushed MVP isn’t “lean.” It’s a false signal. You learn nothing except that building without a clarity = pain later. Good MVPs de-risk. Bad ones distract. Don’t confuse shipping fast with shipping smart. #TechNews #BuildInPublic #AI

Not all MVPs are created equal. The best ones validate key assumptions with just enough product. The worst? They turn your uncertainty into technical debt. Build lean — but don’t build blind. Seen this before? 👀 #EntrepreneurMindset #FirstPrinciples #TechTrends

“We’ll build and figure it out as we go” feels agile — but it’s just expensive guessing. At today’s speed, fuzzy MVPs aren’t scrappy. They’re slow. You don’t need to build faster. You need to build clearer. #FounderLife #BuildInPublic #ProductLeadership

A dev sprint spent clarifying the idea is a sprint wasted. You should already know: - What you're building - Who it’s for - Why it matters Spec first. Then sprint. #TechTwitter #FirstPrinciples #FounderLife

The worst product decisions don’t come from bad ideas — they come from vague ones. You need clarity. No fluff. No guessing. Just build-ready specs you can trust. #BuildInPublic #FounderLife #AI

Most MVPs don’t fail because of bad code. They fail because no one knew what the hell they were building. At Archie, we help you fix that—before you launch. #FounderLife #ProductLeadership #TechTwitter

You don’t get post-launch momentum from luck. You get it from great product architecture: 🧠 Clear thinking 📐 Sharp spec 📦 Real value That’s exactly what we deliver at Archie. #BuildInPublic #ProductLeadership #AI
