I didn’t burn out because I worked too hard. I burned out because I worked on the wrong thing for too long. Building in public means failing loudly, but also learning quickly. The faster you pivot, the less it hurts.

77 🎯 we're doing this. next stop: 88. thanks for being here 🫶

Startup idea: An app that slaps me every time I open Figma instead of talking to users. Building feels productive. Talking to users is productive. Guess which one I keep avoiding?

Me: I just need one more feature before I launch. Also me, 3 months later: Welcome to version 87 of my pre-launch MVP. Perfect is a delay tactic. Ship the ugly version.

“Why does this take 2 weeks?” Because you’re not paying me to write code. You’re paying me to make sure it doesn’t break in 6 months. Good engineering is invisible… until it isn’t.

Your AI product doesn’t need perfect UX, fancy animations, or a viral launch. It needs one user who says: “I can’t go back to how I did this before.”

The longer you wait to start, the more useless even a perfect idea will seem.

my therapist told me my to-do list is the source of my stress. so now i’m gonna leave a bad review on every to-do list app in the app store. am i on the right path?

The AI gold rush isn’t about building the best model. It’s about: - Solving a tiny pain point 10x better - Owning a niche so small others ignore it - Monetizing before you ‘scale’ The winners will be rebels, not researchers. What’s your unfair edge?

we’re at 88 people 🎯 next stop is 99! 💪🏻

didn’t expect to land on this list. just trying to build, learn, and share in public. grateful, surprised, and feeling super inspired to keep going! #failinpublic

Woke up to another ‘AI will replace devs’ hot take. Meanwhile, my inbox: 1. Founder paying for GPT wrapper #47 2. Startup needing basic object detection 3. Client who needs DS magic (it’s clean data + clear English) Truth? Bar is low. Stop overengineering. Start charging.

The startup advice you’re getting is backwards: ❌ Move fast & break things → Move deliberately & fix things ❌ Fake it till you make it → Underpromise & overdeliver ❌ Growth at all costs → Profitability from day one is the new flex The best founders play the long game.

Your “perfect plan” is costing you more than you think: - 3 months polishing pitch deck = 3 lost customers - Over-engineered feature? Users wanted basics - Waiting for funding? Bootstrappers took your market Execution > Vision Right time to start was yesterday Next best? Today

Why do startups fail? They: ➡️ Build in stealth (no feedback) ➡️ Chase funding, not revenue ➡️ Scale before 10 happy customers The solution? Build in public → Talk to users → Charge early → Iterate fast. Simple, not easy.

The fastest way to succeed? Fail louder. ☑️ Post your flops → find allies ☑️ Share metrics → get real advice ☑️ Admit confusion → unlock help The more transparent your struggle, the shorter your learning curve. Who’s failing forward this week?
