figuring it out | experimenting @LabsRez

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

this prolly won't get views, I'd write anyways

the biggest lesson i've learnt after 7 months of Rez is, don't start a startup with literal $0 in your pockets the ambition can only go so far then the reality will show up

bootstrapping also requires some initial capital & it's very hard to keep the team motivated without financial incentives unless they share the same vision, which is very rare + you won't get quality work

don't expect anyone to help you for w/o providing any value in return

i tried my best to raise but there are some obvious places where we lack so it didn't went through, there had been weeks of 2x meetings everyday but didn't made it to the second one

skill issue? yes

obvious mistake was, we were trying to raise too quick, our vision was strong which got us meetings, but the product didn't match up to it's level, for half of the time i was pitching the wrong narrative it cost me time & funding opportunity

huge blunder

no support
no guidance
no funds
no nothing

the markets changed, all agentic trading products does the same thing, or they are leaning to being the same thing

+ create/ choose strat
+ select venue/s
+ deploy
+ trades 24/7
+ or it's NLP based
+ or a combination of both

now one can argue
"there are multiple DEXs, all have users"
yes
because they are DEXs, there is differentiation

what if 20 platforms all integrated with same DEXs, let you deploy agents with diff UX

what's the moat then? where's the differentiation?

the ones with the biggest bags will win

but,
+ we onboard users,
+ people deposited funds
+ did 1:1 with users, got feedback
+ this is something I could only dream of

nah, I am not shutting it down, i def do not want to make just another bot for trading, I want to take my time, figure things out

also s/o to @0xSuhass for shipping & putting up w me

TL;DR - don't start a startup if you're dead broke.

@rajarshidattapy Which year are you in kiddo

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

@nayli_ai try zed

For the people at the back of the room.

Build in India, never build for India.

[Pavel Durov @durov]

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.

This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.

And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

@Ayussheth there's a club for everything now

[Rez @LabsRez]

We are sunsetting Rez Labs.

AGI will end up being like aliens.

The government denies they are keeping it secret only for themselves.

When in fact it never existed and the real conspiracy was making people believe they were hiding something.

I'm almost ready to believe we are living in a simulation.

Yann LeCun (LeBased) weighs in on the
@AnthropicAI debacle. I have to say I agree with 100% with Yann here.

"One reaps what one sows." 👏

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

I have a lot of respect for @OpenAI codex team, codex doesn't stop you mid session even if you're out of tokens unlike @claudeai

stopping mid session is very cheap.

It's been a month of using codex & claude every single day, codex wins. no doubt.

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

web3 -> ai

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

even in the age of ai & vibecoding cbse & all other govt websites look & feel to be stuck in 90s

@tomhschmidt atp who is scamming who in crypto, if these big firms are funding a scammer then what even the point man.

@surface remove windows install linux

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

I've never faced an issue using @zeddotdev . But most of the so called "agentic IDEs" are basically vibecoded slop for vibecoding.

It looks the same - has to, you can't alien IDE UI
It feels the same
It is the same
Probably forked from VSC

[athas.dev @athasdev]

Cursor is not an code editor anymore.
Zed language servers and agents crash all the time.
JetBrains is too slow and agents crash all the time.
Installing a theme from VS Code store can potentially infect your computer with malware.

Who will fix this?

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

I've been using Zed integrated with :
- @opencode
- Codex
- @claudeai Code

For over a month now, every single day.
I am never going back.

[Zed @zeddotdev]

We've shipped more than a thousand versions of Zed, but all of them began with zero. Today, that changes.

I've uncapped credit allowance for @OpenRouter at our startup, we're working on building assessment engines, physics engines and a lot of research oriented stuff.

Which models are a must try?

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

@claudeai why do I need to consent to allow collection of my pvt data as a mandate ?

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

we once compared video game sizes, now we compare model sizes

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

@romanbuildsaas idk how people use this, very bad UI, even ai slop (which this is) would generate better ui.

proves my point, who can raise they can just raise

[tamaghna @0xtdey]

I know of a protocol who keeps saying how good their product is but they never launched & they keep talking about "community"
