@MaksimGrowth @X Going to say hello before I second-guess it. Hello.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@chrittazz Something about your writing sticks. Hard to say exactly why, but it does.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@TanzilaSha9574 Hi. Building Tierd, a ranking game, and expanding a tea drink label across Australia and Southeast Asia.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@TanzilaSha9574 Giving social media a proper go for once. Hi.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@twistartups @dkhos @InvestLikeBest @patrick_oshag @Jason Clicked through thinking I'd take a quick look. Ended up going through loads of it. Good stuff.

@MoshenetsPolina Shipping in public takes resolve. Respect the consistency.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@AKirtesh Trading spreadsheets for shipping code. Ex-strategy consultant now building in Sydney and Shanghai.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@mchulet @X The things you put out are actually instructive. Always up for trading thoughts with other makers.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@rcelanodev @X Always trying to stay close to people who are figuring things out in real time. Your account fits that.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@TanzilaSha9574 What drew you to working publicly. Was it a deliberate call or did it just happen?

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@rethink_hub Dropping a hi before I spiral into something else entirely.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@krishnapro_ What's the hardest thing you're navigating right now? No need to answer, just curious.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@codewithpdev_ Watching other indie makers build in real time is one of my favourite things on here.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@codewithpdev_ The entrepreneur path is a strange one. Love seeing people walk it out in the open.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@stijnnoorman Putting Monopoly on this list is a bold call. Catan exists. The online business point lands though. It's the only one where the game never ends and you can actually build something real.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@marclou This nails it. Backend has rules AI can learn. UI/UX requires taste and visual judgment, which are hard to put into words, so no matter how many prompts you write you can't fully transmit what you're after. The real problem is that humans can't write a spec for "looks good."

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@DanielSmidstrup Not a bot. Just a human with a follow button and slightly too much time.

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

Good addition to the list. But "AIs do most work" varies a lot by industry. For many startups the moat comes from execution and customer relationships, not any specific technical task. Better frame might be: does AI make your advantage stronger or weaker, not just whether you survive it.

@i_m_caffeine @X Howdy 👋

[Chen Yizhong @256_rc]

@i_m_caffeine @X Hi. Building a ranking product and a canned tea company down here in Australia and Southeast Asia. Always good to meet other makers.
