17 | Learning indie hacking in public.

AI tools. Building. Founder Psychology.

From India. Not advice - observations from the beginning

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

I am 17!

No games
No social media
No Netflix
No parties
No addictions
(No studying 😅)

Just
Learning.
Building.
Shipping.

@shubh19 Love seeing this.

As someone still learning and posting into the void sometimes, this is proof that consistency compounds even when the results aren't visible yet. 🚀

@jackfriks Most people would choose the extra $600 MRR.

But keeping $600 is often easier than earning a new $600.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@anupamrjp Falling in love with the solution before validating the problem.

I've seen this mistake mentioned by so many experienced founders.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@rdbuilds7 Still in the learning phase 👨‍💻

Exploring AI, coding, and startups every day. Hopefully I'll have something to drop here soon 🤝

Ready to connect :)

@KaiXCreator From what I've seen, Claude Code feels better for long coding sessions, while Codex seems stronger when you need tight integration with the OpenAI ecosystem.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@jackfriks The builder's loop: ship → think → ship → repeat.😂

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@krishdotdev Claude Sonnet 4.6. Feels like the sweet spot between quality, speed, and cost right now

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@anupamrjp Yes. Money is the goal eventually, but learning and momentum have value too.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@jackfriks A lot of progress exists because someone ignored the odds and kept building anyway.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@0xPrajwal_ This is probably the best AI career advice I've seen. Execution is getting cheaper, judgment isn't.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@tanujDE3180 Founder. Highest risk by far, but also the highest upside. The ceiling isn't even close.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@anupamrjp If people are already paying without much marketing, that's usually a pretty good signal.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@TheSpacerr If you're the one who found the problem, validated it, shipped it, and got users, then yes. The tool used to build it doesn't change that.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@uday_devops Memory. Not having to repeat context every conversation is a huge quality-of-life upgrade.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@jackprice Exploring AI, coding, and indie hacking. Would love to connect with people a few steps ahead of me and learn from their journey.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

You have nothing built yet. So what do you post?

What you're learning.
What you're confused by.
What you're noticing.

Progress posts come later. Learning posts work from day one, at any follower count.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

@OhazBuilds $10k MRR. Followers don't pay the bills unless you know how to monetize them.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

Who else is at 0 MRR and under 500 followers right now?

Not looking for gurus. Looking for peers in the exact same spot.

Reply and let's actually connect. We need people in the trenches more than people on the mountain.

[Akshay @Akkii_learner]

Honestly I had motivation completely backwards.

I kept waiting to feel motivated, then I'd ship. It's the reverse.

Ship one tiny thing. The motivation shows up behind it. Action first, feelings follow.
