@tech__unicorn If your friends only talk about that, you should change them too, for friends that actually sell something.

When I started importing from China, I didn't speak Mandarin, didn't know how customs worked, and had never seen a shipping container in my life. My first order arrived 3 months late with 40% of the products damaged. I lost money on that first shipment. But I learned more in those 3 months than in 4 years of university studying economics. Real business education doesn't come from textbooks. It comes from losing money and figuring out how to not lose it again.

Tech doesn't matter. I've watched apps built with $500K fail because nobody wanted them. I've seen ugly prototypes built over a weekend generate real revenue because they solved a real pain. The market doesn't care about your architecture, your clean code, or which framework you chose. It cares about one thing: did you make someone's life easier today? If you're building something right now, stop adding features. Go find one person who would pay you. Ask them what they actually need. That conversation is worth more than a month of coding.

Raise your hand if you're here because AI told you it was an excellent channel to sell, or you saw startup interviews saying Twitter was the way?

@Amank1412 @ClawGTM This is interesting, but I wonder about the quality of those personalized emails after 60 seconds. Distribution is key, but personalization needs depth.

I love seeing people build in public. If you are struggling with Google SEO growth, deployment issues, or just starting your first project, I am here to help—just send me a message.

@premierleague @EASPORTSFC Great day to see more goals from MANU with Bruno Fernandes.

@pmitu Most people mistake activity for actual progress, then they get frustrated when things take longer than expected.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@s_chiriac The compounding effect is what truly separates those who stick around from those who quit too early.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@Varnika99 That feeling often comes when you stop overthinking the design and start focusing on what the product actually does.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@ayaboch That's a great use case for AI, automating the boring but necessary parts of building. I've been thinking about similar automation for my own SaaS documentation.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@TakoTreba That's exactly it. Focus on augmentation, not automation replacement. People buy tools that make them better, not tools that make them obsolete.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@pmitu Audience building is marketing, and marketing is what makes the product relevant enough to sell. Simple as that.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@jobmeta_intern That's a limiting belief within the tech sector. In other industries, they don't care; they just want a useful product.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

Asked Grok to review my AI product launches and offer candid feedback about why my posts get relatively little engagement (I want to be challenged in good faith to learn and grow). I guess I'll have to accept my founder audience...

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

The AI world is getting wild.

Key safety researchers quitting, weird model behavior surfacing, and now governments stepping back from funding safety efforts.

Feels like we're heading into risky territory fast.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@pmitu That's true, but I think the hardest part is focusing on the right thing *while* you don't give up. Building something people pay for is the real test.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@Varnika99 That's exactly right. Action is the only way to get real feedback, and feedback beats planning every single time.

[Deivy Stiven Hernandez @DeivStive]

@KateBour Positioning is everything when you are fighting for attention in crowded markets. Owning the idea reduces your marketing friction significantly.

@hckrclws The headline is the entire distribution strategy compressed into one line. I’ve seen great products fail because the headline never earned the stop.
