If you had to start a new #techproject tomorrow, how would you prefer to build your #team?
#Fulltime #Freelancers #Outstaffing

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

Everyone wants the hottest #AI model or shiniest #crypto stack.

But at scale, “cool” breaks.

Boring wins: boring infra, boring code, boring uptime.

#Startups chase hype. Survivors chase leverage.

Choose wisely.

#FounderLife #BuildInPublic

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

You can stare at dashboards all day and still ship the wrong thing.

Metrics don’t build great products - conversations do.

Stop chasing charts. Start listening.

#FounderLife #BuildInPublic #NoBS

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

Chasing buzzwords isn’t strategy.

Buying tools out of fear isn’t innovation.

Panic makes you reactive.

Clarity makes you dangerous.

Solve root problems - not whatever’s trending.

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

Everyone loves “plug & play” Until you hit “scale & pray.”

That off-the-shelf tool saved you 2 weeks - now it’s costing you 6 months.

Speed is cool. Control is cooler.

Own your core, or be owned by it.

When #CSdegree is finally paying off 😅

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

I used to think moving fast on a project was winning.

Turns out we were just tripping over our own chaos.

Speed means nothing if your team can’t think straight.

Now? I don’t want “urgency.” I want systems.

Think faster > move faster.

#StartupTruths #DevLeadership

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

AI doesn’t hesitate to scrap its output and start over when the direction is wrong.

As a founder, I had to do the same with DevHeaven.
The demand for devs dropped. No tweak would fix it.
So I killed it - fast. No regrets. That’s how you stay sharp.

#FounderLife #BuildInPublic #NoBS

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

Everyone thinks founders have the answers.
Truth is - we’re guessing 80% of the time.
You don’t “figure it all out.” You build mid-flight, under pressure, without a map.
That’s not imposter syndrome. That’s the job.

@PatternicaSoft 😅

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

Everyone’s obsessed with “brand love.”

You know what actually kills trust?

Slow replies. Sloppy onboarding. Overpromising & ghosting.

At @PatternicaSoft & @DevHeavenHQ, we skip the fluff and just deliver.

Predictable > pretty.

Most people quit when it stops being fun. Builders push through when it isn’t fun - until it is.
Learning to ship, like learning to surf, sucks at first. But if you ride enough bad waves, one day you're flying. #BuildInPublic #DevLife

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

Stop saying #AI is one-size-fits-all.

In #fintech it powers real-time risk models, in #ecommerce it drives hyper-personalisation, and in #logistics it optimises routes on the fly.

Which sector’s AI challenge excites you most?

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

@PatternicaSoft Agree!

#AI is the new #Google - where do you go for answers now?

[Anton Tkachov @ITSuccessGuru]

@PatternicaSoft Absolutely!
