Shaping the future of AI wearables @tryvexoai @YCombinator (F26)

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

Are you are power user of AI? Then this hardware will make you 100x productive !!

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

One thing most engineers founders commonly diregard that is KILLING their product

The design.

Say it with me now.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

I got into YC 3 months ago.

Here's YC's advice, compressed into 6 lines:

1 Launch now
2 Make something people want
3 Do things that don't scale
4 Talk to users
5 Focus on one or two metrics
6 Don't die

Simple. Not easy.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

So many people are complaining that the job market is cooked.

The job market is not cooked.

You aren't trying enough.

Be smart. If you see 1000 people applying online. Try finding a job recruiter or pitch the source.

Work smarter.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

How to automate the right things:

Do it by hand 10 times
Write down the steps
Automate only the steps that never change

Automate too early and you'll automate the wrong thing.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

996 is overhyped for no reason. Tired founders are inefficient founders.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

Marketing is like a humiliation ritual all of us founders have to face. Its a canon event.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

The best thing about building a company is the building. The worst thing about building a company is when you have to market it.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

Junior engineers write more code.

Senior engineers delete more code.

Staff engineers stop the code from being written in the first place.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

If you're the best engineer in the room, find a new room. Being the worst one is how you get good fast.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

"Don't be a jerk" is on YC's list of essential startup advice. They've watched thousands of companies. That's not an accident.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

Charge early. Free users tell you what's nice. Paying users tell you what's worth it.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

If AI could take one thing off your plate forever, what would you hand it first?

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

Want to build on hardware without buying hardware?Show up. We're handing out Vexo bracelets at VexoHacks. Nov 14, YC SF.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

A bug in software costs you a hotfix.A bug in hardware costs you a box of dead units.Same mistake. 1000x the price.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

Startups aren't hard because the work is hard.They're hard because the work never ends.Learn to love the loop.

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

@realharismalik Agreed! Most founders end up making this mistake trying to chase perfection early on

[Farqaleet kiani @Kianif98]

Founders: what’s one thing you’d tell yourself on day 1?

Mine: talk to users before you write a single line of code. I learned that one the expensive way.
