It’s absolutely crazy to observe how your mind changes within hours of your period arriving. Shocks me every single time. One day you want to die and the next, you are hopeful about life again.
@ES_Entrepreneur@British_Airways@British_Airways similar situation. 4 of us tried to get onto a call. My husband. My brother. American airline operator. 1+ hour of hold. No help. To top it? British Airways counter at the airport was shut.
@British_Airways you rebooked me on an American Airlines flight without reissuing the tickets to them. AA could not check me in and they could not get in touch with you either. I have now booked an overnight stay & another airline to get back to India. Pls assist on refund/stay claim.
@British_Airways
My flight from British Airways was canceled. The halt was originally in London but now it has been rerouted with a halt in Tokyo. American Airline says the ticket hasn't been reissued. Now I won’t be able to get onto the flight.
Completely understand the @British_Airways nightmare in dealing with current ATC crisis. But frustratingly bizarre on being advised to contact them re flight and using number their site advertises the response is “this number doesn’t exist”!?
@British_Airways Flight cancelled and redirected to Tokyo but without issuing the ticket. I’m at the airport with no support and unable to check in. Your check in desks are “shut” On a day where you cancel 200 flights.
I accidentally discovered how to compress a month of research into 3 hours.
A founder at a YC company showed me his Claude setup. I thought he was just fast. Then I watched him build an entire go-to-market strategy for a market he'd never worked in before.
Here's exactly what he did:
First: he didn't ask Claude to "research the market."
He fed it 8 competitor landing pages, 3 earnings call transcripts, 12 customer reviews, and a Reddit thread of complaints.
Then he asked one question:
"What does every successful player in this market understand that their customers never say out loud?"
Not "summarize these." Not "analyze the competition."
The unspoken insight. The thing that takes founders 2 years of customer calls to figure out.
But the next part is what broke my brain.
He followed up with:
"Now show me the 3 assumptions this entire market is built on, and what would have to be true for each one to be wrong."
In 15 minutes he had the attack surface of an entire industry.
The blind spots. The fragile consensus. The opening nobody was talking about.
Most founders spend 6 months doing customer discovery just to find one of those.
Then he did something I've never seen before.
He asked:
"Write 5 questions a world-class investor would ask to destroy this business idea, then answer each one using only the evidence in these documents."
He spent the next 2 hours stress-testing every assumption. Every weak answer triggered a follow-up:
"What's the strongest version of this argument and where does it still break?"
By hour 3, he had a strategy deck that felt like it came from someone who'd spent a decade in the space.
The tool didn't change. The questions did.
Most people treat Claude like a faster Google.
These founders are using it like a thinking partner who has read everything and has no ego about being wrong.
The difference between 3 hours and 3 months isn't the amount of information.
It's knowing which questions actually matter.
