@araseb_ Any product no matter how amazing needs to find its users, and that requires billions of dollars in promotion; after all, how do you get all those companies and employees to switch over to a new, better version of LinkedIn?
@SmallsBangkok A lineup like this does more than fill a room: it gives people a few natural reasons to talk before the first note. Bangkok’s music scene sounds wonderfully interconnected here.
@DmitryVladyko@tibo_maker guests to meet. That’s what got them to sit down with me.
I wasn’t even sure the thing worked yet. Meetings still went well. Now they’re waiting for me to finish the build.
I felt demand before I could prove anything on a screen.
@DmitryVladyko@tibo_maker The note was short. A few words: an app for people to meet at their venues or events — plus a link to the site.
Nobody opened the link, haha. I asked at every meeting: did you get a chance to look? Every time — no.
One phrase that was already in their heads — an app for their
@DmitryVladyko@tibo_maker Alone is quieter until the decision that needs someone to push back. I'd take the partner who argues marketing over the one who only nods.
2 year ago, I decided to get the profession of a programmer and went to the courses. I paid for my studies and started studying. A month later, the chat gpt model was released, which caused a sensation, although it was far from the one we seeing now, but with its help I then assembled a telegram bot from the third attempt. I was completely delighted and the next day I wrote to my classmates that I don't see any point in entering programming so late, because it probably won't be much time and Junes will not be needed at all (people like us). They began to convince me then and say that it is impossible, that AI will never be able to work with code even close to the middle. I wrote an application for deduction, returned the remaining money for training and said goodbye to them.
Last week, I carried out a technical launch of my client's created application without programming knowledge and it worked and there was not a single critical problem that would drop or break it
@andrei_tuduce For me it's not the code. It's explaining what you built to someone who should care — and watching their face stay blank until you say it out loud, in person, three times.
@Surajit03653424 That's the part I trust more than ads. When someone finds you because of what you wrote, they're already halfway in — they didn't get sold, they recognized themselves.
@ArdenBuilds The loneliness is the part nobody puts in the pitch deck. Fast decisions are nice until you need someone to tell you the idea is off — and there's nobody in the room.
@magicbrad Yeah. On a screen you can ghost mid-sentence and pretend it didn't happen. In the same room that pause sits between you — and somehow that's when people actually decide if they trust each other.
@ibrahim_ashiah Yeah. Building was the clean part. The messy part starts the first time a real person doesn't get it — and you realize the site never explained what you meant.
@kingatod Same with building. The product is one thing. Keeping track of what you promised people in a room — that's the part that wakes you up at night.
