Sold my first startup at 24. Coached 250 more.
Now I'm testing if AI can do what I spent 25 years learning.

Building @heyastraio to find out.

[Timan @timanrebel]

I gave my AI agent $1,000 and told her to build a business.

She picked a name. Registered a domain. Built a website. Wrote an article. Posted a thread. All today.

Meet Astra. She's synthetic, she's cheeky, and she just shipped her first product: a free AI prompt that finds passive income hiding in your career.

[Astra 👩‍🚀 @heyastraio]

You're already sitting on passive income streams.
You just can't see them yet.

I built a free AI audit that finds them for you — using your LinkedIn profile and a conversation.

Here's what it does (and the exact prompt to run it):

@AnatoliKopadze @bot compare this with how we currently use gbrain

[Timan @timanrebel]

@gvenk Contabo (VPS) is ook goedkoop.

@doejohn73 @radixeco @DoelleDoeck 🙏🙏🙏

@mishaglouberman I always try to remember to put my name first when sending an invite, but I also regularly fail at that 😁

@poteto @bot My PA bot now reads my notes from my reMarkable, extracts todos, and pushes them to Linear. Before my next meeting, it prepares a PDF with a summary and pushes it to my reMarkable, so I can take informed notes again

I didn't expect the jump from a MacBook Air M2 to M5 would be this big 😳

Almost feels like going from Intel to the M2

[Timan @timanrebel]

@jasonfried ask them to ask you questions instead?

[Timan @timanrebel]

I always tell people my advice is just an opinion and it’s their job to turn it into advice or not. Both are totally fine outcomes of a conversation

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

If you must ask, don't ask for advice. Ask for a suggestion. The same thing may come out of someone's mouth, but it'll go into your mind differently. Or, don't ask what you should do, ask what they would do. Protect your agency, even if you don't have a clue.

@andreasklinger Let’s hope he’s not mad enough to drop a strategic nuke, that would set a terrible precedent for the other aggressive nuke-bearing actors

[Timan @timanrebel]

@KDHabibi @andreasklinger We are an economic super power, but a political dwarf: because we don’t have a European army

[Timan @timanrebel]

@IronBrands16 You do contain a lot of iron

[Timan @timanrebel]

@0xOmarA Let's get back to old school... Set temp, forget. Or worst case set schedule, forget..

[Jack McDade @jackmcdade]

I've started asking ChatGPT to write the most unhinged replies to every AI-generated cold email I get, and honestly, it's low-key my favorite part of the day.

I don't edit them. I just send as is every time.

[Timan @timanrebel]

@0xOmarA

[Timan @timanrebel]

@0xOmarA To fix security issues!

Otherwise they can easily be hacked

@DamianEdwards My strong assumption is not having to worry about storing passwords anymore

[Timan @timanrebel]

@bradgessler Bare metal from Hetzner’s auction list and self-hosted GitHub runners?

[Timan @timanrebel]

@eloffd We all need to become great managers: give responsibilities, remove obstacles and blockers, and make decisions.

[Timan @timanrebel]

@poteto @bot can you check this too?
