Today I learnt that no matter how shitty your ideas are, if you just keep on grinding it through, you will eventually have some people paying for it

@cyvanessali Well said

@goldjesse10 Sick shit bro, any learnings you'd love to share? Would love to keep track of your learnings

[Sean @WtsSeanBuilding]

@robmur_ @mcuban "You miss 100% of the shot you don't take"

Well done! Also curious, what were your learnings from the NFT journey?

[Sean @WtsSeanBuilding]

@merket How can one get featured here? Love the concept

@mackenziejem What the this would be one of the biggest breakthrough in science ever if true

POV:

You decided to let claude do its own things and you wake up to a frozen mac with 20k tabs

@aleabitoreddit What if they are secretly just allies?

[Sean @WtsSeanBuilding]

Cold take: most “AI productivity” tools are useless.

AI is only useful when it sits inside workflow and can suck out context fast.

YC call this company brain, most teams can implement it within 1 day without buying external SaaS:

1. Get your APIs ready
2. Throw them to claude
3. Ask it to decide what data it wants to pull and why
4. Build your visual interface so you can understand what's popping

That's it, great way to save money from useless AI tools, if you then connect them to the action layer you can entirely skip the AI slop era and actually be productive.

P.S. We automated 70% of our daily work at Gingercontrol & Peony through these methods, those who can't do it are just lazy

@CyberCatX 举个例子呢？

[Sean @WtsSeanBuilding]

YC is approaching Demo Day, and the top performers are already reaching $1m+ ARR.

Almost all of them are navigating $50k-$250k ACV deals with a nearly identical post-demo motion:

1. Create a clean buyer workspace right after the first serious call using Peony or DocSend
2. Organize everything around how the buyer evaluates: ROI, security, legal, implementation, pricing
3. Write short summaries so champions can forward internally without rewriting the pitch
4. Index docs, enable AI for faster due diligence.
5. Track which stakeholders are engaging and what they care about
6. Follow up based on actual buyer intent, not guesswork

Outbound gets you into the conversation, but the best teams make it incredibly easy for the buyer to build consensus internally.

Spend 5 hours/ week doing these properly, and you will be a Top YC batch company quickly.

@CyberCatX 那，要怎么革命呢？做什么，才算是拥抱了新的范式呢？

It's never too late to start!

Funny how life goes about, it turns out we were both burnt out from tech for a variety of reason, but now we are working together on something that's been taking off lately 😂

I don't even know why I want to retweet this, but here we go, life goes around!

Bro went through the trench himself and gave some genuine advice to those who are also in the trenches

Christmas is for reflections!
