@YashHustle_22 yes, the coding is a tiny part in that process

don’t follow me @desunit

unless you want more of this

AI massively increased shipping capacity but not learning capacity.

I think many founders are about to learn this the hard way.

Startups can build:
- prototypes
- apps
- agents
- workflows
- landings

The dopamine is incredible. Right?

But do they know where they're heading? A lot of teams confuse movement with progress now.

AI removed many engineering constraints that used to force prioritization naturally.

Before:
building was expensive and that kind of forces you ... to think

Now:
building is cheap and that multiply chaos

You can literally produce more product surface area than your company can mentally understand and that creates a very modern startup disease:

- nonstop shipping
- impressive demos
- exhausted teams
- endless roadmap
- thousands of messages in Slack
... and no increasing clarity

Let’s get back to the basics:

1️⃣ goal
2️⃣ roadmap
3️⃣ build
4️⃣ launch
5️⃣ KPI review
6️⃣ go to #1

and not:
1️⃣ idea
2️⃣ ship
3️⃣ go to #1

Fast shipping without learning creates digital hoarding and the product gains weight without intelligence.

And this is where founders misunderstand the AI era badly:

Product judgment matters MORE now.
Not less.

Because when everybody can build fast:

- understand humans well
- identify the real bottleneck
- extract signal from noise
- make clean decisions repeatedly
- taste matters

AI amplifies organizational quality.

Good teams learn faster and weak teams create confusion faster.

The best founders increasingly ask:

What do we know now?

instead of:

What else can we build?

"more shots on goal" only matters if your aim improves over time; otherwise you’re just emptying the magazine faster.

The companies that win in the AI era probably won’t be the ones producing the most but the ones becoming smarter after every release.

@buddy7 @gregisenberg 2 book / week?! you are my hero!

[desunit @desunit]

@buddy7 @gregisenberg I'd also add here active reading skill but it's a huge topic that :D

[desunit @desunit]

@philosophymeme0 Don Quixote. I read it not so long ago, and that guy reminds me of him.

[desunit @desunit]

@nikitabier Nice one!

@Bella_91m7u It's not 16 and this is where the trick here. You need to keep in mind that exponent is calculated BEFORE the minus sign. The answer 16 will be if we see (-5)^2

[desunit @desunit]

@timsoulo @ahrefs Thanks! #1 was so expected as #5 was unexpected (according to recent hype)

Thanks to @Microsoft for freeing up some GPUs for us. Back to work, guys.

[desunit @desunit]

@7xuanlux @appfigures yes, it’s like having a marketing department at your fingertips

[desunit @desunit]

Surprised nobody had built an MCP server for @appfigures - not even Appfigures themselves.

So I made one 🛠️

I run a bunch of apps (Piano Companion, ChordIQ, KidTeller, MathIt…) and now I just ask Claude: how did they do last month? sales/revenue/reviews across App Store + Google Play

@internetarchiva At least now we know who should be blamed for TikTok dances.

[desunit @desunit]

@RaminNasibov Dune!!!

[desunit @desunit]

I love it, but wearing both hats of coding and marketing can be tough. You really have to be strict with yourself to manage your time effectively, especially if you’re going solo. There was a great book that talks about how to handle this. I wrote a post about it a while back:

The @verge is relentless! A new article today:

I haven’t seen anything as stupid as the WeWork IPO document in a very long time — that is, until Elon Musk filed to take SpaceX public. WeWork was a joke. SpaceX is a threat. And if Musk and his bankers have their way, you are going to be their bagholder.

[desunit @desunit]

It’s funny how Verge keeps criticizing @elonmusk. But let’s be fair: where it gets things wrong is that it treats SpaceX almost like a meme stock and focuses too heavily on its inflated valuation:

- Starlink is ALREADY a real global business with growing recurring revenue
- International expansion effectively turns it into a major US export business.
- SpaceX has a strong moat because it controls both satellite production and launches
- Aviation, maritime, mobile connectivity, and defense contracts could become large businesses (just take a look at Palantir!)

SpaceX is not another WeWork... not even close
