Hear me out…

Two years back I joined X because I was tired….

Tired of jobs being posted on LinkedIn and within 1 hour of that, 100s of people had already applied. Everyone on LinkedIn was fake, trying to show how they were well-rounded and highly skilled. I barely made any REAL connections there.

Tired of tech influencers on Instagram saying, “COMMENT HI AND I WILL SEND YOU THIS IN YOUR DM,” just to increase their reach. I kept following them, commenting on their reels, getting the material in my DMs, and never really looking at it.

Then there was the cold email era where you send out 1000s of cold emails to recruiters, startup founders, and people in tech to either get a job or get some assistance for your startup. But let’s be honest, out of those 1000 emails, only 10–15 people (max) would reply.

But then there was X, where everyone is just being themselves. Even the most skilled people in your domain feel reachable here. Yes, there are a lot of shitposters, but there are also people who are really, really working hard and building something.

Hence, @shrav_10 and I are creating an X Chat for everyone interested in STARTUPS or TECH, where there will be only REAL tech talk.

We all can post important resources, job openings, and literally even collaborate and discuss startup ideas.

If you’re willing to actually GROW and NETWORK with the right kind of people here on X, then comment/quote/repost anything on this post and I’ll add you to the group chat.

Like I said, the right guidance and network can change your life forever!

@asemota Yeah, AI integration to healthcare and other essential services is Soo relatively sparse basically everywhere. I'd be curious to know what you think about AI in education within the continent.

Be your self, not someone you were assigned to be!

Bezos won on time horizon, not AWS or 1-Click.

If your bets have to work in 3 years, you compete with everyone. Every smart, funded team is chasing the same 3-year problems. Short horizon, crowded field.

Stretch to 7 and the field collapses. Investors want returns, employees want vesting, founders want proof. Almost nobody can sit in a bet that doesn't pay for most of a decade. The patience is the moat, and it costs you, that's why it works.

But you can't fake a 7-year horizon on a problem you don't actually care about. Pick the users and the problem Moloch assigned you, the safe ones, the fundable ones, and you'll bail the first hard year. Pick the ones that are actually yours and you'll still be there when everyone else has quit.

So the real prerequisite isn't discipline. It's knowing yourself well enough to choose a problem and a set of people you care about that you'll serve them for decades.

@velvetistired Very true

[David Mutua @dmutua01]

@sharbel Also generating tests first before implementation is a very solid gamechanger

@NdemoKelvin This is what tests are for

@redaction Both hemispheres perceive the environment differently, that is to say the Brain becomes two Units. But the Mind remains One.

saw an inspiring video that said you need to have 4 hobbies.

create, consume, cavort, commune

create: bring something to life consume: appreciate the art of another cavort: move your body daily commune: have a community to socialize with
