Today we burned through our AI credits.

Not metaphorically.

Actually burned through them.

When we started building Ostrya AI, I was mostly running on the Codex Max plan.

Then launch got close.

So for this deadline, we bought the $200 Claude subscription too.

Today, that ran out.

And instead of slowing down, we decided to invest in the deadline and get another one.

So now we’re basically rolling with 3 premier AI models, all maxed out, all the expensive stuff.

A year ago, I would have probably overthought this.

“Is it worth it?”
“Are we spending too much?”
“Can we manage with less?”
But the more I build, the more I’m realizing:
Good tools are not expenses when the constraint is speed.

They are leverage.

Especially when you are trying to compress months of product work into days.

Of course, AI does not magically build the product for you.

You still need taste.
You still need engineering judgment.
You still need to know what to ask, what to reject, what to debug, and what to ship.

But with the right workflow, it genuinely feels like one engineer can move with the output of a small team.

My current lesson:
Do not be cheap with tools that increase your rate of learning, building, and shipping.
Set a hard deadline.

Invest in the leverage.

Then make it impossible for yourself to not move.

6 days left for launch.

Scene tight hai, but we move.

Sanya, Raghav, and I are building Ostrya AI.

Launch date: 15 June.

The task is honestly a little insane.

They’re handling distribution, customers, brand, deals, and market understanding.

I’m building the product:
course builder, website builder, and a secret sauce we haven’t seen other platforms do properly.
Everything AI (ofc, because it's Dhruv Bakshi)

For too long, we were thinking in a shell.

Now we’re putting it out there.

6 days left.

Not fully sure how we’ll pull it off.

But ab bol diya toh karna hi hai.

Whatever it takes.

Hey Guys!!
Would love for you all to help me gain some clarity on career growth and community.

Here is the survey: https://t.co/LWjEDIL7WN

Go answer please!!

[Dhruv Bakshi @DramaticDhruv]

If yes, what usually stops them from doing it? I’m especially trying to understand whether course creation itself is the real entry barrier, or whether the bigger blocker is something else.

If you could turn your expertise/ knowledge into your legacy, would you ?

[Dhruv Bakshi @DramaticDhruv]

I’d love to understand this problem from a coaching transformation, credibility, and learner-outcomes perspective: if professionals in your world wanted to turn their expertise into something more scalable, would they actually want to create a structured learning offer?

[Dhruv Bakshi @DramaticDhruv]

I’m exploring an early-stage idea around helping professionals turn their advice and expertise into a course, webinar, cohort, or other scalable learning product without making the process feel overwhelming.

[Dhruv Bakshi @DramaticDhruv]

How are people running online courses these days for youtube?
Home setup vs professional edtech studio ?
Would you rent out a studio having mic , camera ,smartboard etc. all the needed stuff or is home setup is enough ?

[Dhruv Bakshi @DramaticDhruv]

Laptop or above

🚨 New @a16z thesis: building websites / apps with AI

There's been an explosion of products that help users "vibe code" a web app from text prompts.

We dove deep on these tools - who's using them, how they work, and where they might be headed.
