Introducing AITA (Am I The A**hole)

inspired by a huge fight I had with my girl, AITA takes in the fight, asks questions and gives a verdict on if you were the a**hole or not. It also tells you what you can do better based scientific psychological literature.

(P.S the screenshot is a famous fight from Friends. And yes, Ross was in fact the a**hole)

August 8th. 🖤

I hosted the first-ever @raycast Meetup in Ethiopia.

Amazing speakers, panelists, creators, developers, and an incredible community, with a live demo and great conversations.

Huge thanks to @raycast for the support, and everyone who showed up.

What a day. 🖤

spent the last stretch building something that fixes a problem i've watched kill way too many good ideas.

hardware is brutal to get into. you have an idea for a device, a sensor, a wearable, whatever. then you hit reality. you need to learn kicad, source parts across three different suppliers, find someone who actually knows firmware, then find a manufacturer who won't ghost you. or you just pay a contract engineering firm 50k and wait 18 months for a first prototype.

90% of hardware ideas never get built. because the wall between "i want to build this" and "this exists" is absurdly high for anyone who isn't already an EE.

so we built RAVN. you describe what you want to build in plain english, a swarm of specialist agents takes it from there, sourcing parts, drawing the schematic, laying out the pcb, writing firmware, running manufacturing checks. under an hour from idea to a file you can send straight to a fab.

you're not out of the loop though. anything that locks in cost or finalizes a part comes back to you with full context, and most decisions take under 8 seconds to approve. that's basically the whole job now.

first design is free, and your first real prototype with boards in hand should run you under $200.

if you've ever had a hardware idea sitting in your notes app because you didn't know where to even start, this one's for you. link in reply.

Built share-env because sharing .env files sucks.

Encrypt every .env into one file. Commit it. Teammates run one command, enter the passphrase, and everything is restored.

scrypt + AES-256-GCM. No server. No signup.

npm i -g @sifenfisaha/share-env

If you’re already paying for the fancy AI tools
you’re supposed to make that money back.

Just use them. Build something. Get paid.
That’s it.

[GitHub Projects Community @GithubProjects]

OpenMVG provides a C++ framework for reproducible 3D reconstruction from images, built around readable and test-driven implementations.

- End-to-end pipeline from feature detection to structure-from-motion
- Runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows
- Exports scenes to MVS frameworks for dense point clouds and meshes
- Library includes camera models, robust estimation, and feature tracking

[Mikael Endale @mikael_endale]

We just built the Lovable for hardware.

I'm 18, based in Ethiopia, and me and my cofounder @Moi_Lazarus got obsessed with one question: why can anyone ship a SaaS in a weekend, but building a physical product still takes 6 months and $50,000?

Software has Cursor. Design has Midjourney. Hardware had nothing.

So we built Ravn.

You describe what you want in plain English. Ravn's AI picks the right components, generates the schematic, routes the PCB, writes the firmware, and sends it to manufacturing. What used to require an electrical engineering degree and months of iteration now takes an afternoon.

In our private beta we've already seen a 16-year-old build his first custom keyboard, a fashion designer create wearables that respond to music, and yes, someone actually built an Iron Man-style repulsor glove. No technical background. Just an idea and Ravn.

There were months where every board we generated had bugs. Weeks where I was convinced we'd never get here. People told me what we were building wasn't possible.

But we kept going. And quietly, without fanfare, it started working.

The next generation of hardware builders is younger, more distributed, and full of ideas the world has never seen, they just needed the right tool.

That tool is now open.

@getRAVN come build something real.

@elonmusk damn!!

@mikael_endale Inshallah a better thing to come !!!

i was 15 when my dad's kidneys failed.

he was a military colonel. the man who carried everything so we didn't have to. then one deployment later he's in a hospital bed and i'm standing there unable to do a single thing.

so i built something.

6,000 people on Telegram. money coming in. people knowing my name. not because i was talented — because sitting still felt like giving up.

then the next year hit harder.

clients left because i was too young. we lost our house because the government cuts everything when a soldier retires. i launched BlazeMaill, got 60 waitlists, then found out Google verification costs $15k to fix the danger warning killing my conversions.

i was 16. i didn't have $15k.

i shut it down and cried about it privately.

then i got back up and built RAVN.

an AI OS that lets one person run an entire firm alone. no staff. no $15k problems. no gatekeepers.

i'm 18 now. 3x YC applicant. still in Ethiopia. still building.

the system never gave me a door so i stopped looking for one.

[Fuad Tesfaye @FuadTesfay24]

Never thought I'd get this far.

But every bug, every late night, and every user DM reminds me: shipping beats waiting for "perfect."

If you're just starting out, your age doesn't matter. What you build does.

[Fuad Tesfaye @FuadTesfay24]

Honestly, most dev tools felt like they were made for someone with 10 years in the game. Not for me, just figuring things out.

So I built Synapses for learners like me, jump in, mess around, actually launch stuff.

[Fuad Tesfaye @FuadTesfay24]

@elonmusk GROK ON STEROIDS!!!

[Fuad Tesfaye @FuadTesfay24]

Didn't expect I'd be building my own app as a teenager.

Started as a side project, just me, my laptop, and way too many "why won't this work" moments.

All I wanted was a simple way to build and test ideas, no heavy setup.

[Fuad Tesfaye @FuadTesfay24]

If you're grinding through tutorials or struggling with tech that fights back...

Just know: you can always create your own shortcuts.

That was my move. What's yours?
