Please, do shit completely unprepared

Before taking anyone's opinion about AI into consideration, think: "Does this person make money from a specific narrative about AI?"

Genuine question:

what makes an account feel high-signal to you?

Not famous.
Not viral.

High-signal.

For me it is usually when I can tell the person is building, testing, and not just repeating whatever is trending this week.

@cgtwts Maybe the "Make Claude Opus 5, make no mistakes" is not only a meme.

I am starting to think the best accounts to engage with are not always the biggest ones.

Sometimes it is the person with 2k followers, building in public, replying to people, and actually thinking through the problem.

Small account, high signal.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Some people here are clearly building.

Some people are clearly performing.

The hard part is learning to tell the difference fast.

Follower count helps a little, but honestly, it also lies a lot.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Question for people building on X:

would you rather have a tool that helps you write better posts

or

a tool that tells you which people are actually worth engaging with?

I keep thinking the second one is more underrated.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Brutal observation:

a lot of “AI for growth” tools are just fancy autocomplete.

They help you sound better.

Cool.

But if you are talking to the wrong person, at the wrong time, under the wrong post, the better wording doesn’t matter that much.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

I think a lot of AI tools for social media are starting from the easiest part.

Writing.

But writing is not really the bottleneck anymore.

The harder part is knowing who is worth talking to in the first place.

If you are a visual learner, you HAVE to use excalidraw, it is amazing and open source.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Be honest:

how do you decide if someone here is worth connecting with?

I usually look at:

what they are building
how they reply
whether their posts feel original
if they seem serious or just loud

What am I missing?

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Reframe:

posting more is not always the answer.

If you are posting to the wrong people, you are just collecting random feedback faster.

Same thing with replies.

A good reply under the wrong post is still basically invisible.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Weird question:

do you think X is better for finding customers, partners, or just other people building?

I’m starting to think the answer depends way more on who you reply to than what you post.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Genuine question for founders:

when someone follows you or replies to you here, what makes you actually check their profile?

Their bio?
Their product?
Their reply?
Their pinned post?
Mutuals?

Curious because I think most people optimize the wrong part.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Man, follower count is such a lazy signal.

I keep finding small accounts where the person is clearly building something serious.

Then I open huge accounts and it is just the same 5 takes rewritten forever.

I am starting to think the real signal is what someone notices.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

New month, same question:

where are the real builders hiding here?

Not the loudest people.
Not the biggest accounts.
Not the ones recycling the same AI takes every day.

The ones actually building something useful.

[Pedro Hang @hangpedro]

Genuine question:

what makes you actually follow someone here?

For me it is usually when I see a few posts and think:

“ok, this person is noticing things I care about”

Not necessarily viral.
Not necessarily famous.
Just clearly paying attention.
