@umarsaif We taught founders how to raise money, not how to build companies.
So success became funding rounds, conference panels, media coverage
Instead of retention, margins, boring, repeatable growth
Vanity metrics replaced fundamentals.
Claude Opus 4.6 took the lead.
30 minutes later, OpenAI dropped Codex 5.3 and took it back.
This wasn’t about “smart chatbots”.
Developers are clearly the battlefield now.

The Magic of Breaking Down Complex Problems
Ever feel stuck looking at a giant coding problem? Try breaking it down into smaller parts. Solve one piece at a time, and watch the big picture come together.

@KhizarKahloon Be an Elephant: Embrace wisdom, patience, and strength. Stay calm and collected, think before acting, and build strong, positive relationships.
Not a Hippopotamus: Avoid being aggressive, unpredictable, and reactive. Don’t let anger or impulsiveness dictate your actions. 😎
@KhizarKahloon Personally, I find Jeff Bezos' decision-making style the most appealing. It offers a balanced approach that adapts to the nature of the decision at hand.
Today we launched the Pakistan Startup Fund (PSF) which will invest up to Rs 2 Billion every year in Pakistani startups. The fund is structured as an equity-free capital to help close a VC round for a startup. PSF is designed to help a startup raise its first external investment.
If you are a startup in Pakistan and a foreign VC is evaluating your startup for a $1 million investment, the VC only needs to invest $700k — the Pakistan Startup Fund will give you a grant of $300k to help close the round. We won’t take any equity/shares in your startup or a board position etc. PSF is designed to lower the risk for international investors to invest in Pakistani startups; once we have written you a cheque, we won’t hassle you at all .. betting on you and your VC investors to drive your success.
With PSF we hope to create a value of at least Rs 50 Billion per year in the startup ecosystem in Pakistan.
