"the gap between you and someone who knows more is usually just time, not intelligence"

[Mr. Buzzoni @polydao]

Vasilios Syrakis is back

after the massive success of his Atlassian video, he just dropped a follow-up addressing everything

the stuff people really wanted to know:

> no university degree, dropped out after 10th grade, started in help desk
> taught himself everything from scratch - books, videos, no mentor
> he didn't break any NDA - Atlassian published more detailed info themselves
> the architecture was 10 years old - he'd build it completely differently today

and the thing that hit hardest:

> to everyone who felt impostor syndrome watching his first video - he said the gap between you and someone who knows more is usually just time, not intelligence

the full response is above

and he's building a control plane from scratch on camera soon so you can see exactly how it's done

the biggest ai skill is actually taste

ai makes it easy to generate ideas, content, designs, apps, workflows - basically anything

but when you can create 10 versions in seconds, the hard part becomes knowing:
- what’s actually good
- what’s worth building
- what should never exist in the first place

ai is raising the floor for everyone

taste and judgment are what still determine the ceiling

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

“agent harness” has suddenly become one of those ai terms i keep seeing everywhere lately

curious - what’s the simplest way you’d explain it to a non-technical person?

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

content is saturated

most of the internet is just filled with people repeating the same things in slightly different formats

what feels rare is finding people who actually know what they’re talking about.

people with real experience, taste, opinions and who can explain something in their own way instead of sounding like an ai summary of everyone else

back in 2020, the advantage was just showing up early

now the advantage is whether people trust your perspective enough to keep listening

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

@gauravsbuilding is it just delivering the face value of a specific influencer?

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

stripe posted a new ai role for marketing called “forward deployed ai accelerator, marketing”

the job is basically:
- study how marketers work
- find repetitive tasks worth automating
- build ai tools and workflows around them
- help teams actually use ai consistently

each person works with a group of ~20 marketers and turns successful ai experiments into repeatable processes for the wider team.

interesting part is the role sits between marketing, ops, ai tooling, enablement, and change management

companies are hiring people whose entire job is helping teams change how work gets done with ai

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

any enterprise grade prompting based agents or automations tool out there?

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

i’ve been exploring different ways to build with ai lately-and something keeps coming up

tools like claude code or codex are powerful-but the workflow is still pretty developer-focused

you’re expected to set up a lot before anything actually runs-prompt files, codebase, integrations, scripts

it works-but it takes time and resources most teams don’t really have

that’s why no-code automation and agent builders feel more practical-faster to start, less setup

i tried a couple of tools recently-will share a quick video soon

what no-code automation or agent tools are you using?

chatgpt's voice-to-text feels more refined than claude’s

it's cleaner, faster, and way more accurate

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

@AroraBhavyam most of them have already announced so it’s already official and there’s nothing leaked

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

how are you keeping up? 🙂

[Claude @claudeai]

Claude can now connect to more of the apps you use outside of work, including @Tripadvisor, @bookingcom, @resy, @Instacart, @Spotify, @audible_com, @AllTrails, @thumbtack, Intuit @turbotax, and more.

when projects run out of ideas to drive engagement or traction, they start farming it through hiring posts.

[Bleap @BleapApp]

we're hiring

fyi, we recently raised $6million so have money to blow on people that bring value

if you fit within marketing, social media, unemployment or just want a side hustle, then we want you to join us

if the below resonates, you can get started today. Free money is waiting for you.

kind regards,

Bleap intern

Huawei’s Pura 90 series comes with AI Posture Recommendations for better photos.

THIS is how AI is supposed to be used.

Yea, it’s way more useful than Google’s camera coach slop.

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

@derekhalpern they just don’t want to let you make a direct contact with creator and let go their management fee on that deal

old crypto marketer vs new crypto marketer

[niko @saintniko]

i think crypto marketing is going to change quite a bit soon

"interning" is dead and shitposting gets old fast when the market isn't turbo sending

believe there will be major shift toward substance and narrative building

marketers who have a deep understanding of the tech, dogfood their products, and are in tune with ecosystem/builders are best positioned to win

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

i use chatgpt for creating prompts for claude, grok and notebooklm

[rashi mittal @irashimittal]

hiring purely for skills is overrated imo

in many cases, candidates with slightly less technical depth but strong social skills and easy to collab can be a better bet

because today it’s not just about execution, it’s about how well one communicates, shares, adapts and contributes to distribution

employee led marketing is real, and people who are easy to work with and visible online can drive far more impact than just “strong” individual contributors
