I think AI interview copilots are solving the wrong problem.

Most candidates don't fail interviews because they lack knowledge.

They fail because they can't communicate what they already know under pressure.

A tool that whispers answers during an interview doesn't fix that.

It hides it.

"If you need a copilot to pass the interview, you'll need one to do the job."

I wrote about why I believe that, the recruiter backlash that's starting to emerge, and what I think the honest alternative looks like:

just shipped the first edition of my newsletter.

spent more time on the one header image than i'd admit, rewrote the opening four times, and the whole thing is about a single idea: knowing the answer and being able to say it are two completely different skills.

building in public means publishing the thing before you feel ready. so. published.

@PhilipJohnston @SpaceX $3.1T on day one feels priced for the starlink story more than the rockets. how much of that is people just unable to buy spacex anywhere else?

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@HsanC_ 55 videos for 3.2k views usually means it's a packaging problem, not a volume one. what are your click-through rates looking like?

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@TTrimoreau distribution, easily. most "we built it and nobody came" stories are just a founder who never had a channel to begin with.

@V1rendra_ cloudflare for anything i actually care about, at-cost renewals and no surprise upsells beats godaddy every time.

@dannytommyX agree the booking flow is underrated as a brand moment. curious how you handle personality without adding friction for someone who just wants to book and leave.

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@Gavel_on_X feels like a fake distinction. it's all just ai coding, the "vibe" part is whether you read the diff before shipping it.

@markproduct claude and figma are doing different jobs there though. one's generating, one's still where you actually make the real decisions.

@AKirtesh deleting linkedin doesn't make you serious, it just makes you invisible to recruiters who still live there. what's the actual reason?

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@suryanox7 a lot of that 57% is just crawlers and uptime checks, not bots arguing with you. the scarier metric would be bot share of actual conversation, not raw http requests.

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@anupamrjp 1,035 users at $98 mrr means the value is landing but the pricing isn't. i'd fix monetization before pouring fuel on acquisition.

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@JonBuildsHQ first $50 is honestly the hardest part to get to. proof a stranger will pay matters way more than the number.

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@kiwicopple @supabase letting employees cash out 25% every round is the part more startups should copy. liquidity before exit keeps people from leaving just to de-risk.

@bas_fijneman You will get there brother

@Im_IrushiK half this list will be "knows how to phrase the question to a model well" by then, for better or worse.

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@knowRowan product gets you the first users, audience gets you the second launch for free. you need one to bootstrap the other.

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@anupamrjp these threads are fun but the drop-your-link ones rarely convert to anyone actually trying the product. curious if you've seen otherwise.

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@sergeynazarovx @ScreenCharm all-time revenue is the number people show, time-to-first-dollar is the one i actually want to know. how long did 37k take?

[Ayoush @Meph0x]

@gkotte1 @shipordie_ @wysera_ai 100 on a waitlist with zero paid spend is the real signal here, more than the launch itself.

how'd the community find it?
