Posted this quick little walkthrough on IG, and already at 1 million views in a couple hours.
These guys came up to me at @MainStSummit a few days ago. They offered to give me a tour. Wow.
I think we’re about to see a huge surge in these types of business models as AI continues to disrupt the economy and makes us reevaluate the meaning of work, and working with our hands.
What other crafts and activities could you build a membership experience around?

a few ideas…
i deleted instagram about 5 years ago, so i had almost forgotten what it feels like to have it in your life
watching people around me use it now feels strange
you end up checking the daily lives of people you haven’t seen in ten years, people you probably wouldn’t even stop to talk to if you crossed them on the street.
random people from your past become permanent background characters in your mind.
then add the fact that a huge part of instagram is effectively a dating product
if you’re already in a long-term relationship, keeping that constant stream of attention, comparison and other people’s lives in your head has destroyed countless couples
after being off it for years, the whole thing looks much more extreme from the outside.
I’ve had 100s of engineers and new college grads ask me how to get a job at Apple. I tell them to go ship an app in the App Store and then I’d promise to at least hop on a call with them. Only 2 ever got back to me with a shipped app.
Most people won’t put in the work. Go put in the work.
Whatever you are studying, always keep a parallel portfolio of the things you create. A research result. A robot. A company. A piece of hardware. The world is becoming more interested in evidence of agency.
Marriage will humble you because eventually your spouse will see you fail.
They will see you when you're broke, sick, stressed, insecure, unemployed, overweight, depressed about life or completely unsure about what to do next.
The question is not whether your spouse will ever see you at your lowest.
They will.
The real question is what kind of person they become when you are no longer impressive.
Anybody can love you when life is easy character is revealed when life becomes ugly.
SpaceXAI engineers spent 9 hours building a company from zero on camera . and this is a 3-page digital guide
everything they did, in the order they did it:
> how to pick what to build with nothing on the table: ask publicly, collect the replies, then build a bot to read the pile instead of scrolling it yourself
> the frame every idea gets tested against who is the customer, what is their pain, what is it worth to them
> the org before the product: a GitHub org, a company landing page, and a product domain deliberately left unnamed
> day one's stack end to end deploy on Vercel, hello@ on the company domain, a waitlist writing into a database with a confirmation mail back
> the full bot roster, plus the column nobody publishes: what each bot still needed a human for
> the three rules they ran the whole day on: ship straight to main, respect the auto-review, ask before sending mail
> the entire nine hours on one timeline, 00:00 to 08:43
three sheets. print them, or keep them open while you build.
nine hours of stream, three pages of work.
