a little bit about me:

this week has been insane.

cut my finger (massive cut btw)
caught a cold and a fever
skipped classes

but fuck it,
we still locked in on claude code

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

3 months of minimal sleep and some billion tokens later…

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

definitely touched some grass this summer

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

locked in…

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

Why AI Will Save The World
By Marc Andreessen

The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out.

Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it.

been doing this for years now haha

I actually think “Snapchat for work” might be a good idea today in big co’s.

Work comms platforms have always followed what teenagers were doing ten years ago (IRC -> Slack).

In the age of AI slop the most efficient form of communication is just short videos of yourself speaking.

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

a top VC validated our idea today, feeling good about the work we have done in the last 3 months

announcing the waitlist next month

taking on some big guys HEAD-ON,
wish us luck🙏🏻

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

had a meeting with a big VC,
he never showed up.

hate when VCs don’t respect founders’ time

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

blood, sweat and tears

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

wow just hit $10000, barely slept this month,
thank you god for this life.

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

snapchat is the new slack for us

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

1.4B tokens, 14 hours, eyes hurt, skipped meals, what a feeling to be just locked in

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

@arlanr dm’d you!

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

first 1 billion day, onto 10 billion now🚀

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

sunday good night date with claudia

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

@justmazer applied. my cofounder's applying right now, really excited for this!

[Sauransh Bhardwaj @sauranshbuilds]

controversial take:

spent 4 hours (virtually) with my cofounder and we reverse-engineered our competitor's entire product

biggest thing we realised was that even startups backed by top VCs are larping at this point and just blatantly vibe coding without proper guardrails
