Never quit as a founder. I’m begging you.
It’s 0 for longer than you’ll ever expect. No momentum. Soul-crushing doubts. Nobody seems to care. Even when it looks like it’s working, it’s not. You keep trying new things. You don’t lose hope.
Then it snaps to 100. You finally find the one thing that resonates. You wake up with more customers than you can handle. Everything is breaking. Momentum keeps building even when you’re not pushing. Something changed.
You didn’t get lucky, you just didn’t leave.

applying to jobs is the dumbest shit you can ever do.
i learned the hard way. dmed a 1000 recruiters/engineers. did 670 apps. didn't get me anything.
cause its not equally distributed: the top 10% of people take 90% of the jobs.
it's the same everywhere else. the hottest girl gets 90% of the guys. the largest artist gets 90% of the streams.
so this past year i stopped wasting time on applying and started doing whatever gave me the biggest impact. did hella trips to sf/nyc, built products, did content, made friends.
and soon the dynamic flipped. jan-may, 83 recruiters dmed me. ai labs, yc companies, unicorns.
it's a winner-takes-all world. you have no choice but to become the winner. or waste away your life fighting for scraps.
A private hospital in Abuja said I needed surgery and was trying to pressure me to do it with them immediately. I wasn’t sure and my family wasn’t comfortable.
My Madam reminded me that in the UK, there is a mandatory cooling off period of 14 days between when you are told that you need surgery and when you actually have it, unless it’s a life-threatening emergency. The cooling off period enables you to decide whether you want to go ahead with it or not.
The surgeon asked me whether I was afraid of him and I said No, it’s the anaesthetist I am afraid of. He asked why and I said that I had just heard too many stories.
To the obvious disappointment of his clinic manager who had already started to process HMO approvals, I decided to get other opinions. Getting a second opinion elsewhere and a third opinion abroad, it turned out that I didn’t need any surgery at all. Na waa!

What about you?
It's my birthday today! 🎉
To close the year, my team and I shipped our new website design and made this video (video came earlier though).
What do you all think?
P.S. I'd love some feedback on the design: https://t.co/u5lrZPvkKv
Still trying to understand how people go about decorating and renovating their homes.
If you’re a homeowner or renter, do share what would be a great home decorating/renovating experience for you here: https://t.co/sFwyYiWICO
Hey! What do you all think about an app that for home decor and remodeling that takes you from idea to execution in an hour or less?
Especially if you often do big decor changes or remodels.
Do you think waitlists are becoming obsolete for B2C?
I mean I’ve had a bunch of folks reach me out directly and say, I’d love to sign up for this, let me know when it’s out (sometimes they even follow up to know the status), but they won’t join the waitlist.
