Built a business. Lost it. Built again.
Now I say the things founders whisper in private.
Every tweet is a lesson I and others paid for.

If adoption is slow, remove steps. Remove friction. Remove doubt.

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@Gorvmishra The new reality, founders building what don't need. We currently live in FOMO times.

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@kylegawley Respect for saying this out loud. Most people just quietly become successful and miserable and call it 'sacrifice.'

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@Jason Half true. AI made 'good, cheap, fast' possible for commodity work, code boilerplate, first drafts, templated content. Nobody's shipped a genuinely novel product this way yet. Judgment is still the constraint.

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@npew I disagree. AI can write code. It can't own outages at 3am, make architecture tradeoffs under pressure, or tell you your product is technically unscalable before you raise on it. That's still a technical cofounder's job.

@Tekeee The scary part isn't the job. It's that most people plan their entire retirement around a company that would replace them in 48 hours.

@Polymarket You can't outsmart the creator.

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@unfilteredDas There's no such thing as irreplaceable in the real world, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

@SirJarus Notice none of the 4 "types" involve talking to a customer. That's why most of them stay a personality, not a business.

The sad thing now is how unemployed people host seminars to teach unemployed people on how to get jobs.

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

Employer: we need someone to grow with us.

An employee who have been betrayed many times: sorry I'm not here for that I just need to get paid, I'm only loyal to the pay.

@folaoftech Just learn to manage chaos.

@thenowhereway Distribution is king. Everything rise and fall on distribution.

@1Umairshaikh The best validation is user feedback.

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@kelvinbuildss My neighbor said customers don't have choice that your products create choice.

@dagorenouf Side project is for unhappy people

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@ben_sage You forgot the part where you need access to the rich and convince them to trust your product for their operation.

[Startup savage @startupsavage]

@TTrimoreau The question should be how many products have seen success?
