Bay Area founders — I'll be around in July and would love to meet more builders ☕️

About me:
• Ex-ByteDance PM, quit job to be an indie hacker
• Tsinghua Architecture graduate

Building:
🎙️ Podguest (AI podcast co-host)
📈 What2Post (daily TikTok content inspiration)

Things I enjoy:
☕️ Moka pot coffee
🏍️ Motorcycles
🏊 Swimming

If you're building something, running a podcast, or growing a creator account, let's chat.
Coffee is on me.
If the conversation gets longer, dinner is on me 🤣

I can also help with PM resumes/interviews, or just give product feedback.

This post is evergreen for July — if you're in SF / the Bay Area, my DMs are open.

To embrace the AI slot in job application or to totally abandon AI and turn to human recruitment, this is a question.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

The landing page for this AI job auto-applier has Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe, and NVIDIA jobs as demonstrations. No doubt it will apply to them.

Just know that those very top tier jobs are pretty much *impossible* to get via cold application, b/c of tools like this (as well!)

in San Jose, you can even listen to someone giving Chinese panel.

It’s so impressive how many Chinese here in Bay Area

San Francisco won’t make startup life easier.
It makes the truth arrive faster.
People here have seen every AI feature. So you learn to sell a better life—not another feature list.
Not every founder needs SF.
But uncertainty does.

nice playbook of graph architect. It explains something I started manually to ask codex do something parallel and merge the result. And I hope to read more practical exercises for non-tech vibe-coder

best places to cowork in sf that aren't corgi/capital one cafe or your apartment complex for the mainstream crowd:

1. any equinox (with the exception of union). you don't need a membership to cowork at the sports location and can take the elevator up to 4th floor. outlets existent, scenery minimalistic.

2. sohn in dogpatch. comfy spots, outlets, and architecturally pleasing to the eye. also their food and drinks are a 10/10. bullish on the melona matcha to the point where 7 of my friends want to try it on beli.

3. lans sf in polk gulch. i don't know how to describe it but it just feels like a friendly space where you don't feel obligated to socialize about what you're building and you can actually just get work done without the fluff (s/o @sigmagirlgrind).

4. binge coffee house. younger crowd, has outlets & bathroom. bonus points for decent drinks & food, very cognizant of cafes in nyc.

5. good question. if you guys have any thirdspace recs for creatives <> engineers <> entrepreneurs would love your thoughts/recs.

if you're in sf, check it out!

After 30 days away from X, my feed becomes more valuable and concentrated.

seems like algorithm is trying its best to find the best contents to attract me

[Yanwen Liu @yanwen_ai]

@jaslaflame I feel it！

[Yanwen Liu @yanwen_ai]

@ryolu_ congrats for your future journey

[Yanwen Liu @yanwen_ai]

I hired ChatGPT to save time. Now it writes the scripts I film, reviews my edits, and tells me what to post. Even this post was its idea.

I thought I was using ChatGPT to build my company. Apparently, ChatGPT is using me to build its personal brand.

60 events in 30 days in SF.

I’ve met some people 4–5 times already—from Corgi Coffee to AI events across the city. Each time, there’s new progress to celebrate.
Founders, investors, and builders from around the world, all sharing openly.
Only in SF. ✨Love to meet you all! @laura_llin @GuoDory19381

@gurvansh99 @su_adeline_k @samakshah @vinayakjjw very inspiring events!

Our app makes $50,000/ week
between IOS and android.

At this rate thats $200,000/mo

This is the exact tool stack we use
to rank #7 and beat companies

That have millions in funding
As a Bootstrapped team of 2

✅ Rork: using fable 5 to update the app and quickly beta test it

✅ FunnelFox for doing web to app funnels and saving close to 30% of apples fees when running meta ads

✅ Higgsgield MCP: for running AI UGC and testing AI ads

✅ Amplitude: tracking all your apps analytics ( onboarding drop off and more )

✅ Singular: MMP for ads

✅ Superwall: for collecting payments in app and a/b testing paywalls

✅ Claude Code: To build internal systems and tools

✅ Sideshift: To hire and pay creators

Using these tools is non-negociable to building a generational app

@mattgittleson breakdown

[Yanwen Liu @yanwen_ai]

I vibe-coded a subtitle translation 2.5 hours before I onboarded the plane.

A vibe coder will vibe-code whenever she can😇

GitHub: sosoall/subtitle_translation

It’s for whom are recording multi-lingual videos. I always record one video and post in both Chinese and English versions. but the multi-lingual subtitle generation of CapCut is inaccurate, that’s why I build this.

[Yanwen Liu @yanwen_ai]

Can anyone help with ChatGPT’s layout? It’s so hard to ready……@chatgpt

[Yanwen Liu @yanwen_ai]

@Brent_Fulfer Bad news for me
