TLDR: Apps are doing great.

DeepSeek so good.

Why are people entering confrontation with people who literally thrive in confrontation? Read the Art of War. #book #bookrecommendation #politics #opinion #unpopularopinion #question

Great book 📖 Start Small, stay small by Rob Walling Although tbh it should be called Start big, stay big bc sometimes small is big #tech #bookrecommendation #startups #ai #claude #chatgpt

The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth. ~ African proverb

For the past 48 hours, thousands of TikTok users have been posting and sharing videos ostensibly about "cute winter boots." But the phrase is not about footwear. It's algospeak code being used to discuss fighting back against Trump and his draconian immigration policies.

People are panicking about their freedom being taken away. Things are just getting tightened (which is bad ofc), but you were never free to begin with. Your individual #freedom doesn’t benefit anyone, it doesn’t pay. You were just sold the idea that you were free. Different marketing strategy.

You’re only free if you’re disliked. That’s a sure way to know. #books #literature #thoughts #freedomofspeech

I urge you to read and write. Now, it’s seemingly more important than ever. #books #literature #tech

Viral content should feel embarrassing to make. #viral #socialmedia #tech #startups

If you aren’t building, you’re dying. ~ Dan Koe

They start off their pitch with „I’m building…“ I assume you should kick off with the problem you’re solving, no clue bc the article is for paid users only lol Lmk if u know 💀 #startup #entrepreneur #tech #techbro #ai #claude #chatgpt #app #build

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

Who made this 🤣

More often than not, people are not against “institutions” and “society telling them what to do”. Peops who say this then go on to join other “institutions” and “societies” with the only difference being that there they’re treated differently. You’re not a rebel, you’ve an ego problem.

Schlep Blindness? Founder mode? Blah blah blah Just do what has meaning and purpose to you and value to others. Too many people trying to come off smart & working on things they *think* are impressive on paper. #yc #startup #tech #founder #app #ai

Bros be like don’t take anyone’s advice on building a #product and then come out with a whole #advice book the next day. #tech #build #startup #app #ai #yc #peterthiel #chatgpt

If everyone loves your product, it’s crap. If everyone hates your product, it’s crap. If your product is polarizing, it’s meant for greatness.

Doing things that don’t #scale at 6 am on a Sunday. Hand-made letter invitations for the users at my #uni. (Yes, I’ll add more to them WAiT, the hand is not it) Stay tuned for the finished design and me handing them out lmao #tech #startup #advice #student

All socials are going through enshittification rn: dating apps, Meta, X. It’s good bc it’s finally time for change to how people interact online. We’re on the edge of something big. #tech #startups #meta #socialmedia

I think this applies not only to designers, but to all creatives.

Designers, dedicate the first and best hours of your day to yourself. Too often, I see designers putting themselves last, giving their side projects only the leftover energy after a full day of work. Begin each day by working on your dream. This small commitment will transform your life.

I can't stop thinking about Zuck's "masculine energy". I have worked in Tech since 2007. I have routinely been the only woman in a room. No matter how many green teas and lactation rooms you put in, this industry remains overwhelmingly masculine. If it sucks, it's because the men in charge suck.

What's the Moore's Law of Crossing the Chasm? There's a critical gap between early adopters and the mainstream #market that #startups must cross to succeed. Early success with #innovators doesn't guarantee mainstream adoption. #tech #startup #building #b2c #ai #tech

Only worthy thing that existed on my X account anyways. This was from my presentation at AI Tinkers at SF in August 2024. Best day of my life.

% of Americans who say corruption is a very serious problem among... Members of Congress 49% Supreme Court justices 42% U.S. presidents 42% Health care execs 40% CEOs 38% Police officers 32% Tech execs 31% Religious leaders 29% Journalists 28% today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Must read for anyone doing a startup: The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing (it's a book, but the laws are summarised here) www.linkedin.com/pulse/22-imm... 3. The Law of the Mind It's better to be first in the mind than to be first in the marketplace. -> i.e. solve a problem in people's minds.

Do you agree to the Rednote terms of service?

Is it still worth posting on TikTok in other countries after the ban?

Mark Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol

Smth I've been saying all along. Worth a read, if you work in growth &/or tech: bookthepipeline.com/p/the-ai-sdr...
