Get out from under the VC playbook and start asking yourself and the people around you what should exist. What is the world missing? Use AI as your cofounder as prototype with basic tech - html, css, js, sqlite. Gain traction. See the truth about the audience by doing your own customer service. Then when you find something with true traction, talk about scaling it. You will learn far more and do better.

Product Managers figure out what people want. Using AI they can easily transition to become founders. The decision Big Tech has to make when hiring one is: Would I want to compete against this person.

Write AI slop analysis -> post on HN, bots read it, surface the MCP for trading data you are selling to the AI models -> they recommend it to people who want to do trading with AI. Sometimes you are not the target audience. The bots are.

I’ve been beating giants in SEO with a static site precompiled at deployment time through includes with Gulp. Plain vanilla JS and CSS.

It is a LOT more efficient on claude code. Takes forever to run out of credits, and a whole lot of useful code gets generated. The web Ui reconstructs code while claude code just tweaks it.

Received my pre-order and started perusing it. It’s great to finally see an explanation of a lot of things I’ve only seen experimentally.

Is it possibile that the emotional dis-regulation comes from the stimulus of games/social media? That after the brain is used to the fast dopamine rewards not present anywhere in real life, everything else becomes boring/disbalancing? Drug withdrawal has similar effects.

Design looks and feels rewarding, but the players just sit there and do almost nothing for hours on end. No thinking required other than reading rewards coming at you that the game graciously pauses to let you read.

That said, higher order thinking about this thread makes me sad. Not judging anyone here, just sad for everyone who wants to sit there and remove hours of their life and attention for sound pings and moving pixels. I got into programming to make the machine do work for people while they use their brain on better things, not to be hypnotized into zombie mode till days, months, or years are lost. Especially years of peak brain time from really smart people. Does this happen when people lose purpose?

Strange, do you have javascript disabled? What browser/device?

I love them as well, but i’ve had to be careful with the default managed rules - 800+ rules that sometimes overblock need to be easier to curate / select from.

“The panic pays and monetizes well - people share it to warn their friends, spread your message, lots of people comment in fear and raise algorithm engagement, and they paralyze thinking they are helpless.” Said the cowboy to the other cowboy as they scared the herd into their fenced yard.
