I made my first crore when I was 21 in college. It came entirely from remote work, not YouTube. That financial baseline changed my life and gave me the total freedom to explore the tech industry on my own terms. I will always advocate for expanding your horizons beyond local borders. Expanding your network globally, especially from India, is life-changing. Always remember: folks who are actually making good money won't push overpriced courses on you or seek validation online. Focus on what works: build in public, contribute to open source, touch grass, lower your screen time, connect with people, and be kind.

Trump just launched https://t.co/uiXpMCCqp6, an AI website that gives you facts. I asked "Did Donald Trump lose both the popular vote and electoral vote in the 2020 election." The answer is a clear "YES". https://t.co/9BBpurUQHh

Lots of founders are crashing out A year ago AI felt like an incredible opportunity. Most of us were able to ship faster, remove admin, and get time back. Lots of engineering founders were even able to explore marketing for the first time: SEO, organic social, outbound. Building complex systems that felt extremely productive. But since then, a lot has happened. Here’s some of the themes I’m seeing: AI marketing isn’t working. At first it feels impressive and it looks good but for most it’s not driving results. This is made worse by the fact everyone has access to the same tools. Inboxes are flooded, buyers are fatigued, the economy is flat. Engineers are fried. Yes you can ship more but for many the flow state has gone. It’s a new way of working and it’s not for everyone. The speed leaves many of us exhausted before 11am. There’s a feeling of what’s the point? Is my product’s next feature going to be redundant in a year, or a month? Can’t AI do what my business does, better?

Swear this feels like a downgrade 😭

one of the reasons i’m so interested in tokenization is how it changes who gets access to value creation traditional startups can stay private until they reach massive valuations, leaving most retail users watching from the outside even when they helped drive adoption crypto gives builders another path build in public, tokenize earlier, let the community participate alongside the product and create liquidity from day one that model feels much closer to the original ethos of crypto

🚨HUGE: Hedera just launched HCS-14, a new standard giving AI agents their own verifiable digital passport! $HBAR As billions of AI agents begin acting, paying & communicating for us, we need to know which AI is which and whether it can be trusted. This is type of launch is very technical but it sets @hedera apart from the rest as they are building the trust and identity layer AI will need to safely interact with the real world. So they will be so well positioned as AI adoption continues to explode. The AI economy NEEDS $HBAR!

The US just launched one AI front door to 29,000+ government websites. So I built one for Pakistan 🇵🇰 Ask in English, Urdu or Roman Urdu. It answers only from official govt sites, with sources. Shared it on LinkedIn, 1,000+ users in few hours 🤯 https://t.co/YJVLm7wUpB https://t.co/kHzgXHXLMp

$META just launched Meta Enterprise Platform which is new business unit bringing Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code directly to businesses and developers. Zuck calls it “the next major pillar of our business” as Meta starts turning its consumer AI stack into a full enterprise platform.

$META just launched Muse for Small Business calling it “one of most important products we've built for the era of personal superintelligence.” Meta can put Muse in front of ~200M businesses already on its apps and tie it directly into commerce and ads. https://t.co/X2rlqYiBin

$ORCL just launched Fusion Claw with 25 agentic apps across finance, HR, supply chain and sales as its CEO says Oracle is “moving from AI assistance to execution.” Oracle already owns the system of record so if agents replace seats then it can monetize the work itself. https://t.co/VZW0ufYnbJ

Build in public was always about marketing. Sometimes you’d be sharing lessons because you genuinely want other indiehackers to succeed, but that’s from an era where there was a non verbal agreement to not overlap projects with someone else, and you have X months of a technical head start anyway. But the sharing ultimately led to benefits. More people checking out your site. More WOM. Maybe even some direct signups from X or wherever you’re sharing. That era is dead now. There’s no tech head start anymore and the non verbal agreement has evaporated. It’s every man woman and chihuahua for themselves. There’s also so much software that nobody cares anymore. I could launch something today that would be revolutionary 2 years ago, that today nobody would bat an eye at. It’s all within reach of anyone with a max subscription. RIP building in public. Let’s hope we find something to replace it. But I think the game now is: can you find a space not saturated with devs where you can prov

𝕏 just launched a new Grokbot Template Rewards program. Creators can now build Grokbot templates, share them on 𝕏 and may earn rewards when people actually use them. Invite-only pilot; rewards every 2 weeks; usage matters; payments go to X Money.

🚨NVIDIA JUST LAUNCHED ITS NEW AI TRUST & SAFETY PLATFORM, WHILE HEDERA HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILDING AI TRUST INFRASTRUCTURE USING NVIDIA TECHNOLOGY FOR YEARS! $HBAR EQTY Lab’s Verifiable Compute uses NVIDIA GPUs + @hedera to create tamper-proof proof of what AI actually did. Now NVIDIA is bringing 100+ global giants together to build a “trust layer” for AI agents, with several already deeply connected to Hedera. NVIDIA says AI needs trust, verification and accountability. That is EXACTLY the problem Hedera has already been helping solve. The dots are getting VERY hard to ignore.

everyone’s asking how did i get so many interviews in this economy. here’s what works - 1. having someone already in the team pitching for you 2. referral 3. cold mailing (not ai generated) 4. only applying to jobs relevant to your resume (make multiple resumes if you want to apply multiple roles) 5. posting projects/blogs (build in public)

Put text behind anything, for free. We just launched professional AI object masking in Diffusion Studio. Powered by Meta's SAM 2.1. All running locally on WebGPU. Try it now → https://t.co/13pwUMo9oO https://t.co/d36Bmh9JKf

To get a job and win in this market, you should have: > Attention > Network > Skills You can literally just build in public to get all three or any of them.

分享一个宝藏skill，彻底治好了我对 AI 生成 UI 的审美疲劳。用 Codex，Cursor 和 Claude Code 写过前端的朋友应该都懂：逻辑全都能跑通，但界面永远透着一股千篇一律的塑料 AI 味。

A $QUBIC research lab just launched in Switzerland. Independent. Non-profit. Not the company talking about itself. A group of Qubic community members have officially set up a non-profit in Switzerland called the Qubic AGI Lab. The key word there is independent. It’s legally and financially separate from Qubic itself. It’s not the company marketing itself. It’s a proper grassroots, non-profit group. Its whole purpose is research and education around decentralised AI, the stuff built on $QUBIC, like Useful Proof of Work and the Aigarth project. I like that they’re not just cheerleading it. They’re explicitly there to educate about the risks of decentralised AI too, not just the upside. That’s a balanced, grown-up approach. They’re even running a free event in Basel on the 7th of November. Talks, demos and workshops, if you’re anywhere nearby. Organised people wanting to research and teach Qubic properly? I am all for it.

Someone: don't build in public, people will steal your idea and build it faster. Now Lagos Danfo has launched and suddenly everyone building similar product are out. I have seen nearly 6 more now. One said, "I started building a long time ago before he did." Okay?
