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?

朋友发给我的一张图，AI 前后独立开发者和用户的数量变化，太真实了。

给大家分享一下我日常重点关注的几个高信噪比信息源：LINUX DO ：中文圈极具极客精神的大模型逆向、降智讨论与 API 探索社区。它的核心价值在于“极高密度的民间实测”：无论哪家大模型暗调了权重、出现了降智、还是有什么低成本用上高阶模型的技巧，这里的讨论往往比官方通告快好几天。

暴论：Skill 将死，方法论永生。昨天参加 B 站的 Build in Public，卡比老师 @jakevin7 真的把这条写进了他的 ppt 然后公开讲了！整个下午最精彩的部分就在这了，完全是来上课的！干中之干太干了！

Doing "tiny SaaS" and Mobile apps rn is like trying to do Print on Demand / Dropshipping in 2019. The barrier to entry have been destroyed, anyone with 2 neurons can pickup Codex to do the same now. The indie hacker playbook doesn't works anymore, you can't just solve one tiny problem, build in public and do SEO.

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
