How to know if you need to make a big change:

You stay up late, every night, because you feel like you haven't gotten enough out of the day.

@codistiano

Have you ever experienced extreme tiredness but still got the willingness to do the work?

I think thats when your patience for the goals you pursue is being tested.

dear founders,

build like the clock’s running out. the window is open but it won’t stay. for the first time in history, you have free distribution from social platforms and infinite leverage from AI tools. you can reach millions without permission.

the internet is handing out unfair advantages to anyone bold enough to use them so...

ship before you understand it. clarity comes from commits. half your roadmap is ego, delete it. launch "ugly". talk to users every day. build what you wish existed. best ideas are the most obvious painful. go niche. no, go superniche. vertical is your moat.

clarity comes from commits. half your roadmap might be ego, delete it. make ugly things until they work. share prototypes that break.

kill what doesn’t grow. use AI as leverage, not decoration. test ten things before breakfast. delete your roadmap. double down on what works. design for clarity, not cleverness. brand before code. write daily. post your lessons.

find your first hundred users manually. distribution is the new product. attention is the new funding. taste is the new code. build small cults. scale later. automate boring things. keep the human parts human. study why things spread. study why things die.

pricing is positioning. aesthetics are trust. make people feel something. ignore haters. build in weird corners of the internet. break things publicly. pivot loudly. consistency compounds. only raise VC if you dream of going IPO one day. otherwise, cash-flow is your BFF.

your network is distribution. your story is marketing. your design is psychology. ship like it’s day one. iterate like you’re behind. stay obsessed. learn faster. think longer. risk embarrassment. make noise. build the thing that keeps you up at night. money follows obsession. stay in motion. stay loud. stay building. distribution is an art form now.

AI makes it easy to make things; the hard part is making things that matter. build like the world’s ending in a year but your idea has to outlive it

we’re living in a window of maximum leverage and minimum permission

im rooting for you.

best,

just another founder rooting for you

indirect message to ppl complaining abt the job market

@codistiano

You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room.You just need to show up every single day.

Most people quit when it gets boring or hard. The ones who keep going quietly… they win.That’s how skill builds. That’s how confidence grows.

Code a little. Learn a little. Improve a little. Do it every day and you’ll be shocked by where you end up.

Because talent gives you a head start,but consistency gets you to the finish line.

I was roaming randomly through react docs
And found this snippet 😁

The fastest growth periods are often the most miserable. If you want progress, get used to pain.

They worst thing that ever happened to you, is the worst thing that ever happened to you. The hardest you've ever worked, is the hardest you've every worked.

Every new challenge shows you a new territory you were scared of, but survived. Every time you break a new limit, you now know you have the capacity to handle more than you ever did before.

Its inverse PTSD, like workload exposure therapy that teaches you, "Oh! I've been here before and I didn't die! this is okay!"

@codistiano

The only person coming to save you is the version of yourself that's tired of your current situation.

@codistiano

I am not a designer, but @Designweg 's podcast with @Natyiu0 was one of its kind.
I expect somebody to do the same with @selfmadecoder

I was always running away from learning SQL until I found this
sqlbolt.com

Crazy how it eases things to the most simplest way.
Check it out!

Contest ended an hour ago...

Lesson: You still don't know what grinding means.. Get your s*** done!

@codistiano

If you always stop when it hurts you will never do any more than you've already done
