The future is built by optimists disguised as pessimists: they complain about everything, then quietly fix it.

Why does Bluesky feel so dead now? Engagement feels drastically low. My account is almost stagnant. @bsky.app

Anyone else experiencing this?

We don’t live in the information age.
We live in the distraction economy.

If you’re building for praise, you’ll quit.
If you’re building for truth, you’ll survive.

My biggest competitor isn’t another startup. It’s my own motivation.

Built an app to save money… now I’m broke because of subscriptions to my own tools.

Spent 2 weeks working on a new feature. The only feedback: “Cool… but where’s dark mode?”

Startups humble you fast.
You go from “we’ll disrupt industries” to “pls open my email” in 6 months.

“Be your own boss” they said.
They didn’t mention that my new boss is insane and makes me work 16 hours a day.

Being a founder is just switching between “we’re building the next big thing” and “I should’ve opened a sandwich shop instead.”

There’s a strange beauty in building something while it’s still small.

Every user feels like a friend.
Every bug feels like a personal insult.

The most underrated founder skill: being able to laugh at your own failures before they crush you.

Every SaaS founder secretly wants to be a meme page admin

Putin straight up said in a joint PC with Trump that US-Russia trade jumped 20% after Trump took office. Called it “proof” of stronger ties.

In the same period, Trump slapped sanctions on India for buying Russian oil.

So America boosts trade w Moscow, while India gets punished for the same thing.

Keep going. Not because it’s easy. But because you’ll hate starting over more.

You know you’re a founder when “we’ll figure it out” becomes both your business plan and your coping mechanism.

Every founder has two moods: “we’re going to be a unicorn” and “should I sell my laptop?”

The biggest startup skill? Saying “yes” to opportunities you have absolutely no idea how to execute.

If I had a dollar for every time I said “I’ll start tomorrow,” I could retire yesterday.

If GPT-5 can write code, do math, give therapy, write books, and build apps…
what exactly is your unique skill again?

Some people want luxury.
Some want peace.
Some just want their Gmail inbox at zero.

I used ChatGPT to write this.

But I take full credit if it goes viral.
