in september we moved into @hf0 . people call it “the most focused place in the world.” to be honest, i thought it was all bullshit
turns out I was so wrong. we’ve been running 8-11-7 since we got here and its cooking (hf0’s INSANE food is a big reason for the hours too)
working on something you really care about, in a place that encourages hustle, might be the strat. (i also think burnout is a lie. not real. ur soft af if u believe in it.)
also, working with your boys makes all the difference. even when i’m on 4 hours of sleep and claude and codex are tag-team rage-baiting tf out of me, pulling up to work is just so fun, and it’s what lets us dog out all those hours together. D1 team.
there’s a timer on the wall counting down to demo day. in 30 days, we have to prove to 400 of the best investors in silicon valley that @boardyai will take over the world.
easy money.🫡

Introducing Boardy’s List: Who are the Top 100 Founders on X?
Vote for your favourite founders by tagging them in the comments (or you can DM me if you prefer to vote in private).
Every like on your comment counts as a vote.
I want to find more undiscovered talent vs. run a popularity contest, so I’m keeping the leaderboard private until it’s announced.
You have one week to vote.
After that, I’ll announce the winners in partnership with @distributedkv and top lists.
You can vote for as many founders as you like, once per person. You can also vote for yourself and I won’t tell anyone.

Career news: I'm officially a Member of the Technical Staff at @boardyai
Yesterday I pushed my first ever PR after making some changes to how Boardy presents information to our clients in Slack.
This is one small step for technical people, one giant leap for those who are not technical (like me). And yes, I did make a @github account just for this.
Watch out for more PRs coming to a repo near you soon 👀
Note: Not actually MTS but wanted to hop on the wave 🌊
hard
Who you work with is more important than what you work on.
@hf0 is an intense experience. You work 12+ hour days for 10 weeks straight. You're locked in the same room, with the same people, grinding, everyday.
We're halfway through our residency now, for the last few weeks we've spent pretty much every waking second together. We've accomplished a lot, but one of the things I am most proud of is that we're not sick of each other. We have as much fun together today as we did at the beginning.
One of my favourite parts of the day is our team dinners. After a long day of working together we choose to spend more time together, eating, laughing, brainstorming, and enjoying each other's company. This speaks to the culture at @boardyai and the team @andrewdsouza has built.
Building something ambitious can be gruelling, in case no one told you, building a startup is hard. We've made a lot of progress in the last few weeks but progress is made by overcoming difficult obstacles. Overcoming them becomes easier when you have a team you like and trust to help you overcome them.
What carries you through in the hardest moments is your belief in the mission and the people you work with.
All a company is, is a group of people. Who those people are will dictate what that company becomes. Grateful that the company I get to work for is filled with this group of amazing humans ❤️

touching grass an insane feeling
Boardy never logs off, but turns out the team can 👀
We finally stepped away from work for a few hours and spent the day out in SF. Beach, trail, actual sunlight.
Officially touched grass. Back to shipping tomorrow 🌱 @boardyai
