BTC hit $62K. ETH $1,850. SOL $78.
Couldn't have chosen a worse time to launch $AWF.
But our job isn't to time the market. Our job is to build. And building is what we're doing.
No one tells you that most of the time, being a founder fucking sucks. Grinding in silence. Revenue's slow. Market's brutal. Team's exhausted. You question everything because it's all on you.
Then randomly, out of the blue, one of your investors sends this:
Totally random. Total bro moment.
This shit hits different when you're in the trenches.
It's lonely at the top. Find your bros. Nothing like it.
They won't fix the market. They won't solve your problems. But they'll remind you why you need to keep going.
Building through the bear.
Bismillah. 🚀
Update on this:
Already downloaded and installed @virtualbox since last post.
Time: 5 minutes
Sign up: None
Home address: None
Verification: None
Support wait: None
Downloaded. Installed. Working.
This is what happens when software respects builders.
@Broadcom: By the time you verify my account, I've already shipped with your competitor.
Speed kills. Kudos @virtualbox!
Wanted to give a huge "fuck you" to @Broadcom.
Just tried downloading @VMWare and been at it for almost an hour now!
@Broadcom's process:
- Manual registration (it's 2025, no Google Auth?)
- Enter physical address for FREE software
- "Pending verification" - 3 day wait
- Support: 72 hour response time
Meanwhile, some 22 year old is building your replacement this weekend with 10x better UX.
This is why legacy tech dies.
Not lack of resources.
Not competition.
Because they optimize for CONTROL instead of SPEED.
Every form field they add is a reason to leave.
Every 72-hour ticket is a lost customer.
Every "pending verification" is someone going elsewhere.
Builders aren't waiting 3 days for your bullshit "verification" over free software! We're moving to alternatives TODAY.
By the time you approve my download, I've already shipped with your competitor and don't need it anymore.
They spend decades building moats through friction only to look up and realize everyone has already crossed to the other side.
Speed kills. Friction dies.
This is why startups win.

Hahaha, I'm getting messages from my team @SHIZA_AI asking if my account has been hacked.
No - this is definitely me. Just following my advice on doing more and overthinking less.
Hey @sdrzn, as a fellow "Muslim, South Asian descent AI startup founder", I have to say you're a pussy dude. Didn't you support him, only 2 cave in to the mob? @pashmerepat, talk to a real founder who supports what he believes in & let's change the world together with @SHIZA_AI!
The risks outlined in this video youtube.com/watch?v=R6mTUK_y… are real (though it's not taking into account the longer term mass abundance AI will lead to), but the solution isn't to limit AI, as capping the tech will only further concentrate power in the hands of the few.
The real answer is distributed ownership. Our thesis is that AI will absolutely replace labor, but when it does, it's the individuals who must own the AI that replaces their labor. This is the only path to decentralized prosperity.
That’s exactly what we’re building at @SHIZA_AI: infrastructure for a post-agentic world where you own your AI agents and monetize from their revenue.
Own Your AI, Before AI Owns You.
