o mundo é sobre gravidade
quando você é quebrado, desconhecido e não tem network, você tem pouca gravidade
logo, você precisa correr atrás de tudo
quer conhecer alguém? você pede uma introdução
quer uma oportunidade? você aplica
quer vender? você procura cliente
quer contratar alguém bom? você tenta convencer
quase nada orbita você
conforme você acumula dinheiro, reputação, conhecimento e network, sua gravidade aumenta
as coisas começam a vir até você
pessoas querem trabalhar com você
fundadores querem te conhecer
investidores te procuram
oportunidades aparecem no wpp
seu nome abre portas
e é engraçado o quão gradativo isso vai ficando na jornada
você deixa de ser apenas alguém participando do mercado e começa a ser um centro de gravidade dentro dele
e isso não acontece só com pessoas
cidades têm gravidade
morar em São Paulo, NYC ou SF significa estar dentro de um ecossistema onde já existe uma quantidade enorme de capital, talento, empresas e pessoas ambiciosas orbitando umas às outras
você pode aproveitar uma gravidade que não construiu sozinho
nichos também têm gravidade
empresas também
quando você se torna uma das pessoas mais conhecidas de um determinado nicho, tudo que acontece naquele nicho começa a passar por você
você não precisa necessariamente ser a pessoa mais inteligente
às vezes, basta estar no lugar certo, no momento certo, por tempo suficiente para acumular gravidade
e talvez seja por isso que algumas pessoas parecem ter uma vida absurdamente fácil
não é necessariamente que elas sejam melhores
elas simplesmente estão em um campo gravitacional muito mais forte
pra finalizar, esse é um pensamento que me veio na mente, não é um texto sobre mim
to longe de ter uma gravidade super forte
e de ser um Sol, ou um buraco negro supermassivo
mas quem sabe um dia haha 🥑
The internet (as we know) id dying
Diving deeper:
- In june cloudflare CEO reported that bots surpassed humans responding for 57% of web traffic
The web architecture is shifting, websites must be designed and polished not necessarily for humans but for agents as well
We are migrating from “software for humans” to “software for software”
Dead internet theory is probably right. But it is not the end of the web, just the of it as we know it
Building online business (SaaS or whatever) IS NOT easy.
Don't trust anyone trying to sell the opposite.
But it is worthy
If even uncle bob is not reading all code, maybe we shouldn't either
I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.
We need more platforms to help finders to achieve early feedback.
Validate Hunt is my small contribution, will continue to develop it on my spare time

I've created a platform to help indie hackers with idea validation.
Fable 5 helped me with the front-end, and I must say it nailed it.
validatehunt.com
Product Hunt fails completely at its purpose
It’s not a product validation platform, and the scoring dynamics are pathetic
Few investments pay off as much as improving your app’s observability. A few hours of work that save you recurring stress every time you have to dig into why things aren’t working.

Because of salience bias, when someone you know wins the lottery you have an urge to play it. Many startups started this way.

if you're a startup founder just read this so I can sleep peacefully tonight
most companies can get to $1M ARR with only two channels
the channels you should pick from are
- paid ads
- cold email
- cold DMs
- founder led social
the channels you should not pick from are
- SEO
- email newsletter
- guesting on podcasts
- youtube channel
why
you need revenue tomorrow, list one makes that happen
list two makes revenue happen in the future
they are long term investments that pay off 12 months from now
this is the most common mistake I see founders make
the framework to think about this with is how you think about personal finance
when you're young, 80% of resources go to surviving and 20% to investment
when you're old, 80% goes to investment and 20% to surviving
apply this same idea to your young company

This is excellent news. X is a great place for discussing ideas but the quantity of engagement bait makes it exhausting sometimes
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to improve Revenue Sharing and fix the incentives it created. The top earners today look very different from when we first ran this experiment — and that’s a good thing.
For a long time, the program rewarded quantity more than originality. That created a cycle where aggregators and unoriginal content could outperform creators who were actually contributing something new to the platform.
Ultimately, our goal is simple: reward the people who create content that makes X worth opening every day. We’re not done yet, but we’re getting closer.
