I met a dude 3 years ago and he gave me my first tech job
I met another dude in tpot 3 months ago
All 3 of us are now in Switzerland, building the future of technology
It's crazy how things just happen

this is the biggest cheat code
found 1 guy in my university who was super motivated, spent 2 weeks hanging out with him
in those 2 weeks I developed a habit of working every day
this led to me actually achieving my objectives, not realizing I was being consistent
this was 9 months ago. forever changed since then

imagine being a $3B company and setting up a way to steal users from a small startup like Bolt
like I said before, spineless company with spineless leadership

even if we assume that the language didn't have a better way (which doesn't sound right)
there's no way he didn't bother to refactor the most critical part of his game (conversation) in 7 years of development

I just bought an iPhone after never owning one and oh my god.
the Apple ecosystem has won.
I just answered a call from my Mac while coding + responding to a message on Instagram FROM MY MAC on my PHONE
I can't believe I was an Android user for so long
Apple makes life so easy

my first 4 months of 2025 have been insane:
- join the most insane startup ever
- part of the most cracked team in the world
- travel to Switzerland, Greece and Turkey
- on track to achieve every single one of my goals for the year (which seemed impossible)
I've been insanely lucky. all I have to do now is stay focused and work harder

ego and emotions ruin everything
stay humble and keep your eye out for mfs like this

I took a gap year from uni because I didn't learn anything new the first year
6 months into the new semester, company I started last May is now making me 2-3x the average income in my country
mom is still asking me to go back to uni

everyone slows down when they get far into a project
you get nervous about releasing and you start delaying work, taking detours, etc.
most of the time, best thing to do in this situation is to finish the project as soon as possible
limit yourself in terms of time, get the essentials done and whatever is left, you'll feel if it's necessary

when you think of giving up it's your sign that you've pushed yourself to a limit
you'll have to cross that limit at some point, so do it now, save yourself the time

- hit 800 DAU
- nearly $2k/mrr
all of this is happening with nearly no input from me

you're rewarded based on how much you impact others

(except getting unlimited access to every single LLM if you’re a Stanford guy)

this is a joke post
seeing and realizing code is bad is not a junior thing
any dev who is stuck with the old ways is hard to work with and slows down everyone else working with them

- quality of work
- speed
- accuracy of work
- personality
- "I don't want to work with you anymore"

spawn just became the fastest growing consumer social platform in history
instagram: 7 days to 100k (previous record)
spawn: 5 days to 100k (new record)
6 engineers. no marketing spend. no 'cinematic' launch video

time invested does not mean you got anything done
most people don't realize this because basically every job in the world works on a time basis
if you're trying to improve yourself you can't just spend time, you need to do useful work

here's what me and 4 of my friends have been working on for the last few months
vibe coding does not compare for what spawn allows you to create — from 3d multiplayer games to scalable businesses
we're unlocking your imagination
stay tuned for access
excited to finally share what i've been working on:
@spawn — reimagining software development as a creative exploration, making code irrelevant
we're at an inflection point. AI will enable an entirely new kind of creation. vibe coding was just the first glimpse - we're building the last.
launching in a few weeks, stay tuned
