We did it! We finally launched video ad generation with @BesteverAI. It's live on Product Hunt today ✨. Managed to get this ad for our friends at Ashley Madison . We are a serious company 😅 Really.

We are going to relaunch our site, so I was working on our new brand colors. I was using the usual AI image apps & it was taking forever. In frustration, I started using @BesteverAI even though this wasn't an ad. Gave it full context & generated some mocks. It was FCKING magical

LinkedIn Connection: Hey, let's stay connected. We have so much in common! . LinkedIn Connection (1 day later): Hey, wanna buy my managerial coaching? Will level up your leadership. Don't believe me? Ask this account manager from Wells Fargo last month. She loved it!.

I was today years old finding out Linear had no way to archive manually, and that they force inactivity to archive something. For a project management tool, not letting people archive for visual cleanliness is such a MISS! Wtf.
I wish all apps offered a "clean up" or "auto archive" feature. Gmail: you haven't opened these emails recently, unsubscribe?. Linear: no updates on issue for 6 months, it's canceled. Could use it for Notion, Superhuman, even X follows. Will add in Loops in the future.

Of course, the process can use some updates. It doesn’t have to be so complicated. But keeping the bar really high is a good thing.

America sets the bar really high for immigration and that’s what makes American immigrants superior to most other Western countries. You really have to want to be here to make it.

American luxury at the end of the day is just aesthetics & amenities. When it comes to actual human interactions and providing service. You see the luxury in America . You feel the luxury in Europe & Asia.

Earlier this year, I was staying in India in a very posh hotel in Mumbai. Way worse scenario. I just didn’t like my room. It felt small & claustrophobic. The hotel had a 500-party staying there so it would be totally acceptable for them to say no. Guess what? They just found me.

Americans just don’t know how to do luxury. I’m staying in a “fancy” spa/resort in Sausalito today. I was running a 10min late to some spa thing. I call them 30 min ahead. They make sure to tell me that they can’t make up for the lost time & cannot reschedule either 😅.

Sometimes as a founder, you have to sacrifice your family, sanity. You have to suffer humiliation, kiss some frogs until your product turns into a charming prince. Just look at the CEO of Astronomer!

RT @hthieblot: The romanticization of being a startup founder is kind of insane to me:. – You’re statistically unlikely to succeed.– You’ll….

Who’s building a new Slack? Something clean, minimal and NOT clunky.

It's time to use their strength — hoist them by their own petard
