how do you find out what someone is really like?
i built a thing:
it tells what someone is like based on their twitter likes
but with a twist
from the point of view of Sapiens (the book)
tag a friend and i'll tell you what they are really like

"vibe"

one wakes up early, and one doesn't seem to sleep
one has the "it" factor, and the other the "i.t." factor
both have money - but there's a difference:
one uses it to impress and the other to express

Humans envy luck more than they envy hard work or skill.
Friend winning 10 Lacs via lottery V/s Friend earning 10 Lacs via freelancing - we know what will cause more envy.
If you envy skill, you are on the right track.

My road to

- Didn’t end up working out
May: Followed up on mail - Started with a trial period
June: Got the job!
The future of work is:
1. Remote
2. Async
3. Collaborative
1 is the passcode that unlocks 2 and 3, especially in these times.
Write the note and send it. It just may work.

One of my biggest learning while building
@CapshunApp
(An app that generates Instagram captions using AI) was that people don't care about your product.
They care about their problems. And rightly so.

It tells you if your Avocado is ripe or not - using AI. That's it.

Started a meme page () to promote an app, the app didn't work out, but the page did.
It's difficult to predict in the early days what may or may not work.
The point is to build something which is fun for you.
Side-projects can help you fund some of the biggest expenses in life 💸
It also becomes your resume in the age of proof of work and can get you the best jobs out there
Here's a personal story of how it has panned out for me and a nudge at the end for you to do it 🧵

being around passionate people is a hack
this transcends beyond work
if your cook is passionate about food, you will naturally look forward to the food
if you find such people, keep them, nurture them
you can't buy passion, that's why it's rare
it's magic

We need to start looking at more things as mediums V/s goals.
Example:
MBA should be a medium for better opportunities rather than being the end goal.
Startups should be a medium to solve problems/learn rather than being the end goal.

The content curation economy is just getting started.
You don't have to create new content. If you can break down existing pieces of content, i.e., curate it well enough, there's an opportunity.
Netflix and Amazon Prime started by curating content. A lot of creators will too.

Users are shifting from mobile apps to web browsers for social networks, especially Instagram.
Web browsers help in
• Controlling the time spent on the platform

i believe true work is joyful
you owe it to yourself to find that joy at some phase of your life
if you figure it out, you win by default
that's why people do startups even when it's so damn hard
cause the work is so much damn fun
you can't beat someone having fun
if you're a young person with a small amount of responsibilities, I would highly recommend working at the smallest company you can find.
you get to be a part of decision making, touch many parts of the business, and get true ownership.
it's also much more fun

you don't need to love the entire thing
if you consume something and resonate with only some parts of it
you have an option to only keep those parts with you and ignore the rest
example:
only liked the first half of the movie?
forget that the second half even existed

-> Know your user better than you know yourself
We soon realized that majority of our traffic was from Tier-2/3 cities.
Captions being generated using AI was still new for our users. So we started generating hashtags as well.
Instant Hit.

if you have a creative pursuit in mind:
- don’t talk about it, talking about it gives you the dopamine without putting in the work
- give it a deadline, if it’s important enough, it deserves a deadline
- don’t try to optimize stuff, do it the hard way

buying a course to get started on something is a form of procrastination
if you really want to do something, there's enough free content out there to get started
leverage the free, put in the work, and then buy the course

Filters which project your skin in a lighter skin tone are just fairness creams masked as a filter. That’s why such filters have a higher chance of going viral. Explains further why the fairness cream is a ~6 Billion $ market globally.
