I love how this guy had preface every single tweet with "oh I love @levelsio" because I think we all understand how sensitive @levelsio is & if u don't completely suck up to him, he'll block u for saying anything critical about him. 😂 "antifragile" king

love the brilliant @levelsio but never understood the "100% organic, ads dont work for me" POV
my take is that the best companies don't start with ads, they earn the right to use them. i'll explain:
1. organic proves people want it
2. organic shows what content works
3. ads prove it scales
4. organic sets baseline CAC
5. ads test upper limits
funny thing about ads, everyone expects instant results.
nobody wants to put in the same patience they did with organic.
it's like giving up on content after one blog post.
framework we use for ads and scaling startups:
1. get to $10k MRR organic
2. find channels that work
3. calculate true CAC
4. test $500 ad spend with organic style content that you've already proven
5. double what works
good companies start organic. great companies use ads to accelerate what's already working
- organic for brand/trust
- organic to prove out what ad creative works
- ads for predictable growth
- ads to test new products in new niches/geos
- content for longevity
- paid for speed
being '100% organic' sounds noble.
but when you find something that works, why wouldn't you want more of it?"
"please don't be sensitive about this disagreement sir please don't block me"

another reason why indiehacking is dead
mfs will make the 8,000,000th workout tracker app in 2024 and claim people are copying them
smh 🤦♂️🤡

why #buildinpublic is dead
It's always....the usual suspects....that blantantly rip off other's hard work. Everything from the design, copy, assets...down to the icon.
This is why across my portfolio I always block people from....1 particular country.

I noticed many landings inspired by lovi.care, but @aadityabuilds took it a step further by copying our iOS app design. It's disappointing 🤬
I love DHH because he serves as an inspiration: no matter how technically novice/junior/rookie/stunted you are, you can still be very successful.
Don’t let your lack of knowledge stop you from chasing your dreams!
Bundling JavaScript has unbelievably bad cache dynamics for apps in active development. Every time you change a semicolon, the entire, often MULTI MEGABYTE, bundle is invalidated, and clients have to download again. Huge advantage for #nobuild not to do this.
Always hilarious to hear the “selfhosting is so easy lol just do it XD” crowd cry and flail about “but but Nextjs is VENDOR-LOCK IN!!!” when you can literally host it anywhere
Nice skill issues bud
“I do entrepreneurship for the FREEDOM not the money…”
“I get to do whatever I want, NO ONE is the boss of me…”
“I can’t stand the idea of having people tell me what to do…”
Indie hackers this is your king
Look how “anti-fragile” and totally not “sheriffing” he is. The lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy is crazy.
Btw that “dumb shit” is just a few weeks ago, he totally changed bro
🤦♂️
Isn’t this EXACT argument in favor of using Vercel (which he is against)?
Small company. 0-1. Move fast. Free tier. Focus on value, not infra. Once rich, optimize with self-hosting.
But then again @dhh wouldn’t be able to get attention to his company with sensible takes
these two give off such big...
- Black Can't Play Basketball
- 100% have a white gf
- Should not be saying the N word
...vibes
Bros will say this and never leave the town they were born in
