AI was supposed to make us work less I've never been this tired in my life most days I have up to 10 agents running at the same time. one fixing a bug, one writing pages, one refactoring something I already forgot I asked for, 3 other I have no idea what they are doing but i suppose i ask it? and I jump from conversation to conversation all day compared to 5 years ago, I probably context switch 100x more by the end of the day my brain is fried. completely toasted. nothing left, not even for the people I love I call it the fried brain effect thought it was just me but almost every founder I talk to lately says the exact same thing we got superpowers, and somehow the pressure only went up. if you can ship 10x more, you feel like you have to ship 10x more. every single day I don't have a solution honestly I have no idea where this goes from here anyone else feeling this?

The real alpha is buried at 31:50 when he talks about how Railway actually does marketing They went from $20M to ~$100M ARR this year with only 1 growth marketer and 1 product marketer Here is their actual GTM playbook from the interview: 1. "Incepting the AI models to recommend us more and more" (31:50) When a developer asks Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT "where should I deploy my Postgres DB / backend?" the LLM picks the winner before the user ever opens Google 2. Zero-signup agent access (09:20) They shipped an MCP, a CLI agent, and `ssh railway new` so an AI agent can spin up a VM immediately without even creating an account 3. Reverse-engineering what already works in marketing (13:47) Despite the quote about ignoring Stripe and Cursor on engineering, 3 minutes later he admits they have a #marketintel channel where they reverse-engineer Ramp's marketing and improve on it 4. GTM writes code instead of hiring headcount (25:35) Their 7-person GTM team builds automated systems instead of doing manual outreach This is the exact shift I've been talking about all year: AI agents are the buyers now, and the way you "incept" Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity to recommend your product is by dominating the third-party listicles, docs, and comparison pages those models cite If you want to run this exact playbook without hiring a marketing team: 1. Check which competitors ChatGPT & Claude recommend for your prompts (and which URLs they cite) → aiseotracker.com 2. Get placed into those exact ranking listicles & high-DR sites automatically → linkdr.com (or just tell Claude Code to read linkdr.com/SKILL.md)
