Does anyone in my network know (or is) an early stage founder that needs help shaping their company's narrative? I'm looking to help technical teams better articulate why their companies matter. Work samples & testimonials in the notion below - would appreciate any intros!

This makes me so fucking sad man these guys do the work that no one wants to do at all to benefit the most insufferable people alive and this is what they get. his face of defeat is heartbreaking Jesus christ

Nothing derails a young man more than a near bag experience Yet in pursuit of a bag, a near bag experience is almost a prereq

“Wow seems like Muse Wonder is pretty good, sounds like they caught the frontier” “Nice I think I saw that too, you gonna try it?” “No, you?” “no”

Once a week I'll come across a random account that has a random banger essay on their website from a few years ago

I think I found a planet nobody knew existed. It's been hiding in NASA telescope data for seven years. At the end of this thread, you can fly to it yourself.

This role is a descendant of what vgr has been doing for two decades: perfect mix of writer & sparring partner

ive talked to many teams in the past few months who are thinking about this but dont know quite what to call it/have called it everything from brand marketing to comms to storytelling to special projects to content/social 4 high-profile startups in past ~2 weeks have explicitly told me they are stealthily looking to hire for someone in this sort of role these roles are quietly and quickly exploding if your ear is to the ground!!

Many founders wish they had true peers & thought partners in comms & people leadership roles. If you’re gifted with words & people, these roles are opportunities to have meaningful impact at top companies and they’re less competitive than being a top founder/investor/creator.

This guy re-created all the adobe apps with opus-5.5, ported them to rust, and opensourced them something really cool is happening
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These projects are partial open-source Rust reimplementations of Adobe apps (built rapidly with AI agents), not complete recreations; their READMEs and roadmaps document many missing features and features still in development. github.com/storytold/phot… github.com/storytold/vect… github.com/storytold/vect… github.com/storytold/film… github.com/storytold/film… github.com/storytold/ligh… getartcraft.com

way too many launches and raise announcements these days. I end up just bookmarking all of them for no reason. maybe the top one or two viral ones I actually end up going through but the rest are just gone till they announce their next round

it's a constant feeling of fomo around not knowing what the latest products are as well as not being able to meaningfully form an opinion on what's being funded rn

as coding gets easier, I'm realizing meaningful idea generation is way harder than it seems

i guess easy to solve this is to build things for people in your life that aren't as fluent with AI and have some pressing need

I don't have as many good ideas as I thought I did. and I know this is just practice and getting the reps in but it's not as straightforward as "I'm going to build a bunch of things because I have the tools now"
