talented builders are being brainwashed into thinking twitter clout is everything and that going viral on twitter is the only way to be successful
if your definition of success is a launch video blowing up or announcing vc funding or getting followers and likes please understand that all this is fake and you're in a bubble
the only thing real is profit and happy customers
both of which are the highest signal for value creation
if you're not doing either, please sit and think about what you're optimizing for and what game it is that you're playing
being a "founder" or "ceo" is not a status symbol, its hard and probably not what you want to be doing
dont fall for the fancy titles, day in the life videos, shiny announcement posts and think that's proportionate with success, most of it is bullshit under the hood
look around your feed and start to notice these things, mute and block the larpers and attention seekers; find people who are actually doing things and follow them
