They say:
Sell first, build later.
When everyone follows this advice, you get 50 people selling concepts.
How does a buyer know who will deliver quality?
What's your experience with this?
Day 25 of building my B2B app.
Still grinding through MVP completions.
User flows working smoother now.
Lesson: Every small improvement compounds.
Yesterday's bug fix makes today's feature easier.
Steady progress beats perfect sprints.
Saw a basic habit tracker making $15k MRR.
Nothing special.
Same as every other habit app.
But they only talked to busy parents.
Said "stick to your 6am workout" instead of "track habits."
Same boring app. Way better messaging.
Jason Fried: "Plans are just guesses."
Spent weeks planning perfect features.
Market said otherwise.
Build, ship, adjust. Repeat.
Planning feels productive but shipping teaches truth.
Day 24 of building my B2B app.
MVP core features nearly done.
Left auth, payment, subscription systems for the end.
Smart move: Build what makes your product special first.
Boilerplate can be added later. Unique value can't be faked.
Focus on the thing only you can build.
want to feel like a loser? open linkedin
- everyone's at google.
- your resume gets ghosted.
- "ceo at stealth startup" is actually unemployed posting hustle quotes
linkedin = fake professional theater.
Just build stuff instead
Managing frontend and backend at the same time is really hard, thankfully I use mcp so the frontend has context of what backend has.
What is your approach to handle both frontend and backend?
Day 23 of building my B2B app.
Difficult day.
Progress feels slow on everything.
Mistake: Trying to build and market simultaneously.
Lesson: Focus on one thing at a time.
AI for Startups Tip #10:
Your AI-dependent startup is one pricing change away from bankruptcy.
> OpenAI raises API costs 300%? Dead.
> Claude changes rate limits? Dead.
> Model performance drops? Dead.
My search works without AI (basic text matching).
AI makes it smarter, but…

Day 21 of building my B2B app.
Finished LinkedIn outreach.
50 messages sent, 1 person interested.
2% response rate hits different when you're the one getting ignored.
Haven't started email cold outreach yet.
Need to rethink my messaging approach first.
B2B marketing is…
Before you dive into your emails and to-do lists this morning, pause and ask yourself one question:
"If I could only accomplish one thing this week to make it a huge success, what would it be?"
Find that one thing.
Write it down.
That is your real focus.
Everything else is…
AI for Startups Tip #9:
Build fallbacks for when AI fails.
OpenAI API went down during testing.
My semantic search broke completely.
Now I have backup: Embeddings fail → basic text search.
Your app should work even when AI doesn’t.

Day 20 of building my B2B app.
AI cost control: Added rate limiting to prevent expensive API calls during user testing.
One curious tester could've cost me $50 in embeddings.
MVP lesson: Protect your runway from AI usage spikes.
AI for Startups Tip #8:
Fatal mistake: Used AI to write my landing page copy.
Result: Generic text that converted nobody.
AI doesn't know your customers' pain.
Save AI for code, write your own marketing copy.
Your voice sells, not AI's voice.
What did AI fail at for you?Retry
