TACO is on such a hot streak

built this side project for fun 6 months ago. might be time to bring it to life soon.

you can literally find anything you want in Shenzhen, China.

if you're building something in consumer (software or hardware) that is NOT slop. or are a creative/designer with good taste. please drop a comment. would like to follow you and fill my feed with more inspiring projects & art.

an average WeChat interaction with manufacturers.

if you are in software, now is the best time to pivot to hardware

To beat China, the U.S. needs to paradoxically stop focusing on beating China. And instead focus on being the best version of itself.

accidentally said "twitter" instead of "X" once and got kicked out of an SF 'party'

plz ignore. ––––––––– this post is a little memento. i will quote retweet it in the near future. ––––––––– it's the first time i built a consumer AI product that actually made my life feel more magical. ––––––––– in an unexpected place. a late night cafe in Shenzhen. at 11:14pm.

as someone who's in a young, hipster area of China right now... this is on point. lots of new culture + creativity. fashion here is insane. art is interesting. the coffee is good lol. the easiest way to predict a new cultural wave is to just observe the generation aged 16-24.

at this point, even the grifters must be annoyed by current levels of grifting.

extremely underrated pitfall for founders today is overconsumption on X & being too deep inside the SF bubble. definitely creates a hivemind + zero pattern breaking thoughts. part of the reason why far too many talented founders are building the exact same shit.

a despicable thing you could do with this: create an agent to buy out their domains immediately after a founder settles on a name lmfao.

building v1 of a companion app for some new hardware i've been working on. this is the final screen of the onboarding. i constantly go back & replay the onboarding, just to listen to the music again. it's still a very low fidelity app a few days in, but holy shit i love it.

it's a beautiful day to create beautiful things.

being extremely delusional will literally 10x your output as a founder.
