Our thoughts on building w/ AI at Supafax (YC W26)

thoughts on pursuing Financially Independent Retire Early (FIRE) vs Startups.

Why i think it's helpful to think this way.

Will definitely add that to the roadmap!

That's the dream - well done you've opened the door for a ton more solopreneurs!

Definitely heard – tldr was absolutely only in the context of "building product".

Re: > Once I internalised this, I stopped caring about clean code, perfection, and judging the value of my apps myself.

I think I meant shifting more to customer centric valuation. Should have been more clear.

I was thinking of adding that line! "Kill your darlings" is like kill the weak products that make no value!

Definitely – I guess I was going for "building product" more than writing code.

Heard definitely. I guess I was trying to liken "building product" to "writing a passion piece". Definitely not all writing vs all coding should have been more clear.

Befriending these kids and seeing them win definitely helps. Also meeting their parents - they did a great job.

Hi everyone, I created Aimless to change how we view our code after hours. Tired of my side projects feeling like more work, I wanted a theme that made coding beautiful and distinct from my day job. Aimless, with its dark pastel palette, does exactly that. I hope you enjoy a fresh perspective on your personal projects!

tldr: Find the one thing you control which guarantees you asymptote to success.

Huh thats super bizarre

Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely consider it!

A guy can dream haha

Cheers! responded!

Thats a great idea! Thank you!

I think cuz you can only have 5 and you get a limited say in how you label them ("hire", "start up with", "work for" etc) it makes you reflect and be more considerate in your choices.

Thank you thats super kind!

In all seriousness, I think talent is quantified on the platform through the perceived talent of those who recommend u + who u recommend

Thanks for checking out the site – no idea haha the 10x thing is just a hook

Thanks for checking it out! – I think a) LinkedIn is corporate social media it's really gone down hill b) Endorsements are just full of noise (hard worker, great ppl person etc) no real actionable help c) they aren't curated! ppl hand them out like candy

Thanks for checking it out and the kind words – ahahah yeah definitely not going for the nepotism hires but that could be a consequence of the service

Got it thanks for the feedback! I think the hiring manager / tech recruiter is that customer. Trouble is I wanted to aim the messaging towards the network members first... definitely needs work

Also its $9/month annually ;)

Thanks for checking it out! Personal referrals are by far the best for the employer / employee comp + retention wise. But yeah a free trello / slack community could be great but I think the public profile approach just works with a bit more visibility!

Cheers glad you like it!

Yeah exactly – my bad I gotta make that clear!

Thanks for checking it out! The Pro Plan is only to have unlimited profile visits, and meant for hiring managers so i'm charging kinda like linkedin sales nav.

I think the value add is that you can traverse a network of recommendations (u -> your friend -> their recs etc).

Never looked at it like that haha – hopefully it won't only be recommendations to be a corporate cog
