sarimkxon Ask HN: How do you handle marketing as a solo technical founder?

All I want to add here is, if you are shy or scared of being "cringe", this path is NOT for you.

Someone actually recommended to be absolutely "shameless" when it comes to speaking about what you are doing i.e. marketing your product/service.

sarimkxon How would you learn to code in 2026?

Project-based learning.

I find the best place to start with any skill is to learn using projects.

You can master many things using 100 projects. 1 being the basics, 100, a really complex, difficult project.

sarimkxon Harvard Youth Poll – Gen Z Is Rapidly Losing Faith in America

> Overall, 59 percent said they regard AI as a threat to their future job prospects, far more than immigration (31 percent).

This is in line with my observation, unlike what many older folks think, Gen Z are more skeptical of new tech. Many who were the first generation to grow up with social media are the first ones quitting social apps like Facebook, Instagram etc.

On the physical/hardware side, old tech is making a massive comeback among Gen Z. Film cameras, 2000s digicams etc.

sarimkxon Ask HN: Turned 25, Give Me Your Best Advice for the Next 25 Years?

In the spirit of saving memories. There is an amazing app I like to use, "1 Second everyday" "1SE". You can capture 1-2 seconds of your day and at the end of the year it will make a whole video for you.

I think its a beautiful way of capturing your year. You don't have to post it anywhere, just keep it for yourself, family, and especially future kids.

sarimkxon Ask HN: Turned 25, Give Me Your Best Advice for the Next 25 Years?

Absolutely. People have no clue how much where you live determines so many aspects of your life. Career, salaries, current/future opportunities, relationships and people you have access to.

If you have it, do NOT take your geographical luck for granted please.

sarimkxon Ask HN: Turned 25, Give Me Your Best Advice for the Next 25 Years?

+1 for taking as many photos as possible. I actually think physical photos are way better for memories and less risky long term. Hard drives fail all the time.

I would recommend getting a 35mm film camera and taking a LOT of pictures. Capture yourself, family, events, travel, life milestones.

You will only REGRET the ones you did not take.

Alternatively, something I am looking into, is printing a few hundred photos you have on your smartphone at the end of each year. Get the best ones in physical form to keep safe.

sarimkxon Ask HN: Turned 25, Give Me Your Best Advice for the Next 25 Years?

I am in my early 20s too so can't provide the depth you're probably looking for but here is what I know so far:

Move to a country/location/environment where you can actually achieve your goals/dreams ASAP. Location is the number 1 determining factor imo. This is step zero, nothing happens without this.

Build a lean, aesthetic physique (assuming you're a guy). Workout and stay healthy.

Get skills ASAP. Stack as many real tangible skills as you can. Skills will pay your bills and will be the foundation of your career.
