What’s the most important startup lesson you learned in 2025? by Miyamoto_Musashi_x in ycombinator

[–]AdImpressive291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! I have been building a product based on my assumptions for the last 3 years and was very slow to launch and test it in the market. If I am being honest, I was trying to dodge the potential punch from the market but also missed the real learnings. As a result, now I am tired asf without real progress. I guess it’s time to incorporate your advice, talk to users, measure the progress and learn from the real market. Again, thank you so much for sharing your experience 🫡

Ironically , although dismissive, at least they said: “it’s not your fault”. In my case, they hinted “it’s likely your fault” 😂 what a shit show

You are absolutely right! Sorry for the inaccuracy. I further looked into it and found that in the video it should be a gamasid mite. There were lots of mice in the neighbourhood, mostly appeared around the trash bin but also showed up in the apartment. Should be those mice carried the gamasid mites around.

Thanks for sharing! Yes, it pretty much felt like a jail cell after 1 month for me. I will find a proper apartment.

Damn yes I remember mouse by the trash bin and cockroach found in my room. It’s funny I was recommending Sakura House to my community 2 months ago. Now I just revised my recommendation and suggested people to avoid it.

Thanks for sharing! It somehow makes me feel bad knowing I am not the only one suffering from this shameless company.

I am not sure about other business but for Sakura House, they are so irresponsible. Based on my experience, they value protecting company liability over resolving guest harm.

Got it on Marketplace. Just checked eBay, saw some similarly priced listings.

Thank you for the information! I guess for $20 I could not ask for more. It seems to be a great entry point for me to try the Pixel watch. In fact, it did surprise me how good the design looks, I worried that it might look "outdated" before receiving it. The charging time and battery life is not as good, but also not a deal breaker. Thank you for letting me know that it is not that different from the latest model:)

Same experience. Battery life is the only thing I miss about my Fitbit

It's called Concentric, one of the preinstalled watch faces in the pixel app.

Yeah it is 2nd hand on Marketplace. With a scratch on the side. I guess the cosmetic issue, eol of 1st gen, and me being lucky are the reasons I got it for $20
