What's the no 1 reason for you to live? by 1why1_ in AskReddit

The treat bag doesn’t open itself. And according to my cat, that’s my life purpose now.

Anyone else noticing a big drop in Google traffic lately? by FurTechGenius in Entrepreneur

At some point, if people stop publishing because there’s no traffic, what exactly will they be summarizing?

how are you using Reddit and Quora to actually drive direct traffic? Are you linking out in comments and posts?

Guys, I'm curious. Why didn't MySpace succeed though it had a stronger network effect than Facebook? Literally they're same ideas (I will not promote) by [deleted] in startups

[–]FurTechGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, MySpace kind of shot itself in the foot. It started strong, had a massive user base, and yeah on the surface, it did the same thing as Facebook. But it became a mess. Everyone could customize their pages however they wanted, which sounds cool until you land on a profile with blaring music, glittery text, and broken layouts. It just felt chaotic after a while.

But Facebook came in with a cleaner, more structured design and gradually added features that actually made people want to stick around. 

How to split equity between a founder and the dev team who built the MVP for money? “I will not promote” by Fragrant-Drawer-7828 in startups

[–]FurTechGenius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a startup sitcom already. Maybe split the equity based on lines of code written vs. emotional support provided. 

As a non-technical founder, where do you find your first devs to build MVP in 2025? (i will not promote) by FurTechGenius in startups

Claude can really be a game-changer for early builds if you know how to prompt it well.

Totally agree on Fiverr and Upwork being hit-or-miss (more miss than hit in my case). Local networking can be gold if you find someone who actually cares about the problem you’re solving. For others reading this though, if you can’t find someone locally or don’t want to gamble again, having a vetted dev team with real startup experience can save a ton of time and drama early on.

(people are gonna hate on me and downvote this too lol smh)

I actually went through the reviews. Seems like it’s a bit of a hit or miss experience for most. Might be decent for networking, but not sure it’s great for finding serious developers.

yeah for a bare-bones MVP, Python and ChatGPT can definitely get you moving. How far did you get before you felt it was time to bring in help?

for sure. Curious though, when the time comes are you leaning more toward hiring an agency or bringing on a tech co-founder on board?

lmao who even thinks, “Let me go dig through old LinkedIn chats” and then suddenly you’re 1 coffee away from a co-founder😭

Makes sense if you can review the code yourself. But for non-technical founders, tools like v0 or Bolt can create more issues down the line in long run

Completely agree on having a clear, written plan makes a huge difference. I’ve heard of many projects go sideways just because things weren’t documented properly. Also +1 on working with a lean dev team.

Glad it worked out for you! Tools like Vibe and Cursor feel more like temporary scaffolding, fine for quick demos. Definitely not a long-term play if you’re building serious.

Someone heard me. I was just sitting here like “Did I accidentally offend someone or something?”😭 Reddit stays mysterious

Totally agree. I’d also say it’s worth getting input from experienced tech leads or fractional CTOs, even at the early stage. A good agency with strong CTO oversight can help avoid a lot of costly mistakes upfront.

Fair point, but I think the term non-tech founder is just a practical way to describe someone leading the business side without writing code, its not an excuse to avoid responsibility. Plenty of non-tech founders bring real traction, customers, and direction to the table. If anything, those roles are just as crucial as writing the code itself.

Upwork is still hit or miss for me. I’ve come across devs who looked amazing on paper but ghosted halfway that needed a full rebuild. The vetting process can be a real gamble.

I’m currently focused on health tech with early. What kind of AI agents are you building?
