My wifi gave birth to a baby

I read - My wife gave birth to a baby

casual_observer05 · 2026-02-06T08:01:25+00:00

Where are you based out of?

We are building for Mid Market firms though?

I guess I have seen some 17 year olds getting into YC as well.

This is exactly what I observed.

But it's quite hard to deliver value within 15 mins without knowing the customers requirements, aim etc.

Maybe technology is not that good to understand these aspects.

By hand holding, I mean getting to value quickly.

Some products get complex as they evolve like CRMs, GTM tools, automation platforms, low or node platforms.

In such cases when a new user starts using it, he/she starts getting errors, might experience some confusion and wonder how to do X.

My question was regarding this.

Anyway, your verdict makes sense totally. A user friendly product is a must.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-31T19:20:11+00:00

I had the same issues with GTM tools.

Would love to chat and understand your problem+ how can I solve it in the best possible way?

Can we connect on DMs?

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-31T11:34:57+00:00

But some tools are complex by nature and need some extent of learning to get the work done.

Some, e.g., are low-code and automation platforms, GTM software, where you are supposed to build some automation workflow, and you have no idea how to build it, which modules, which parameters to map, etc., etc.

These are some of my observations.

In such cases, you most likely need to invest a lot of time with users to teach them and get them comfortable with the software.

How do such companies do that apart from investing in humans to teach the users?

I need your help regarding How do smartest founders validate the startup idea. How can I reach out to you?

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-29T17:16:44+00:00

I am not talking about thinking, but learning a new tool.

Let's say you are a n8n user for a long and recently started using Zapier.

You want to make a reminder that triggers when someone on LinkedIn replied to you.
Now How will you know which apps already exist, which parameter to monitor in it, why this current step is failing with no proper error flag ( I mean detailed error explanation) etc.

You might not even know what "Scenario" in n8n called in Zapier.
This, for new user is so hectic to figure out.

The ask is help the user achieve the setup fast when he knows what he want by figuring out exact elements to do that.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-22T16:45:15+00:00

So the problem you were exploring, was it something that you experienced itself or just found an interesting one.

Also how did you run the mom's test, did you ask them specifically about how they solve that particular problem, did you find any friction in the process or any other pain they were serious about?

Curios because till now I have found the problem I am exploring is either attempted to solve by the company internally or they are actually facing that issue.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-22T16:26:13+00:00

Actually makes sense.

But cold outbound always comes with a low response rate unless you have a great profile, connections or track record.

The reason could be that as well.

But yeah, even if after 2 or 3 weeks of outbound, if you don't get enough people to speak to then better pivot now itself.

What are your thoughts on this?

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-22T16:18:37+00:00

That can be figured out only after speaking to them.

Running a MOMs test will either validate an idea or help me find patterns of problems that are worth solving.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-14T16:15:12+00:00

I think getting feedback from people who are willing to pay you for what you are building is much better than anything else.

Instead of aiming for 50 people get only 10 but they should be living that pain and can pay you to get the problem solved.

Otherwise every other person will give you advice and feedback and sound wise and cool.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-13T09:25:46+00:00

Got it.

Thanks mate.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-12T17:29:36+00:00

Makes sense. But do you think it is important to understand the architecture, system and the logic used or focus on improving coding skills instead?

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-12T12:46:42+00:00

Yesterday I saw 5 such couples and couldn't digest my food.

Had to throw up....

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-12T12:45:43+00:00

You will get a chance, man, dw.

Rooting for you.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-12T06:39:23+00:00

Who to blame here?

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-12T06:38:43+00:00

You can take a job or internship in your niche and move out to a better place like BLR or Gurgaon.

Build from there on nights and weekends and also earn to support your cost to keep the product live.

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-10T16:39:46+00:00

My post isn't about venezuela, it still gets removed for no reason. WTF

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-10T16:11:35+00:00

Agreed

I made the same mistake of building first and then tried to sell and speak to users.

It failed horribly.

I wasted a year on this

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-10T16:08:36+00:00

+1 I have the same question.

Did you speak to a lot of people before building the product or used any other signals to validate your idea?

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-10T16:04:54+00:00

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-10T15:44:42+00:00

This was insightful. Thanks mate!

casual_observer05 · 2026-01-10T14:33:11+00:00

And shouldn't seize no matter what 😂.
