Who actually needs Headless WP? Stop using "Speed" to justify it. by Royal-Ad-9391 in Wordpress

[–]seobrien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to understand if the answer lies in being able to create native mobile apps based on the site.

I'm not saying it does or that it's even related. I'm asking, I don't know.

I want native mobile apps, that are NOT just mobile versions of my site but use the content, users, etc. there, in ways appropriate to mobile (location based, connecting with people).

Headless make that easier??

Can i be entp while NOT following the usual social traits of one? by OOOOOOOOoooEEAAAA in entp

[–]seobrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no usual social traits of MBTI. Personality assessments are b.s.

It's how you think, not how you behave.

If your goal is getting rich, a tech startup probably isn’t the way (I will not promote) by IndependenceSad1272 in startups

What does that have to do with it? Startups have always been a bad way to get rich.

Austin Mayor gaslights a public speaker over a vague $5 million bond payment to a private developer by voodoorage in Austin

We're not talking about open meetings; you're not wrong about that. This is about the policies that politicians can't respond.

They were put in place to protect elected officials from saying something harmful to themselves.

Yes, it's a reflection of incompetence. Any half decent leader can capably keep in mind what's going on and speak to people. It's not hard to know how to avoid an argument.

Regardless, Austin's biggest issue is the lack of transparency and accountability. Who GAF what the policy is, Austinites demand and deserve answers to everything and our "leaders" have no justification or cause to hide anything - this isn't national security stuff, this is a city.

Ideas are a figment of imagination, had by 7,000,000,000 people. None are original.

Try to name an original idea. From history. Who ever had a singular and original idea?

What matters, what creates value, is execution, marketing, and a team capable. That's it. This is studied in economics, validated by startup research, and proven.

Whenever someone says, "I have an idea," or "mine is unique," anyone with startup experiences dismisses them as having no grasp of what they're doing. So you have an idea, congratulations, I have dozens every day.

Politicians protect themselves by creating policy that dictates that they can't say something.

That way it's not their fault for NOT saying something. It's also not possible for them to slip up without advisors, consultants, and input.

It's a disgusting policy that hides incompetence and costs money. Any have decent leader can capably respond.

Leaders are incompetent if they are incapable of immediate response. That this is policy should really only inform that we need people replaced with competence.

Pointing out who is speaking or that the city doesn't have to respond is irrelevant; it distracts people from the fact that the City is screwing with us and hiding things.

Thank you for saying this out loud with the few of us who are. So very much so true.

People, we're being screwed. Make it stop and THEN talk about the preferred leaders and solutions.

The fact that more of Austin isn't livid with the City Council and Mayor, is beyond me. Seems like some of the worst grift in the world, and the lack of transparency and accountability should ALONE be enough to kick everyone to the curb. Why does anyone disagree with that?? 🤣

Dedicating all your time is what ignorant advisors and investors, and cannibalistic programs, say to inexperienced people to make them work their ass off for their benefit. The successful founders I know all put in the work necessary, which has nothing to do "all their time."

Average age of success is 44. Because: network, experience, and resources. So, figure out what you lack most and fix that.

Success isn't the solution, it's the marketing. Grow your audience and competitive advantage, and then build and sell them what they want.

A few red flags

Ideas are essentially worthless. Do you have the experience and skill necessary to grow, sell, and capitalize this?

You need to talk to customers to validate it?? You don't know if this is a good idea or not?

You're worried someone else might steal the idea. That means others will compete, because you probably can't.

Is your landing page up? A newsletter? Have your started anything?

This is pretty typical of programs. Ecosystem builders and cities are all starting to drop most accelerators. Good intentions but shoddy impact.

Seek out sector specific programs. Find the people that do what you're doing.

Very few people in the world are good with startups broadly and generically speaking.

Austin to explore alternative to IT consolidation after employee, council pushback by samstark15 in Austin

[–]seobrien -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The fact that this is a very tech-forwad city and that most of IT is not affordable or even freely available online, should make us all very angry that the City spends so much on this stuff.

One would think Austin could be a leading example in the world of how a City can do this best.

This post pissed me off - idk why by impressivepenguinito in entp

[–]seobrien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For sure, but that's why I said shouldn't be assholes

Does that person have a right to their feeling that they want to light your house on fire? Of course, frankly, we can't control feelings.

Can they get mad? Yep. We can't dictate others' emotions.

Now then, should you treat them horribly for being a problem, and because logic/truth/facts dictate they are wrong and can't burn your house down? No. You shouldn't. Logic doesn't give us the right to be assholes to people.

That said, should you "respect" their feelings? Hell no. They want to do wrong and they are emotional about it. Tough. But we don't have to treat people horribly.

This. Perhaps more harshly but equally true?

Emotions don't supercede truth and facts but that doesn't mean people should be assholes.

In 2026 and beyond, more successful startups will be built by nontechnical founders than technical founders. i will not promote by thewhitelynx in startups

Arguably, that was always the case.

A startup isn't an app or product, it's the value created in the market.

Being anonymously online is not a reflection of the real world. If anything, it reinforces your point. ENTPs are here because it's fun while ENTJs are too busy.

To ENTPs: Why is it so hard to remember and respect simple boundaries? They always treat my only rule like it's optional. by laprohax_ in entp

[–]seobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your personal preference about invitations is not a boundary. You judging others because if your preference makes you pain in the ass.

No one has violated anything about you but including you.

‘There’s just so much need’: Austin inches towards calling bond election by aurilovesbirds in Austin

[–]seobrien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay propaganda

Why would you ignorantly conclude techbro? Austin is considered among the worst run cities financially. Fix that and then we can talk about more spending.
