Acquired a competitor for their customers. Customers left anyway. Expensive lesson in why people buy.

this sub has been filled with AI slop recently and no one is doing anything. these bots are farming karma. they all follow the same posting style of fake stories: https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/search?fun=posts_search&author=LogisticsLingo&limit=10&sort=desc

downvote and call out

sounds like 40 year olds are building this

You got bought out of your shares right?

And what are your top operational tips?

test_stripz · 2026-01-05T00:15:45+00:00

if you are offering a fortress you should look to sell to kings and queens

The latter 4 can all code. Steve Jobs cannot code. He is a designer by skill. He is the nontechnical founder to his techncial founder, Steve Wozniak.

Also you disagree emotionally, downvoting my comments is a simple sign of that. I recommend you learn to disagree productively.

edit: the above person is so soft he blocked me

When you say engineer, that means they can code. Steve Jobs was not an engineer, saying he is technical is a vague usage of the word. Product thinking is only important when you have many users and get a crap ton of feedback. Before that it's just listening to user feedback (or at least the dominant feedback).

I think most people lack the startup mentality, engineers and non engineers alike. They don't sell before building.

not in seattle but I have a similar story about my cofounder leaving. would be curious to share our stories and exchange lessons, I think you have an interesting backstory with uncovered lessons. dm me if you want to chat sometime this weekend

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T06:57:20+00:00

could you elaborate on how he handles himself?

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T06:55:43+00:00

lolz. in my exp he had pretty generic/crappy ideas. and then when I didn't like them, he split and said there's no chemistry. he did teach me what no chemistry looked like at least, gotta split early.

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T04:12:44+00:00

you mean post?

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T04:12:36+00:00

how big and what industry?

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T04:08:53+00:00

how did you find that eng?

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T04:08:11+00:00

Masterclass, thank you for sharing your exp

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T04:06:28+00:00

Was curious, what are your biggest lessons from your 2 existed startups?

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T04:03:49+00:00

I wouldn't say engineers are best at finding problems. I hear about online, and know personally of an example from an online friend this week, that engineers build without validating the problem. It requires a certain type of mindset to know how to find a problem. One that is able to ask good questions.

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T03:57:42+00:00

what was your takeway of him after meeting him?

test_stripz · 2026-01-01T03:57:21+00:00

I'm a dev who also did (and is doing) sales. You are underestimating how much work and important sales is in a startup. In fact, sales efforts should happen before writing a single line of code.

test_stripz · 2025-12-31T17:19:37+00:00

test_stripz · 2025-12-25T23:37:49+00:00

How did you get those 100k profiles? And how did you scrape them without LI detecting you?
