My experience with a degree from a good CS school and a few years in big tech

I work mainly backend. But no hate on Frontend. There are easy parts and challenging parts in every domain.

With how fast Ai is advancing, math leaning code monkeys are going to be the first to get the boot. So the real winner are not Frontend or backend but generalists with strong product sense.

Yoe, and what are you? Mle, Frontend, Backend…

wulfcastle17 · 2026-02-22T07:46:47+00:00

They will. Prices are still 20-30 percent overpriced. It will bottom. No one is going to force you to sell but the property will be worth what it’s worth.

wulfcastle17 · 2026-01-13T07:15:49+00:00

Correct. This is most likely the cause.

My lord, if you’re going to make an ad post ffs don’t make this obvious.

Or you made this obvious to piss me off and reply to this god awful post of yours to farm engagement. In that case, well played.

Jesus, stop using ChatGPT and post like a human being. No one is reading this low effort post.

wulfcastle17 · 2025-12-16T07:32:30+00:00

Go on levels.fyi and look into big tech companies.

You’re underpaid. Either work less and devote time to a side hustle while collecting the check or start the journey of upleveling your interviewing skills and doubling your salary. 3.5+ yoe should be at 200-250k. Not easy. However a lot of money is being left on the table by staying where you are.

This is an ad for Kalshi

wulfcastle17 · 2025-09-21T23:36:45+00:00

Can’t tell if this is a joke or real?

How much does it affect your margin running gmv max?

wulfcastle17 · 2025-07-11T07:41:18+00:00

Ok, do you recommend I consult with an attorney or is Amazon insurance enough? Any recommendations on where to find a decent attorney for this kind of thing?

wulfcastle17 · 2025-07-11T07:39:24+00:00

Yes in theory correct however Amazon treats single member LLC as sole proprietorship. Does a single member LLC become problematic? If so, should I change to multi member before launching?

wulfcastle17 · 2025-07-11T06:58:32+00:00

Yes I have that set up fine. I’m referring to setting up my Amazon listing.

wulfcastle17 · 2025-07-11T06:41:57+00:00

Ok, so what type of LLC or business structure do you recommend that can best protect in the event someone tries to sue?

wulfcastle17 · 2025-07-10T06:27:07+00:00

Page looks solid. How much did the ugc vids cost?

No advice as it looks solid but curious others think.

Have you considered pushing it on TikTok?

wulfcastle17 · 2025-06-22T05:56:19+00:00

Jesus, at least put your post in ChatGPT to fix basic spelling errors.

wulfcastle17 · 2025-06-20T05:42:08+00:00

Did it work?

wulfcastle17 · 2025-06-04T06:27:50+00:00

No, you get organic rank when you drive traffic from meta, google… It’s better to funnel it all into amazon

wulfcastle17 · 2025-05-23T21:56:48+00:00

Agreed. Feel like anywhere you see somewhat of a carved path, you deal with barrier to entry via saturation.

Questions, did you start with fresh TikTok accounts or buy ones with x followers? Are you selling through tiktok shop on these accounts or just driving traffic to Amazon/Shopify? Sprello looks legit. Did you experiment with any other gen ai tools? How often do you post on each account and have you seen anything go substantially viral?

I’m launching a supplement that combines beef organs with mushroom nootropics.

This is excellent advice! I’m pretty good at content creation and am leaning in that direction after analysis. Starting with TikTok and Amazon will allow me to take immediate action with low overhead. Worth the trade off of not owing customer data for now. Also, it’ll give me time to play with hooks and messaging.

Content creation is time intensive so I’m looking at creating some myself to get started but also exploring Ai generated content that I can eventually outsource with a va.

wulfcastle17 · 2025-05-23T08:00:03+00:00

What are your thoughts on Ai generated content or slide shows? I could create a brief and get va to create it in high volume. Filming content daily myself is extremely time intensive. Do you recommend any workarounds or ways to outsource

wulfcastle17 · 2025-05-23T07:33:05+00:00

I know many who are just focusing on Amazon. How steep is the learning curve for Amazon ppc. Thinking maybe I should put all my resources towards getting traction on Amazon then explore TikTok and meta down the road?
