I advice on Product Management | Growing your customer base | Career Growth

2X-Founder | Author | Growth | Ultra Runner | Writer

From failed startups to scaling Truepush to 100B+ notifications monthly and 4,500+ customers worldwide, I've learned what it takes to build products people need and grow them relentlessly.

I built Truepush from paper wireframes to becoming a top 10 global player in our category. At Alohaa.ai, I doubled sales within just 3 months and drove consistent month-over-month revenue growth.
Beyond business, I push limits personally. 

I recently completed an 82.4km ultra run during a 12-hour stadium event. Mountains, travel, and nature are where I find liberation through both excitement and boredom.

Learning obsessively fuels everything I do. I've devoured 336+ books, and continuously invest in courses (Mindvalley, MasterClass, Matt Gray, Justin Welsh, Reforge and more).

When knowledge compounds with consistent execution, results follow:

- Built a 25,000-person startup community across 3 cities
- Published 250+ LinkedIn posts in 2024 alone
- Recognized among the top 1% of mentors on Topmate.io
- Created Solopreneur OS to help others identify market gaps and build growth systems

All while maintaining 7 hours of sleep nightly, seeing friends regularly, and maintaining my unusual preference for vegetables over chocolate (though I love both).

Want to build something great? Let's connect.

OpenAI just raised $110 bn (Rs. 10 lakh crores only/-)

Only that much.

There are 3 types of people who smile a lot in Starbucks or Thirdwave

1) Friends
2) People working on a new Idea, together
3) People who are still hiring people into Ponzi-like schemes

Just my observation (3rd type seems constant, and it's disappointing)

There is too much BS on Linkedin these days and I am staying back out of necessity to connect with relevant people.

With AI, everyone started to say

1) 30 hours saved
2) $500k in pipeline
3) I am working with 11 AI agents

Fine, good, but - 

1) 30 hours saved - But along with it, share the quality of work it did, screw ups, learnings too
2) $500k pipeline, but based on your industry standard, whats your TAT  from pipeline to paying customers, are you getting revenue?
3) 11 AI agents. Fine. So? I will hire an intern and ask them to create 100 agents. What does it prove?

If you are sharing something - either tell us the quality you bench mark or revenue. Only these two are signals. Rest all is noise. 

PS: The noise level of BS is feeling like bad AQI in one of the large cities we know.

At Alohaa we work with Voice bots and Voice Streams, and I keep getting curious, here is why - 

While the mass is adapting to AI on Text, Voice AI has its own challenges. 

In India, the accent starts changing in almost every district. This means that to train one language, you can't just train in one accent or dialect. 

There are multiple companies building good models that can understand multiple Indian languages, accents, and dialects. And it's amazing to see how good they are.

Pair it with Voice latency on Telecom lines (Which we are trying to solve with Voice Streams)
Pair it with the issue with getting numbers into spam(Which we are solving use few methods)
Pair the Telecom rules in India with different sectors. For examples in the Financial Sector, with TRAI rules with 1400(promotional) and 1600(Transactional) number series, which started to show lower pick up rates.

While the AI models are one big step for Indian languages, another challenge is the Infra + Regulations.

At Alohaa, we wrote a book on how to be compliant for the Fintech sector and gave those away for free at events we attended, consulted with a few NBFCs to migrate and avoid penalties, and see where we can help or collaborate.

At least in the Voice AI ecosystems, multiple companies have to work together and grow the Industry as collaborators, friends, and grow together rather than growing thought a Enterprise sales cycle.

We try our best to do this from Alohaa, and hopefully the circle grows

PS: If you know anyone working in the Voice AI Industry, do tag them. The more the merrier.

Do things that AI can't do, like 

sleeping well
eating well
exercising
meeting friends
travelling
reading books
telling jokes
learning languages

What will you add to the list?

For most(or all) of us who are lucky to have privilege of education, work and health. Our needs are always met(food, shelter, cloths, some good relationships). 

It’s the wants that are hard and we try to make meaning out of it.

Why we need personal wealth - we need to have clarity first so we know what’s a good number to hit.

I am not saying you shouldn’t build great things , scale and make insane money.

If you have potential (which you have), you should absolutely go for it.

Just that, having clarity will make you differentiate and then actually spend money on things that matter to ‘you’.

For SaaS products, you have AWS credits,
What do you have for Voice bots to deploy on Telecom lines to make phone calls?

From Alohaa , we are planning to give 10,000 minutes of voice streaming (soon)
Which is more than you will need to deploy your bot, test it out, and launch in the market.

Working out on the launch plan currently,
But if you want to take advantage of getting this early (or people you know)

If you are offering companies to deploy your voice bot to make phone calls, 
DM me, we are here to support.

Do share your 1) website, 2) stage of development for the voice bot with me on DM, 3) email id, and 4) phone number. (So it's easy for us to evaluate, reach out to you to coordinate, and avoid to and fro conversations of the obvious)

PS: Once we launch and reach out to ecosystem partners, the turnaround time to verify and give you credits may take time, so if you reach out now, we can get you those credits with less wait.

No lock-ins, no contracts.

In India, most of the adoption feels like it's coming from coders, like everywhere else, but in marketing, it feels like it still needs a lot of adoption. 

The reason, my guess is, is purchase parity. For a product that is $100 in the US, we see the same perceived value at $40. 

Images and videos using AI are not cheap. Even other AI tools in marketing don't feel cheap. 

Another reason could be that Marketing needs a lot of experimenting. With code, you can see the output. With marketing, it's still a guesswork. So it may feel safer to go with what's already working than try new tools (the results are visible after a few days or weeks sometimes).

For experimenting, at least for the small to medium startups, it feels like a lot because you end up spending a lot. 

If we compare people versus AI tools, AI feels much better, but got to see how much it will be a common practice soon. 

PS: Or maybe the adaptation is good, and I may not be seeing it well in immediate circles. What's your observation?

AI is helping me do many things and it's scary, here is why -

Firstly, I see myself as a generalist in understanding, and having depth with marketing.

Secondly, with AI (using Claude code), I know I can build few things, but then, do not know if I can understand scale or depth.

I haven't focused enough on creating agents, but it will be inevitable not to create agents and get things done.

So anything with some understanding of agents(easy part) + strategy(hard part) can make agents do - Research, compose data, send emails to relevant people for research, build specific landing pages based on personas, make content for ads / seo  (or even run campaigns by themselves in the future)

While I can take this data, use whispr like tools, talk to my command line (or just input the data from research) and let the claude agents orchestrate things and build a product, while I read a book, make tea, or go out for a walk.

There is something called The Jonah Complex - It is the terrifying realisation that you are capable of far more than you are currently doing, which creates pressure to live up to that potential. 

It's that, now you know you can do so many things, and the pressure build up gets the best of you (while we try to catchup with AI, try to avoid burn out while making 20-30X decisions in short time, that we are used to).

If the potential to create anything is scary, I don't know what is.

We will only remain sane, only when we are clear of purpose and direction (at least on the SaaS side of things)

Or else, it's easy to be lost, pressured and even broken now living up to what we can do. And anything that makes us value less isn't worth it.

Things are changing top down (early adapters -> everyone else).

Time to embrace the change. Sooner the better.

PS: The above automation, even to make it, needs conviction, time and a mental framework how things needs to be done and what output you intended to get(hard part). Once we know, it's easy to get things done.

The hard part (direction and purpose) never changes.

Vibe coder, vibe marketer, vibe writer. Fine. Let’s also vibe some good life? Just saying.

A good piece of writing advice is that you have to write as you speak, 
and with tools like Wispr Flow (speech-to-text tool), I feel like you can just speak and it writes, 
So, more or less, it's in the speaking language. 

This week I wrote two posts with Wispr, and the engagement was pretty good. 

When I went back and read those posts, I did feel like they were more natural, conversational, and made a point across quickly(saved a ton of time).

PS: Even this post is written like that.

AI Anxiety - here is how I plan to deal with it and do better things with life.

A short read.

Hey Reader, I don’t know about you. But things changing in AI are not very exciting for me, yet. I am a marketer. Last year, I tried 50 tools and publ

Open article: AI Anxiety - A Personal Discourse by Manoj Surya • 5 min read

Forming an identity and believing is the hardest 

I published a book if someone says I’m a writer, it will take me a moment to realise it is true

I ran for 12 hours covering 82.4km and yet on the day of the run, at the start like, I felt I did not belong there

With marketing sometimes it works in 3 days sometimes in 3 months, easy to have self doubt if I know things well

The voice of imposter syndrome for any creator or a good operator is usually high

Over the years I learnt to see it as a background noise. Nothing more, noting less

If you have imposter syndrome despite results, just know it’s normal

Jack Dorsey cut down 4000 employees out of 10,000, even when their company is already profitable.

He used terms like " intelligent tools - instead of saying it's due to AI

Do those 4000 people won't get jobs?
I think they will.

I feel that with all this AI wave, this is the first time for our generation where we need to adapt to new things, or at least be aware of what is happening.

There are three types of people who may thrive
1) People who create things with AI (Creators) - but still learn the old business strategies (eg, Right to win principles)

2) People who Adapt to AI (Operators) - meaning they know which tool to use when, efficiently

3) 80% of the people who are unaffected because they aren't in the technology in the first place (the whole world isn't on LinkedIn, remember? It's only a small portion)

Here is what I feel we should focus on going forward

1) Companies should spend money on their staff on new tools to try. If not, employees should and must spend their own money and learn to stay relevant

2) Creators have to see how their tool can differentiate for a large audiance, or cater to a specific niche, so winning and growing is sustainable

3) Be healthy mentally and physically, because AI gives you burnout, because it spins out the output in a few seconds, and we haven't been used to making a million judgment calls in a short time. We need our body and mind to be healthy

4) Friends - yes, the show with this name helps, but having real friends will make more sense for us in the world. AI Wave is fine, but sitting on that wave on a boat with friends makes it better.

5) Lone time with the brain - We need to keep away from gadgets so our brains get resting time, thinking time, and time to wander. Without this, we are less human. 
Currently, the best way be more human is to do nothing, literally.
When is the last time you rememeber day dreams? Or looking at the stars? Or heard a bird chirp? (What's wrong with us, have you thought?

The way forward is AI Adaptation + being more human.

Let's accept that, change our day and week schedules for this. We all will be in a better place, as we should be.

People are saying tech people are not writing code anymore, and software is cheap, and anyone can code. 

The thing that is not getting popular is that non-tech people can code or make apps.

The reason is that it's very complex for a non-tech person. Somebody who knows what goes where and what to ask, it's easier for them to get things done, but for a non-tech person, what to ask is also a very big deal. 

It gets very confusing very quickly. 

I did code in college, but then I had to relearn a lot of basics the last few months just to go and vibe code again. I thought I'd manually code, but then I started to vibe code because I know what to ask, at least the basics, and I'm so happy that I've spent a few months learning all the basics again, so I know what to ask and not get lost! I did try Replit, Loveable, to make some apps, but it gets into hallucination, and the apps were never made. 

Because I won’t know what's going on! It will throw an error, and I would never understand what it is. 

So, it's still a good idea to go learn to code, and learning to code is cheap in terms of cost. The only thing is time, but it's an asset. Once you learn, it will stay with you for a long time. I tried Scrimba, got a good discount, and I paid ₹4,000 for a year. I would spend about 30 minutes every day. That’s why it took me a very long time. 

For me, it’s like a hobby, a side project, or an interest. I do know that it's a skill that I need to develop, because going forward, apps may be more dependent on APIs than plugins or interfaces. 

If I want to create some workflow or AI agent or anything, so I am not dependent on the tech team or where I'm not paying a bomb for software, which I could instead make on a weekend. Go to Scrimba, it's cheap, or if you find something similar, you can try, but this is really good. 

If you are a non-tech person, just don't stress about learning quickly. Give it like 30 minutes every day, or like three times a week, it doesn't matter, as long as you're getting somewhere and getting an idea of what this all is about.If you want to do something really quickly, you can go and check Codefast by Mark Lou. I tried that too. That’s where I actually could understand the whole picture of what happens in a SaaS. Then I went to Scrimba and learned the details. 

I did enjoy it, so for me, I didn't really mind just going back to it every day for like 30 minutes or working on it. Just try their free modules and see if it is working for you. Things are changing a lot, especially not tech people. 

I feel like they should learn about some basics of tech. Otherwise, it might get hard, or you might be paying a lot for software. If you are in a startup and on a low budget, this is a good way to innovate and try to do things your way. 

PS: If you are a tech or non-tech person in SaaS, like to know your views on this.

I want to start a Mind-brush up Meetup for SaaS creators 
Will be divided into 3 segments

Basically, you will come, write down everything you want to do,
Brainstrome, discuss, write down information gaps
Write down your success criteria

all this in the first segment

Second segment -> You will reserach on google(not AI) for fact and information checks as needed, write down what you think, discuss

Third segment -> Use AI to compare results from your think and what it says.

You preserve your original thinking, while also using AI to validate, add up more flavour than you do it alone.

You will also be less biased.

Or you can do this at your home or office, individually, if you like this format (to much effort to gather people anyway)

With the tools getting faster, the advantage anyone would have is to slow down in thinking and look at which direction to take. Once decided, execute it fast with the tools.

Better Thinking =

Better mental health
Not stressed out
A mind that is happy
Have depth of the field they are working on at some level
Intuition 
Working with the right people
Managing timelines
Knowing what to cut down
Knowing what to prioritize
Staying sane while all this is happening

What do you think?

👋 Hello, my name is Meenank & I can say, I'm living my dream ✨

🎓 An Engineering dropout, but I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Applications (Apr. 2020)

🌇 I'm a native from Bengaluru, India (Currently in Spain 🇪🇸) with a passion for creating content and developing implementable organic marketing strategies that will grow your SaaS business.

📚 My experience involves working with influencers & creators all my life.

✏️  Started content writing out of passion in 2016 and wrote 100s of articles for FREE for an year, to only discover we can get paid for it. 
✏️ Took on my first biggest client, Milaap and ranked my article/pillar post for the keyword "Crowdfunding India" 
✏️ Worked as a Head of Operations at India's first offline club for Digital Marketers (DM Club) alongside Deepak Kanakaraju (aka Digital Deepak)
✏️ Helped take PitchGround from $1M to $20M bootstrapped, as a head of marketing and handled a teams across diff. timezones where it involved collaborating cross-departmentally and leading through teaching and mentorship. 
✏️ Learnt the ins & outs of content creation, shooting videos from Ukranian filmmaker Valeriy & Digital Pratik from India.

❤️ PitchGround also taught me how to move from Ideation to Execution and thus resulted in millions of dollars in revenue! (Thx Udit Goenka)

💻 I have a blog where I crunch about SaaS Marketing ⚡ (Check it out: SaaSMarketer.xyz) coming soon

So in essence, I am living my dream, working with a laptop from the shores of Spain  🏖

✅ I’m well-versed in writing, planning and crafting quality content, public speaking, event planning and organizing, SaaS marketing, and making videos.

📸 In my free time, I love taking film photos, take up courses and attend events to meet new people! 

☕️ If you’re interested in grabbing coffee and talking shop (or to hear how I made my journey till here), please send an email/DM my way.

Why does Google Calendar warn me 30 minutes before a meeting… and then go completely silent when it actually starts?

Because in those 30 minutes, I’ve already forgotten the meeting exists. 🙈

I make B2B founders famous to the right 500+ people

2016 Meenank: Nah, no way I'm spending 1000s of dollars on a public speaking course

2026 Meenank: Hired a top public speaking coach to become confident and articulate 


The 2016 me would cheap out on growth. ❌
The 2026 one understands that storytelling shapes narratives and attracts clients. ✅


It took me a decade to learn not to cheap out.
But you? You can choose not to cheap out today. 

In fact, your mind exactly knows what you're cheaping out on at this moment. 

It could be a course, therapy, a coaching program, etc. 

So, are you strong enough to make the choice to spend on yourself today?

This is Preeti Malik, and I'm watching her video on my laptop. 
Any guesses what I did with the video?

I put my headphones on,
Add mushrooms to my coffee,
cut 45 mins of video into 1min 20 secs using Capcut. 

⚡️ Preeti posted it, and her reach increased by +100% on that post. 

I go home happy as a content strategist, as I live to fight another day against AI.
 
What's the takeaway, you ask?
→ effin REPURPOSE the sh**t of existing content. 
→ Video reach is high (so post a video)

Could AI do this? maybe. 

OR

Was it my "tasteful" editing or just sheer luck that outperformed the mighty Claude AI?

Maybe you can be the judge and tell me? 👇🏻

What an abomination. Look at that headline. Yuck.

🛑 STOP posting AI slop on LinkedIn 
Do this instead:

→ Post your perspective
Hate someone, but love someone else? POST IT. 
eg: You hate Hubspot, so you shifted to Attio 

→ Post your POV
You disliked digging into CRMs and spent hours and here's what you learnt from it. 

→ Post value that you'd steal yourself
Notion docs, Google Sheet planners, AI prompts, agents, resources, and info-effin-graphics. (learn from the god of infographics, Vincent Pierri for this one)

→ Stand the f**k up for something
Hate an evil practice that you think is screwing your industry? 

👏👏 TALK ABOUT IT 👏👏

Stop sharing generic info. 
It doesn't work anymore.

Don't post AI on LinkedIn, instead post this

This Peter Thiel startup just went kaput. 
This is the fall of icon → AI startup that made ads 

Experts will tell you it's the $12M domain name (icon .com) or mismanagement of funds, but that's not the real reason. 

The real reason SaaS companies fail is by "failing to deliver on promises"

Their pitch was "produce 100 ads in 90 minutes. " 
LinkedIn AI bois called it the end of "design agencies" 

But guess what happened,
It never really delivered 100 ads in 90 minutes. 

It threw in errors, 
produced repeated ads, 
software was slow and clunky to use. 

Customers became frustrated because the unsubscribe button was hidden.

Their CEO then said, they're becoming a design agency and employees need to work all 7-days a week. 

What a sham. 

AI bois will say, AI is still catching up
Anti AI bois will say, AI won't replace humans 

and all I see is a product that didn't work, overpromised, heavily under-delivered along with a toxic CEO. 

Had to end.

Your 20s are not for playing it safe.

I spent mine like a bull charging at everything.

Not strategically. Not carefully. Just full-on attack mode.

While everyone around me was:
→ Playing defense with their careers
→ Waiting for the "right time"
→ Saving for a rainy day

I was swinging at every opportunity like my life depended on it.

Did I fail? A LOT.
Did I look stupid? Multiple times.
Did I burn bridges? ask my previous founders (They'll block you for uttering my name)

But here's what attack mode gave me:

✅ Skills I'd never learn playing safe
✅ Connections from putting myself out there
✅ Stories that actually mean something
✅ Most of what I wanted by 30

Defense mode feels smart. It feels responsible.
But it's just fear wearing a suit.

Your 20s are the one decade where:
- You can recover from almost any failure
- You have energy to outwork your mistakes
- The cost of swinging and missing is LOW

The cost of NOT swinging? You wake up at 35 wondering "what if."

So if you're in your 20s reading this:

Stop protecting what you don't even have yet.
Go attack something.

Go, be the bull. 🐂

Are you a LinkedIn ghostwriter or social media manager? 
I've got news for you. Both good and bad.

Let's rip the bandaid off first,

Bad news:
🛑 AI can do your writing job. 
It matches tone. 
It writes like a human. 
Feed it, and watch it follow the brand voice. 

You're not writing anymore. You're just instructing. 
You've gone from author to editor. From creator to prompt engineer.

If you got into this career for the love of writing,  
the craft, the flow, the blank page 

THIS WILL STING. 

I get it cos I got into this for the love of the craft ✨
I'm now facing a bit of an identity crisis 😢

Now, the good news (and this is where it gets interesting):
✅ The role hasn't died. It's leveled up.

Founders don't just want words on a screen anymore. 
They want a content partner,
someone who thinks about the full picture:

→ The LinkedIn post that stops the scroll
→ The lead magnet that converts readers into leads
→ The infographic that makes people save and share
→ The newsletter that's been repurposed from the LI post 

followed by the strategy that ties it all together🤌🏻

I've realised this is no longer a writing job.

This means:
❌ Writers who stay in their lane (words only) get replaced
Because founders feel they can write using Claude. 

But the ones who evolve? Who build the full-service offer?

They land retainers that actually reflect their value.
They become irreplaceable. 
They raise prices. 

The choice is simple:
Stay a writer → get commoditized.
Become a content partner → stay indispensable.

P.S. - "How tf do I do LinkedIn design now?…"

I built a system for it. More on that below. 👇

In my next post, I'm breaking down the Assembly Line Method: the exact content production system I'm using.

Experts are using this to gain 1,000–2,000 followers/month without burning out or sacrificing quality.

lmk if you're interested for this and if you've read it till here ❤️

Cluely's CEO is a liar.
Here's exactly how he manipulated all of us, including VCs: 
 
First,
He lied about $7M ARR to raise $15M from a16z.

Next,
Spent all the money on memes, influencer marketing to create hype. 

And now, a year later, 
He posted about this on "X" that he had lied but unintentionally. 

This only tells me a few things:

→ VCs also fall for content hype and good vibes
→ LinkedIn bros will hype up any news that comes forward
→ Using paid ads for hype creation and memes > paid ads for revenue 

If you can create controversy + hype on social media, 
You can grow, even if you got less revenue. 

Cluely is just 1 such example. Imagine how many such startup founders are boasting their FAKE numbers on LinkedIn. 

Insane times, we're living in.

Ps - Don't sleep on LinkedIn. You can do this kind of hype for your own business (ethically ofc)

I approached a stranger at a coffee shop today.

Just walked up to her, introduced myself, and asked what she does for work.

(Yes, I'm that awkward guy who talks to strangers in cafés now)

She looked up from her laptop, smiled and said:

"I know who you are. I've been following your journey."

I froze. 

My brain short-circuited for a second.

Here I was, gathering courage to talk to a random person...
And she already knew me.

It hit me hard.

When you post on LinkedIn, you see numbers.
Impressions. Reactions. Comments.

But you don't see the girl quietly reading your stuff at a coffee shop in some random part of the city.

You don't see the people who never comment but screenshot your posts.

You don't see who's watching.

I walked back to my seat thinking...

Your content travels further than you think.
Your words land in places you'll never know about.
Your impact is bigger than your analytics tell you.

So if you're posting and wondering "is anyone even reading this?"

Yes. Someone is.
They just haven't told you yet.

Keep showing up. 💙

Meenank using his laptop sitting at a coffee shop

I'm usually the first guy to get fired from a company. 
And Jack just fired 4000 humans like me. Here's how I look at this:

First, this news hits really hard for me. 
Imagine replacing 4000 of your workforce with AI? 

We can't hide behind anymore - AI is replacing jobs. :-(

I have 5 things I want you to do: 

1) You need to become indispensable.
You're a social media strategist, but aren't designing or writing posts? 
LEARN TO DO IT. 

You're an SEO guy who hates to do backlinking/Reddit?
LEARN TO DO IT.

You're a social media manager, shy about coming on camera?
LEARN NOT TO BE SHY.

You call yourself a growth marketer?
LEARN FUNNELS, LEADGEN, LANDING PAGES, DATA CRUNCHING, etc. 

2) Stop productizing services (Go full-service) 
Anything that is productized is something AI can do. However, AI can't do the full service offering you'd offer. 

eg: We offer 15 DFY LI posts a month ❌
As many LI posts + outreach as it takes to get you leads. ✅

3) Learn AI tools 
We're at a point where AI expertise is no longer "good to have". It's mandatory now. It raises your value in the market. 

I just bought Adam Andrewjeski's OpenClaw course. 

4) Become a generalist
Generalists are going to thrive here as they're agile. They're jack of all trades, which makes them seamlessly flow like water into adjacent skills. 

5) Save money 
Jack is offering generous 5-month pay for people who got laid off. 
Your company won't. 

NO bad EMIs.
NO taking up home loans. 
 
Capitalism has come to a point where it's brutal. Jack's company's stock rose by 25% when he announced this.

The market is celebrating replacing humans. 

Disrupt yourself 
or get disrupted. 

You got a decision to make.

CEOs have gone mad. 

Some of them are asking for 10x from marketers...

"10x marketing output" bcs AI now exists. 

Let's realistically look at how a marketer can achieve that:
→ Make more AI slop posts
→ Publish more AI slop lead magnets
→ Generate more AI slop led landing pages 
→ Write boring whitepapers that no one would really consume 

Is this what 10x marketing output looks like with AI?

Ps - I know CEOs will actively avoid this post.

Is there any real use case of AI apart from generating AI slop? 


you can't depend on it for therapy 
you can't make it do complex stuff

it just says yes to everything you say...

and lastly tries too hard to replace you. 

Billionaires running AI are winning
Common people are losing jobs

The people in between try to make money with AI wrappers, convincing you slop is good. 

This whole thing feels like one giant mess 

where almost, nobody 
is able to keep up with AI updates anymore.

anyone with me?

The same Claude we use has been used to take over Iran, Venezuela and bomb people. 

Isn't it wild?

It sucks how you so well optimized your life to finish work soon, and the world sees you as jobless. 

If you're working 8 hours or more a day as an employee, I frankly feel that it's a skill issue truly. 

Output > timing
