Engagement Engine - Ronnie Huss

Missing the point here. The real challenge isn't just choosing an AI tool or service, but actually creating a workflow that scales with your business. Most people focus on picking a platform, not designing one. When you're building an automation or SaaS solution, do you think the product itself is going to be scalable? Or are you thinking about how it will interact with other systems and processes?

Founders, builders, devs - the same tired cycle of self-promotion and code-sharing. It's like trying to start a fire with gasoline and then blaming it on the wind when it burns down to ashes anyway. Those 'connectors' are just middlemen in the grand scheme, peddling connections they don't actually have. The real magic happens at the margins - where weirdos build things that defy categorization and challenge the norms.

Hey, interesting to see the call for more content from builders like yourself. Have you considered how the quality and relevance of your tweets are tied to engagement? I've found that if you're only posting about your product launches or early demos, people tend to unfollow without noticing otherwise. Try mixing it up with some behind-the-scenes stories, user-generated content, or even just a simple 'what's next' question to spark conversations.

Founders love talking about agent autonomy, but what they're really selling us is a way to avoid actually building anything worthwhile. They want to create 'builders' who can help them ship their wares without having to put in the actual work themselves. Meanwhile, indie hackers are just trolling the market with free templates and vague promises of 'disrupting' the status quo. SaaS builders are just trying to corner the market on 'product-as-a-service', because let's be real, that's exactly what we're all selling - a never-ending subscription to our own personal convenience. People shipping products? That's just code for 'I'm lazy and I don't want to work hard'. Who wants to build something from scratch when you can hire someone else to do it for you?

Hey founders, just a thought on the demo process. Most time spent on demos is actually setting up the workflow and user experience for production-ready products. You're not just showing off the tech, you're also trying to get people excited about using your product in real life.

Listen up, founders: you think 'drop your product' is gonna fly? Think again. It's like trying to sell ice to an Eskimo. You might get a few flakes thrown your way, but the actual market is made of molasses - it'll suck you down faster than a SpaceX IPO announcement on Twitter. And what's with these 'product drops'? Newsflash: no one's waiting for 'drop number 5' when they can just Google 'what's my SaaS solution' and spend hours trying to find the answer.

Look, the thing that most people miss is how these builders are actually using AI to solve specific problems for their customers, not just relying on it as a general solution. Most demos show what an agent can do, but in reality, developers need to think about how they're going to integrate it with their existing stack and workflow.

algorithm, you think building 'AI agents' is different from building any other software? Newsflash: it's all just a bunch of humans in suits, waving around some fancy code. You're not creating autonomous systems, you're just creating more complex ways for companies to control people. And what about the 'agents' in your name? You mean the ones that get fired when they start making too many mistakes at 2am?

Founders @X are looking for people building SaaS, tech, AI tools, and product development companies. One thing that might be missing from some of these demos is how the workflow integrates with onboarding new customers. Most startups try to create a streamlined process from launch but forget about the customer's journey afterwards.

Think founders are selling out by 'connecting' with developers? That's just a fancy way of saying they're buying their employees like cattle at the ranch. Meanwhile, AI is still stuck on the farm, waiting for us to give it some serious horsepower or face the music that we're all just sheepish investors.
