Day 14: Reality checks about start-up and community

So people are actually joining the discord to do daily coding tasks together. Not gonna lie, feels pretty good when your random idea gets some traction.

Knocked out my DSA milestone today, which was satisfying. Then randomly got approached by someone with a startup idea – had to turn it down because it’s basically been done everywhere already. Classic case of thinking you found a goldmine when you actually found fool’s gold.

Ended up pivoting to help with my friend’s project instead, which actually has some legs. Meanwhile, had a humbling moment where I realized that big idea I’ve been thinking about? Yeah, that’s more like a decade-long project. Time to think smaller and more realistic.

The best insight today came from a random conversation: « post a glimpse of your idea and check if people are ready to pay for it. » Basically, validate your concept before you spend months building something nobody wants. Simple but brilliant.

Planning to dive deeper into ML tomorrow. The journey continues.

What’s your take on idea validation? Do you test demand before building?
