🚨 Solo Founder Log #342: The Market Is Sewage
Let’s stop pretending.
I didn’t become a solo founder because I love the hustle, the vision boards, or the cold DMs.
I became a solo founder because I couldn’t find anyone else willing to build without the bullshit.
Every room I walked into reeked of:
☠️ Buzzword necromancy
🤡 Performative "tech leadership"
🧛♂️ Smile-in-your-face, knife-in-your-back operator culture
I'm not here for that.
I’m not a “networking guy.”
I’m not “in it for the journey.”
And I sure as hell don’t care for pitch decks filled with gaslit spreadsheets and fake ethics.
I’m here to build tools that survive lies.
To write protocols that outlive the hype cycles.
To verify behaviour — because trust is extinct.
---
So here’s a message for the ecosystem:
If your moat is clout, not code —
If your roadmap is just vibes and VC fumes —
If your “founder story” reads like a conman’s résumé —
You should be nervous.
Because while you're crafting your next pitch,
some of us are still writing code
like it's a weapon
aimed at your entire business model.
