And after months of observing their patterns, it became crystal clear: Their obsession isn’t with the product or real impact—it’s with names like Harvard, Stanford, MBA... blah blah blah. Their startup often isn’t about solving a real problem. It’s a shiny feel-good project—a startup that looks good on paper. But for many of us, this isn’t a sandbox. It’s survival. refined using ai!

If you have to convince people your product is useful, it’s probably not. Real value doesn’t need a sales pitch—it speaks for itself. If people aren’t getting it, the problem isn’t their understanding, it’s your product. Fix that first.
