Most people don’t make it past two of the cycles.
Anyone on the planet can build a successful mobile app.
Start with a problem YOU face on a daily basis, and solve it with an app.
1 problem, 1 feature, 1 function.
Keep it simple.
2025 transforms product building forever. AI generates 100x more copycats, makes your code disposable but makes your internet audience priceless. if you don't have 39 clones, you've built something no one wants.
copycats become the new signal for product/market fit in 2025
We failed 2 launches 2024. The third time was the charm – $5.3m ARR in 5 weeks.
This is the story:

work like a lion, not a cow — @naval
39 Rizz app copycats. 12 Glam, 18 Color Analysis & 37 AI Hug apps.
7 copycats appeared just days after DumbPhone launched.
This is just the beginning:
With the marginal cost of building apps going to zero:
2025 will be the year of countless clones and grifters.
It’ll also be the year of more niche-focused and verticalized apps.
Your app will be copied. Or someone will try to carve a niche out of it.
Do not panic.
Build a distribution moat before clones can catch up.
2025 will mark the first year where distribution will matter more than product.

Top hooks that drive sales & why they work:
Post-o3 announcement, businesses need a new engineering playbook:
1) Get every engineer using AI immediately
2) Track adoption and results
3) Measure new productivity baseline
4) Make tough decisions about team composition
It's not crazy to say as a company that you plan to let go engineers that don't use AI in 2025—their productivity without it would mean they're under-performing.
As a rule the people who know the most about something are the pros whose incomes depend on doing it well. The pros at judging tech talent are venture capitalists. If venture capitalists' opinions differ from white nationalists', it's clear who's more likely to be right.
7 Cheat Sheets to Change Your Life
1. Finance Cheat Sheet
Hey Nassim, just finished Skin in the Game. Really enjoyed it. Spot on to what I’m trying to do with don’t die.
On my data, while some markers are more incrementally tied to age than others, fitness markers in general are great proxies for longevity and improved health. VO2 max for example drops only by 5% per decade of life in athletes, compared to 10% per decade in the general population, on average.

This is clearly not genetic fate as it is tied to activity levels and lifestyle choices.
The point around large individual differences stands, hence why I track baseline and trends over longer periods (maximum HR etc) to use as biological age estimates and longevity markers.
I measure maximum HR in conjunction with VO2max, heart rate recovery HRR, and resting heart rate RHR. My VO2Max is top 1.5% among 18-year olds, my HRR is top 1% among the general population (top 25% compared to elite athletes), and my resting heart rate is best 1% of elite athletes. My trends for all these markers are favorable and constantly improving as well.
So I agree that an isolated data point does not mean much, but knowing your trends and assessing the full picture empowers you to reliably measure your performance and assess various interventions and protocols for their real effect on your fitness and health.
