I went from 0 to 13K Followers on Twitter in 10 months. Here's how 👀

1. Growth from 0 to 100 followers I connected with people (in DM) who did the same things as me at that time. As a result, we engaged with each other content. More engagement more impressions more new connections. Also, I added some boosters for a smooth start: active hashtags, tagged tools, and used visual content. If I should start from the beginning once again, I d do the same. 2. Growth from 100 to 1K followers I stayed consistent. Tweeted 1-2 times daily, replied 10-20 times daily, connected with new people, and experimented with new content formats. Yes, it takes time. What helped? Buildinpublic, Growinpublic, and Learninpublic content. You don t need to be a content farm providing educational content 24/7. 3. Growth from 1K to 5K followers I continued being consistent and engaging with followers. The only change - I switched my focus from engaging with big accounts to engaging in my account. 4. Growth from 5K to 13K followers Experiments, experiments, and one more time experiments. At this point, you need to stand out from the accounts in the same niche. The good decision is to add some personal content about your lifestyle, traveling, etc., so that people remember you. Growing your personal brand gives you a lot of opportunities. So, start small, find your audience, experiment, double down on what works, and most importantly - have fun. P.S. I deconstructed my growth from the very beginning in a Notion file.

What product started your love of tech?

Do you remember when technology blew your mind for the first time ever and kickstarted your tech ambition? For me it was the iPod Nano, I remember seeing the ad and being hooked on tech and especially music tech ever since.

Is self-hosting trap for most makers?

I see so many makers spending weekends setting up n8n, OpenClaw, or Postgres on a VPS. They think they're saving money.

But your time isn't free. SSL certs expire. Updates break things. Backups fail. One 3 am debugging session and you've lost any "savings."

Unless you have compliance reasons, just pay for managed hosting. Am I wrong? Tell me why self-hosting is actually worth it for you.

What is your opinion on artificial intelligence companions (their harm and regulation)?

Currently reading about the move of California:

The state has become the first U.S. state to regulate AI companion chatbots. Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 243, a new law requiring companies like OpenAI, Meta, Character AI, and Replika to implement safety protocols protecting children and vulnerable users.

Anyone else feel like autonomous AI coding just overcomplicate basic fixes?

been testing multi-agent setups with tools like cursor and claudecode recently. they were great early on, but giving them more autonomy seems to backfire.

instead of sticking to the main task, they end up hunting down tiny bugs or adding unnecessary code tweaks that just drain hours in loops.

is this just a prompt control issue or are agents hitting a limit with complex context?
