I have to admit I m a tragedy when it comes to being first at trying new technology or so which means I ve fallen for more scams and shady situations than I d like to count.

(At least I can warn my friends and family before they make the same mistakes, so that's the only advantage.)

I decided to share some best practices I regret not doing sooner:

Ten years ago, if a Facebook post didn t receive enough reactions, I would delete it immediately.

Yep, 18-year-old Nika was terrified that people would notice her failure. Reality check: when a post flops, almost nobody sees it anyway. The only person who actually suffers from the low engagement is the original poster.

AI is quietly eating the boring parts of startups, and that s where the real value is.

Most people talk about AI in the context of flashy features: code generation, image tools, marketing copy. But the real impact might be happening in the background.
