I m Abhijeet. For a long time, I lived behind a title.
I ve spent the last 8 years (including a pivot to NYU for my MSIS) as a Product Manager in the US tech sector. I ve navigated high-stakes roadmaps and spent thousands of hours justifying decisions to stakeholders.
But honestly? I felt like a "ghost" in the machine. I was building success for others, but I didn't have a single thing that was truly mine.
ModelForge v3 by @ForgeOpus just dropped, and it's a big one.
@Apple Silicon support is finally here!
You can now fine-tune LLMs locally on your #MacBook using full MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) acceleration. M1 through M5, your chip was built for this moment.
We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.
I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:
How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on? What signals told you this problem was worth solving? How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution? Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different? What surprised you the most along the way?
