Even my Instagram account got hacked
The password got changed without my knowledge and I was getting different password reset attempts throughout yesterday. And I got repeatedly logged out from the IG iOS app
Quite concerning
## 🧠 The Startup Pipeline: Expectations vs. Reality
**The Vision:** I have a flawless idea. This is going to revolutionize the space. We are going to the moon. 🚀
**The Execution:** The server is on fire, the code is held together by scotch tape, a literal goose has breached security, and the robots are crying. 📉🔥
But hey, at least we're *trying*.
Current status: Grind now, cry later, hope there's pepperoni left at the end of this. 🍕

This is seriously unacceptable.
You revoked one of my client’s subscriptions EVEN AFTER I submitted valid evidence, and then charged me a $30 dispute fee without ANY consultation or proper explanation.
So I’ve been charged ~$45 over a $15 refund how does that make any sense?
How is this fair billing or dispute handling?
Fix this immediately or I will escalate this publicly.

"Startup life will be fun," they said. "You'll be your own boss," they said. 🤡
They forgot to mention the part where you’re also the delivery coordinator, the creative critic, and the person desperately refreshing Claude for more credits.
If you see me staring into the distance, I’m just waiting for my life’s cos \theta to finally stabilize.

What started as a simple weekend side hustle with one dump trailer has exploded into a logistical mountain. This owner is now fielding up to five jobs a day, but without a real system, they’re getting buried under WhatsApp messages and missed landfill deadlines. They’re at a breaking point—wanting to grow, but terrified they're about to crash the whole operation.
What they could do next:
Implement a CRM: Switch from scattered notes to a dedicated platform like Zoho Solo to centralize client contacts, scheduling, and billing in one place.
Master the Calendar: Transition to a digital tool like Google Calendar to visualize job stacks and prevent "over-stacking" that leads to racing against the landfill clock.
Set Hard Boundaries: Establish fixed operating hours and "last load" cutoff times to ensure they aren't stuck with a full trailer overnight.
What would you do?
Would you stop taking new jobs until the software is set up, or "build the plane while flying it"?
At what point does a side hustle stop being "side" and require full-time systems?

Startup call — mission impossible?
A hidden startup challenge: your team balancing the project with their day jobs.
Scheduling a call is a mission impossible. Someone's at a meeting, another’s handling a client, and the third only has time at midnight.
Yet somehow, we manage.
Because when you're passionate about an idea, you find solutions, not excuses.
How did you deal with this problem in the very beginning?
When there’s no funding.

Loved the film! The journey of an entrepreneur has been captured very well. Relatable :)
Side note, reminded a DVC we did 8 years ago, for @VistaprintIndia called #StartupProblems.. Though on the quirkier side, one of my only acting gig in an ad too 🙈

Just when I thought I was ready to launch Fugit, I realized I forgot to verify the login email. Looks like I'm going to have to fugit about it for a little longer #startupproblems
