If you're not willing to die building what you're building, move on The war will escalate. It may spill over, include a lot of parties.

I'm in Jordan right now, not in direct danger but i do see the missiles from my window as i am typing this WHAT A VIEW. I hear sirens. And I'm in the middle of building a zero knowledge architecture for an AI operating system for founders. Agentic work. Rebuilt Word, Excel, Forms, Calendar to be ai native blah blah blah... Do you see how ridiculous this sounds when F22s are over my head? i have to reflect because is this how i want to die? what will i say to god? I was one step away from PMF, god please put me back?

I am a highschool dropout, my co founder works oil rigs to fund both of us and works between shifts as the business guy, we have it hard.

I don't know. But I can't stop. So I just keep building.

I just wanted to give my voice to the first world, to the Valley specifically.

The world is much bigger than whether Anthropic declines a deal with the DoD. Bigger than whether you raise your seed round. Bigger than whether you fail or get into YC.

If you're not willing to die building what you're building, move on. Take a better hobby. Go into finance or law.

Because some of us are building from places where that question isn't hypothetical.

Looking at what's happening in the world today.

I am 100% convinced Hamas was not a terrorist group, they were resistance group.

Actual terrorist is Israel.

I hope Iran government will finally fall, and those 30,000 dead Iranians will get at least proper burials. And that war won't spread into other countries like yours.

You had me until this.

Be safe, not everything is worth dying for. Certainly in tech.

In situations of high regional instability like this, the immediate concern for the tech sector shifts toward critical infrastructure resilience and the potential for retaliatory cyber-attacks. We often see a spike in sophisticated DDoS attempts and state-sponsored intrusion efforts following such kinetic events. It’s a stark reminder of why 'Air-Gapped' backups and decentralized cloud infrastructure aren't just theoretical luxuries anymore, but survival necessities for global operations.

When insane immoral peole get guns roaming on streets cops put them to jail, kill, or lock in assylum.

Why it should be any different on government scale?

Whether current iran government qualifies as insane lunatics it is a different argument.

But within the given context it’s the only right thing to do unfortunately.

Hang in there. And for your sake I hope it does not escalate. I was surprised that it did not escalate with the previous strike but they're using a much larger match this time so there is a fair chance that it will. Be safe!
