Tech companies spent $200 billion on AI in 2026.
Then fired 50,000 engineers.
To optimize costs.
You are not expensive.
You are just less profitable than a machine.

i asked a 24 year old founder at a cafe how he built a ₹5 Crore startup in 12 months.
he gave me a 20 minute lecture on waking up at 4 AM, ice baths, and extreme discipline.
then I found out his dad gave him an interest free ₹10 crore check and introduced him to every VC.

- losing your home
- losing your insurance
- losing your identity
-osing your mind

they lost 0.0001% of their valuation.
they'll bounce back.
you might not.
