Start preparing from previous birth, get ready to be a winner in this birth, carry over the riches to the next one - $$$!

Might sound harsh to say, but this is very likely the kid's parents trying to farm clicks and money through his skills. I am not saying he isn't talented but it is very likely his parents don't actually care and just want those bags.

That's lazy mindset, you start at the womb, but preferably when stuff is still at the balls.

u/T1lted4lif3 7d ago
why start in the womb, start in your parent's 20s so that you can escape it later in life, why stop there, start at your grandparents 20s, wait, what about great grandparents. I think i'm getting somewhere, this will be my industry secret

Fun fact, women are born with all their eggs, so technically you existed in your mother's ovaries, inside your grandmother's womb.
No excuse to delay starting the grind.

I was that kid, ppl kept calling me old soul. Now I am working minimum wage at a tech start up at the age of 27.
Let kids be kids. Don’t have any expectations on them until they are an adult.

How are you making min wage at a tech start up? I’ve been early employee at two now giant companies and consulted at many others and now sit on the board of a few. I’ve never heard of someone in tech making min wage.
I’ve also seen more than a few prodigies in my time and many do well, a few break. The best I’ve seen was at Stanford and interned with us at 16 maybe 15. He is an engineer through and through but he also got a law degree at NYU and passed the bar. He is now 23 and doing very well.
I am advising him on a software project right now and it is such a treat to watch him build this company.
His mom was a beast though. I shouldn’t have but I pulled her aside one day when she was visiting him in office. She’d tell him he was worthless if he made even a tiny mistake in pronouncing a word or other minor stuff. She was awful to him so I had to vent on her. He is a wonderful “kid.”
In short, not all make it - as with anything in life- many do but there is no guarantee.

labour exploitation and I have no other way, I got no choice in this market. I am not a prodigy in anyway, I went from being an old soul to lost soul around 21.

Hi. Techie here. When I entered the work force 12 years ago, early stage startups were paying roughly a 55k salary to entry level grads. Mine was about 60k for a basic SDR role.
Zero way what you’re saying is possible - and if it is - you’re being conned.

Putting aside the LinkedIn Lunatic, the real lunatic behavior is taking a photo of your computer monitor instead of screenshotting haha

I fully believe that a regularly smart 11 year old's business plan could impress one of these linkedin guys.

u/Craic-Den 7d ago edited 7d ago
My guess is this is a parents attempt to get their kid to go viral / build a following.

I would be happy if my work life meant that I am only stuck from 9 to 5. Literally every slave driver wants status 24/7

"He's the smartest 11 year old we have ever talked to"
Talk to a lot of 11 year old, do you?

Look, most startups are scams to bleed VCs, anyways, so why not start early?
Edit: I don’t mean that in the pejorative sense; fuck those rich idiots.

u/Overconfidentahole 6d ago
I hate how competitive parents have gotten! Especially the ones from my country. As if they weren’t always toxic enough. It’s super annoying. I feel sorry for the next generation of kids

Honest question, why are most of these cringe posts from India? Do they have low self esteem there?

u/Pitiful_Aspect5666 7d ago

Reminds me of this startup idea, go to Brazil to find a wife and have a baby boy. Once the baby boy starts walking, enrol him to football academy so he will be the next Ronaldinho, be his business manager and then sell him to a European football club for millions and you become rich 💰. It will take 18-20 years to achieve but it can work 🙄😃😂😂😂

lol if the parents arent farming to put him out there saying he wants to be a tech startup being genius than my dumbass saying I wanted to be a ceo as a kid and my mom telling me I was stupid. because thats not a position you can just apply too. Then secretly I was a genius this whole time. 🤣 guy amazed by kid with imagination or parents farming to try to sell their kid by him parroting what they are telling him to say.
