I don't think everyone needs to be good at everything.

I'm trying to get better at saying what I could use another human for, and what I might actually be useful for in return.

What I could use help with

I am much more comfortable making something than telling the world I made it. I would especially like to meet people who enjoy communication, positioning, developer relations, marketing, community work, or helping technical people explain themselves. I am also always interested in people trying to build an independent life through software, writing, games, art, research, or some combination that does not have a tidy job title.

I can also turn a perfectly reasonable tool into an operating system with alarming efficiency, so occasional scope sanity is welcome. Sometimes the useful contribution really is: Furkan, no.

What I can probably help with

I am good at going deep into a problem, taking vague product ideas apart until the interesting part becomes clearer, thinking through software and systems, and giving rough work an honest second pair of eyes. Specs, prototypes, architecture, early product ideas, weird technical problems — rough is fine.

You do not need a pitch deck. In fact, I may be more useful before the pitch deck exists.
