The Reddit account that never gets banned is the one that actually uses Reddit.

What to do, what not to do, and how a B2B founder turns threads into pipeline without torching the account. 2,610 karma, 1.6M views, and 162 Clearbox signups behind the list: ten DO and DON'T pairs, how accounts get banned, why competitor threads are product, marketing, and sales data, and how Clearbox stays on the read side of your account.

the GTM coding agent hit 100 stars: I ran its Quick Start live in Claude Code

Episode 2 of Founder's Journey is live. The GTM coding agent repo crossed 100 GitHub stars, so I open it up, define go-to-market engineering, and run the repo's own Quick Start — `help me set up` — until Claude scaffolds a whole GTM knowledge base: a CLAUDE.md under 200 lines, a README, and a clean folder tree.

70 GitHub Stars, 17 Chapters, and the Operating System Behind My GTM Work
