Tibo (@thsottiaux) has 9 posts in the library. Between them they drew 77,443 likes; the typical one reaches 6,254, and the biggest reached 32,463. Most of that work is about Hiring, AI and Revenue. This is what the posts themselves say about how they write — not a profile, a pattern.

What they write about

  • Hiring — 3 of 9 posts (33%)
  • AI — 3 of 9 posts (33%)
  • Revenue — 2 of 9 posts (22%)

Two or three subjects rather than one: a reader who follows for the first gets the others, which is how a niche account becomes a general one.

How they open

  • 78% of posts open with an observation
  • 11% of posts open with a curiosity gap
  • 11% of posts open with direct address

Half or more of their posts open the same way — an observation. That is a signature, and it is worth reading the three below with that in mind: the move is the same, the subject changes.

We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. Team is moving mountains to give access as fast as we can.

Oops... I did it again.

Hello. We have reset Codex usage limits across all plans to let everyone experiment with the magnificent plugins we just launched, and because it had been a while!

What to borrow

Nothing of theirs — not a phrase, not a number, not a fact. What carries over is the shape.
