If Wikipedia started charging say $1/mo tomorrow… every missing article would be totally unacceptable, and every error would have people cancelling. When you think about it, free Wikipedia feels like a gift, while paid Wikipedia would be kind of a subpar product. That’s the

Content that could have been written by anyone gets treated like it was written by no one. No personality, no edge, no reason for a reader to feel like they’re hearing from an actual human. Don’t let the is happen to your content, seriously! We need authenticity more than

The number of SaaS founders sending emails from a default provider address with no authentication set up is genuinely wild. Your emails are going to spam and you don’t even know it.

Chat interfaces require way more cognitive work than people realize. I find it tiring sometimes. I mean, you have to remember what you want, translate it into words, guess what phrasing the AI understands, do the whole back and forth dance, and track the conversation, summarize

Had a blast chatting with Adrian about workflows, tools, and building in the AI era. Check out the interview below ⬇️ https://t.co/Uo1prm6ktU

The newsletters make more money than any SaaS I’ve ever built. I fought that reality for years, but fuck it, now I guess I gotta lean into it. Sometimes the business finds you before you find the business.

This. This is why I like email newsletters. Social media is rented land. https://t.co/DKxwB80Knm

Alright, @denicmarko and I just launched DaiyTipDev on Product Hunt. A newsletter for devs and founders about distribution, logic, and the decisions that happen around the code. Would absolutely love your support today 🙏 https://t.co/AbzVjeoTj4

This same deployment also had a very obvious {% TODO remove before deploying to prod %} block, which every one involved missed. It happens. https://t.co/atZwuVNCCP

There’s a version of product building where you listen carefully to users, prioritize by requests, and build exactly what was asked for. This produces nothing remarkable. Useful things, functional things, but nothing that changes how people think. I mean, Slack didn’t exist

Discovering a content library nobody mentioned 3 hours after a migration and a prod deployment 🤯 https://t.co/kNV21sJ5jg

A friend asked me what tools I use to manage my projects. He expected apps like Notion, Airtable, Linear, he even mentioned Jira (ew). It’s Apple Notes. It always is. Those links in my bio… all those projects started with me writing stuff down in Apple Notes. Once the project

For some reason I trust a website more when the landing page loads fast than when the copy is clever 🤷🏻‍♂️

Man the best debugging tool is going on a dog walk.

If SaaS is really really dead this time, can we just stop talking about it and move the fuck on now? https://t.co/oD3raxqbs4

There’s something I’ve been thinking about lately… most conversations in tech are the same 5 topics recycled with different words. Same SaaS advice, same AI takes, same “ship fast” threads, X payouts, MRR screenshots. I’m guilty of someone of this too and I want to get away from

I mean, hey I wrote one of those 👀 and they cost exactly zero dollars! Grab ‘em! https://t.co/5mxxWcUCDt
