Every big business in the world biases towards risk reduction and cost reduction over getting an edge.

I was lucky enough to start my career sat on the next desk across from Kirat. Genius programmer and nice guy! He later went on to found Beacon platform which was the same again, as…

You can vibe code a clone of Trello in 30 minutes.

Brilliant framing. If you understand a domain and understand software architecture then you are in an extremely strong position right now.

They need something like this as it's hard and flaky to automate Google apps with AI. However, step 2 drops me to a fairly technical looking page where I have to configure Google C…

A demo of using an LLM/agent to analyse data stored in ClickHouse. This stuff is getting really good!

I’ve been saying the same and the same about data more generally. I don’t want to go and look, I want to be told about what I need to know about.

This has pretty much ruined TV for me. I watch with a remote control and constantly turn it up and down. It breaks the immersion.

You are correct but with Venmo or PayPal there’s a middleman charging fees who can lock your funds. A decentralised PayPal is appealing.

Try Claude Code. You’ll literally be able to automate 90% of the coding part of your job.

I think there is a third and distinct model which is AI that runs in the background autonomously amd over a long period and pushes things to you. It can detect situations intellige…

Yeah, I spent some time researching this crowd and most of the ones I found have the playbook of selling to indie hackers and talking about how successful they are with fake MRR sc…

I’ve always dwelled over $5 a month subscriptions for iPhone apps due to subscription fatigue. I find myself signing up for $200 AI subscriptions without a moments hesitation.
