    It's made for keyboard enthusiasts. Give it a shot. Maybe you'll be one of them.

    I'd love to read more about your setup. I'm doing about half of what you have.

    No, I wrote them myself (training my wetware to write more as I get older). I was using claude to create a codex of characters/lore/etc. I also had it auto-build a website promotin…

    Just chipping in to say that I've never seen it churn for more than 20 minutes in two years worth of usage. The longest I've ever seen it churn is when I had it give extremely deta…

    Fun random fact, Eventbrite was first a security company called Molly Guard. I spent years cleaning out the 'mg-' prefixes from the code.

    I spent a long time playing with the sim. Nice work. Most of the random data sets that I ran ended up with a two body system, where the third body was flung far into space never to…

    I'm a tmux/vim user and heavily use claude code. It's good.

    I've been using a very similar setup with vim/tmux for about 20 years. I've tried all the new IDEs but still keep coming back. With AI, I thought I was going to have to change unti…

    Heroku login down for 7 hours

    This, I think, is finally the last straw for me. I've already moved my databases off heroku long ago, tried many various PaaS (render, fly) and tools (kamal) for VMs on places like…

    Elena's article is content marketing. It doesn't look dead to me.

    I thought they were still doing one free lesson. It's been a while since I was on Reforge though.

    If you want some great reading material on this, I recommend Reforge's viral loops info. I believe it's free.

    Any b2c product I build has huge incentive to share the product, creating more users. In the product itself, social is part of the value. So the more they interact, the more value …

    I'm realizing this a bit too late I think. My only value over something like capcut is the API, which most users don't care about. But I see products like submagic doing $1m arr an…

    I have them all wired up to helpscout. Then a contractor checks the inbox every 8 hours to clear them out. She covers the hours I'm asleep as well. I also have it posting to a slac…

    I'm a founder of 3 small saas companies that I run by myself, generating about $1M ARR. 1. First one I started 10 years ago. I built a bot that auto DMed people in various internet…

    Andrew Kane and Chris Oliver are the best of the best in the ruby community IMO. Even if I don't use all their contributions, they are most welcome.

    Agreed. I live in Europe and have the same experience. Europeans tend to use the same review apps as Americans, so it could lead to the same problems (expectations at least). We do…

    I'm also impressed with tabelog. Japanese reviewers seem to understand that 3 is an average meal, and anything higher should be above average. I wonder how tipping culture of the w…
