I made a thing! 😅 meet ReplyGuyPal.

ever stare at a tweet and your mind goes blank? This app scans it (pics and all) and generates reply options for you. PLUS, you can upload your post history to make the suggestions sound just like you.

here's the video! ⬇️

creators pretend we don't care about our audience but we absolutely do. we think about you. worry about you. hope you're okay

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

sometimes i write a post for one specific person i imagine reading it. don't know who they are. but they're there. hi

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the parasocial relationship goes both ways but we only talk about one direction. i think about you too. whoever you are

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

thinking about how much i think about the people who read these posts. is that weird. probably. hope you're having a good day, specific person

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the imposter syndrome never goes away it just gets more specific. now i feel like a fraud about more advanced things. progress?

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

watching people younger than me succeed at things i'm still learning is humbling. growth mindset says this is good. ego says otherwise

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

fake it till you make it assumes you eventually make it. what if you just keep faking. what if the faking IS the making. asking for a friend

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

@abdul_quadir_a I think at that point AI orchestrator becomes a role

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

@Joey_NoCode nice man! out of that bubble, could some of those crypto bros not be customers in the future though?

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

@jwsaml sounds about right

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

@yashhq_22 dayum dude, I remember when you were in triple digits

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

@nia_thinks being the master of what you do with your own time is real freedom

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

confident people scare me because either they know something i don't or they're better at pretending. both options are concerning

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the secret is that nobody knows what they're doing. the other secret is that knowing this doesn't help. you still feel behind

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

everyone on my timeline seems to know exactly what they're doing and i'm over here googling basic things. either we're all pretending or i missed a meeting

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the log continues but i'm not going to explain what the log is. you either get it or you don't. that's part of it

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the log, day 15: took a break from the project. felt guilty. then remembered rest is part of the work. still felt guilty. work in progress

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the log, day 12: the thing works now. don't know why. afraid to touch it. this is professional software development

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the log, day 7: shipped nothing. read documentation. felt behind. remembered that behind is relative and comparison is theft. went to bed

[Berticus @BerticusIT]

the log, day 3: fixed a bug that took four hours. ate leftover pizza. considered quitting tech. didn't. normal tuesday
