It’s a strange thought.
Coding agents are now so good that we’ll probably look back on humans writing code the same way we look at carving on rock.
And yet, decades of humans writing code on their own wouldn’t have been enough for these #agents to learn how to code at all.

When #ClaudeCode realises it's rate-limiting factor is it's human (me) 💀

@buildinpublic Something fun amidst all the note taking apps... group party game for football trivia ⚽👉 https://t.co/W2r1LRzFcT

Good event tracking = clarity. Now I know exactly which game categories users actually care about (spoiler: EPL - English Premier League! 🔥).

Measure → Learn → Build better. 🚀

📱 iOS launched 5 days ago and the curve is looking spicy 📈

15 → 82 weekly active devices since Aug 13th. Some of this growth from viral organic posts doing their thing.

(Prior data = beta testing)

Shout to @posthog for helping builders track what matters!

🧵 First iOS app review lesson learned!

Apple rejected: "Missing Restore Purchases feature"

Key learning: Need a DISTINCT "Restore" button users can tap. Auto-restore on launch doesn't count!

Small detail, big impact 📱

🎉 ACCEPTED! Google Play Production after 2nd attempt!

On Yer Head is now LIVE on Google Play! ⚽🚀

The key: Google wants to see ENGAGED testing, not just numbers for new dev accounts ✅

Changes that got me approved below 👇

PLOT TWIST! 📱💔

Had 12 testers, completed 14 days for new Google Dev account... still got "requires more testing"

Need to wait ANOTHER 14 days before resubmission.

Plan: recruit more active testers + push updates based on feedback

Also worked on today - implementing x-platform (Android/iOS) #analytics as I get closer to production release.

✅ Found @posthog insanely easy to configure and start capturing the events/metadata I wanted.

The free tier is generous. Highly recommend.

🚀 MILESTONE UNLOCKED!

Following my previous post about new Google Play dev accounts needing a 14-day closed test with 12+ testers before production...

✅ I'M THROUGH! Just hit submit on my prod release!

Follow for what comes next 🧵

Did you know?

New Google Play dev accounts must run a 14-day closed test with 12+ testers before releasing to production.

I'm on day 8.
✅ 12 testers in
⏳ 6 days to go

It's not optional or well documented - plan ahead!
