founder, boss as a service.

We are building <drumroll> Chapter </drumroll>.....with bucketloads of 🩷 and inordinate amounts of ☕. More soon!

Scott Alexander’s “Sort By Controversial” continues to age like fine wine, still the sharpest explainer of how algorithmic feeds run on outrage.

might be the single best blog post to explain social media over the past decade.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

It is fitting that out of all the great science fiction authors that imagined AI, Douglas Adams continues to be the most fundamentally correct:
✅ Machines that work best when emotionally manipulated
✅Machines that guilt you
✅Very long “thinking” times for very hard questions

Probably the most creative productized service I've seen

• Hire a "boss" for $25/mo to keep you accountable
• 2500 customers
• Solo founder, profitable

@hakimian45 Hello! No, it's our team of Bosses! :) You can see some reviews including for the Super / Virtuoso plans here! https://t.co/Wr24Iy8j2H

@harshilanand39 That's awesome! 😀 do let me know if I can help with anything! 😁

[Manasvini Krishna @Manasvinik]

@thekitze very, very familiar with the problem! :) of course I'm biased, but having someone to show your checked off to-do list to -- or having them call you out when you're slacking off, really helps!

[Manasvini Krishna @Manasvinik]

@jorgediazapps Yay! Thanks Jorge, so glad it's helping! 😀

🥷Life Hack

Having a “boss” to keep you committed to “1 hour programing per day” it’s the best money you can spend.

It works!

Thanks @Manasvinik

Another GPT-4 thread!

I'm trying to get GPT-4 to build a complete, usable app. Of course, I asked it to build a productivity app.

So far, it's built a pomodoro app complete with a Focus Mode, graphs and stats including your most productive day and streak count.

[Manasvini Krishna @Manasvinik]

Finally, GPT-4 gave its creation the name Pomodorable. Even in its current early iteration (we built only 2 of the features it suggested) it's usable.

Excited to see how much more I can add!

[Manasvini Krishna @Manasvinik]

The frustrating part - as we added more features, every time I asked it to make a new one, it'd end up breaking some other feature. Asked to fix a bug, it'd introduce one more somewhere else. But when I complained (again in a general way) it was able to resolve the issue.

[Manasvini Krishna @Manasvinik]

@farrahhariri Thanks Farah, and you too!

Launching something today! 💃

Dopanope - a Chrome extension that stops you from browsing distracting websites all day. 🤓

Put your own impatience to good use! Check it out and I'd love to hear if it works for you!

[Manasvini Krishna @Manasvinik]

I've been using this myself for some months and it's worked really well -- most times, my impatience wins the day.

It's made a big difference to the amount of time I spend mindlessly browsing, without specifically even wanting to be on Reddit / Twitter / Hacker News.
