Nearly 60% of Google searches now end without a click. Social throttles links. LLMs answer before anyone visits your site.

@amandanat's MicroConf US 2026 talk is the playbook for founders who can't wait 12 months for SEO to work.

@amandanat Amanda's framework for founders with no marketing team:

1. Pick 2-3 channels your audience actually uses.
2. Publish 1-2 zero-click assets per week.
3. Adapt one insight across formats natively.
4. Test distribution, not just ideas.
5. Review monthly, repeat what works.

@TheCraigHewitt The bullish part: Craig thinks the long term is incredible. One-person billion-dollar companies. Abundance. Robotics.

The next 24 months are the squeeze.

His three rules: move fast, niche down, lean into the human stuff agents can't fake.

A single Anthropic blog post wiped out $285B in SaaS market cap this year.

@TheCraigHewitt Craig's gut-check question for every SaaS founder:

If an agent tried to use your product right now — could it?

What agents want:
→ Clean API
→ MCP, CLI, or SDK
→ Docs as markdown, not JavaScript
→ Free, or pay-per-outcome

If your answer is no, that's the work.
