Documenting my journey here ⚡️

[Adam J @Adamouization]

Haven't posted since Dec 2025, but I've still been building.

In the past 9 months, I've grown https://t.co/7mN3a08LiC to:
💰 $1,668 YTD revenue
🎯 22k organic clicks/month
👥 5,000 users (190 paying)

Nothing viral yet, but a clear improvement that I'm excited about!

[Adam J @Adamouization]

Passively grew my monthly GSC organic clicks from 20k to 23k by adding some programmatic SEO to https://t.co/35JqI9LdVO.

Next milestone: 25k 🚀

Adam, one of our Senior AI Engineers, gave a guest lecture at The Centre for Human-Inspired AI (CHIA) at Cambridge University last week 🎓

He talked about the rapidly developing space of Agentic AI, walking students through theoretical concepts and through his own experiences and recommendations as a Senior AI Engineer working in this field.

Students were engaged and he had great chats afterwards about working with LLMs, building agentic AI, and how to start a career in this area.

Awesome to see causaLens being represented at top academic institutions.

@samuelpigny How are you finding it so far?

[Adam J @Adamouization]

@aschapmann The one on the right!

My @cursor_ai year in review boils down to 462M tokens used, aka 3.2M tokens per $1 made 😅

How many tokens did you use per $1 earned this year?

This silly mistake cost me $165 which is more than the total revenue of https://t.co/1HDhqyDHab 😬

I assumed RapidAPI would auto-upgrade my plan when I hit the limit.
But you guessed it: it didn’t.

So I got charged per request instead. But thankfully support gave me a sympathy refund! 😁

[Adam J @Adamouization]

Oops 🤦‍♂️ I recently added monitoring on https://t.co/zR3yRwnGmq, but I picked the default 3-min frequency instead of daily. Went to bed, woke up to GlobeFlix blowing past API limits overnight.

Small price to pay for load testing, I guess? 😅

https://t.co/Y1eO4E2ACF just crossed 1.2k organic Google searches and ranks #1 for most target searches 🎉

SEO finally paying off

On to monetisation next! #buildinpublic

[Adam J @Adamouization]

Why it's been quiet on this corner of the internet:

📈 End-of-year work push
⏳ Limited time to build
🏃‍♂️ Final race of the year

From Saturday onward, I’ll finally have proper time to focus on https://t.co/Y1eO4E2ACF monetisation and kicking off a new product 🚀 #buildinpublic

[Adam J @Adamouization]

Yesterday (typical Sunday):
⏰ 6:30am wake up (2h deep 1h30 REM)
🍌 Making banana bread
🏊‍♂️ Endurance 3000m pool swim
🏎️ Lunch at sports bar for F1 season finale
🎮 Unwind at home, play video games with gf
🛠️ Worked on a new feature for https://t.co/KoPLFho0hb
💬 Plan marketing + weekly posts on @postsyncer
📺 Dinner with gf at 8pm + TV show
Now I'm about to read in bed and sleep at 10:30pm to start the new week strong! 💪 #buildinpublic

[Adam J @Adamouization]

It's been hard to progress on my projects lately:

💼 Increased responsibility and deadlines at work
🎓 Delivered a guest lecture at Cambridge University on Agentic AI

Despite this, I analysed analytics for https://t.co/KoPLFhnsrD for next steps and have 3 directory concepts to explore #buildinpublic

@hirvesh @Habit_Pixel If you keep the Habit up, it definitely should keep going into the new year ;)

[Adam J @Adamouization]

Didn't post last week (not ideal) due to:
👨‍👩‍👧 Family visiting
🎂 Birthday weekend
🕒 Long work hours
🏃‍♂️ Brutal training week (+50km running)
🎓 Prepping slides for a Cambridge guest lecture on Agentic AI

Now planning next steps for my apps + 2 new product ideas brewing 💡 #buildinpublic

[Adam J @Adamouization]

@andi_losing @tinylaunch Done! Good luck :)
