It's close to 4 AM. Can't sleep.
My mind is racing with ideas for @lumiel_ai, the operating system I'm building for solo founders.
Going to be a game-changer.

@kirat_tw I used to code a lot, after using cursor for UI styling, I became lazy and started using cursor for everything, realised I am not on an optimal path, and just canceled my cursor subscription. Now hands on everything.
@ID_AA_Carmack It's a discipline I try to maintain in Go as well. It's too easy to just use = to re-assign when a new variable with := would make the state at each step much clearer for debugging.
Productivity tip for fellow solopreneurs:
Stop trying to manage your time. Start managing your energy.
A 2-hour deep work session when you're in flow is worth more than a full 8-hour day of distracted work.

Yesterday I mentioned AI research agents are a blessing. The real magic is in the workflow. I've been refining my process for offloading the 'grunt workβ to AI. It's not just about saving time it's about saving mental energy.

Shout-out to all my fellow solopreneurs! Using deep research agents to get things done has been an absolute blessing.
Itβs a total game-changer for productivity. Are you using them yet?

@ycombinator I did exact opposite of that, worked on a project for a whole year without asking a single user. And here I am with an over engineered product that no one wants. Learned my lesson. Now trying to build something people want.
I'm now building my new company completely in the open. If you are into AI, Software Engineering, and the real story of building a startup, follow along!

I spent a year building a "Heroku for LLMs" from scratch.
It had an auto-scaling Go backend, RAG, and could host any model.
It got 0 users.
Here's the story of my pivot and the painful lessons I learned.
I wrote down the full storyβthe tech, the mistakes, and the pivotβin a blog post. If you are a builder, I hope my extensive education can serve as a valuable lesson for you. https://t.co/x36d4XRg4Q
