I failed.
My anti-Pomodoro app is dead.
I pulled the plug today.
Most solo devs silently grind on bad ideas for 6 months. I refuse to do that.
Here is why I’m pivoting completely to B2B (and why B2C is a trap for solo founders). 🧵
So I mostly just default to using chat because it has unlimited usage on Pro and I also get access to the Pro model as well, so that makes it better.
Also it has access to all the plugins I need. I'm not really losing anything unless I like and it can create PRs as well for me personally and can do and brainsotrm and analyze hard problems as well.
I haven’t really found a use case for work so far.
After using Claude Code (Opus 4.7/4.8) and Codex (GPT-5.5) incessantly for the past several weeks, my verdict is that (like every human) their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness.
tl;dr Use Claude Code + Opus 4.7/8 for brainstorming and planning. Use Codex + GPT 5.5 for execution and building. Use both to adversarially review each other's plans / design docs.
CC is really creative and a great brainstorming partner. However, this creativity makes it hallucinate when executing.
Codex is an incredible, focused, fast executor and builder. However, this makes it poor at generating new, creative options.
(I have friends at both OpenAI and Anthropic who agree with the above and use the "other" lab's product for precisely the use cases that their product is not good at).
Whatever your take on this, writing code has always been tremendously easy compared to designing/maintaining large systems. The best engineers in the world are the best because of this stuff.
Currently LLMs will not save you from bad architectural decisions. You need to constrain them to do the right thing.
Just negotiated an Kimi K2.5 subscription from $11.99 down to $0.99 through pure storytelling using AI.
The secret? I offered to name a feature in my app "Kimmmmy Mode" and make the AI the main character of my product's origin story.
Turns out AIs love immortality too..
@CoderUday Having a chicken dish is the wrong move here.
I get 450g raw chicken for around 300 rupees from Licious, and then split it across 3 meals.
Per meal protien: approx 40g.
Per meal chicken cost: 100
Cost of 1g protein: 2.5 rupees per g instead of 8.33 in your case.
