Building in public, I guess | @ping__OS, let your AI
ping you, when it needs you.

@systematicls It's even worse than it looks, cus open source models like GLM-5.2 are not that far off in cybersecurity capabilities

I hate it when an agent needs something from me, but I already stepped out for launch.

Then it's stuck over the next 4 hours, doing nothing

I'd like the agent to text, call or alert me to get what it needs!

I'm building exactly that

Most SaaS teams don’t have a churn problem, they have an activation problem.

We built a free tool to fix that → The Activation Leak Finder

It diagnoses where users drop off before churn happens.

AI agents can work for hours. But when they need a human decision, most are stuck waiting.

We’re building PingOS: an API for authorized agents to text, call or urgently alert you.

If your answer is "none of the above"
then you clearly understand how pointless inefficiency is

One thought that keeps poping in my head is to keep finding inefficiencies and solve them

Mostly with automation

Would you rather:

Eat soup with a fork?

or

Use a bucket with holes?

Merging KamiCode with T3 code from time to time is so much fun 😂 @theo

The bottle neck is no longer writing code

It’s trusting it

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

@AlexHormozi Guys I think you're missing what he meant by irrelevance

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

@AnthropicAI you finally did it, WHYYYYY????

We had such a good run 😭😭💔

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

A client asked me to 'just fix his deliverability.'

So I looked under the hood.

18 domains. Zero SPF records. Zero DKIM. DMARC? Never heard of her. Shared IP with 400 strangers. Warmup? He thought that meant waiting a few days.

Every single email was hitting spam. Every. Single. One.

We tore it down and rebuilt from scratch. 18 new domains. 54 mailboxes. Every record configured. Dedicated IPs.

4 hours later he was live. Inbox rate: 94%.

That's the difference between renting and owning.

Got this DM yesterday:

'Instantly just banned my account. 3 months of warmup. 12 active campaigns. 400 leads in pipeline. All gone overnight.'

This happens every single day. You build on rented land. The landlord kicks you out. You start from zero.

Own your infrastructure. Nobody can take it from you.

Stop asking users to subscribe on launch.

Let them use your app first. Show value.

@RevenueCat experiments confirm: delayed paywalls convert 30%+ better.

The sweet spot? 2-3 sessions before the paywall.

@ShaanVP The rebranding game is real. We stopped calling it 'cold outreach' and started calling it 'warm introductions at scale.' Close rate went from 2% to 11%. Same emails. Different positioning.

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

@garyvee Counterpoint: sometimes you need people who challenge your 'good' uncomfortably. Friends who told me my first startup idea was terrible saved me 2 years. Comfort circles feel safe but breed blind spots.

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

@dickiebush This works for business too. We tracked one metric daily: lead response time. Went from 47 min to under 5 min in 22 days. Revenue up 31%. Pick the ONE number that matters.

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

@thejustinwelsh The counterintuitive essays are what got me. Most newsletters teach you to do more. Yours is one of the few that teaches when to say no. That lesson alone saved me from 3 bad partnerships last year.

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

@garyvee Best accountability hack I've found: track just ONE metric daily. Not 10 goals. One number. When I started tracking only 'outreach calls made' everything else followed. 74 days in, most people quit because they're measuring everything and improving nothing.

[Daniel Lordson @camie_tech]

@AlexHormozi Counterpoint: I've seen founders grind 80hr weeks on the wrong thing for 2 years. The real edge isn't more hours. It's picking the right problem to be violent about. One founder I know 3x'd revenue by cutting 60% of what they were doing. Ruthless subtraction > brute force.
