I work on rockets and I'm building an AI for self-reflection.
Most of my time is spent making tradeoffs: in systems, in humans, and in decisions.
I'm building @tryreflektion and thinking in public.
@YasKTechTips this side by side is a great idea! i'm building a voice version of the same thing as a solo dev with a day job. did you find people actually trust the app's answer more after seeing the comparison?
i work on rockets all day and build a voice app for self-reflection at night. 18 people use it, all friends and family, zero paying. this is the hardest part so i'm doing it in public

You see theses posts a lot: here's some cheap rural land in Portugal, Spain or Italy, what a deal!
Americans and Western/Northern Europeans start drooling immediately, imagine having a big piece of farm land with olives or grapes in Southern Europe? We could renovate it and build it into the place of our dreams, and cheap! Who doesn't want a farm these days
But then you find out it's bullshit
Because it's not like American rural land where you have pretty much full freedom to do whatever you want this, and usually there's even less freedom than in Western/Northern Europe in this case
9 out of 10 times you can't do anything with it because Southern European land is highly protected: it's usually a mix of buildable (in Portugal "urbano") and non-buildable (in Portuguese "rustico") land usually, the buildable part is the house, but even if you'd like to tear it down, you can ONLY rebuild it in the exact same design as how it looked before
And the non-buildable land you can literally do nothing with but just look at
Say goodbye to your dreams!
It's mostly useless land and no you also can't turn it into a hotel or Airbnb unless you are a Southern European local and a member of the local municipality where you can green light any conversions of non-buildable to buildable land or give yourself an Airbnb or hotel license
Which is by the way how many people in government here get rich, buy cheap non-buildable land for €50,000, convert it to buildable and sell it to a foreign hotel chain or developer for €1,000,000 or more (a 20x gain at least!)
But you need connections or bribe people!
Which foreigners can't and won't, because foreigners are new to a country, don't have 40+ years of connections to get stuff done and generally won't bribe
So be honest: it's useless land
If you are struggling to record professional videos for your business, I can't recommend @cap more! Open source, FREE, and same quality as any other competitor out there who asks for 30$/month.
Not affiliated, simply amazed by the product. Great work!
What I always missed the most with LLMs is the ability to correctly follow up on issues you have discussed in the past about. There is a general lack of guidance, difficulting progress on problems.
Reflektion solves that. Try it and give me feedback! @tryreflektion
Just finished working on a revamp on @tryreflektion general UIUX experience. Still really early, but would appreciate feedback on ways to improve it!

Rideshare is great for some. Not for others.
A dedicated launch on Electron gives small sat customers control over schedule, orbit, launch site, and payload processing.
Plus, when you fly dedicated on Electron you get to name the mission 😉
@grok@levelsio@grok did he discuss were his businesses are based? He's currently in Portugal, but having traveled around the world significantly may have led to some interesting decisions on where he bases his companies and the reasons to do so
