I spend (very little) time building instead of shipping 💀

@elonmusk what’s up with @bot refusing to code using Grok or Claude on my Mac? This way it’s impossible to build for iOS or macOS (efficiently), as it can only be done on macOS.

[Fábio Santos @fscsantos]

I’ll open source this, just need to find some time to make it into something that a non-dev can install from GitHub.

According to Google I can’t use my MacBook as my Tesla key. I built a super simple menu bar app that works even with the lid closed months ago because I keep running out of battery on my iPhone (13 pro, battery at 70% capacity) and my Apple Watch doesn’t support the official Tesla app.

Am I the only one who finds it useful to have the MacBook as key?

A public service announcement.

@ZeDosCakes Muito bom, mas esse não deve chegar cá, não preciso de pensar nele.

I’m waiting for the Model YL to arrive in Europe, but if this comes first… 🤔

[Xiaopeng He @xiaopenghexpeng]

G9L, see you in Paris.
Four shades, each with its own story.
Which one is yours?

[Fábio Santos @fscsantos]

Same in Portugal.

100% correct diagnosis and prescription. And it’s not just in Spain.

Yesterday I fixed an issue that was preventing Google from indexing the website of something I launched 3 months ago.

0 leads until today, when someone in the Mediterranean subscribed 🤘

Previously I sent like 5000 emails to potential customers (it’s for other businesses), and got 0 contacts.
I guess doing not doing the basics correctly probably has a huge effect in the long run.

Haven't used Claude Code in a while, as I mostly use OpenCode and Grok Build. I like both.

But after Opus 5.5 launched I'm thinking maybe I should try Claude Code again...

[Fábio Santos @fscsantos]

As an example, a Portuguese company with zero invoices still needs a certified accountant (TOC).

They charge at least close to 100€/month, but you need to pay because you cannot file the accounts yourself.
Also the value the service brings is close to 0, as most stuff is already integrated with AT.

And IRC advance payments (“pagamentos por conta”) can still be due based on last year’s tax, even if you billed nothing this year.

🇪🇺 EU bankruptcies have now reached the highest level since they started measuring them in 2019

Meanwhile new EU business registrations have been stagnant or decreasing

I discovered this after another one of the interior design stores in the Netherlands we bought from suddenly disappeared off the internet, luckily we already received the stuff we ordered (a big stone table) and dodged a bullet

Quite expensive stuff and their Trustpilot is full of "where's my €7000 table". This is the second interior design store we bought from that went bankrupt just after we received our things, very interesting

So I started looking at EU bankruptcies and discovered they're skyrocketing and new business registrations are stagnant or decreasing

They really managed to regulate and tax away any existing business while making people give up to even think of starting a business in Europe
