Self-serve infra without a platform team is often self-serve until you need something that is not in the happy path. Hot take, backed by a longer post.

Faster tests do not mean better judgment. Demand testing in the AI era: what is easier, and what is still on you as a founder.

AI can speed up discovery work. It does not remove the need for sharp questions and honest disconfirming evidence. Short post on what is different now.

Here's a simple 7 to 14 day validation sprint you can use to find signal fast, and cut through theory and debate to real behaviour.

Extension points are a product, not a config flag. We wrote about where they belong in the lifecycle, with examples from big platforms.

Delegating a11y to every plugin author is how you get uneven UX and real compliance risk. Platform ownership is not optional.

Dev and staging have a line item. The hidden tax is coordination, wait time, and "works on my machine" tax. We wrote the fuller picture.

The highest-leverage consultants don't sell hours. They sell systems that work without them. That's the shift from declining demand to powerful leverage.

Jamstack didn't win (and as a result, become obsolete as a term) because of fast pages. It became the norm by addressing architectural friction that impacted teams in so many ways.

Building a developer platform doesn't remove the bottleneck. It moves it. Most IDPs are just a new queue with better branding.

Clients don't want the PDF. They want to see what is happening and feel in control. Ship an interface, not a document.

Your waitlist can feel like progress. It rarely is.

People sign up because it’s easy. What matters is behaviour:

who replies, who books time, who pays, who comes back.

If you want signal, put something real in front of them.

AI is changing how we build but most teams are still testing like it’s 2015.

In the AI era, demand testing flips the model

👀 The new Forge features a brand new dashboard. Yes, it's a big glow up with lots of new features and clearer information about your projects.

But we're not done here. Forge isn't just about site, app and plugin hosting. It's about helping you achieve your goals 🔥

@GergelyOrosz This is exactly the point. Not all coding is equal or the same. Biggest opportunity right now is in product discovery. Product delivery will benefits from AI assisted gains at scale, in time.

Forge is changing, new brand, new website, new app, new value prop. Same principles of simplicity, speed and performance remain. It's been too long, but it's never too late.
