Getting over my fear of building a business. Journaling in public.

We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.

What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?

Wondering what’s it like building in Europe? 🇪🇺

I’ve spent 26 hours (and counting) in the last 30 days dealing with one-off beaurocratic fuckery that has nothing to do with me or my business.

Thats on top of the recurring bureaucracy you have to contend with on a monthly basis.

[Piny @iampiny]

@RyanHoliday Well… at least you’re courageously taking a stance on something important to you.

But sad to see the direction 😕

@thsottiaux A way to wrap side conversations back into main’s context

[Piny @iampiny]

@ansonlin Because Figma is the new Adobe

It is hostile to its users.
It gets worse with every update.
It is still popular because of inertia and lack of good alternatives (but they are coming).

@benjitaylor Solid animation 👌

[Piny @iampiny]

@reach_vb @robinebers Huge props for this 👍

[Piny @iampiny]

@robinebers @WisprFlow I’ve been experiencing this issue as well

Terrible when it happens

[Piny @iampiny]

@WisprFlow Any hope you’ll fix the 30s cutout on mac?

Almost all of my technical challenges have been getting obsoleted by technological progress.

Just wait a few more months and your very hard problem just becomes inconsequential.

Simple way to share and install skills

@ajambrosino @koltregaskes @Fedesco5 Please make an equivalent iOS app that doesn’t suck

@marclou Use claude for UI. It is far from good, but it is the least bad option.

As for UX, all models are still quite poor :-/

[Piny @iampiny]

@Kappaemme1926 Mobile app is still sub-par (and buggy)

@TheRohanVarma How did u get Codex to build the pretty UIs shown in the video?

Out of the box, gpt5.5 has no design taste.

[Piny @iampiny]

@catalinmpit Idk about that, but I know that I'll be very sad

[Piny @iampiny]

@jacob_posel Knowing OpenAI, they'll probably just rebrand it to Codex

[Piny @iampiny]

The more leverage I get from using AI agents, the more impatient I get.

Which feels like such a juxtaposition.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Piny @iampiny]

@gmchande @dhh From my limited testing (and, admittedly, a couple of months back), I’ve had by far the best experience using Codex as the harness

Cursor running GPT 5.5 always stopped short, or forgot about some edges.

Codex is consistently thorough and seems to consider things more widely

[Piny @iampiny]

@dhh This has been my experience as well

It is superhuman
