building things, learning about business, and figuring it out along the way

[Louis @louisbrickner]

hey, i'm louis. new york.

i build side projects, use ai agents for way too much, and i'm learning the business side as i go. lots of half finished projects, working on actually shipping them.

posting what works, what breaks, and what i learn from other builders here. if you're building something, say hi

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@AnovaCEO done, stuck, or gave up is such a simple fix lol

[Louis @louisbrickner]

seeing a pattern from builders this week: swapping the agent harness barely moves pass rates, but it swings cost and speed a lot. and the hard part is no longer running one agent, it's coordinating two.

what breaks first when you run more than one agent on the same project?

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@AdrianCInvests @ByDylanHughes Theoretically this should be so good but this is so bad

e-mail took my job

@rfunk82 @Replit six months redone in a few weeks is nuts.

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@elquaraoui a stranger just paying with zero pitch has to feel unreal

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@gaunernst building your own version because the official one annoyed you is the best kind of side project

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@AnovaCEO expiry on the claim is smart. i've definitely left an agent hanging mid-task and just hoped it finished

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@AnovaCEO hahah you know how it goes. what are you using for the lock rn?

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@thecsguy agent writes the yaml and something else does the layout makes sense. every diagram i've had an agent draw directly was a mess lol

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@AnovaCEO makes sense! honestly i’m still at the “hope they don’t collide” stage lol

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@AbdullahArab101 Ayeee congrats! How did you get your platform discovered

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@empowwerr Hey John! Good to connect with you too. Right now I’m focused on building an AI-powered platform that helps streamline operations and reduce administrative inefficiencies. Still early, but making some exciting progress. What kind of agentic systems are you working on?

@TTrimoreau It’s fun I feel like im singing karaoke at an empty bar

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@stanlee0nX i get its use cases i just will never understand the benefits over human review

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@AnovaCEO claiming work in one shared spot before starting is such a simple fix. is that spot just a file they all read, or something with actual locking so two can't grab the same task?

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@maxzrco free tools beating plain seo pages makes sense, people actually come back to them. which one's pulling the most trials so far?

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@Palettedailyio @MNQDegen @erden_xi Are you planning on monetizing this

[Louis @louisbrickner]

@Clipboardpete @erden_xi Genuinely how

[Sergiusz @SergiuszBuilds]

Your SaaS costs $9/month.

I'd rather spend $200 on AI tokens building my own version.

Then abandon it.

Then subscribe to yours.
