Working on a SaaS product for the past 8 months taught me a lot
→ Break big features into smaller parts to move faster
→ APIs aren’t just request-response : they need orchestration & structure
→ Clean code makes iteration easy
→ Build for scalability and future growth
→ Leading a service is about ownership, not just code
At the end build for users, not just for sprints 👥
One thing we need to understand here.
Not every product needs AI. At least for now.
If your company is not in core tech or AI, forcing AI in won’t make you innovative.
If you think adding an AI chatbot to your website will suddenly drive revenue, you need to think again.
After almost 2 years of building (before open-sourcing it), I’m excited to share Servflow, an engine and dashboard built to make API and AI agent creation ridiculously easy.
What makes it special:
⚙️ Create AI Agents instantly, exposed over an API
🌐 Build standard REST API endpoints with rich integrations & workflow actions
🤖 Spin up full MCP servers powered by workflows
🧩 All declarative, all modular , designed for both power and simplicity
💻 Can be locally hosted and run
Built with love using #golang
Servflow is now open source, built to help developers move faster and prototype smarter.
Check it out, break it, improve it, go crazy

"I use AI in a separate window. I don't enjoy Cursor or Windsurf, I can literally feel competence draining out of my fingers."
@dhh, the legendary programmer and creator of Ruby on Rails has the most beautiful and philosophical idea about what AI takes away from programmers.
It is likely that we only have ~3 years remaining where 95% of human labor is actually valuable (i.e. earns you money)
Most people haven't realized this yet.
It is also likely that this will be the end of our current iteration of labor-based capitalism.
The people who ask these questions don’t want to hear this, but the answer is that The Artistic Genius is a myth that is forged by cultural institutions over decades and centuries.
I think the reason the vast majority of people can't do quick math in their head (e.g. dividing 88 by 3) is because they way they were taught traumatized them from ever practicing or trying. They werent taught math, they were taught that they were bad at math
Every person who works in tech needs at least 5 nontech friends to interact with closely on a weekly basis so they can understand how the general public actually thinks
Along with automatic skeletons, another thing I worked on recently was coordinated image loading. You can wrap any group of images with an <ImageCoordinator>, and all the images under it will fade in together rather than popcorning. Makes for a much more pleasant experience! 😀
“tell toranaga-sama that cursor is incredible. a game changer. in its current form it’s basically the equivalent of having a technical cofounder or a team of senior engineers. tell him i’m excited to see what i can build with cursor + claude”
“the anjin doesn’t know how to code”
