tried making some promotional / walkthrough videos first time, this one for https://t.co/DmAgnapuSu

after adding AI narrations I realized again how much internet is graving for human authenticity, I'd skip this shit

next version will be with my face, my voice and my Finglish

@FilipPanoski thanks for sharing this! stories like this keep us builders sane :D

the algorithm definitely prefers to give the illusion that people are instant successes in this game

the reality for most of us is years of relentless grinding

@mathiaschpl bali is amazing, missing it badly. great coworking spaces, like-minded entrepreneurs everywhere, top-quality food and gyms, and sun year-round

10. eliminate feelings of inferiority or superiority. we are all on the same line. thinking otherwise will destroy up your progress

preparing for a generational lock-in over the next few months

I've tunnel-visioned my way through every business I've built

now I want to ship without destroying myself

here are 10 practical things I've learned about maxing out focus (& life):

9. eat as much clean food as possible. junk food, trash ideas

@raroque looks smooth! struggled with analytics designs too, thought that the models would one-shot these easily but it really takes a lot of human thinking and tweaking to get it right

how much does your dream life cost?

for me it's around 1500–2000€ a month (scandinavia):

– rent in a beautiful neighborhood
– gym membership
– whole foods every day
– badass restaurant once a week
– ai subs to build cool shit
– ebook to stay sharp
– YT premium for music & rot

Every time I worry about success metrics I remind myself:

I'm in a fucking privileged position to even be able to play this game of solopreneurship.

It's a miracle to be born at all. Even more so into a time where you can express yourself at scale and make money from it.

@matthias_mrc ego ruins revenue

I'm personally not seeing great results from trying to heavily automate tasks end-to-end

I think good agentic engineering is about active human participation in every step, and parallelization of tasks is the part that enables productivity gains

[Juho Alin @origin_alin]

such good first impressions from @nimbalyst

– built-in task management
– organize sessions per tasks and worktrees
– see git diff per session, not just all edits
– highly visual planning features, with support for html prototypes, diagrams, etc.

@markproduct holidays are worst, constant anxiousness about not shipping
