the first gulp of AI will make you think you're undefeatable. But at the bottom of the glass your need to understand is waiting for you.

Underrated life advice: Be more enthusiastic. One of the most attractive traits is genuine enthusiasm. It's energizing to spend time around people who show real excitement for life. For people, ideas, and tiny moments. It takes courage to care so openly. Enthusiasm is contagious.

i think it's hardest when you have to explain yourself to someone you care about it

[World Wise Wizards @wifizards]

A terrible effort

every school year should have been about doing projects, not learning via text books

school today is like learning to play football by studying theory

Every indie app developer follows the same path:

- Build an app
- Make it freemium because you don't believe people will pay for it
- Market it for free on Reddit, TikTok, IG, etc.
- Get a bunch of users but barely any purchases
- Switch from freemium to a hard paywall
- Watch your download-to-paid conversion rate triple
- Manually post dozens of times a day
- Start making $500-$1,000 a month
- Realize you can't scale because you're already posting as much as humanly possible
- Try paid ads
- Lose a bunch of money
- Fix your onboarding, paywall, ad creatives, etc.
- Try paid ads again
- Get close to profitability
- Run A/B tests and improve your creatives
- Finally get your ads profitable
- Scale your ad spend
- Hit $10k a month
- Realize you're only keeping $3k after ad spend and taxes
- Accept that you'll be spending tens of thousands on ads every month for the rest of your life to maintain 30% margins
- Move to Asia

Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If you’re building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are:

• Proprietary data
• Network effects
• A physical component

every month, i get a $100 LLM sub, and then cancel immediately

@SebastianRoehl Yeah, all my work happens on my mac mini.
The laptop is just a dumb terminal.

I use tmux + mosh + tailscale. Bonus, it works super well on German trains with poor internet :D

@thsottiaux can you just tell us if you're planning a weekend reset so that i can plan my usage during the week

[sluj @smashdirt]

EVERYTHING IS FIGUREOUTABLE.

[rish @rish_space]

exactly this
it's a video game but in real life and i somehow dont feel bad about it

[Sam @swhotch]

I feel like I’m frying my dopamine system with all this Claude/Codex work.

Constantly monitoring and instructing, anticipating the work it’s going to produce.

Then killing time waiting, consuming way more algo feed content than ever before.

How do y’all tackle this?

a relationship isn't grand gestures
it's the little things you do for each other everyday

[rish @rish_space]

i was saving my codex reset for the weekend so i'd exhaust it all on saturday and have fresh budget on Sunday

They gave us a reset instead >.<
I'd rather have a bank of resets

[rish @rish_space]

I fully believe this
