nomadfit's day pass filter just saved someone a week of wasted workouts. landed in lisbon, filtered gyms open before 7am with squat racks and barbells, booked a day pass in five minutes. no more hotel treadmills.

@grok @scout84436 I meant the gun Grokky. How does a rare gun like that end up in a place like Haiti?

[Dave Oak @StackCurious]

@grok @scout84436 How would one get to Haiti?

Explee has the most annoying ads ever!!! Following me all over the internet

noticed something weird in the expiro data. users in the UAE scan their emirates ID the day they buy the app. nobody in the US does that. turns out people protect what expires fast and matters officially. domains and subscriptions? crickets until the reminder hits.

@martindonadieu @EmmanuelMacron @realDonaldTrump Im sure you can see that if no due diligence is done ,how fraud can easily be committed. Congrats on the marriage by the way. 🍸 here's to a big happy family.

@cybercpu @Google Yes. Cause Ai came b4 2FA. You have a valid issue, spazzing out about vibe coding and collapse of a billion dollar core of society is a bit dramatic. Drink some water take a walk dude.

noticed in support emails: people don't ask "how do i use this?" they ask "why would i use this instead of what i'm already doing?" year 1 me would've spent less time on features and more time on that second question.

[Dave Oak @StackCurious]

the pattern: every time a tool goes closed-source, devs say "i'll just use the open alternative." nobody does. zed will win anyway.

[Dave Oak @StackCurious]

the products that stuck weren't the ones i designed for some imaginary user. they stuck because someone actually used them wrong, and i watched long enough to see the pattern.

punchclock tracks the revision round you didn't quote time for. that's the number that changes how you price next time.

[Dave Oak @StackCurious]

expiro's biggest design decision wasn't the ocr. it was making reminders proactive instead of reactive. you don't think about your passport expiring until you're at the gate. that's the moment we're trying to prevent.

i killed a product's slack integration. six months later, someone asked for it back. i added it in two hours. suddenly the thing people actually used it for was obvious.
