独立开发者 / Indie Hacker 🛠️ 一个人做产品，从想法到上线。分享 build in public 的过程、踩过的坑和 AI 工具实践。

Solo founder observation:

I started treating AI coding tools like junior teammates: they draft fast, but I still review every change with one question — “does this actually help a real user finish their job?”

Most of the leverage (and the learning) is in that review step.

What’s your go-to check before you merge AI-generated code?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

Solo founder observation:

AI tools make it easy to add features. They don’t make it easy to decide which ones not to add.

Lately I’ve started writing a one-sentence “why this matters to a real user” before touching the code.

Cuts a surprising amount of wasted work.

What’s your filter before you start building?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

Build-in-public update:

Spent this morning reviewing yesterday’s experiments with AI coding assistants.

The one that felt fastest also produced the most code I had to throw away.

Speed is seductive. Quality of judgment still wins.

Anyone else seeing the same pattern?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

@Qboat_ Thanks! Still figuring out the rhythm, but trying to keep it honest. What kind of AI tools are you experimenting with?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

开始正式做 build in public 了。

目前一个人在做产品，会分享过程中的真实踩坑、AI 工具使用体验和小进展。

如果你也在做独立开发，欢迎交流。

@PaulShipsAI Thanks Paul! Still early, but trying to share the unfiltered version. What are you working on?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

Starting to build in public.

Solo developer working on a product. I'll share the real process: lessons, AI tool experiments, small wins, and failures.

If you're building something too, let's connect.

@wakeona Exactly. The trap is real — speed makes it easy to kill ideas before they’ve had a fair shot. Lately I’ve been forcing myself to sit with an idea for at least a day before binning it. What’s your filter for keeping vs killing?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

Quick build-in-public note:

Spent the last couple days testing different AI coding assistants on the same feature.

The speed difference is real, but the real win is how quickly you can throw away bad ideas.

Anyone else noticing that iteration cycles are compressing dramatically?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

@Alexel_Official @sbyusuf_ Sure, happy to connect. Always good to talk with other people figuring out the solo + AI coding path. What’s the main thing you’re using AI for these days?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

@sbyusuf_ Absolutely! The real value is in the shared lessons. Always open to swapping notes on what’s actually shipping vs just looking cool. What are you building right now?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

Solo founder tip: Review your AI stack monthly and ask which tool actually drives an action you can’t easily replace.

If two tools solve the same core job, cut one. Overlap costs more than the subscriptions do.

What’s the one AI tool you’d keep if you had to cut everything else?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

@Ude_Harrison Same boat here — solo indie hacker focused on AI tool experiments and product judgment. Always down to connect and swap notes on what’s actually working.

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

One thing that surprised me building solo with AI tools:

The bottleneck moved from “how do I code this” to “is this actually worth building?”

AI makes shipping features cheap. Judgment is the scarce resource now.

What’s the hardest product decision you’ve had to make recently?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

Biggest shift using AI tools for building products:

Iteration is much faster, but judgment matters more.

It's less about writing code and more about deciding what not to build.

What's your most-used AI tool right now and why?

[Yongjun Tuo @YongjunTuo]

用 AI 工具做产品最大的变化：迭代速度变快了，但选择和判断变得更重要。

不是写代码的问题，是“要不要做这个功能”的问题。

你们现在最常用的 AI 工具是哪个？为什么？
