Just checked my analytics and found a bunch of users signing up through perplexity and chatgpt. No idea what they're searching to find my product. Feels like a weird mystery - people finding you through ai but you don't know how they got there.

Just vibe-coded a Python script with AI to convert mp3 lectures to videos with subtitles. Didn't look at the code once. Didn't try to understand it. Just trusted the ai 15 minutes later: everything worked perfectly This is the future of coding for most scripts

Everyone's talking about ai agents in 2025 But here's what nobody tells you: If you know the steps you need to take, just write the code directly I removed the agent framework & replaced it with simple chain operations + basic parallelization Result: easier to debug, maintain, and actually ship

Stop falling for the "consistent marketing" trap Everyone: "just be consistent!" But they don't tell you WHY most founders aren't consistent The real reason? Marketing isn't deterministic Without visible results, motivation dies Your brain craves certainty Solution: Track actions, not outcomes

I think I've found what works for me to be productive I started grouping my to-do list tasks into tiny projects I can finish in a day. Been doing this for a week & it's completely changed how I work Now I finish at least one mini-project daily and actually feel accomplished instead of scattered

Just spent 4 hours debugging why a website wouldn't load. checked DNS, server configs, everything. Turns out i had a typo in the domain name. one single missing letter in nginx config. The dumbest bugs always take the longest to fix 😭

Just hit a major milestone with Painpointy! 🚀 After a lot of work & feedback, it can now: - Analyze Reddit threads - Identify meaningful themes - Break them into subthemes This is going to be a game-changer for understanding user pain points at scale!

honest talk about using huggingface models for the first time: 1. had no clue how to start 2. got stuck immediately 3. asked chatgpt + claude for help 4. actually got it working the "figuring it out" part used to take days. now it's minutes.

marketing is so freaking chaotic compared to programming coding: put in work → get results marketing: do everything "right" → crickets do random stuff → goes viral 🤷‍♂️ no wonder founders hate it. feels like screaming into the void while your metrics mock you

todo lists shouldn't start with a blank page that's the mistake i've been making for years now i just: - talk it out for 10 mins - transcribe the audio - let ai organize it it's like having a productive conversation with yourself

the hardest part of achieving big goals isn't setting them it's figuring out what to do each morning when you sit down at your desk been struggling with this forever, finally breaking down annual goals into daily chunks feels like having a GPS instead of just a destination

thinking of starting an ai agents employment agency.

just spent 2 hours trying to fix the issue where the google login only works the second time. found out that next.js middleware was blocking the callback path. fixed in 2 seconds. anyway, how is your day going?

simple product dev strategy that i use now: TOP DOWN: ↓ start with problem ↓ understand it deeply ↓ explore solutions ↓ pick simplest one ↓ build it vs BOTTOM UP: ↑ start with cool tech ↑ force fit to problem ↑ overcomplicate ↑ fail guess which works?

my favorite way to start the day is by writing down what i'm thinking/excited about. a few minutes of morning writing helps me checkin with myself. then i start with what i'm excited about. makes it easier to do things. try it - you'll be surprised by what you find.

watching @aaronfrancis.com share his zero attendance github talk is inspiring. why? instead of hiding or quitting, he shared something bigger: keep shipping, even when no one's watching. here's the link to his talk from yesterday about publishing your work: www.youtube.com/live/Ils_dA_...

people making product accounts on bluesky: why not just share direct links to your website? links aren't penalized here and make it easier for folks to go to your website.

i decided not to send black friday emails for one of my products, for which i've built an email list of thousands, but i haven't sent any emails in a long time. i decided that it's better not to damage the domain reputation for short-term gain.

fun fact: you can use clearsky.app to: • see which starter packs you're part of • check who's blocked you apparently 46% of bluesky users are blocked by at least one person!

starter packs solve a key problem: finding good accounts to follow and seeing posts that interest me. threads had this issue too - but great instagram photographers weren't always good writers

Starter Packs were such a killer idea A have a few friends who tried to get started with X and they always had the same complaint - my feed is full of garbage and people I don't care about! Now I can send then a starter pack of cool people and they can start with a curated feed already! 👍

the fomo to create something with the bluesky api is real. it's great that bluesky has such open apis. hopefully they last.

Created a Build in Public starter pack. 🎉 If you're an indie hacker building in public, feel free to join: 👉 Share your project below 🧡Like this post for the algo push 🔄 Repost this for visibility go.bsky.app/PvitcMe

How does everyone I see here already have over 1000 followers? What am I missing?

I guess it's time to try out bluesky! 👋 Looking forward to connecting with founders & makers. What are you working on?
