Might be a hot take, but "technical co-founder" is becoming a weird thing to look for.

The more I build stuff the more I realize that the feature nobody asked for that drives the most signups is almost always an integration. People don't want your product. They want it to work with the thing they already use.

Monolith. Single server. Ship it. You can split things up when you actually need to and you probably never will.

So many people are building AI wrappers right now that will be obsolete the moment the model they're wrapping adds that feature natively. It's a terrifying business model imo.

I spent a number of years thinking I needed to build something VC-fundable. Then I actually ran the math and figured the whole VC thing doesn't really apply to most of us, at least not to me. I mean, a SaaS or content business doing say $2M ARR growing 10% a year is a really

AI isn't replacing developers. It's replacing the developers who can't tell when the AI got it wrong. The skill that matters now is judgment, not syntax.

Hot take: SQLite in production is fine for 90% of the SaaS products people are building. Your app doesn’t need Postgres.

I don't have the sailboat yet, but I got Starlink now! https://t.co/0KJ1jqJr12 https://t.co/QhAuiYxghI

We have unlimited design possibilities, infinite color palettes, amazing coding agents, and AI that can generate literally anything. Yet every website still looks like it came from the same fucking Figma file.

The bar for good clean code is on the fucking floor these days.

The fastest way to find out if your product is any good is to charge for it. Free users will tell you it’s great. Paying users will tell you the truth.

My co-founder started using Claude Code a few weeks ago. He’s not a developer, never has been, and now he wants to (and can) build things. I’ve been watching this exact shift play out with other people in my life over the last year and every time it happens I’m struck by how

SEO Dash update 🌐 I've always hated that the SEO tools I pay for don't actually talk to each other. Ahrefs has its own world, Moz has its own, Search Console has a third. And none of them know anything about each other, your site performance, or your analytics. So I've been https://t.co/bhGMp8KwUG

Dogfooding your own product is the fastest way to find every decision you got wrong.

The problem with building in public is that the interesting parts, the doubts, the wrong turns, the stuff that almost killed it, is exactly what nobody posts. We celebrate the follower counts, the MRR screenshots, etc… and that’s fine, but I’m not learning anything from that! I

The devs who are most dismissive of AI tools are usually the ones who’d benefit most from shipping faster.

Back in Mexico, all settled in. Feels so freakin’ good to be back here 🙏 https://t.co/DwQ6wWpU5w

I caught up with a friend a few days ago. He's at around $50k MRR but burning $44k to get there. That's a really complicated way to make $6k a month. The expenses are making it insanely stressful for him. Chasing MRR is how you build a business that looks successful. Chasing

I’ve launched products that got praise and applause and went nowhere. I’ve launched products with none of it that found their audience quietly over months (or years). Attention and traction are not the same thing.

Day 1 in Mexico. House isn’t what we expected, fucking exhausted, haven’t tweeted, emails are piling up. Living the dream 💪
