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

Some weeks everything lines up and you feel unstoppable. Other weeks you're dealing with personal stuff, you're exhausted, nothing is working the way it should, and the last thing you want to do is open your laptop. You open it anyway. The work helps. It's not the only thing

That’s how you fucking do it! 💪 https://t.co/QBIjMVKgeW

One thing I've been trying to do more in recent months is write while it still hurts. The longer you wait, the more your brain cleans up the story and eventually you can't remember what actually went wrong. You just remember the version that makes you feel ok about it. Applies

Yes! 🔜 https://t.co/SRHclk9Vbe

If AI made your teams that much faster you’d be using them to build more, grow more, and increase revenues, not firing them. This is a cost cut. Just say it’s a cost cut. Stop hiding behind AI buzzwords to make layoffs sound like innovation. It’s bullshit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Just https://t.co/txwBPxUqJt

I want to build my next startup with the same level of blind confidence as the CEO of GameStop trying to buy eBay for $56 billion.

$12M - $18M USD for a Senior Infra Engineer role at Railway? Where do I sign? hah @realwfa https://t.co/UWx4BNDlMb

Why am I betting so much on email? AI can clone your product in a week. It cannot clone the 10,000 people who trust you enough to open your emails and buy from you.

The AI agent I’m building for SEO Dash sometimes gives me advice I actually disagree with. And then I check the data and it’s right 😅 Having an argument with your own product is a strange new experience, but it’s also pretty freakin’ cool.

Ok but hear me out, what if GitHub was Craigslist themed? 👀 https://t.co/1WUtYl45bZ https://t.co/VDSCjiUe2p

I've been going through every error message in SEO Dash this week in preparation for the launch, and honestly? Most of them are garbage 😬 Stuff like "could not fetch data" or "request failed." Totally useless. So I'm rewriting all of them. If your Ahrefs API key is wrong, the

It's becoming clear that every product out there needs an MCP server and a solid API, and probably also an AI agent. I didn't even login to @stripe to create the products, Claude Code just created them for me in my account (3 products, monthly and annual prices). I didn't even https://t.co/d1UEsYypmS

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

Most people don't ship because they're afraid of what people will think. The reality is almost nobody noticed your last launch and almost nobody will notice this next one either. That's freeing actually. Ship the thing. The audience comes after, not before.

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.

Used SEO Dash on DailyPhotoTips today and found a bunch of stuff I should have caught months ago. - Content gaps where competitors are ranking and I have nothing published. - Keywords where I'm sitting at position 11-15 that could move up with a better article or two. - https://t.co/asWNqdK730 https://t.co/ta50B3geBH

SEO Dash now has a dashboard, an AI agent, an MCP server, a REST API, and a CLI (so you can talk to it from anything that speaks HTTP). I started this as an internal tool I built in 6 hours on my couch. Things escalated really fast 👀 https://t.co/hQzr64Tc4A

Someone we met here recently asked me what I do for a living and I gave a different answer than the last time someone asked. Not because anything changed really, but I genuinely don't know how to summarize it anymore. "I build things on the internet" is the closest I've gotten
