Our new hire went from left to right in the same day. I just told them they could have fun with it.

I want to find a cofounder to ship a bunch of different AI products on top of my main business.

Yes, I can do this myself. That's still the default.

But having a good cofounder just seems more fun.

Devin Devin is a collaborative AI teammate built to help ambitious engineering teams achieve more.

devin.ai is sick. That’s all. Could easily see myself spending $1-2k/mo or more.

Observation from shopping around for new PaaS:

I feel like a lot of people compare entry level tiers across platforms.

This makes sense but wish there was more comparison over reasonable paid plans/setups.

Initial migration/deploy has been super easy and I'm back to focusing on application code!

Cloud Application Platform | Render On Render, you can build, deploy, and scale your apps with unparalleled ease – from your first user to your billionth.

I felt like I was constantly fighting our previous PaaS.

Then yesterday, it jacked up our prod db after an internal networking incident on their end. Put our db cluster into a "zombie lock" that was annoying.

Since we're prelaunch, instead of fixing the lock, I just decided to move to
render.com.

No haven't tried that one.

I've tried different dual core/tri core schedules I believe.

Family lifestyle (especially with toddler) is one of the main reasons I haven't tried again.

Ozempic for sleep would be sick.

(Need less sleep -> More productive hours)

I've tried doing polyphasic sleep schedules multiple times for the same outcomes. Never worked for me lol

You can tell a lot about someone based on their podcasts...

Takeaway: Your kid is cooler than me haha

Any tips on how to evaluate SEO talent when you're an SEO n00b? Or replace "SEO" with any other domain that you're a n00b in.

Dig into your business' costs at least every 3-6 months.

In just a few months:
- new expenses creep in and add up
- previous requirements no longer apply and you can cut vendors

Have an EA/VA do research and negotiate with vendors. One of the easiest ROI things to delegate for a couple of hours.

Idk why but I thought markdown for links worked on here LOL

Notes on “Taste” | Are.na Editorial Jottings on an elusive term.

I read [Notes on Taste](www.are.na/editorial/no...) by Brie Wolfson about 1 month ago.

It's been stuck in the back of my head ever since.

Would recommend.

Defensibility & Competition Are early SaaS or AI companies ever defensible early? What is the basis for competition for a startup?

- [Charlie Munger on Worldly Wisdom](fs.blog/great-talks/...)

Most things I end up reading have been referenced by another person or article that I follow. Some content that I've really liked lately (no order)

- [Are.na on Taste](www.are.na/editorial/no...)
- [How to Succeed in a Mr Beast Production](readwise.io/reader/docum...)

Gold. Thanks!

Nice man! Sounds like exciting times. Looking forward to following along

Thanks!

Curious about what you find helpful/interesting nowadays.

Not many founders have gone to the scale of WP Engine.

What longform content have you liked lately?

Still running React Squad?

Been liking OnlyPosts as a more quiet type of feed 🦋

hahah the idea of *every* Harry Potter movie is intimidating to me just based on total time.

I've been thinking of watching Mad Men for a while. Have heard really good things... But I can have crazy binge watcher behaviors so need to be careful

Would love to be added!

I'm an indie founder building an agency + saas/ai products on the side right now.

1. Rewatching Prison Break right now lol.
2. Christmas movies (nothing too specific. This Christmas is a classic for us though)
3. Moana 2

This makes sense as a global trend. But personally, consuming more long term content is so much more worth the time.

Less noise. More signal.

@asmartbear.bsky.social You have no idea who I am.

But I appreciate all your writing and content. I find myself reviewing and revisiting your articles often.

Great connecting with you!
