I’m thinking a spin-off product from Buffer with AI at the core of it… but what is it? 🤔

I'm surprised to come across job postings from top tech companies still mentioning university degrees in their requirements.

I can (maybe) understand the appeal of university degrees for entry-level roles, but for senior-level roles? 🤷🏻♂️

This looks great. I might actually be able to use it.

Not me checking out ProductHunt on January 1st to see what habit tracking apps launched to seize the all-time high motivations on New Year's Day.

Worked for @polarhabits.com twice before. Hopefully again next year!

What are some lean, bootstrapped companies building software for creators?

Oh yeah, totally!

I’m so tempted to try it, switching from Next.js, but at the same the same, Next.js is working for me right now, so why switch?

I need to focus on product! 😅

Let's say I reaaaally like to work at X company.

No, not X. Hell no. You know what I mean…

And let's say instead of interviewing with them, I offered to collaborate on a project that I'd love to work on for personal reasons, whether or not they eventually hire me full-time.

Do I sound desperate?

Meanwhile, I'm looking for my next role too.

I'm especially keen on small, bootstrapped companies, so if you know of a place like that looking for a product-minded engineer, please introduce us!

My main focus will be TherapySpace—a website builder with done-for-you setup for private therapists.

I'm hoping to grow it from one customer today to five by the end of January.

I said goodbye to Stripe on Friday.

Working on Experimental Projects at Stripe was an incredible experience, not without challenges, but full of energy and excitement.

I'm taking some time to focus on my own projects, or Humble Moonshots™ as I like to call them.

Asked itself how to make it stop. It worked!

ChatGPT's sleazy salesman tone drives me crazy…

"Solid pick, Merott…"

"I'd follow up, Merott…"

"Alright Merott, here's…"

"Short version, Merott…"

"Merott, this is strong already…"

"You hit the nail on the head, Merott…"

Any tips on how to make it stop acting like a douchebag?

TherapySpace MRR on Stripe

Humble beginnings, and a full-circle moment…

Sharing @therapyspace.co metrics using the latest feature I worked on at @stripe.com.

It won’t be easy but we really need to come up with a new save icon.

Someone's made a habit tracker that tracks "momentum" instead of "streaks."

Looks eerily similar to the @polarhabits.com system! 🐻‍❄️

I have mixed feelings about this, but overall positive! 😁

I used to love em dashes — now it looks like an AI agent wrote it.

The dream isn't just financial freedom. It's never having to choose between being a present dad and keeping the lights on.

But if it gives me the freedom to build my schedule around *him*, it makes me the happiest man alive.

I spent my paternity leave working on side projects during his nap times, building towards a future where my work exists entirely in the margins of his childhood, never competing with it.

I still love what I do, and I still enjoy the craft and creativity of building products, but what I cherish the most is time that I get to spend with my son.

If my work gets in the way of that, it's not worth doing anymore…

I became a new dad on Father's day this year! 👨🏻

It's an incredible gift that's shifted my perspective on life, work, and what matters the most to me.

Polar Habits hasn't been getting the love it deserves from me! 😢

I've done literally zero marketing for almost 2 years, but it brings in a trickle of new users every day, and even the occasional new subscriber (or lifetime buyer.)

Would consider selling it, but I poured my heart into it…

Before AI chatbots, I didn't use to scrutinise every email I wrote.

I trusted myself more.

Signing in to AWS after many many years.

Going to set up SES for @therapyspace.co.

If I don’t return, tell my story.
