Everyone jokes about The Simpsons predicting the future.
Turns out they also predicted what would happen when companies start handing problems to AI agents without doing their homework first.

Every week someone wrote to ask for this.
Every week we said soon.
Today soon finally happened.
Multiple goals and recurring habits, live in @fitwoody.camp 2.4.
Every tech conference, every podcast, every LinkedIn post: “Taste and personality will save us from AI.”
And I keep wondering if that’s insight or a life raft.

#BuildInPublic usually means sharing wins. New users. Revenue milestones. App Store features.
But last few weeks we shipped a bug that broke sleep tracking for a chunk of @fitwoody.camp users. It was subtle, selective, and took 3 patches to fully fix.

FitWoody is Apple’s App of the Day. 🤯
Two people. A tiny studio in the Basque Country called Chubby Apps. No investors, no growth hacks. Just @patricia-bedoya.bsky.social and me building the fitness app we wanted to use ourselves.
Apple featured it in 40+ countries today. Still sinking in.
Plus a redesigned Readiness Score that connects the dots between your sleep, your training, and how your body is actually doing.
Because data you don't understand is just noise.
Training load is one of those things every serious fitness app offers but almost nobody actually understands.
Too many acronyms. Too many charts. Too many numbers that all sound the same.
This Thursday, @fitwoody.camp 2.3 tackles exactly that. Clear words, clear colors, one glance.
"Just build things," they say.
Also them: "Wait, are you still using THAT? You need to switch to this other tool. And configure it with this 47-step setup. And connect it to three other services. And read this thread on why everything you're doing is wrong."
I thought we were just building things.
Blue means it’s time to push 💪🏻
Training Load is coming very soon to @fitwoody.camp, with a special twist to make it more understandable and approachable.
A sneak peek at @fitwoody.camp 2.3.
We’ve been working on a new way to log perceived exertion after your workouts. Sounds boring? We thought so too. That’s why we spent way too long on animations and little details to make it actually fun.
It never gets old 🥰
Such a pleasure to Meet with Apple at Madrid 🍎
There’s something special about being in a room full of people who geek out about the same things you do. Great conversations, fresh ideas, and a few notes on how to make FitWoody even better.
Went to see “Rental Family” last night with @patricia-bedoya.bsky.social.
It reminded me what cinema is supposed to be: stories that make you feel something. No universe-building. No sequel setup. Just humans being human.
One of the best films I’ve seen in a long time.
We've had ChatGPT for three years and the best we've come up with is slapping chatbots everywhere.
AI interfaces should be more than a text box waiting for your prompt.
I wrote about what they should look like instead 👇

Happy AirTag battery change day to those who celebrate.
In B2C, sure, it makes sense. But in B2B? It's just bureaucracy and treasury stress for something that nets to zero anyway.
The EU single market accidentally made cross-border deals smoother than domestic ones.
Poetry.
With EU clients, it's exempt. Clean invoice, done.
With Spanish clients, they pay 21% extra, file the paperwork, and wait for the refund. On a €10K project, that's €2,100 of their cash flow in limbo.
One of the weirdest things about being a freelancer in Spain:
It's easier to work with companies in Germany, France, or Portugal than with Spanish ones.
Why? VAT.
Yep, it’s in English an other 36 languages. I just use my phone in Spanish 😅
First thing I did this morning: check how I slept.
Second thing: smile because the feature actually works.
Coming soon to @fitwoody.camp.
#BuildInPublic
I don’t ask for much in life.
Good coffee. Sunny days for cycling. My app not crashing in production.
And confirmation that the #StrangerThings finale wasn’t actually the finale.
Netflix, I know you’re hiding something. January 7th. Spill it.
The real power of AI coding tools isn’t building apps faster.
It’s turning “I’d love to do this but it’s not worth the time” into “done.”
I needed to download 14 seasons of a podcast scattered across the web. 5 minutes with Claude Code it mass downloaded converted to MP3.
Forget cars or watches. The real wealth indicator is how many layers your toilet paper has.
2-ply? Middle class.
3-ply? Doing well.
4-ply? You’ve made it.
1-ply? We need to talk.
New year, new FitWoody feature cooking: sleep analysis.
92 score. 100% quality. 8+ hours of actual sleep.
Finally, an area of my life where I’m overachieving.
We’re putting the finishing touches on this one. Can’t wait to ship it.
#BuildInPublic
Nothing hits like sending the first invoice of the year 💸
2025 goal: 2000 km on the bike
Final result: 1261 km
Started late. Got momentum. Then life happened. Work, chaos, excuses.
But here’s the thing: I still crushed last year’s total.
Progress > perfection.
2026? Those 2000 km aren’t escaping me.
What’s your fitness goal for next year? 👇
My #1 tip for #ClaudeCode:
Don’t rush to build.
Spend serious time talking through the plan. Debate approaches. Poke holes.
Once you’ve nailed it together, execution is almost boring.
The magic is in the conversation.
AI didn't break your app.
It just exposed that your business logic was hostage to your UI all along.
Here's why software architecture matters more than ever: www.microbyte.blog/software-arc...
So you get a clear overview of your night without losing precision where it matters.
So far, we’re really happy with the results 👀
Once the new UI is in place, we may open a public beta so you can help us fine-tune it.
Big improvements coming 💤📊
