🚀 Big news: I’m launching my second startup: Sillage. @Weiss_Arnaud and I are on a mission to unify B2B buying signals for sales teams to become the intelligence platform for SDRs and AEs. Think AI agents connected to buying signals online.

@EcomBeckett @tdinh_me didn't they use the VS Code source code to start? VSC is open-source, right?

@tdinh_me I'm obsessed at how they almost dead on copied vscode ui and made it insanely easy to switch. I would have been terrified of going against vscode bc of application friction and they solved it perfectly.

Downloaded cursor 1. Impressed 2. At $40/mo they must be making bank!!

@tdinh_me I'm amazed you don't even need to pay and you can insert your own open-ai token or Claude

@tejas3732 I heard that Gemini was better for producing content, did you try it already?

I tried generating some content for my niche site. GPT-4 still beats Llama3 in terms of quality output. I don't know how people are saying it's good. Yes, generations are fast, but what about quality? 🤷‍♂️

@ThePeterMick I also recommend trying cursor.sh !

GitHub Co-pilot: worth it? I’ve never tried it.

@_baretto Noted: If you want to test PMF, block your payment method

I think I found Customer Market Fit 😄 Whilst this is an awful experience for any user I'm incredibly grateful that they still want to sign up 🙏 It's a good sign.

@tibo_maker What does not work with Substack for example?

let's start this 👉 emailforfastshippers.com Email Platform for people who ship fast! * affordable - simple - high deliverability * Who's in?

Beehiiv will make me pay 250% MORE 🤯 Friday I receive this amazingly well-written email (seriously, this is a masterpiece) 👏 First they congrats you 💸 Then they tell you about the price increase It blows my mind the increase is that big (and very time-limited grandfathering 🤯) And tbh, I don't understand it. So maybe there is an opportunity here? Should I create my own emailing SaaS? 🧐

@i_oleksii are your pages still indexed?

😢It looks like Google stopped liking PayOnceApps and doesn't show it in the search results. Any idea on how I can fix this? It might be related to the recent AI changes, but I'm not sure

Someone at @gitlab forgot to change 'exemple .com' during the Cloudflare onboarding 😅

Another take from @dhh last week that stuck with me: "It's so easy to be great. Why? Because everyone's a fucking wimp. No one can stick to anything that's uncomfortable for more than five seconds." Do you think it's easy to switch to asynchronous communication today? 😉

@growthesque @dhh Watch the first 25m of the webinar if you're interested in learning more, you'll have the complete context

Which part in particular did you like? He said nothing of substance e.g. "It's great and we are great". Why does he even call it a lifestyle business if the only difference is that he's not raising capital to do it. Is he referring to bootstrapping? It's completely unclear what this is about.

I loved @dhh 's takes on "lifestyle business": "People who call our style of business a lifestyle business, usually do so in a derogatory way. Because they have this concept in their head that unless you raise tens of millions, you can have no impact on a broad scale"

@chnsydney had the opportunity to talk with @dhh for an hour yesterday, they talked about what it is to be a CTO, the benefits of having a small team and many more things! Watch the replay here youtube.com/watch?v=WD-6gP…

@james406 What kind of things can you ship on day one? 🤔

No one wants to spend their first day at a new job reading through paperwork. We don’t either. So we created five rules for onboarding an engineer: 1. Build. Ship something together on day one – even if tiny!

@buffer Web!

@ArthurCoudouy Sorry for the lost work, Arthur. That's not a very warm welcome to your new plan. I'm keen to learn more so we can improve this experience. Did you upgrade via the mobile app, or web? -Dave

@buffer I love you but you don't automatically save the draft while switching to a paid plan for the first time in the post editor

Today I created small animations with GPT and I love it!

I published 5 tools to improve your productivity as a developer (that are not AI dependent - yes, some still exist) 🤖 on @ThePracticalDev #DEVCommunity dev.to/arthurcoudouy/…

I feel it's going to be another great day today

@RoxCodes How to make good videos?

if i made videos what would you want to see me make?
