New in GoodMetrics: IP blocking and country filtering 🚫 Two things that quietly mess with your reports: 1. Internal traffic from your own team 2. Visitors from countries you don't even serve Now you can block both and get a clearer picture of what's actually going on.

tldr: i started a 10-minute, weekly AI news podcast: aitoday.tv backstory: everyone i talk to says the same thing... "I have such a hard time keeping up with all the changes in AI..." I hear it from my peers and clients that I work with. and i get it. I spend all day every day in the AI world, and it's hard even for me to keep up with it. So I started a weekly AI news podcast (cause c'mon, the world needs another AI podcast, right?!) Goes live on all the regular podcasting channels as well as my YouTube and Substack...links below Keen to see where this goes. Think there's real need for curated information, since there's such a swell of crap out there. hope this isn't crap. Links 👇

The SEO playbook that took us to $1.5M ARR at Snappa is harder to run in 2026. 4 sponsored results that look organic and AI overviews eating top-of-funnel queries. Even if you rank #1, you're the 5th link on the page. | SEO isn't dead, but it likely can't be your only channel.

@lkr Yeah, here is my cautionary tale: x.com/cgimmer/status…

Christopher Gimmer@cgimmer

For what it's worth, we did this at Snappa and regretted it. When growth stalled and then declined, I felt terrible when profit share bonuses kept shrinking. Eventually we just got rid of it and returned to just a flat salary. Even if you tell people that bonuses are extra and performance driven, they inevitably start factoring that into their total comp. And if their total comp decreases through no fault of their own (ie company struggles), it really sucks. It also creates extra burden of calculating the bonuses, determining what splits are fair, how much seniority matters, etc. For very mature companies I can see the value, but for bootstrapped startups I wouldn't recommend it. I'd just focus on hiring great people and paying them a fair/good salary.

Almost every entrepreneur wants to do this, pretty much always a bad idea. Here's one way it can go wrong (name changed, story 100% true): Sonia was on the leadership team of a very profitable, fast growing company that did profit share. A big part of her comp became the profit share. Because of this, her actual base *salary* was very under market. She didn't want this - she would much rather have a guaranteed paycheck at a generous rate. But the policy was in place and the company had passed the number of employees where it would make sense to make individual exceptions one way or the other. I'm sure you can guess what happened - company hit one rough patch and her big fat paycheck went way. It had nothing to do with her role, and there was nothing she could do about it. But now we she was being "punished" with pay lower than she could get elsewhere. So she left.

Should I introduce a profit share at @SenjaHQ ? I want the team to drive revenue growth and profitability so I need to actually align incentives Plus it feels like the right thing to do Here's what I am currently thinking: - Quarterly payouts - Equal split of 8% - 12% of profit [TBD] - Available to full time not fractional team members - Paid out to those currently at Senja at the point of payout - Paid out if you've been present for at least 2 of the last 3 months What do you think #buildinpublic?

@RealJacobLaue @ahrefs Just some examples: x.com/cgimmer/status…

Christopher Gimmer@cgimmer

Just saves a whole bunch of steps. For example, before I would brainstorm a bunch of potential keywords with Claude (or Claude Code), then I'd have to export and import them into Ahrefs. Then run the reports, export it, and import back to Claude. Now I can simply do all this directly within Claude without having to export anything. Once we've generated potential keywords, I can then ask it to do the research in AHREFs directly and prioritize the list based on things like search volume, keyword difficulty, bottom vs. top of funnel, etc. That's just keyword research. It's also easy to just say things like "What landing pages to xyz competitors have that are bringing in search traffic that I haven't created yet." Before I'd have to manually go into AHREFs and run all these types of reports. The list goes on...

I remember grabbing coffee with @lakikentaki last year. He was just getting into vibe coding and was shipping a new app every week. Fast forward to today and he's working at @Lovable and just went on Lenny's podcast. Good things happen when you put stuff out in the world.

Lazar 50 Jovanovic@lakikentaki

It feels surreal. I've dreamt of working at @Lovable from the minute I sent my first prompt and built my first ever app. I was a massive @lennysan fan, and now proud to say I am his most recent guest! This is my #SuperBowlLX Sunday! 🤣 If you wanted to know about the background of how I got hired by Lovable, what I do, how I build, what I am focusing on... and what I will likely be 95% wrong about (because who knows really what will happen with this AI thing) - have a quick peek at it :) youtube.com/watch?v=0XNkUd…

When I needed in-app screenshots with specific dummy data, I used to manually create them like a chump. Now I just toss it to Claude Code and let it cook.
