@pbakaus I saw that the way I talk with Claude is not effective with Gemini or Codex and vice versa. It takes me a bit of time to adjust and get the most out of another model. Or maybe it’s just all in my head 🤪

I had to resort to Gemini and Codex this morning because Claude was down. Codex, on enterprise SaaS web app: *builds a sensible backend service, then completely destroys the UI of two well designed pages* Gemini, on a WebGL shader project: *immediately destroys two shaders and introduces syntax errors, then build 5 extremely lackluster toy shaders* Before you cry "skill issue", yes, maybe! But it was still beyond frustrating. We're very far from "yeah just reuse your AGENTS.md and skills and you're golden" when switching harnesses and models.

The answer has always been “pick one and keep using it”

the answer was Cursor all along 😃 while we're messing about with our Claude Codes and Codex CLIs people that just kept using Cursor & optimized their workflows seem to be winning 🤦‍♂️ maybe it's my FOMO, but the other day I asked about which model to use between Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3 People were like "use both". I'm thinking, how tf can I use Codex 5.3 in Claude Code and also not pay OpenAI 200 bucks too. Turns out most of them just use Cursor 🤷

Jokes aside, I took these Christmas completely off from work, and I feel energized. The first four days anxiety surged and I couldn’t stop thinking about it, but then I relaxed and it was way better

I couldn’t work these holidays, my wife trained the dog to guard the MacBook

@massimuntoni @erfantalimi 1 out of tens worked out, but I was happy I did

@jubstuff @erfantalimi Woah that's some next level persistence

Today I would have lost a lead if I hadn’t followed up yesterday. That’s today’s lesson.

All process issues tend to magically disappear with the right people, especially when you’re a small company

@erfantalimi @massimuntoni But at least in one scenario you're the one controlling the narrative, and you could not regret your inaction In January we started a project with a company after 3 years(!) from our first meeting. I kept writing him every 6 months because I believed we could be of value to them

@massimuntoni I've learned the opposite lesson. Following up isn't worth it 99% of the time. If leads don't respond, its likely due to shift in priorities/needs.

@tropianhs Congratulations!! I was sure I read “Thanks for your attention to this **dark** matter!” (Pun intended)

My next small bet is a book! "Quantum Physics for Absolute Beginners" In the book I explain often obscure concepts such as wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement, and shed some light on the applications of quantum physics in everyday life I am giving away 20 copies of the ebook FOR FREE In exchange I look for feedback and a review once the book is out To grab a copy, comment below and/or send me a DM so I can give you the book link! Thanks for your attention to this matter!

As simple as it gets: a. realize that the world won't crumble if I open an email, and I can just have more data to solve the issue, even if it's a difficult conversation OR b. wait for a moment with more energy (usually the morning) and make it the first thing I do

I still get anxious just at the idea of opening an email from a client sometimes. At the beginning of my journey I thought I'd just overcome it. But then I understood that these swings of energy are part of myself, and learned to recognize the symptoms and act accordingly

@theandreboso I know, I remember! But I'm not joking, there should be some psychological element at play here, that makes you relax about the rest of things you need to do, and focus on the things you want to do

@jubstuff I also launched Zero to Marketing when I was sick at home so it can’t be a coincidence!

I created the first 5 days of a 15-day marketing challenge while stuck at home with the flu. The initial feedback was pretty good! One of the most interesting insights I got from the handful of new founders who are testing it was that it gave them the push they needed to take action. They knew they had to do certain things but never actually did them. Unfortunately as I started to feel better and life went back to normal with all its other priorities my progress started to slow down. But the other day I went for a hike even though it was cold and now I’m sick again. I’ll take it as a sign that the universe really, really wants me to launch it 😅

@p_millerd Thank you for sharing this 😊

@jubstuff It’s not my preferred mode. I tend to do a lot of processing in my head just wandering around.

most decisions are not hard if you trust making decisions from consistent principles

@p_millerd So writing in private alone (without the book part) wouldn’t do it in your opinion?

@jubstuff Writing a ton and writing books to level up the commitment 😆

@rrmdp Looks gorgeous! Where is this? Turin was rainy today so we stayed indoor

It's Sunday ☀️ As usual a day off to enjoy with the family and recharge 🔋 mandatory to avoid burning out (unfortunately learned it the hard way) 😨 This morning a nice walk on this beautiful place 😍 Have a great one 😀

@GrammarHippy just wanted to know a bit about your general setup like how you structure your campaigns and what you think makes the results so consistent lately

@jubstuff What details do you need?

FYI for everybody who is complaining about Meta ads: I’m getting the LOWEST CPA and MOST CONSISTENT results I’ve seen in years lately. Don’t believe the complainers.
