Debugging CORS errors might actually be the most frustrating thing in the world. I don't really understand anything about CORS except that it might solely exist to make my life miserable.

Turning 35 over the weekend. I realize I don't know much. But I learned one thing that most people over 30 eventually figure out: that it's super important to stretch. So I'll be focusing on that now.

It turns out that there's a war going on in Amsterdam. Aparently many of the yoga studios are being repurposed for pilates. Battle lines have been drawn and it's tearing the community apart. I've been too focused on AI taking over the world and not enough about the dangers of pilates. #teamyoga

When it came to building software it used to be you could only choose two: fast, cheap, or good. I'm pretty convinced that in the right hands, gen AI changes all of that. Says someone who's a few months late on the cursor train πŸš‚πŸš‚πŸš‚

Working in the marketing analytics space, the term SQL means very different things to very different people #themoreyouknow

SaaS is dead. And AI (will) kill it. [A thread πŸ‘‡]

I came to the realization a couple months ago that I don't really want to build a SaaS. Instead, I use other people's SaaS to build custom tools for SMBs. And can get some nice recurring revenue in the form of retainers/support/hosting/maintenance/etc. People just want their problem solved.

Returning to using mac after a few years on windows, but is Numbers the worst application ever invented or is just me?

Just landed a new (big) client πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Sometimes it's the big things in life that make a difference 😁

In the latest stage of my AI addiction, I'm now using openrouter.ai to chat with all the models using the same prompt. Now I'm doing even less original thinking!!! πŸ€“

Resisting the age-old temptation to make a LinkedIn post about how valentines day relates to B2B sales πŸ’˜

There's something about creating infographics that I find relaxing and rewarding. It's the same itch I used to scratch creating slides in my previous life as a consultant. But more fun. Way more fun.

Growth marketers sharing content on LinkedIn for other marketers

I feel sorry for all those consultants who spent years trying to sell RPA when really they should have been calling it "AI Agents". Sounds much cooler.

This xkcd has been living rent free in my head for years now xkcd.com/2347/

What's the appropriate amount of time to wait for someone before leaving a call? And how long after that do you send the passive aggressive email about being sorry you missed them? πŸ€”

Indie hackers trying "marketing" for the first time

These AI outbound marketing tools feel like the next step in the decline of the internet...

Has anyone played around with the Tik Tok reporting or creative APIs? Seem similar to Instagram's but a little less mature

Usually not a big hardware guy but really liking my new Hansker mouse. Fun to see a product from kickstarter arrive at your door. (disclaimer, creator is a friend and showed me once again how hard hardware is 😬) If you want to support another indie (hardware) founder: www.hansker.design

Today's win: figuring out Webflow's grid πŸ’ͺ Webflow has taken a while to get used to but feel like know I can do almost anything I want. And by almost, I mean only the very basic things

Attribution dashboard is coming together nicely. But now back to marketing #buildinpublic

Reminder: You don’t need a 95% confidence level for statistical significance in (most) A/B tests. We’re building apps and websites, not curing diseases. Lowering the threshold is more than fine. It helps you iterate faster and run more tests.

Today is a fun day of design, working on making the sales attribution card a bit more actionable. Putting the UX/design hat on today 🎩 #buildinpublic

Loving all the started packs!

I don't know if I could ever become a real digital nomad. I'd spend more time taking pictures in cool cafes than actually working. Exhibit A from Seattle....

Me explaining to my rubber duck why ChatGPT's approach is different than what Claude recommends, which is different than what Copilot is telling me to do. #AICoding #PleaseSaveMe

Few things are more fun than setting up a new laptop 😍 Making the switch back to a macbook after a few years with a dell. Feels good
