So it seems Deep Seek stole data that Open AI stole from the internet. And they gave it off at a 100% discount. Robin Hood move.

Remember when an incumbent tech company that had all the resources, and every advantage stacked against them… got blindsided by this tiny team that beat them at their own game? Many examples, eg: Yahoo -> Google; MySpace -> Facebook; Google -> OpenAI Now: OpenAI -> DeepSeek

I was talking w/ my brother about how, even two years after ChatGPT went viral, only about 3% of the world is using AI. Think about it—civilizational wisdom condensed into a chatbot, and the average Joe is still completely unaware. They’re not using it. They don’t even realize what’s possible.

Alright, I’m done playing around with Ubuntu. I’ve settled on using GitHub Actions to SSH into DigitalOcean box and deploy the app. I put together a script that handles everything—installing Nginx, Node, PM2, SSL, creating a deploy user, and generating the necessary keys to copy into GH Secrets.

Software engineers tend to over prepare (been there). So I wrote an article in my newsletter about what indie hackers already know on how print from AI agents. Developers, learn from them! In about 2h30 I will send it to my subscribers. Get in the list below ↓ systematicsuccess.substack.com

After a couple days of battle, I finished my deployment Github Action script. It took me a week of troubleshooting with AI. I wonder how long it would take me without it. I was able to skip so many roadblocks

Most leaders underestimate the power of repetition. But in a world full of distractions, repetition isn’t just a strategy—it’s a necessity. If your message isn’t sticking, it’s not because it’s unimportant; it’s because it hasn’t been heard enough times.
