First Claude Session on Phone Feels Futuristic
Just handed off a Claude session to my phone for the first time and had a genuine “what a time to be alive” moment 👍🙏
Let Claude Auto‑fix Requests over 500 Ms
If you haven't already, tail your server logs and filter by requests that take longer than 500ms. Copy paste it all into Claude and say "pls fix". Instantly faster app.
Gym Bros' Hype: Web3 Buzz Is Just Noise
The “if the Canggu gym bros are talking about it, it’s probably bullshit” filter has not failed me so far. Web3, NFT, MCP, DAO… All noise.
Spot Founder Passion in 20 Seconds, Predict Success
It takes about 20 seconds of convo to gauge if the passion is there in a founder who has an early stage product. The passion / curiosity about the problem space is what you need to grind through the early...
SEO's Future: AI Summaries Threaten Clicks, Video Gains
As a B2B SaaS this terrifies me: I have basically stopped clicking on google results. The AI summary is good enough, and for other things I just ask ChatGPT. My business relies on SEO, so my own actions are filling me...
120Hz Screens Fuel Unintended Doomscrolling Addiction
Since upgrading my phone I notice myself using it more (“doomscrolling”) and I think it’s down to the 120hz screen. Everything is just faster and more fluid which activates my lizard brain and makes me go mmm just one more...
Distinguish Real Hyper‑Growth From Inflated Startup Claims
Some hyper-growth stories are believable. Others are not. Claude / Anthropic is doing crazy revenue numbers and it checks out, literally everyone I know is using it. Other startups claiming “$1 million MRR in 90 days” and nobody I know...
Don’t Forget: Regularly Verify Your Domain Expiration Dates
PSA check your domain expirations. Had a non-critical but one I want to keep, almost expire. Easy to miss since I only check email very infrequently, and I'm probably not the only one.
Both Building and Distribution Are Equally Tough
Business gurus on X be like “building is easy, distribution is the hard part now” I have news for you: it’s all fucking hard
Pricing Should Reflect Value, Not Just Usage
IMO Claude pricing will eventually change. Consider these 3 users: 1) solo founder making $1 million per year, Claude helps fix a critical bug in minutes that allows the founder to spend more time with family 2) dev employee using Claude...
Businesses Prefer SaaS Over Costly In‑House Tool Development
I keep seeing this take and I just don’t think any serious business will waste time and resources on vibe coding internal tools to replace SaaS subscriptions. Some might give it a go and it makes a good headline for...
AI Will Flood Markets With 100x More Clone Competitors
“You’re about to have 100x more competitors because of AI” People cloned my app even when there was no AI. Half-assed attempts by non-serious people trying to make a quick buck, that then faded into obscurity. I imagine vibe-coded competitors to...
2026: Indie Hackers’ Prime Moment—Focus, Build, Succeed
2026 is an inflection point. It’s the best time in history to be an indiehacker, and also maybe the last. I’m removing all distractions and building way more this year. Lock in, ladies and gents.
Monthly Subscriptions Beat One‑time Sales for Lasting Growth
I'm much more bullish on the indiehacker doing $2k MRR on $50 / mo subs, than I am on someone who did $10,000 sales of lifetime deals. Getting people to buy something on a "one time" basis has gotten easier, in...
