aie / automating workflows for smbs
there is little reason for you not to do things we live in a time of highly leveraged doing of things

most companies want to start with an ai knowledge base in my opinion that’s a really bad idea. the roi is hard to measure and the technical complexity is relatively high. rather start with semi-automating a process that’s a known pain point. simple, then complex
writing/reading code is completely distinct from generating code. imo you shouldn't mix both of them up. that's why coding agent cli's execute augmented coding way better. separation of concerns.
had a long talk with denis about the vision of notate last weekend. this isn’t just another note taking app. he is onto something
Introducing Notate: a context-oriented knowledge retention platform that actually works. Because "second brains" are a scam.
cool 3 monitor setup. how many can you watch at once? that’s what i thought..
gm > do more of what worked > do less of what didn’t rooting for you

I recently realized people pay as much to get rid of things they are annoyed by as they do for problems with real roi
i am trying to create a working outreach system for the business. it is really hard and so far the only thing that really worked is increasing volume. so why do it? imo it makes your business > easy to sell > hard to copy > hard to kill
can content or posts be to long? the problems seems to be, that it’s to boring.
the instafication of x is a good thing. you will be able to distinguish signal from noice by a quick scroll of the TL
each dependency you add should have at least one specific problem it solves. stay as close to the problem for as long as possible. abstract only when really needed.
there are companies out there spending multiple 6 figures in inference infra, without an idea what to use it for that’s crazy to me
recently we wasted a ton of time commuting to in-person meetings either prospects. my plan is to do qualification call > problem workshop > sales call 15 > 60 > 15 min only in person one being the problem workshop. would you be finde with that or expect the first appointment…
i am incredibly bullish on the people in europe. europe as a bureaucratic construct.. not so much. still, you can build great stuff with incredible people over here. don’t give in to pessimism! learn, ship and hone delusional optimism
if you are disliking your x feed just open up LinkedIn for a second you will come back thankful as fuck
