I'm very proud of the work we're doing at @documenso. No AI. No marketing. Just shipping.

An AI tool can't have drawbacks or issues. It's always the user's skill issue or prompting or whatever-the-flavour-of-the-day-is. Altho I like and use AI, I'm extremely tired of these AI-brainwashed people.

I genuinely believe that having some kind of online presence increases your chances of getting hired exponentially. The AI generated resumes and fake interviews destroyed the job market.

I always thought more money would make me happier. My first job in tech paid me around $3.6k/month. Then I downgraded to approximately $1.8k/month when I moved to Romania from UK. After that, I managed to almost triple my 1st job’s salary on multiple occasions. And I was damn…

I want to use either Bolt or Lovable *only* for designing UIs. Which one do you recommend?

Owning your place is the best thing ever. Especially if it’s a house.

Why aren't we building fun software like this anymore?

If you're employed, do you check work-related apps after work?

AI search is damn good as a creator too. I have a piece of content that's in top 3 sources for all LLMs. It regularly brings traffic and subscribers. I have an idea on how I got there, so I'll test it with a few more examples and then share the strategies & results.

I know this won't get much engagement, because I'm not selling you snake oil. X rewards the fake brain rot content that exaggerates things. (Maybe one day I'll give in, since it's full of people that appreciate this type of content). But after all the hype, I decided to try…

Your location plays a huge role on your ambitions. Living in Romania makes me comfortable with my income and achievements, since I’m well above average. But whenever I go back to London, I feel a different kind of ambition lightning up. It’s just something in the air. Also, so…

It’s interesting how AI brings us back to the terminal. I wasn’t a fan of the terminal tbh, and I only used it when absolutely necessary. That changed with AI, and especially when I started using Warp @warpdotdev which combines the traditional terminal and AI very well. I was…

If you have unlimited PTO at your job, how much do you take yearly?

"Some researchers are being offered pay packages worth more than $300 million, and even that kind of money isn't always enough to win them over." How do I become an AI researcher?

I tend to overwork quite often and achieve minimal results. This is the first step towards changing that.
