Started to write it as a simple post, and then it exploded into the full-blown blog post. Plus, I wanted to share a few photos.

Free plans are tricky.
Blocked disposable emails, but it wasn't enough. Found users creating lots of accounts by using email aliases (e.g., user+alias[at]domain). They recreate paid plans by rotating API keys from the free plans.

I should stop participating in the AI discussions. There is no point anymore.
It is obvious where it all goes. The progress is inevitable and most of the software engineering will be automated sooner or later.

If AGI is achieved when making models smarter doesn’t make sense or you don’t feel any increase in intelligence.
Then for some people AGI has been already achieved and for others it will be achieved a bit later.
In coding, I am the former. Only the tooling around it is left.

If not meditations, I don’t know how people let go of identities.
I clearly see that AI threatens my “programmer” (code crafter) identity. It is sad and painful, since it was valuable for a long time. But it is time to let it go.
And to focus on the entrepreneur/maker identity more.

If you prefer truth over conformity.
It doesn't guarantee that you will be rewarded somehow. Don't have any expectations. There is no magic and universal value in that path.

Yes, demand might go down short-term, but interns and junior developers were never code generators or code typists you needed to babysit.
People are energetic, creative. They outgrow you. They have real agency, not the agency VC-funded companies try to sell you.

I unfollowed a founder who wrote something like that:
"I will ship broken AI slop because it is fast and the only thing I care about is speed."
Unfollowed not because of the AI slop worshipping. But because, this logic is broken and leads to shipping slow.

My biggest mistake in the public API design was exposing too many options.
E.g. you can choose two different algorithms for full-page screenshots. Or 5 ways for what to wait till the page is loaded.
It is incredibly hard to support. And nobody wants to think about trade-offs of these.

Nobody predicted the last pandemic, any recent wars, ChatGPT, Claude Code, and a ton of other events which really changed the world.
And nobody will predict what will happen in the next few years.

Imagine your job is to move stones to the top of a mountain every day. Yes, you are Sisyphus 😆 We all are.
Now, imagine that after some time, a machine comes along that does that for you. How does that make you feel?

I set a $10K MRR goal and achieved it. I set a $20K goal and achieved that too. A $100k goal is possible, but it seems pointless because I know that after that, there will be a $1M MRR goal.
Everyone who chased these kinds of goals noticed how pointless it becomes after a few iterations.

I feel it as a paradox:
1. I am the bottleneck between my customers and solutions, and I need to work on removing myself to get faster feedback loops.
2. But I still want to be needed and to keep myself, which makes me sabotage my work (subconsciously).
