How on earth do people send emails like this?

My eyes are wrecked just trying to read this text

Just found out Oxfam has an online shop!

So I can buy a DVD box set which I will own instead of paying rent to Netflix, save money because I don't have to binge it and give money to a charity

It's mad how much good sleep and eating well beforehand affects my run now I'm in my 40s

I had a sleep-deprived last weekend and I was wiped out

Just did a longer run today and I was totally fine

Excited to be doing an interview with the founder of the Catskills Crew newsletter soon 😀

I noticed something weird

On my ghostwriting sales page, people always book a video call to get more information.

Whereas on my freelance SEO page, everyone emails me. I've not had anyone book a call on that page.

I guess small businesses still prefer email?

I've come back to the Mr Money Mustache way of thinking

Be frugal, save money and invest the rest

I'm not a fan of AI profile pics

When I make profiles for ghostwriting clients, the photo is one of the first things I look at and the more natural, the better.

One of my ghostwriting clients changed his profile pic so it's clear who he is and it looks so much better now! Trust is everything.

29 and retired.

That's my friend. He made an online business about 5 years ago, worked really hard and sold it for mid-six figures.

He's now making art all day and has left the tech world behind.

FIRE doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Someone just recognised me in a cafe because I'm the first result for "SEO Edinburgh"

Is this fame?

No autographs!

Any sleep tips?

I can’t get no sleep 😴

Did you know you get 3 months of YouTube Premium for free with a LinkedIn Premium account?

The only drawback is you need to have a LinkedIn account

Any budgeting app recommendations for UK users ?

What I need

• web app
• adding several bank accounts
• categories

Nice spot of coworking with my new friend Diego

If anyone in Edinburgh is up for regular cafe coworking (no calls) then let me know 😎

I just got a great result for a High Signal advertiser 😀

They said it's "the best ROI on marketing spend ever"

What do you think about my new sponsorship page?

I'm going back to using cash 💰

It's frankly absurd how much I spend on the move. All those coffees and pastries add up.

“Best marketing I’ve spent so far” 😎

This a message from someone who bought ads in my High Signal newsletter and immediately got a great lead

My High Signal newsletter has got founders making 6-8 figures who actually buy things

You can skip scrolling and get all your indie startup news in one place - my High Signal newsletter

I've just scheduled today's edition which covers

• AI updates
• MRR updates
• Should newsletters be written by AI?

I spoke to someone who uses AI entirely to write her newsletters

She doesn’t know or understand the subject matter

Does that bother you or not?

I'm the top result for "SEO Edinburgh"

I'm someone who just learned SEO through trial and error from building my own websites but I already outperform SEO agencies that have been around for ages.

If you need help with SEO, let me know 😀

I wrote my first blog post of 2026 - all about Claude

www.petecodes.io/coding-with-...
Coding with Claude Opus - my first impressions
Claude Opus is a huge step up from ChatGPT, which I was using before. It's faster, it's better at coding and it just lets me get lots more done.

I’ve made a keyword monitor for Bluesky

Thinking of using it for brand mentions , finding work, sponsors etc

What would you use one for?

If your friend made 4 times more than you, wouldn't you get jealous?

Matthias didn't - he just copied him.

You see his friend had learned to code so Matthias just did the same.

Now, he's a Full Stack Developer and he doesn't even have a CS degree.

Learning to code after his friend made 4x more
Matthias was earning a low wage at a cinema with his friend. Then he saw his friend make 4x more by learning to code! So Matthias learned as well
