On the train for a good old-fashioned discovery & brainstorming meeting. I love digital, but nothing beats real social interactions 😍

Each time claude is working on a new feature.

Reminder to myself: spend 50% of your time on product and 50% on traction

After years of sparse GitHub activity, this almost feels like coming home :)

I genuinely enjoy the growing possibilities to mix and match Product Management, Software Engineering & UX design. Not to replace design taste and production-level code, but as a way go further & deeper with my ideas!

One of the hardest things as an engineer is to look from the outside in vs. inside out. Understand how your (future) users look at your value offering rather than looking at how nice your solution is.

Lessons learned the hard way 😅

I use 1 quality metric for software - ease of reliable change. Because this allows you to tackle any other issue 😀

I really wonder how AI generated software will behave on this metric. Will it be any different from no & low-code platforms? Fast at 1st but quickly slowing down?

Most of us here should be posting for fun, (self-)accountability, self-reflection or learning.

Only a fraction of us will find our ICP here.

Prove me wrong: asking an email before showing a demo movie is the best way to get huge drop off 📉

Just got this on a LinkedIn campaign… 🤯

The biggest difference between coding & marketing is that coding is binary. A green test == success. Marketing is grey zone and defining success is way harder... 🤯

PARA helps me think clearly about my life and priorities, so I wondered if it can help companies too.

Here are the areas I use and the corresponding areas in a company

Smart or Dumb?

Rather than using a bunch of services like lovable, vercel and supabase, I’ve spend a bit of time on a simple architecture with a simple container and storage.

Modular, testable, easy to change and ready to scale at marginal cost.

Waste of time or a smart move?

Learning and good decisions require a fresh, well rested mind and a healthy body.

True in Roman times

True 21st century AI hustle times…

One of my biggest challenges of working on my side project is the context switch from my “regular” work. It takes time to get in the zone…

How do you deal with this context switching?

love the integrated claude code in zed - way smoother
(and why did I only discover this now? it's been out for 2 months 🫣)

Where do you get inspiration if you are stuck, staring at a blank page?
- For better features
- For marketing ideas
- For business ideas
- ...

Google? ChatGPT? X (twitter)? BlueSky? ...

What would it mean for you if AI prices went x10?

It is a question I keep thinking about knowing that all the big AI companies are running on borrowed money & time?

😍 when beta testers are sending you these kind of pictures of your brand new app 😍

Shout if you want to help beta (or should I say alpha) test my 1st publicly built SaaS!

I work with AI all the time.
I also check every code change before committing.

It saves me so much time overall...

Quality & Speed are not mutually exclusive, on the contrary 😃

I kept avoiding competitor research. Hated every minute of it.

Built a tool instead.

Sometimes the best products come from scratching your own itch. 🛠️

Now? Competition overview in 1-2-3 🎉

I see AI tools for faster development pop up everywhere.
But what about product management? 🤔

What tools are actually helping you:
- Validate ideas faster
- Make better decisions
- Keep everyone aligned

Really curious what you use! Drop your favourites below 👇

The usage limits of claude are actually a good thing. It forces you to take a break now & then 😅 #claude #taking-a-break

Looking for experiences: how do YOU go from solo AI usage to product development team integration?

My experiences with AI in solo-dev are great. After some learning and with the proper guardrails in place, I can build stuff faster and at least as good, if not better, than on my own.
