Most dashboards suffer from Negative Gravity. You build them, they look beautiful, and for 48 hours, everyone is obsessed. Then, the friction kicks in...

4-6 command windows between opencode, claudecode, and now codex. w much parallelisation its tedious to worktree everything, and multicheckouts are a huge pain for apps - so i find I just tackle everything in one area at once and have PRs always passing CI and end up being 1 to 3k loc (excl tests)

If you’re spending your Sunday night or Monday morning manual-clipping charts for a weekly sync, boy do you need to level up your game

Highly paid talent shouldn't be spent on "Copy + Paste." It’s the lowest leverage task in your business.

An expensive phrase in your company Slack is "Can someone give me access to this dashboard?"

Every time a teammate hits a permission wall, momentum dies.
- The analyst is interrupted.
- The decision-maker gets distracted.
- The "quick check" is postponed until next week.

Just listened to Sully Ghori (now ex-xAI engineer) spill the beans on a pod. Speed, chaos, no circling back, hardware hacks and some wild stuff... 🧵

Chatted with a founder whose product had been chugging along for nearly 10 years. Solid user base, lots of traffic volume, but zero visibility on the basics: signups, growth, submissions. They were flying totally blind. A high potential side-thing thats neglected

grok-driven product/sales discovery is excellent for finding relevant posts on x.

"find 22 posts on x by people who may be interested in<product url> (not from the founder, my account) and generally about <a little tidbit about the product overall, or a specific feature line you just shipped>"

True story from a ceo earlier last year. Their team tracked user growth in a Google Sheet. Every Monday standup: "Someone share the latest numbers?". A frantic link search begins, then realisation that the bq integration hadn't updated all week, and you're live debugging. What a waste of time..

new things incoming - managing agents by connecting things where there is no connection yet. watch out for the path of planning and orchestrating agent spinning

so many nice feedback loops if you just keep an agent ontop of what you build

Most product teams drown in data silos. You have key metrics in various Google Sheets ... but they're stuck there. No one sees them until someone remembers to share a screenshot in Slack, and at the same time any discussion gets lost. By then, the moment for a decision and context is lost

dispatch an agent at moment of inspiration, and get a PR preview link to check it later. You may be able to merge, or suddenly just run through the list of agent jobs when you're back on the machine. if you use gh actions, you can now use https://agent-spinnr.com to get it done

Think about how AI is evolving from broad brushes to precise journeys. Tools that focus on one industry or task often outperform the jacks-of-all-trades because they're learning the journey. Previously you had to be a pure generalist app bc cost of building was so high

i'm just about ready to get chartcastr.com wider access, message me if you want free early access for a while.
It's a tool to help data teams & BI teams distribute their findings, and keep their stakeholders in the loop with pulses - sending via email & slack.

I've been diving deep into AI tools lately, and one thing stands out: not every tool needs to be a generalist like Cursor. Some shine brightest when they're tailored to a specific field, like design or spreadsheets or video editing. Vertical AI saas will conquer as its the application
