What indicates growth? What moves the needle for a fast-paced startup?

Is it attention someone's getting on social media, or is it their capacity to funnel that attention to awareness about what they do?

If you want to sell to developers:

- Make it easy for developers to make the buying decision on their own,
- Your documentation needs to be spot on!
- Don't force people on calls,
- Don't ask them to show you their credit card instantly.

Just get out of their way.

Your AI-generated content will be the end of your thought leadership.

I have worked in devtool companies for a decade. I’ve watched how teams build and ship products with accompanying documentation. There has been a time when we trusted our coworkers and collaborators, now we tend to trust LLMs more.

Clear and concise messaging is key to selling to devs.

- Don’t force people into a funnel
- Don’t make devs jump through hoops to try your product
- Answer common questions with a simple FAQ page

If you get this right, you don’t need to “convince” developers to use you. They’ll convince themselves

Do most people do weird stuff when testing new image generation tools?

I have given nano banana a ton of pictures from the zoo and asked it to put us all in a metal band.

The next time someone tells me GPT tools will eliminate content strategists and creators, I'll just show them this.

If you are struggling with figuring out which developers to target, this post should get you going in the right direction.

I talked to a few marketers and a couple of fresh founders who struggled with finding the right audience for their product, and they inspired me to write.

AI-first companies rely on Literally.dev to create and manage their docs. They have all the tools to generate their docs, yet, they rely on us.

Usage of LLMs in the docs, with no humans to monitor the process, leads to difficulties in onboarding developers. Don't make this mistake.

AI agents can't identify which messaging worked for your competitors, what landing page did great, which users they're onboarding, and how you should position yourself.

AI can tell you at best which keywords they are focussing on, and what they are experimenting with.

This is of course a joke, but it just shows how important it is to have people with different skillsets pushing the same company together.

Your website should be optimized for a perfect chain reaction.

Clear messaging
Understandable pricing
Smooth conversions

When content is generated by AI, you're also triggering a chain reaction.

Confused users
Poor conversion rates
Loads of support requests

This post is a bit opinionated, but after working in a company that was profitable and had 0 sales people, I think I know what I'm talking about.

Developers don't enjoy sales calls unless they had the chance to test the tool themselves.

There is a lot of AI junk online. We all know it, we all see it.

Literally.dev is on a mission to help tech founders get the right type of content creators whose words will resonate with their users. Developers enjoy content created by other engineers.

I used to complain about having too many calls per day.

This is what an average day for me now looks like. Living that co-founder life. 😅

Why are blog posts important and why you should produce high-quality content for developers?

Because engineers don't learn from books anymore.

The speed of development is beyond what any publishing company could catch up with.

Me: Why do so many people think Wasp is an AI-powered tool?

Meanwhile, our April 1st blog post is on top of Google. We jokingly announced that we're moving towards an LLM-based compiler.

I'm preparing a 60+ slides presentation for tomorrow.

Like this to support @wasp.sh devs who will have to listen to it.
March 24, 2025 at 7:48 PM
You can now add a first comment to your LinkedIn posts when scheduling them with @typefully.com Finally, a scheduling tool listened to its users!

Docker Desktop for Mac almost ruined my day.

Here's how to fix it if you have issues with getting Docker to run or Mac saying you're running malware.

Even if you suck at design (like I do), with the right tools, you can create something you never thought you could.

I built an app that helps people like me get nice labels for their homemade drinks, jams, and whatnot. It’s far from polished but the fact that I got it this far still blows my mind.

As a chief printing officer in my family, this was the hardest bug I had to solve.

It still baffles me how a lack of proper firmware updates lead to this.

If you're attending #ArmadaJS tomorrow, drop by @wasp.sh booth.

We'll have lots of goodies and a custom-made arcade!

You'll also get the chance to meet Waspy!

Empowering people to create cool stuff is the best feeling ever.

Here's a video I made by using TurboReel, an open-source video maker powered by @wasp.sh.

It's so cool I get to see so many amazing apps and meet inspiring people through Wasp's Discord community.

Let's play a growth game. How many of those users actually clicked on the link?
