#buildinpublic Day 74 - It's time to be bolder with our positioning.

#buildinpiblic Day 73 - no vid today. We're not hitting the conversion rates we want. It's time to reposition again into something people are actually interested in.

#buildinpublic Day 72 - It was too spooky to do a real build in public so I talked about fog.

Why there are so many men indie hackers and very few women out there? Is it just because we tend to be more stupid brave?

I have studied mechanical engineering then worked in aerospace jet engine manufacturing. My entire life was around men dominated groups. Maybe it's me. #buildinpublic

#buildinpublic Day 71 - Within a year PMs went from retracting at the mention of AI, to basically requesting it replace them.

What changed?

#buildinpublic Day 68 - In most small tech companies, product decisions are made by the CTO.

They often don't have product people.

Has anyone gone through any sort of AI transformation at their work (30+ staff)? I'd be keen to chat.

#buildinpublic Day 63 - PMs seem quite interested in AI features, but we're not really sure on our end how to add real value with them.

Magic RICE scoring?

#buildinpublic Day 61 - "this will make you look good to your boss".

Is that the only selling point that really matters?

#buildinpublic Day 60 - Is there any data on whether data-driven decisions beat emotion driven ones?

#buildinpublic Day 59 - I don't have a #grindset mindset. Today's focus is on not working.

#buildinpublic Day 58 - My initial response rate of 30% has dropped to 5. Is outbound worth it?
February 5, 2025 at 5:50 PM
#buildinpublic Day 57 - A few months ago I explored the idea of selling to gamedevs. It wasn't a success...
