Lovely! Are you in a very high performance setting?

I am on go as well, tried svelte for the front-end, but ended up with A-h templ and a little htmx. Works quite well for me!

Focus is the fuel :) 💪

Cool!! Long-term Service Contracts are underrated… built a 1M business around it (and missed lots of opportunities due to beginner errors ;)

Though choices are hard, the clarity they bring the reward. Best of luck with your pivot!

Hehe - CSS can be a bitch ;)
Since I switched to tailwind + daisyUI + a templating engine, life is sunnier 😎

No easy answers 😔
Focus is a key skill in settings like these.

Exactly. Sometimes AI reminds me of my teenage son. Does things you did not ask and knows better as wel 🤣

When I now look at product demos or sales pitches I cannot unsee it anymore 😆

The hardship of getting my “wonderful, powerful, …” sold. + a coach that took the time to explain (a few times 😅)

Co-founding is like marriage with kids. You need to get along and agree on many hard decisions.

If it works, it’s magic :)

💯 @sebastianjanas.bsky.social - mind sharing which models do you run? And what the set-up is? Tnx!!

Indeed - adding features, refactoring, perf improvements without regressions.

Adding TDD guidelines in my claude.md has improved a bit, but I often need to weed out unnecessary code :)

AI being over-eager I guess 😅

Agree - reminds me of how many people with high MRRs have relatively small followings.

Business is where your ICPs are. More often than not, it is not here (or X 😅)
