Ok yall, marketing is biting me in the ass real bad, but I attended Startup week recently and attended every single Marketing Breakout Session. I've got notes. The Foundation: Answer the follwing questions BEFORE you even touch a marketing strategy, and just remember if you're selling to everyone, you sell to NO ONE! Who is your ideal target demographic? What problem does your business/app solve? How does your account differ from competitors? Top Social Media Apps for Mark...

Going live in 4 hours and already got 30+ users waiting for the launch! So, I thought to make it more impactful by onboarding them personally via Google meet.

I built a video generator for SaaS companies. Feed it a website, it creates a demo video. Simple enough. Except the videos kept coming out wrong. The AI would scan a homepage and grab the obvious stuff. "Streamline your workflow." "Boost productivity." All the generic marketing copy that tells you nothing. But the real value? That was always hidden. A Slack integration buried in the pricing page. A customer quote about fixing their Asana problem, three clicks deep. Th...

I did it for 6 months. Only figured it out when someone outside my head finally used it. Here's what it looks like from the inside. You have a problem. A real one. You feel it daily. So you build something that solves it exactly the way you would want it solved. Every decision makes sense because you are simultaneously the builder and the ideal user. The product feels complete because it fits your brain perfectly. Then a stranger uses it. And you watch them get confused at the thing you th...

I'm 14. I built Receipts because I got accused of using AI on an essay I actually wrote and had no way to prove it. It records all your keystrokes and verifies it against 25 plus motor, rhythm and composition checks. These are mostly demonstrated by only humans and take a lot of effort to overcome. And if accused, you can just send one link to the teacher and they can see a record of all your keystrokes and a full replay of you typing. The premium tiers get more proof like a pdf exhibit and a ...

When people talk about community bots, I still think most picture moderation, support tickets, welcome messages, that kind of thing. But there are a lot of workflows inside paid communities that people are still handling across separate tools. Memberships, payments, access, analytics, automations, even transactions depending on the community. Feels like there’s room for bots that handle one valuable workflow really well and charge a monthly subscription for it. Basically micro-SaaS that lives ...

A few hours ago I switched my nameservers to Cloudflare in order to enable R2 bucket serving through my own subdomain, and I found out that it silently had injected a JS analytics snippet in my HTML-only JS-free site textlog.cc — I had to go to the Analytics dashboard, Add the site to the analytics and then disable the snippet. I find this approach entirely invasive, you should opt-in to features like that not have to opt-out. Just a warning out there to folks who might not be aware of this. ...

ChatGPT's desktop app on macOS has a new feature called Computer History that turns your actions into training data, learning how you work, suggesting automations, and even picking up tasks you left half done. It uses your activity to build a timeline that ChatGPT and Codex can reference when you make a request. The feature […]

Bloomberg's own reporting already answers the question this clip raises — is the "messy middle" projected or already happening? At Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Microsoft, Uber, and Hyatt, it's already happened: sizable call-center headcount cut using automated phone and chat systems, savings already banked. Economist Molly Kinder's point isn't a forecast. It's a line item that's already closed. I've watched this exact math play out before superior technology ever touched...

Chart uses Ramp AI Index data, discussed by a16z. Spend includes LLM subscriptions, coding agents, API usage and GPU cloud spend. The top 1% line is wild but the median is almost more interesting. Looks like most companies are still experimenting while a small group have turned AI into a serious operating expense

I've seen this happen a lot. A developer builds a fast website, gets the Core Web Vitals into a good range, adds proper metadata, creates a sitemap, fixes broken links, and makes everything responsive. Then they wait for Google traffic. And... almost nothing happens. The problem is that technical SEO is only one part of SEO. A technically clean website can still struggle if Google doesn't clearly understand what the site is about, which searches it should appear for, or why its co...

Building software in 2026 feels surreal. With LLMs handling boilerplate, we ship features in hours that used to take weeks. But fast shipping has a nasty side effect: it breeds overconfidence. A few days ago, we ran an automated check against our own live marketing site ( vergate.dev ). We build security and diagnostic tools for a living, so we expected a clean bill of health. We were wrong. Our scanner flagged 8 real issues in production—including missing security headers that left...

On 11 August the GoFullPage extension disappeared from the Chrome Web Store and got disabled in Chromium browsers. Eleven million users, one Tuesday. It was not a hack. The developers say it was a copyright dispute over a design element, that it was "definitively not a security issue", and that they are working with Google on getting it back. Chrome shows the same "might be unsafe" string for every kind of Web Store policy breach, so the warning read far worse than the cause. Two things ca...

DeepSeek Code is an open-source CLI built specifically for DeepSeek — one of the most cost-effective AI models on the market! It was heavily inspired by tools like Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex for most of its feature set. Since it is fully open-source, you are more than welcome to open Pull Requests, report bugs, or submit issue suggestions! Installation You can install it globally via npm or bun: `` Using npm npm install --global @hermenics/deepseek-code ...

When Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 arrived, I expected my coding agents to become noticeably better. Instead, some of my workflows felt worse. The agents seemed more eager, less predictable, and occasionally “dumber” than before. Naturally, I blamed the new models. Very scientific of me. Maybe it was a skill issue Then I watched Andrej Karpathy’s interview on the No Priors podcast. One idea stuck with me: when an agent fails, the capability may already exist. The problem cou...

If you've been developing WordPress websites for several years, there's a good chance you've spent a lot of time working with files like: header.php footer.php single.php page.php archive.php functions.php That's certainly where most of my WordPress development experience has been. But WordPress has been changing. With the Block Editor, Site Editor, block themes, patterns, and theme.json , WordPress now offers a very different approach to theme development. So I decid...

With all the hype in the past several years around AI (or more specifically GenAI), I'm not afraid to say – I'm an AI skeptic. It doesn't mean that I don't believe that some day AI may have a huge impact on human beings' lives, but at the moment, all I can see is irrational hype. In my background, I came from infra-security; I am not a developer, nor do I consider myself an AI expert. I am a cloud architect, meaning I'm looking at proposed architectures, seeing how they suit business require...

The summer is officially over. I am staring at a remarkably clean Git branch, my laptop didn't literally take off into orbit (though the CPU fans certainly tried a few times during local CI builds), and I somehow know what git rebase -i does without having to Google it in a cold sweat. If you'd asked me back in May what I was going to be doing, I would have confidently told you I was going to "write tests for Astropy's C extensions." It sounded so neat. So contained. But open source doesn't...

Your agent calls get_weather(city="London") . The provider ships a new model version. Now it calls get_weather(location="London, UK") , your downstream parser breaks, and nothing in CI told you. I built a small library for exactly this failure: pip install toolcontract GitHub: https://github.com/Divyansh2202/toolcontract PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/toolcontract/ You pin a golden set of expected tool calls as a contract, re-run them against the live model, and get pass /...
