Skills are reusable workflows, not magic knowledge pills. Before you install one, inspect its source, versions, and effects to confirm it fits your project. Start with a few focused skills and adapt them to what already exists. A skill is a set of instructions and scripts that lets an agent reproduce a specialized method. It doesn’t guarantee best practices or compatibility with your repository. The official documentation for tools like Claude Code and Codex explains how skills work under the...

Prefill/decode disaggregation can worsen tail latency through queue imbalance and KV transfer. Measure the full TTFT path and use load-aware routing.

I built a retrieval-augmented Q&A tool over my own published essays. This is the log of building it — the actual decisions, in order, with real numbers and r...

Hey everyone, I’m working on a B2C SaaS and the main thing I’m struggling with right now is acquisition. I can make progress on the product, but I can’t seem to find a reliable channel that consistently brings in new users. For those of you who have successfully grown a B2C SaaS: Which acquisition channels work best for you? Do you mainly use SEO, TikTok/Instagram, paid ads, influencers, affiliates, Reddit, partnerships, etc.? How did you get your first users? What helped you go from a fe...

ok so a few months ago we decided to test something new out for our saas. so many people talk about ugc and how great it is compared to ads and so on. there are many examples of apps that scaled with them. I specifically took Inspo from the founder of Jenni ai David Park in his guide you can check out the influencers posts here as well for proof to preface this, this is more of what not to do and what id do differently and will do differently now haha but here was the process: s...

Hello, I just launched a project, and yes it takes hard work to publish curated articles with real backing and not sloppy so far this is where I got, almost two months, didn't pay anything just pure research and articles. but I keep seing the ADS like everyone, am I missing something ? or I am right to be skeptical ? that it would produce nonesens AI but in mass ? would google punish me later ? 😄 😂 https://preview.redd.it/tzugtyewgejh1.png?width=3326&format=png&auto=webp&s=b553a6...

Hi All, Conflicted and need advice. "If you build it, they will come." - I have found this in fact, not to in be the case for saas's? Background - Been in software design + development since 2013, mostly in ux/product ownership. Couple years back, i realized that the Job Boards and ATS sites make a bunch of money from exploiting job hunters via the sponsored job profit model. That, and the majority of job openings are fake. But the Job Boards / ATS sites wont do anything about the...

Does anyone else feel an impending sense of doom when it comes to building Saas/Apps in the age of AI? Feels like we are 6-12 months away from literally anyone being able to build a personal website/app for themselves, automating exactly what the SaaS company founders set out to do. They say to "focus on distribution", but won't AI/Claude wrappers make it so that the distribution of once-complex-to-build software is complete with a simple prompt?

The Unitree G1 has found online fame as a relatively affordable robot that can charm a crowd. But can it ever hold down a real job?

At a press conference outside Madison Square Garden, politicians, musicians, and privacy advocates argued for tighter restrictions on how public venues deploy biometric surveillance.

LuaCAD models solids in Lua rather than the OpenSCAD language, with operator overloading for CSG (`a + b`, `a - b`, `a * b`). It ships with a CLI and a desktop app, including a preview area and a text editor. I've always been a big fan of OpenSCAD, but the SCAD language itself is unfortunately quite cobbled-together and is a very poorly designed programming language. LuaCAD takes all the good parts of OpenSCAD and combines them with one of the best scripting languages. It has now completely repl...

Doing research with agents is fun until they blow way past budget, jumble the sources, and don't even give you the best possible answer, just sound confident. And if you want to run some research task on local data - you have no idea where your data ends up after the prompt consumes it. So I built this tool: a deep-research agent with an enforced budget, verified quotes, and a privacy boundary for local data. 1. Never spend more than you budgeted (measured overshoot is 0%). 2. Every claim carrie...
