AI is making workers faster, but speed without judgment creates polished mediocrity. Here’s why taste, context, and human responsibility matter more than ever.

a pattern i noticed building on top of llms for email: a cheap model isn't bad at reading email, it's drowning in noise. quoted chains, duplicate signatures, legal footers, tracking pixels, the same message history repeated down a 50-message thread. the model spends its attention budget on junk instead of the actual question. do the context engineering first: clean the message deterministically, distill each email and the running thread into a summary, pack only what's relevant into a token bu...

Does anyone have any insights on why so many individual builders are using Stripe over Lemon Squeezy or any similar payment provider that also handles the global tax? I understand that if your SaaS is big enough, Stripe charges less and you can afford your own tax advisor, but based on revenue posts from builders on the internet (e.g., Reddit, Twitter, etc.), I get the feeling that 99% of them use Stripe. Am I missing smth? P.S. I'm doing personal research on payment providers and consider...

Quick background: about 10 years in B2B SaaS sales, co-founder of a B2B SaaS. I see a lot of posts about validating ideas and understanding potential, so I wanted to share from experience what works great as a starting point. These are a great exercise you can do as desk research, even before you talk to actual people. There is competition It's very rare to enter a market with no competition at all. It can happen if you're a true innovator or tapping into something new, but in most ca...

I’m a solo technical founder in Australia building frontdesq: a voice AI receptionist for businesses. Currently at 25 paying customers and around $5k MRR. The product is horizontal by design. I’ve built the tooling and integrations so the same core platform works across hospitality, trades, clinics, legal, property management and other service businesses. I’m now trying to decide how to approach the next stage of growth. One option is to niche down hard. Pick one vertical and focus the p...

About a year ago, after 9+ failed SaaS attempts, I launched Feedvote. Within the first hour, someone bought a $150 lifetime deal. That completely messed with my expectations. I thought I had finally found “the one.” The first few months brought in around $800, and in my head I was already thinking: “A year from now this could easily be doing $5k–$10k/month.” Reality was very different. After around 4 months, I pretty much stopped marketing it. Then I left it alone for another 4...

I soft launched Openlynk around April. It's a deep linking platform I built mainly as an alternative to Firebase Dynamic Links. Initially things were actually going pretty well. I was getting users organically, got some good feedback and reached around $400 MRR without really doing much marketing (paid users are from word of mouth). But after some time the organic traffic started slowing down and so did new users. I know I've made mistakes somewhere. The problem is I don't really know what...
