The Grind is on! Thank you so much for the people who was helpful and I will always be grateful for you guys. After months of building, testing, and dealing with all the ups and downs, ...

ngl two weeks ago i was about to give up. was stuck around ~50 signups for what felt like forever while every2nd post on reddit is about "making 20k mrr in 4 days lol". im a solo dev building this project after my main job... wasted way to much time fixing random UI details that nobody gives a shit about and checking my analytics every 2 min instead of talking to actual people. woke up today and saw the waitlist counter crossed 200 finally. know it's not a lot for big teams but seein...

Last year I sold to one customer, then they left me... Then I didn't sell for a couple of months. Spiralled for a while thinking is it worth it? Is staying up until midnight worth the stress for essentially nothing? But, now I have an ARR of £5,000+ which is scaling month over month. I hope to scale to £10,000 ARR by the end of the year. Hopefully this acts as a small amount of motivation for someone going through what I went through last year! Never. Give. Up. !! subm...

Spent months building a CRM (multi-tenant, live in prod, actual paying-ready) Turns out building it was the easy part I have no idea how to get it in front of people No marketing background, no audience, no email list Just a working product and a founder who can code but can't sell For people who've been through this how did you get your first 10-50 users? Cold outreach, communities, content, ads, something else? Trying to figure out what's actually worth my time vs. what's just noise everyo...

What's an AI capability you thought was hype until you actually used it? I'll go first: agent orchestration. I read about agents managing other agents and assumed it was demo-ware. Then I built a tiny setup where one agent drafts a news digest and another one reviews and approves it before it posts. The review agent catches genuinely bad takes. It's not sci-fi: it's ~100 lines of Python and a couple of API calls. But seeing it actually gate content before publishing changed my mind completely. W...

Most local AI setups are still treating models like stateless chatbots—relying on ephemeral context windows, unbounded RAM vectors that eventually leak, or vector databases that just shuffle text chunks around. Today, we locked in a major architectural shift for our local-first stack. We are moving away from generic AI (probabilistic, stateless text generation) and into HI (Human-Engineered Intelligence)—where persistent identity, cognitive structure, and permanent memory are hardcoded into a ...

Hello everyone, I am a PhD student and I am doing a speech basically how to explain AI to your grandparents... I would like to open with some mind blowing numbers. Do you have any fun facts that stuck in your mind?

I created a Whack-a-Mole game to get the hang of using AI, and today I'm in the process of creating a strategic survival game. The complexity is even greater. Do you have any advice to simplify my creation process? Currently, I'm writing prompts for code and prompts to create images. I'm working in 2D and find it very difficult to create high-quality asset sheets. What experience can you share with me?"

Bumble was famously built around exclusively giving women the power to initiate messages in heterosexual matches when it first launched in 2014 - but now the times they are a-changin' for the dating app. Today, Bumble has announced a "global evolution to its signature conversation experience": anyone can now send the first message, and the […]

GuliKit announced its first wireless controller to use an improved version of the anti-drift tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) thumbsticks featured in its budget-friendly ES Pro that debuted nearly a year ago. Available now for $49.99, the new GuliKit ES Max is more expensive than last year's $29.99 ES Pro, but still cheaper than Nintendo's Switch 2 […]

Earlier this summer, Amazon customers began noticing that emails related to their online orders looked sparse: Order confirmation emails didn't name specific items anymore, and instead listed only item categories. "Your Beauty item is confirmed!" an email about my retainer cleaning tablets read. Shoppers have posted other iterations of the redacted emails as well: "Ordered: […]

Zoom has patched a major security vulnerability that could allow an attacker to hijack anyone's device during a meeting. In a blog post on Tuesday, researchers at A Security say they uncovered the flaw using "fewer than 20 prompts on publicly available AI models," as reported earlier by Wired. The exploit involved Zoom's annotation feature, […]
