Answering questions is this cast clears my head more than I’ve expected.

Guess this is what building openly is.

today is the day when i verified my github profile. that’s all.
genuine question:

you’ve built an MVP you wanted to test. you’re testing it with users.

now what?

a. improve the product while collecting feedback
(why make it better before anybody asks?)

b. build another MVP to test
(tough — splits focus, stretches devs, spreads attention)

what do you do?

an artist i knew shared something years ago and it stuck with me:

“sometimes i’d just sit down with a huge canvas and paint it black.
on a laptop, it takes a second.
on canvas, it takes hours.

the result is exactly the same—
but i’m not.”

this image took me a second to make, and i feel the same as i did before i made it.

can’t wait for gpt to add screen sharing. i just want to ask how to do something and have it walk me through step by step — open this, click that.

already doing this by sending it screenshots, but screen sharing gonna 100x this.
"do things that don’t scale” is going to matter even more now—because scaling everything else is getting so easy.

i’ve found a killer use case for 4o image generation

to make it happen, had to negotiate an IP licensing deal with the rights holders—which wasn’t exactly straightforward, considering both licensors are under 12 y.o.

below: a video of the character + link to the coin on @zora. all revenue goes to ice cream when i meet them tomorrow for an executive huddle.
how was your weekend

About a month ago we had an idea to solve our own problem — getting better at sharing progress and building publicly.

Last Friday we got the first MVP working. It looks bad, but feels so freaking good.

Little thread about what's been happening these last few weeks

Following my previous cast about new product experiments. We've been building something new for the past week. It's called ⌘ INTERN.

1/ What is this? ⌘ INTERN is an experiment in AI-powered content surfacing.

2/ Problem: Most founders are too busy building to document their journey. Not because they lack insights, but because they lack a system to capture them.

3/ Solution: AI that runs alongside you, turning daily work into meaningful content—no extra effort required.

4/ Progress: 5 days in
• Tested 5 AI models
• Generated 59 high-quality pieces
• Running this very experiment through the system

5/ Follow along as we build
Everything you see tagged "Surfaced by ⌘ INTERN" is content the system found in our logs.

in the last few months, i’ve changed my workflow more than i had in the past three years.
there's this golden window from 2-5pm when sun drenches our balcony. everything else gets rescheduled. the vitamin D ritual is non-negotiable.

i've spent almost an hour trying to set up my "vibe coding environment"

had to find the terminal (it was playing hard to get), install homebrew (because apparently downloading things normally is too mainstream), then cursor)

then came the parade of mystical incantations. type this ssh command. clone that git repo. run npm install and watch it fail. try pnpm instead because someone on twitter swore it's better. copy-paste strings of characters that might as well be ancient summoning spells for all i understand them

"command not found" "permission denied" "dependency conflict" "i understand exactly what you want but have chosen violence today"

all this to vibe code a stupid app that i managed to spectacularly break 10 minutes later. i still don't know what broke or why it was working in the first place

i'm exhausted. my brain hurts. tomorrow i'll do it all again because apparently this is what i've chosen to do with my life

huge thank you to @flickque for guiding me through and holding my cursor
