Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Everyone around me is so hyped about Zen Browser (tldr: Arc-like and Firefox-based) that I decided to benchmark it against Chrome, Brave, Firefox and Safari. Full review here www.jitbit.com/alexblog/zen... 010

Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 12/12/2024If you're considering a vector database - definitely not ChromaDB!!! It's a complete mess, held together with duct tape and hacks, has outrageous memory requirements. Migrate to QDrant or something. You'll thank me later. 000
Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Is there a podcast recommendation app yet? I'm looking for: "people who liked Startups-For-The-Rest-Of-Us and Build-Your-SaaS - also liked Bootstrapped-Web and Mostly-Technical" 000
Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I’ll catch up with Arvid in 10 years, when his SaaS has scaled so much that 99% of the code he writes isn’t “the app” anymore It's the dull stuff like “parse JSON from MS Teams Graph API ➡️ Send JSON to Meta’s WhatsApp API” This ☝️ is where AI shines I'm never going back to writing this cr*p myself 010
Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Have to admit, Bsky has a much healthier dynamic compared to the endless engagement-bait machine Twitter has become. So glad I made the switch. 010
Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 23/11/2024TIL (from a customer): when someone buys our product through a reseller (like SHI), they end up paying 30% more. WHAT?! These resellers are a PITA to deal with, bring minimal value, and still demand discounts every time they contact us... It’s baffling why this model still exists. 100
Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Does anyone else feel like no one uses Google at the BOFU stage anymore? At the "most aware" stage, you don’t Google. You ask friends, experts, or online communities. But the last truly open option is Reddit—everything else is behind closed systems like Discord, private Slacks, or group chat apps. 200
Alex Yumashev @jitbit.bsky.social · 21/11/2024It's 2024, but I continue to be amazed by AI coding tools. "Hey Claude, here's a website screenshot, generate an inline SVG that replicates their background." Claude: "Brrr - done" Wow. 020
