Amazing episode. Was shouting at my radio the whole time. I'm with Justin on this one. "Everyone should just move up the ladder" isnt a solution - there are only so many seats at the top, most are already occupied. PS. Love you guys, gosh this became my favorite pod by far.

Mostly agree, but if I ever feel like I "haven’t heard a new thought in months", it probably means I’m stuck in the wrong bubble.

Everyone 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...

"We're used to this idea that people buy products for two reasons: (a) save money (b) make money Actually in B2B the two reasons are: (a) cover my ass (b) make me a hero" (overheard at Microconf or BOS, cant rememeber)

If 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.

Branded keywords are a must (at least). Otherwise competitors bidding on your company name are stealing your traffic. And you'll always be the #1 ad result - at 10x less cost

Is 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"

I’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

Have to admit, Bsky has a much healthier dynamic compared to the endless engagement-bait machine Twitter has become. So glad I made the switch.

TIL (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.

(Coming from another old man yelling at clouds): You're doing it wrong, mate. I was 100% reluctant at first, but now I can’t live without Cursor—especially with our massive, complex backend (millions of LOC).

The early adopter vibe does that. The whole Internet felt more optimistic 30 years ago 😉

Take me back to 2010s, the golden age of SEO/marketing...

Does 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.

Heyyaa, bootstrapping since 2008 would you add me? 👋

It'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.
