josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 16/06/2026🧵1/6 : Hot take: gamification ≠ fun. We've been told games are fun, so slap on badges, streaks, and progress bars, right? Wrong. #ProductManagement #GameDesign 130
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 10/06/2026@garrytan-yc.bsky.social 's claim "Vibe-code your SaaS in a weekend" skips the part where you maintain, support, and secure it for the next three years. Building (and shipping) is now easy. Owning the aftermath, distributing, & understanding the market is the job. Why not use a SaaS? 020
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Velocity is a multiplier. It amplifies whatever direction you've set. If the direction is wrong, faster just means wronger. Speed isn't strategy. 030
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Multiple projects, one brain. The real cost of #ContextSwitching isn't time. It's the slightly.. goopier version of myself that shows up to each one. Still not sure if that's a skill problem or just the deal. How does managing multiple projects affect you? #FounderLife #BuildInPublic 040
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Many people wonder why their #podcast sucks. So today for #buildinpublic I show how I make a show. All of those gaps & cuts are removals of "umm", "ahh" & other fillers, or to make smooth transitions between thoughts. It's not just record & go. You need to MAKE a good show. 060
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 01/06/2026At a quick glance I thought this said "Fuck It, Joe". It really motivated me until I re-read it. @anthropic.com please consider this as a greeting for #claude Thanks. 020
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 24/05/2026For #mayday and #buildinpublic, I released #LAUNCH and never talked about building it or launching it. Built in #Flutter on #ios and #android it helps #founders go from 0 -> 1. All laid out in a easy to follow path like #Duolingo including templates, tools, and frameworks. Feedback welcome! 060
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Incase you haven't seen it... You can catch #pokemon when Googling the Pokémon's name on @developers.google.com. Any other #eastereggs you know about from tech? #gaming 020
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Guaranteed this will be a Google Easter Egg soon, just like now when you Google the name of a Pokémon you can catch it. 010
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Haven't done a #buildinpublic as I have been attempting to do more promotion ans marketing for @sonoday.bsky.social with facelesa vids. I don't feel good about making them, but it feels like I am fighting against the stream by not. 👇 Let me know your struggles! 040

josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Have been applying for jobs for around 4-5 months now. Almost 300 applications and 7 final round interviews, almost all with the feedback "we went with a candidate whom better aligned with the role requirements", despite having extremely aligned background. #JobHunting 100

josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 12/05/2026🧵 1/7 : Talking #AI &HR cost fallacy today. I find it kinda hilarious that companies still think they can "replace" workers with AI. Starting with the fact that there is no completely replacing a human worker because these models need a human for input to kick off any processing. 110
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 11/05/2026With the rise of research regarding Microplastics, this sort of innovation is badly needed. The amount of plastic wrap in food production, even here in the EU, is astounding. I was just thinking there MUST be alternatives from Kelp or something, but bamboo also sounds great. Sorry pandas! 010
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 09/05/2026When talking #buildinpublic most #founders and #indiedevs don't ever cover the marketing and growth aspect. Honestly, this is exponentially harder than doing the development. So, today I built this faceless post I FREE, took several hours, & taught me so much. Interested in how, comment "sonoday" 090
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 07/05/2026.@edzitron.com , do you have any insight into the cost to train a new frontier model such as Opus 4.7. Are we talking dozens of billions or hundreds of billions? I have seen $12 billion for the training and $21 billion for the hardware, but I think you have more accurate insights. 000
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I hate that the most interaction I got on this site so far was a pedantic comment on a political joke post. 😑 000
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Hey #AI, can we stop calling it "thinking". This marketing trick pisses me off. At best models process tokens, calculate attention, and generate token output.. not thinking. This language implies understanding and planning. That is not what is happening. The language we use around this matters. 000

josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Reviewing how to do customer interviews for a presentation. Always comeback to "The Mom Test".

josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 02/05/2026I hate Titles like this. #AI can NOT lie. Models are not intelligent nor do they have intent. They are outputting text based on inputs and probability trained through masses of written word. We have nudged them to be anthropomorphic. It does not truly understand the world or its output. Smh 😡 000
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 29/04/2026No way? Rise your hand if you didn't see that coming? 000
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Does anyone know any linguists, you know the guys and gals that study language, discussing LLMs / AI Models? At the base level these models deal with language patterns and transformative attention based on words. I'd love to know our baseline reality and general understanding language. 000

josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 24/04/2026'AI' models are built on LLMs. They work with and generate LANGUAGE. They do not thing, they output statistical averages of language based output based on your input. They were trained to be anthropomorphic. The faster you understand this, the better life will be. #Claude #OpenAI #ChatGPT 120
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Is this satire or is this real? My hope is that OP was a master of comedy at the level of #MelBrooks, but in the current climate and knowing Twitter, it was not. 010

josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Honestly wish that when I to shut down my already AI powered startup, LOOFT, this would have been an option. We at least had environmental and climate data to reduce emissions and energy consumption. 🤷♂️ 020
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 21/04/2026#buildinpublic, today was a massive new feature over on Sonoday! Check it out now and give us some feedback. 051
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Where is the #Founders , #Startups, #Investors, or #Builders here on BlueSky? I feel like X has a vibrant community of tech and business people, but I can't seem to find it here yet. Lots of indie game dev people. What or Who am I missing? 060
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Yesterday I shipped a small but interesting feature for #GrowthHacking. That "add" button was premium-only. Now everyone sees it. Why? Let users experience the value before asking them to subscribe. Show, don't tell. #buildinpublic 220
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 21/04/2026It's wild to live in a time when I really don't know if this is real, AI generated, or tabloid photoshop. I have to double check everything always. It's no wonder we never feel rested, relaxed, or finished with work. 😡 #TechProblems 000
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I think it would behoove the entire industry to STOP calling it AI, and maybe use something else... I dunno... like LLM or Model? At the end of the day the "AI" are still probability based math machines outputting an average response with no real intelligence outside of written language patterns. 000
josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Little #BuildInPublic advice to increase account sign-ups while building listen.sonoday.com I added this pop-up attached to the avatar.

josephnatoli.bsky.social @josephnatoli.bsky.social · 20/04/2026The idolization of individuals, especially #tech CEOs is something I will never understand. They are just people, and most of the time... not even worth idolizing. Somehow I liked it better when the must have #SiliconValley item was a stupid Patagonia vest. Investors, In-A-Vest... was at least fun. 010
