I have started new series "Weekend SaaS Build". In the first episode, "Invoice generator" I use a simple SaaS with speedpy.com Boilerplate and @appliku.com for deployment. youtu.be/bHqvhlKuPR0

So the right way is: optimistic about what is possible, pessimistic in planning, and otherwise not spending your mental energy dwelling on what could be. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁 (3/9)

The worst productivity problem isn't hitting your daily LLM limit. It's hitting your biological one. The API refills at midnight. Your brain refills in 8 hours you won't give it. Guess which one you respect.

AI agent skills are new bash scripts.

Today I let go two nextjs-based documentation sites and replaced with with python based static sites. The build time with nextjs was: 3+ minutes. The build time with pure python version: 26 seconds. Not only AI is overheating the planet, it was JS all this time. Still is.

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 28/06/2026

will rephrase it and stealing this!!!

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 26/06/2026

Not that narrow, but maybe it is useful to test sites when they are pinned in a sidebar mode? I have(had?) a few sites pinned like that in Firefox and most of the sites look like garbage in that mode which is a shame

My Codex usage lately is purely specs and code reviews invoked by Claude via "codex exec". And the lowest ChatGPT paid plan is on track to be almost fully consumed by this activity alone. And it works so well in this combo!

Microservices: the architectural equivalent of moving out of your parents' house and realizing you now have to coordinate with 10 roommates about the thermostat.

"i will complain until i have tokens to do that". serious talk: i do a few runs of asks and then add bring up only critical concerns if any

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 06/06/2026

Appliku now supports fine-grained GitHub/GitLab tokens: scope access to only the repos/projects you deploy, keep manual deploys working without webhook permissions, and get clearer access errors. Docs: docs.appliku.com/docs/applica...

big bois invest in each other's companies in circles and call it .. what do they call it btw?

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 19/05/2026

That used to be a description of WordPress site makers. Then became everything that happens on the frontend. I don't know where we are now on this spectrum. Probably you are correct

Now that I arrived at a combo with: gitlab tickets&comments and agents running on my home PC in tmux, and I bought a Moto Razr Fold, work really never stops. Just waiting for the next telegram notification which means I need to give them the next task. Is burnout coming? Dunno

Asked codex to do a security review of the codebase. While it found some low priority things that I was aware of, it did bring up some unpleasant issues that were there for a couple of years. Fixed most of them already. All while sipping 2nd morning coffee. Wild times!

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 26/04/2026

Customers keep sending great feedback and feature requests. Clusters just got much better and powerful!

Also in slack: without reaching to HR you can't block a person on slack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You know what I noticed? Any chat app is lost productivity when the scale is big enough. People stop reading these chats anyway and now claim "reaching me over email is easier". Wtf is the point of these chats anymore:( Key people don't read chats and who wants to reach them are left hanging waiting

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 15/04/2026

Today coding with @cursor_ai the whole day because of the problems that Claude is having. I am actually impressed by the progress they made, their model is insanely fast and works great! Haven't really used my cursor subscription for like 6 months or so. Glad I kept it! Wow!

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 15/04/2026

Wrote 80% of the spec today for the automation of my workflow. I am super excited. I just love when all the manual work that somehow got shaped into a repeated process gets automated and saves if not too much time but at least cuts the manual work

000

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 15/04/2026

I think after a year of active usage of these AI coding agents I have articulated my own workflow. I am doing it manually now. And now I set out to automate it. It is somewhat specific to the tools I use, but implementation is very simple in fact. Wish me luck.

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 12/04/2026

Sitting here building @appliku.com CLI and a skill for CC to use it. So far so good. Just added the skill to speedpy.com Time to try it all together. Super excited, feeling bad it took me long enough to release CLI, but it came out really good. Lots of work ahead though

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 02/04/2026

Post here if you find anything. I kind of in like/hate relationship with wagtail. Tbh I am ready to phase it out eventually where I use it.

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 29/03/2026

Absolutely agree. But we are talking about Microslop here. They can't even do branding right, let alone greyed out check boxes. 🤣

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 29/03/2026

Actually you seem to be correct. Copilot part is managed by an org I am part of. Thanks for this hint, it was correct!

No, that's mine. But I am a part of an org maybe that affects it somehow. Good idea about it

000

Yeah I have mostly public repos anyway, I am sure Gitlab is having fun teach models about my code: "look, model, a dinosaur typed it himself with his bare hands"

Funny enough I have a cemetery of such projects and I know people who sold their apps because their jar of fucks to give got empty

Thanks. Been there. No such option for me in there sadly.

Luckily you can kill it and resume the conversation easily, so it's not that big of a deal anyway

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 25/03/2026

May or may not be some LSP under the hood especially if it is some JS thing you are working on that would be a norm. But ofc the codex itself can have some leak or something

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 25/03/2026

Had a great morning session of fixing celery tasks and logging. No AI, just my bare hands and brain. Exciting. I like how it feels. Feeling alive again.

Updated packages in speedpy.com #django SaaS boilerplate. Django 6.0.3 + some other stuff

kostja.me/posts/4 made a post finally. probably because I am tired explaining the same thing to folks who are lagging in AI adoption

Hey friends. I want to be more active on here. How do I do it? I know you’re going to say “well, be more active!” / but I have tried and not many people reply. Has it changed?

Kostja Palović @kostja.me · 19/03/2026

A very requested feature is finally here. No more disk wasted on old backups!

Maybe CC limits are a good metric for working on side projects. Like no dota while you still have tokens to spend

TLDR on software updates on iphone Want to upgrade? No? Okay, just remind me you PIN Why? Well so I can upgrade it anyway No Okay, give your pin anyway I'll do it at night. No There is no no option. I will just ask later
