“I hope to one day make it” might not be the best idea after all 🤔 Happy you liked the article 💥

Don’t get caught up in chasing a goal that might not be your actual goal any longer… constantly reevaluate your goal’s goals 👇

Happy it resonated with you Benedikt! I love the last bit you said —— “Don’t burn yourself chasing the current goal, because it likely isn’t the actual goal (anymore).” 🤘 …added “anymore” from the personal experience

Woot woot! 🤘🎸 Happy to join guys! Getting me back to it all!

Earlier I launched the updated /showcase section in Blogmaker 90+ customer blogs ranging from business, to products, services, culture, news, hobbies, journals... It's wild to me that I made something others are making their own thing with it 🤯 Check it out: blogmaker.app/showcase

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/04/2026

Excited for you! Can't wait to see the new one!

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/04/2026

Yeah I like it too / hoping to find more people who are active and comment, etc. Makes the experience better. Just posting is no fun.

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 18/04/2026

Oh so true. The silence is deafening.

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 18/04/2026

I am so happy whenever I hear others being super psyched about their new website. Slop factories have ruined this feeling.

121

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 18/04/2026

Yeah I unfollow those I notice I cross posting. What is the biggest problem in your opinion.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 18/04/2026

My circle is still fine. A ton of back and forth, but the discussion is really bland: tokens, waiting…

011

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 18/04/2026

Bsky content is so much better than twitter lately / but still engagement is so low. There’s literally zero to 1 comments on posts. Maybe removing them altogether is not a bad idea. People post, people see, and that’s that. Maybe it’s also a result of people posting and not coming back to engage 🤔

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 17/04/2026

Oh wow / the shift is huge

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 17/04/2026

Every seasoned dev I am speaking to, they’re still coding their code and using AI incrementally. Unless they are forced to by their FOMO leads at their job. Is my sample what is happening across the board?

While reading a really bad Hemingway short story, I had a quick business thought about the importance of “who” is behind a product.

The “who” behind the product

How in business it matters who is behind a product.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 04/04/2026

He actually said “against the US”? I highly doubt that. Can’t read the article behind a paywall.

000

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 02/04/2026

Ah yes. Those are wild. Completely unnecessary.

000

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 02/04/2026

It’s wild how this is similar across products, niches, etc. A $9/month is a $9/month customer and that is that. And not bashing on anyone. I am a $9/month customer if I am allowed to be and it never ends well.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 02/04/2026

Way to go man. Solid cash!

Just had this convo with my father. Naming streets after people is bad UX. Parks, buildings, benches, whatnot, should be for people naming.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 01/04/2026

Ah Ok. I was poking around to see if I am missing something. I mostly stay on Mutuals. Seems Ok.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 31/03/2026

There is a “For You” in bsky? I thought that was a twitter thing

100

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 20/03/2026

Yup. Exactly that. It’s a hot mess. Not the discussions we used to have. Users getting paid to tweet ruined it all.

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 20/03/2026

Things I tell myself — Nothing is promised. Hard work guarantees nothing, but it puts you in the best position possible. Getting lucky makes a few things easier. Distribution and momentum are king. Keep chasing the belief and put your best foot forward. One solid step at a time. ✊

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 20/03/2026

Yeah you’re right. I love writing and I do it like you mostly, to let it out. But I like me a discussion here and there. I didn’t mean “I want people to reply to me” / I like the back and forth and I wish it was more prevalent on here. Like us now.

Look at this passage by Jason @asmartbear.com longform.asmartbear.com/chaos-at-start

The screenshot reads: The fact that you’re in over your head, that you almost cannot will yourself to continue, that you’re completely in the dark, that you’re working yourself to an early grave, that you seem to slide two steps back for every one forward, that nothing’s ever good enough, that your friends and family can’t understand why you’re turning yourself inside out with no apparent progress, that you’re supposed to be enjoying the journey but you’re not, that you yourself doubt whether you’re even capable of this…

These things mean you haven’t yet succeeded, but neither do they prove that you’re failing.

It’s always like this, until it isn’t.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/03/2026

Right, but the human care gets to the point quickly. AI tends to overshoot and it can easily frustrate.

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/03/2026

Hey Janina. Great to see you're still on here. And those are great points. Will try those things for sure.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/03/2026

Stripe could be our generation’s perfectly crafted product.

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/03/2026

It can’t do the “care” part.

101

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/03/2026

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?

231

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 19/03/2026

It would be cool if you can integrate AI in your talk right there and then / I know it would tough, but would be super cool

100

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 16/03/2026

I know you’re good. Just pulling your leg 😄🥳

011

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 14/03/2026

Looks great man! Hope the rest of the people around you feel great about this 😄

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 02/03/2026

I don’t know how I ran across your blog, but it’s so amazingly refreshing 🏆

020

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 02/03/2026

SEO wins are the best / because they feel so hard or unattainable / but once you see it getting listed you feel like you made fire from nothing cue tom hanks gif: i have made fire 🔥🏐

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 28/02/2026

Umm it’s pretty solid. The search is super powerful. Yeah UX/UI is completely fine.

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 26/02/2026

Ive been toying with Sales Navigator and it’s pretty pretty good

110

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 26/02/2026

Yeah I try to be on Linkedin once in a while

000

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 08/02/2026

I am not as active on here as I want to, but peeking through the curtain once in a while and I like 🌊

010

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 12/01/2026

How it’s done 💪 What’s your goal?
