I have a crazy idea... Grow my new newsletter from ~100 subscribers to 10,000 in six months. How? 25 projects in 25 weeks. Over the next 25 weeks, starting next week, I'll build, ship, and market one new project each week. Some will be funny, some will be wacky, some will be thought-provoking. I'll keep this thread going with each launch.

For the love of God, let's get rid of daylight saving time and just stick to one time all year long.

I really don't like GPT-6.1 Sol. I think it's so dumb. Claude Opus 5.5 is sooo much better.

I'm an annoyingly optimistic person. I am convinced that the people who show up and leave weird, nasty, bizarrely over-the-top, angry, and toxic comments are bots. 110% Russian bots made to just disrupt society, make everyone miserable, and make and convince everyone that the world is a worse place than it really is.

P.S. I have availability right now to help out a team or project. If you know anyone who could use some help do get in touch.
Someone cold emailed me an offer. They would introduce me to potential freelance clients. If one hires me as a freelancer. I would have to give this guy 10% of all the money I made. Just for an intro.

It's starting. In the future, you will not own a car if you live in a city. Yes, even in Europe. Waymo is pushing hard to get started in London and Madrid, Spain. Soon, on-demand autonomous cars will be so cheap to use that car ownership will crash. Earth will literally need 80% fewer cars. So all of them will be 100% EVs. There will be a mix of cars to order. From tiny cars when it's just you and a bag, to bigger vans when you need to run errands and pick things up. They'll drive super close together during rush hour and busy times. They might even physically connect like a train. You won't need to pay for gas or insurance. But you'll have a lot of other options to get around. 👇 - You could walk - You'll have e-bikes - Electric buses - Electric trains - Cities will probably tax the hell out of autonomous cars to pay for public transport to fill in the gaps. - You'll even see electric drones for big and fast commutes

Hot take: The new roadster is ugly. The original version was my dream car. The new one is meh.

I've said this for a while but what's the game plan for all these anti-AI people? Stop using smartphones and computers? Only use old tech from before 2023? Even the _Linux_ kernel is built with AI now. That means all servers, smartphones, Macs, etc. Basically everything.

My God, are my fellow older tech workers a miserable bunch: news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

I need to start a blog or something for all the weird emails/messages I get these days. Today, someone demanded a link to a site because my site is similar to theirs (I presume it's their site?).

Usually, I get a drive-by comment / message saying something like: "This site is just like XYZ site" (a site I've never seen or heard of before) But demanding a backlink is a new one. 😂

Being an entrepreneur is the worst job I've ever had. I work 12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. I've never worked harder and never made so little money. I only make enough money to pay for the business expenses. Real money to my bank account to pay bills is stuck at $0. 🤡 🎪

People go on and on about how much they hate The Algorithms showing them only what they like. Let me tell you, folks. When you show people human-curated stuff, they *really* HATE it. They prefer only seeing what they like from an algorithm

It's insane the amount of work I've had to do to stop bots from signing up for my email newsletter. 😮‍💨 Why do bots endlessly try to add random emails to this list? So bizarre.

I added sponsorship stats to the sponsorship page, which has a self-checkout. I have open slots for the rest of the month. Oh, and I dropped the price! 👇 channelsurfer.tv/sponsor/
