Can you guys help me? I don’t want to be stuck on this followers count!!! 😬

So I’m paying 90€ to Claude Code every month. 🥲 And now I somehow got myself in need of code reviews for my work. So I asked Claude, and it told me… 🤔 To pay for a $120 GitHub Copilot subscription, my “cheapest” option out there. 😬 What should I do? I cannot go without a good review mechanism. 🧐

I’m still using Claude Code in VsCode, what other setup do you recommend to handle 5+ parallel agents? 🤔

You CAN market your beloved project. You just don’t know how yet. 🧐 One thing is for sure: you’ll have to shift from a builder mindset to a marketer one. 🤔 But, here’s the trick: you’ll have to grind for a year, or two, maybe more. 🥲 Be prepared.

A new competitor of mine showed up on Reddit. His messaging was truly product-oriented. 🤔 So I wondered, yes AI can give you feature parity in days, but do they have a distribution strategy? 🧐 If you haven’t done it yet, please, please do think about distributing as a whole, not as something you will do later. 🧐 Take 5, sit down, and start thinking. Wait a few minutes before Googling or prompting anything. And for Christ’s sake, do not build a new feature. 🤔

In this fast-moving AI era, there are three kinds of players: the shovel sellers (like @nvidia), the model motherships (like @OpenAI), and a lot of AI wrappers. 🧐 It’s ok to be in the last category. Of course, you can make it there. AI can do a lot, but even the top models cannot solve highly complex problems like company management or cancer research. 🤔 Not yet that is. So you can bet on the future: admit the models will improve and tackle highly complex problems now that future models will solve. You will hit an intelligence and money wall, but with time, you might lead the way. 😎 Tackle the future now. 🙂‍↕️ just a thought.

My baby project is one month old! 🎂 Soon, when it's ready, Strategy Dance will lead my marketing efforts. It guides the maker, so it is *not* an automation product. 🧐 Be your first user. ❤️

Since SaaS is dying and building has become easy, we need new distribution-enabling players. 🧐 Automation is great, but it works only in certain situations, not always. 😬 That’s why I believe marketing support, not automation, will be the new king. 👑 Please people, build marketing tools that actually help getting the job done, instead of doing it for you. ❤️ Am I wrong? Please object. 🤔

I had a slow weekend and am now back on track! 🫡 Will keep building until I’m old. 🧐 What about you?

Did you know that God actually rested on a Saturday? 🧐 Should I rest? Should we? 🤔 JK, I prefer building 😌

My project is almost a month old! I plan to release it in about a month. 🧐 Here’s the pitch: I wanted to tackle autonomous AI companies, so as a stepping stone, I built a full startup management suite to help solopreneurs handle distribution. Yes, quite ambitious. 🫡

I love design, whether it’s product behavior engineering or any UI work. 😌 In creating your product, you have 3 tools, nay, weapons, at your disposal: - Vision - Market research - User interviews Use them all, use them wisely. 🧐

That moment when you are able to use your product to solve your own problem. 😌 Pure gold. 😙 Did you feel it too?

So let’s say you have a project and the motivation to keep it going. 🧐 I’ve previously stated that motivation will eventually fade, as time goes. 🫤 So you cannot just assume things will stay the same. You will have to keep pushing without being motivated. I call this the grind. 😬 You have to transition from project starter (already an achievement) to project grinder. 😙 Do grind, now or when needed. 👈

I found in my meditations that the decline in motivation is the #1 project killer. 🫤 Not money, not lack of users, just good old motivation. 😑 This means two things: either you must have infinite motivation, or you must cling onto something else. 🫡 Having a cofounder, a public goal (friends and family), money invested (not my recommendation), or anything that can glue you to your project is invaluable in the long term. 🧐 Be committed, motivation WILL fade.

Building is a joy. It truly is. 😌 Distribution isn’t, for most of us. In fact, some of us do not even start thinking about it before building. Making distribution a joy is my goal with Strategy Dance’s first iteration 🕺 Let’s connect and hopefully one day we’ll solve distribution joy together!

Soon my baby project will be 3 weeks old. Solopreneurs, if distribution is challenging, we will be able to tackle it together. Strategy Dance’s first iteration does just that: making distribution easier.

I’m solving a hard problem: guide solopreneurs in distribution. 🧐 I’m not writing another AI wrapper. Instead, I’m creating tools to fully understand and manage a nascent company. ⚔️ Solving a tough pain point with excellent design is my goal. 👈

I’m creating my own consistency tool, and I’m so pleased to be its first user. Not ready yet, but it can already output some sharable images such as this one.
