Harvest raised its prices about 10x, so I built my own: hourbun.com/ Fast, intuitive time tracking and invoicing for people and teams who want to bill clients without premium prices or clunky UI.

I'm keeping my agentic coding set up simple. Mostly by using two custom skills to ensure higher quality and fewer blind spots. 5.6 Sol my main agent, with Grok being a helper and reviewer. Works well for me. YMMV.

Recently started working on a new freelancing project using Rails. Opened up a view file and discovered that the project is using Slim - a templating language I helped build from many moons ago. 😅The nostalgia!

I'm hoping I can eventually extract and open source this, but I've been working on some cool agentic AI agent workflow stuff for a client project (in Elixir). #MyElixirStatus

A friend asked me for some good Elixir/Phoenix sample apps. So I googled and found a reddit post with someone recommending a list of projects "for good Elixir code / library code". And discovered that two of them are my libraries. 😂 #MyElixirStatus

Considering doing a meetup talk or two on how I built Persumi.com in three months and Rizz.farm in six weeks, in my spare time, using Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView, with @PetalFramework and AI. Now just need to find time to jot down some notes. #MyElixirStatus

New year, new product launch. I have soft launched rizz.farm/ - an AI-assisted lead generation tool built for Reddit. I wrote a blog post about it here: persumi.com/u/fredwu/tech/e/… Use coupon code `LAUNCH2024` for 50% off for six months. Keen to hear your feedback.

As a massive Frasier fan, the 2023 new Frasier has been brilliant (I'm 5 episodes in). The first half of the pilot was a bit rough but the iconic Frasier wittiness and story beats have been astonishing. Very emotional to think back to the old casts and their stories. 10/10 ❤️

Who needs Netflix when drama in IRL is so much more entertaining? On a related note, I've been studying (more) AI over the weekend, hoping this will get me some insights into why so many people believe in AGI (and autonomous driving) will happen in our life time...
