honest self-assessment time. when an agent finishes a task and shows you a diff, what actually happens?
for me it depends entirely on the size. under ~30 lines I read every line. past that I mostly skim for anything that touches auth, payments, or migrations and trust the rest if tests pass. I know that's not a great policy, it's just the realistic one given how much code moves through these sessions in a day.
Hey! I'm Yas, solo founder of Semita an AI travel planner that generates a full day-by-day itinerary in under 60 seconds.
A few things I learned building and launching solo:
Distribution is harder than building the product took months, getting people to see it is a whole different challenge
User feedback surprises you I assumed collaboration would be the most popular feature but Hidden Gems mode got way more attention than I expected. Goes to show that what you think users want and what they actually care about can be completely different
Plan your launch day better than I did it is chaotic trying to make sure everything works while also getting posts out everywhere. I got so caught up checking the product that I missed the time and lost the first few hours of momentum. Lesson learned schedule your posts in advance
Getting people to respond is hard I personally emailed early signups hoping for feedback and heard nothing back. Apparently that is normal but it is still a humbling reminder that getting people to engage takes way more effort than you expect
Would love to connect with other founders what was your biggest lesson from your own launch?
