It's amazing that we're now backed by Goodwater Capital. When I joined, we were just a small startup. And yet, I'm still the first and only marketer on this team.
During my tenure, the marketing team has averaged 1.7 full-time employees. In other words, excluding interns, I've been working alone for quite a long time.
f you've done app marketing, you know the pain. There are SO many publishers running fraud with low-quality traffic.
The problem? Finding and blocking these apps one by one is a massive pain in the ass. When you spot one suspicious app, you need to hunt down every other app from the same publisher and block them all... honestly, I was mentally exhausted doing this.
I hope I can get some advices here. I am developer, a solo developer. I make my project, snapencode.com. It is a self-host video platform. The idea is you buy license one time, for lifetime. No more monthly pay. You own it.
The building part, is fun for me. I love code. The logic.
Most people focus on one thing, but I'm doing the opposite.
Here's how this started. I kept getting side project ideas, but I'd start them and then get distracted by the next shiny thing. I used to feel guilty about my scattered attention, until I realized: what if I just embraced it instead of fighting it?
As a marketer, I'm the only one at my company and have built a good career by making our app reach #1 in its category and achieving the company's highest revenue ever for example.
However, I sadly lacked coding skills, so I always felt that having colleagues was essential.
I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).
I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?
AI coding tools seem to come in two main flavors: IDE-based, like @Cursor and @GitHub Copilot, and terminal-based setups, like using @Claude Code to generate commands, scripts, or entire files. Both have their fans, but which one actually helps you move faster?
Curious what flow people are sticking with long term, and where you see the most gains (or frustrations).
