Is RSS actually dead, or did it just become a thing that fewer people talk about?

I still like the basic idea: I choose what I want to read, and it shows up in one place. No algorithm deciding what deserves my attention that day.

But honestly, newsletters and social feeds have replaced most of my reading.

The part about password managers nobody really talks about is how often something goes slightly wrong.

Autofill doesn't show up. A website has a weird login form. You re on another device. You have two accounts for the same service and the manager picks the wrong one.

None of these are huge problems, but together they make the whole thing feel more complicated than it should be.

I m probably due for a clean setup instead of whatever combination I m currently using.

Everyone uses AI now. To code. To write. To ship faster. But planning still feels stuck in the old days. Roadmaps get built on guesswork. Marketing means posting and hoping.

I am following spec driven development. I write the specs first. Every feature, every decision, ties back to it. It keeps me from drifting into random ideas mid build. My roadmap comes from that spec, not from gut feeling.

I use the same thinking for marketing. I write down what I'm building, who it's for, and why it matters. Before I post anything.

So I'm curious. How are you planning your roadmap right now? Do you have an actual system, or are you winging it like most of us?
