Hey Gustav, congrats on 3.0! That line about the old 5 separate menus getting messy fast sounds like it came from real frustration. Was there a day where you were managing all those menus and thought wait, this tool is supposed to save me time, why is it adding friction?

Hey David, that line about existing tools relying on simulated prompts being misleading and expensive says a lot. Was there a specific moment where you looked at one of those AEO tools, saw the data, and thought wait, this doesn’t actually tell me what’s happening on my site?

Hey Pete, that line about ending up supervising instead of building is so accurate. Was there a specific moment where an AI agent completely ignored how your team does things and you had to undo or re-explain everything?

Hey Mayank, that habit of opening dashboards just to see if anything changed is such a quiet time sink. Was there a specific day where you caught yourself doing it over and over, switching between tabs for no real reason, and thought why am I checking this again when nothing has changed in the last hour?

Hey Vlad, that pain of finishing a long Claude Code session and having no good way to show someone what actually happened is real. Was there a specific moment where a teammate asked what did you change or how did you get that working and you realized you had no clean way to show them?

Hey Admildo, that line about forms being static, rigid, and frustrating is spot on. Was there a specific form you had to fill out or build where you just thought why does this feel like it was designed in 2005?

Hey Joe, that principle of ambiguity is death says a lot. Was there a specific feature or task where Claude Code went completely off the rails because the input wasn’t clear enough?

Hey Mike, that punch in the stomach feeling of launching something you’re proud of and waking up to silence is brutal. After 30 years of shipping products, was there a specific launch where that morning after hit especially hard?

Hey Evan, this is such a specific problem but I totally get it. Was there a specific morning where you ruined your coffee trying to fix the cream situation and thought okay this is ridiculous, there has to be a better way?

Hey Daman, that comparison to Civilization and SimCity is interesting because most gamified habit apps just throw badges at you and call it a day. Was there a specific habit app you tried where the gamification felt hollow or boring?

Hey Moises, that frustration of copy-pasting into ChatGPT hundreds of times a day is so real. Was there a specific moment where you caught yourself doing it over and over and thought why am I still doing this the hard way?

Hey Haize, that line about paying full price for hallucinations without any fallback is painfully relatable. Was there a specific moment in production where a model just tanked, gave you garbage output, and you realized you were still getting charged for it?

Hey Matthias, that line about the creative part being fun but the 80% assembly work burning you out really hits. Was there a specific weekend where you spent hours sorting footage and finding b-roll, and by the time you finally got to the creative part you were already too drained to enjoy it?

Hey Sherif, that question of how do you know if a skill is safe is something most people probably don’t think about until it’s too late. Was there a specific moment where you looked at an AI skill or tool and thought wait, I have no idea what this is actually doing under the hood?

Hey Mathijs, that frustration of needing to show your iPhone in a demo and nothing looking right is so relatable. Was there a specific presentation or meeting where you were trying to show something on your phone and the setup just looked janky or unprofessional?

Congrats George! How are you doing marketing for obooko?

Hey Tyler, that realization that the AI was doing exactly what you asked but you just weren’t asking for the right things is a humbling moment. Was there a specific prompt where you said something casual, watched the AI do exactly that, and then spent the next 20 minutes undoing the damage?

Hey Junu, that reframe of UI issues being unchecked assumptions rather than visual problems is really sharp. Was there a specific design you shipped that looked great but totally flopped because of a wrong assumption about users?

Hey Brandon, that line about validating intent against what the team actually decided, not generic rules, is a good insight. Was there a specific PR where you approved something that looked fine in the diff but totally missed context from a Slack thread or ticket?

Hey Milo, that frustration with flat mesh networks where you can see too much is a real security headache. Was there a specific moment where you were setting up remote access and thought why do I have to expose this much just to let someone reach one app?
