... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... deals? If not, you're not enterprise. You're just expensive. 3. What does your data say about what your current users actually need? We ignored the 47 requests for API rate limits. We built SSO instead. That was stupid

... massive datasets, they can be expensive, complex to query, and act as complete black boxes. If a search returns a weird chunk, diagnosing it is often a nightmare. Lately, I've been experimenting with a dead-simple alternative for smaller projects, and I'd love to know if anyone else is doing this: Dump raw data into a local folder. Use a strict markdown schema (like a CLAUDE.md or similar instruction file) to tell the LLM how to summarize ... ... from Jason Kim(@jason_kim18): Definitely overkill. I've been sticking to markdowns + backlinks for most of the cases. found helpful to introduce tiered memory -- only concern is latency when the # of tiers and files within each tier get stupidly

... Roman generals never went into battle with an untested plan. They convened a consilium a no-holds-barred council of war where officers could openly criticize strategy, expose flaws, and prevent stupid mistakes before it was too late. I m doing the same. I m preparing to re-launch Hello Inbox on soon, and I want to make it as strong as possible. Here s my current landing page: see screenshot below. I m holding my Consilium Belli today ... ... landing page (copy, design, messaging, hero section, flow, trust signals anything that feels weak or confusing). Challenge the business model (pricing, target customer, monetization, acquisition assumptions, positioning whatever looks risky or incomplete). Call out the blind spots and stupid

... Last week we did something stupid. We paused all human coding. Gave Claude (Anthropic) access to our GitHub repo. Told it to build new features, fix bugs, and ship. No human review. No guardrails. Just Claude and our codebase. For 7 days, it ran the engineering team. Here's what happened. Day 1: Confidence was high. Claude (Sonnet 4.6 then Opus 4.5) fixed a small CSS bug in 30 seconds. Then refactored a messy function into something readable. We felt ... ... review the logic and have it review the implementation before anything gets merged. Two things that I do almost every time that has significantly improved the quality is to have the agent do a gap analysis of the plan vs

... possible. Sounds productive, right? But your brain doesn t understand that. What does many mean? Who exactly? Where do we find them? What do we say? How many per day? I realized the plan has to be almost stupidly simple. So we sat down for a full day and turned it into a protocol: Find investors here open their page follow wait X time send message log it in the sheet etc... Some people might feel a bit stupid

... built something small for myself. it s been surprisingly helpful (I m still budgeting xD). This one works because it s so dumbly simple that I actually use. It s kind of simple, and honestly a bit stupid at the same time. I just started using the power of GPT to track my spending. I literally tell it things like: I spent 45 MAD on lunch. Add 120 MAD groceries yesterday. and it just does the job. GPT figures ...

... asks ChatGPT "what's the best tool for [your thing]?" crickets. Your project doesn't even exist in AI's world. That's the problem we spent 10 months solving. --- DeepRank AI = visibility for the AI internet It's stupid simple: 1 Paste your URL Get instant AI visibility audit 2 Copy FIX prompts Literally paste them into your AI agent to implement fixes 3 Watch rankings See when ChatGPT/Perplexity start recommending you No SEO degree needed. No technical complexity ... ... search is different. It's about making your project understandable to AI models. And you can do that in an afternoon. Think about it: - Your perfect users are asking ChatGPT for recommendations RIGHT NOW - AI is citing your competitors

... ever since I was maybe 11 years old I have been "starting" businesses. When I was young, I of course new nothing, so I would come up with some stupid idea and not know how to sell/market it. The earliest one I remember is learning what Wix was so I made a website that was supposedly for sharing stories. I thought I would be the next Zuckerburg. The next day I signed on to see that my page ... ... visits overnight so I quit. I guess I thought people just scroll across new websites lol. Every 6 months I would be on some new journey, each being slightly less stupid

... risk while you have a salary-paying job and while you re going it alone are two very different things. I fell into a spiral of self doubt with 2 voices in my head: Voice #1: This is stupid. You are stupid

... EZsite AI's main customers is SMBs with no coding experience, so we build native built-in database and also allow uer to use their own database like PostGre SQL or Oracle besides Supabase. One core feature we have VS. Bolt/Lovable is that SMB actually needs conversion rate improvement and sales funnel automation. So Our USP is to build AI apps that can convert and ship revenue eventually with AI. Thanks again for your inspiration! We are planning to launch ... ... there in the longer term as well though. But, not everything needs to be a business luckily. I'm looking forward to those fun projects! Comment from Ambika Vaish(@ambika_vaish): @gabe there s something beautiful about how stupid

... know if I'm really learning anything when AI does everything for me. It's like a modern calculator that gives you the result without you understanding the processes and structures behind the calculations. Is AI making us stupid? How do you approach using AI so that you still can learn and "use" your brain more actively? IMO this will be a huge thing for the next generations and kids because if they rely too much on AI, they ... ... from it rather than just relying on it to do everything for us. One way I make sure I stay engaged is by not just accepting AI s first response. Instead, I challenge it asking follow-up questions, seeking alternative
