We've become obsessed with building faster. I'm not sure we're learning faster.

Lately, I've noticed something in a lot of founder conversations.

We get excited about how quickly we shipped something.

We don't talk nearly as much about what we learned from it.

And I get it.

How successful were you when you used influencer marketing for promoting your business or product?

A few minutes ago, I read an overview of a report that more people take a source of news, not traditional outlets and media, but influencers. [I am attaching the screenshot from Reutersinstitute.]

TL;DR:

FB, YT, IG  More attention is dedicated to news media/journalists

What productivity tools do you use and why?

Today, the productivity domain in tech is very well developed - there are tools for almost any need!

But at the same time, there s always a feeling that there might be something else, something better. All the time.

What I like about this space is that once people start using tools like Miro, Notion, Trello, ClickUp, etc., they tend to keep testing new things and experimenting with different tools.

What Part of Software Development Should Never Be Automated?

AI is becoming a bigger part of software development every day. It can generate code, write tests, review pull requests, and even help with debugging.

But I don't think every part of development should be automated.

Understanding user needs, making architectural decisions, solving complex business problems, and thinking creatively still seem to require human judgment.

I'm curious to hear different perspectives.

How many users do you need before you trust your product feedback?

When you re building your first product, it s easy to become too close to the problem. As the creator, you already understand how everything works, so it can be difficult to notice confusing parts of the experience.

That s why testing with other people is so important.

What's Privacy for you?

Everyone is talking about Privacy these days. For some, this is just to be left alone; for others is to have some rules for how the data are managed; for a specific group of people, it could be something else. So what's your definition of Privacy?

Has anyone found a better way to handle Google indexing workflows?

I ve been improving my site indexing process recently and ran into an interesting limitation.

Google provides APIs for checking URL status, monitoring coverage, and submitting sitemaps. However, the one action many site owners actually want the Request Indexing button in Search Console does not appear to have a general public API.

My current workflow handles everything that can be automated:

  • Checking URL indexing status

  • Reviewing pages stuck in discovery or crawling stages

  • Resubmitting sitemaps

  • Creating a shortlist of pages that may need attention

As a founder, how to get started on X/Twitter?

I joined X last week as an effort to try out the whole founder led growth / build in public thing. At first it seemed exciting. There are a lot of very interesting people there and I find it easy to produce good enough content and be consistent with it. But a week in I haven t gotten a single follower, comment or like. The views on my posts are also super low. So yes, I m in that spot where I don t know what I don t know. Actually there is too much I don t know. So dear reader, if you have any tips or suggestions on how to get going (or simply why I should just drop the effort) they d be much appreciated, even if it s just sharing what s worked for you. Thanks in advance!
