I'm about to risk my entire $15K/month business to save $400/month. 💀 Migrating AI Directories: • MongoDB → PostgreSQL • Vercel → Coolify • Everything → One Hetzner VPS $4,800/year in savings. Or the most expensive mistake of my life. Wish me luck. 😂

Today @maryamyy0 and I are coming out of stealth with Sexbot. A companion that's always there for you. Built to fix the growing loneliness in the world. We raised $5M to build it. Pre-orders are open now. Link in the comments.

Software is dead? Until people realize building and running their own software still costs money to run, time to maintain, and needs to stay secure. More software, sure. But most people have zero interest in building and maintaining their own, they just want the thing to work. I replaced a bunch of my subscriptions with tools I built myself this year. Love them. My maintenance also went from a few hours every once in a while to a few hours every month. Personal software is free like a puppy. Getting it costs nothing, and then you're feeding it, walking it, and paying the vet bills for the next 15 years.

Software is dead It's now the era of personal software and everyone just builds what they need whenever they need it I think

We're planning a giveaway, but wanted to ask the community first! What would you like as a prize?

I just released 90 free, open source skills that teach AI assistants to take notes properly. It's something that's been annoying me for a while. You hand an assistant a lecture, a recipe, or a meeting, and you get back the same old tidy list of bullets every time. These skills fix that. Each one teaches a single job the way an expert would do it. There's one for Cornell notes that actually puts questions in the cue column, which I find most assistants get wrong. The meeting notes one won't turn "we should probably look into that" into a decision no one made. The recipe one keeps the "until the edges go golden" bits instead of flattening everything into "bake 20 min." And there are some for niche stuff too, like birding logs, music practice, and D&D session notes. And none of them makes anything up. If your source didn't say it, it gets marked [?] for you to fill in. Here's why I made them. A year ago I wrote on my blog that the habit of writing things down matters more than the software. Then I wrote every day, hit a few hundred more notes, and ended up building my own notes app because hey I'd been wrong. I build with AI all day, and the faster I go, the more I need to write. It just felt backwards that the AI was writing the worst notes. 90 skills in 4 collections: - note-taking methods - notes for your hobbies - everyday notes - writing They work with Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and more. npx skills add scratchpad-sh/skills Of course they work with any notes app, or none at all, since everything comes out as plain Markdown.
