I'm building at least 25 small bets in 2024 👀
25.tools
How about you?
A failed project that generated just $100 led to securing our first $4,317/m client at baked.design
This is one of 6 design-related projects I started in 2023. How many "complimentary small bets" are you building in 2024 to build that one project!
Stuck in a Yotpo Reviews contract?
Switch to BetterReviews now and pay us $0 until it ends.
Then $149/mo flat, unlimited orders and reviews that do the work. No double billing.
Tell us your renewal date on a quick call and we set your billing to start that day. We move your reviews while Yotpo stays live.
What you get on top of reviews: customers answer AI-guided questions instead of filling a form, AI moderation, product page content from your reviews, plus ads, email hooks, Slack approvals and much more.
Book a switch call: betterreviews.app/demo

"The reviews app is better than anything I found on the market."
Good luck with the vibe coded review request emails, Google/TikTok/Meta syndications, Shop flows, Klaviyo/helpdesk/etc integrations.
I've been a senior engineer for 8+ years and been building betterreviews.app (with the big help of AI) for the last 9 months. It's super solid and I still would not call it better than anything I found on the market.
Is it really worth to maintain a vibe-coded app to save $15-150/mo instead of focusing on growing your store?
I believe there is still room for the flow state with AI once you turn the FOMO off.
there are 2 ways (most of us pick the first one):
1. you run multiple sessions in parallel.
you pay for a $200/mo subscription(s), all the competitors ship like crazy so you can't afford to work on one thing at a time, right? right?
2. you deliberately decide to focus on one task at a time.
instead of spreading your focus, you decide to work on a single thing, from start to end.
there's always been stuff you had to wait for:
- tests
- compilers
- deployments
but you didn't jump to another epic just to save on time.
our brains are not used to switching context in seconds.
it needs a few minutes of rest to be able to fully switch from task A to task B.
so the next time your LLM works in auto mode, instead of jumping to the other session, dig deeper into the task you have currently loaded in your brain's RAM:
- read through the plan it's implementing and think of what to pay attention to when reviewing the work once it's ready
- prepare your local environment to smoke test the work once it's done
- focus on the UX, design, accessibility, copy (whatever is not currently being implemented by agents)
what's worked best for me is not to run few hour long auto sessions, but split them into smaller chunks that let me be in the loop. intentionally.
this is the moment we choose if we want AI to be in charge or if we want to still create great products and use AI to 10x our output.
I agree that the flow state is not the same as during the times I could type the code myself, but I choose to be intentional on where I focus my attention.
The end of flow state
You wake up, excited for the day to start.
You have a feature idea you are looking forward to implement.
You make your coffee. Sit in front of the laptop. Put on that techno set you love.
The house is empty for the next 8 hours. No one can interrupt you.
You open your IDE and begin typing.
Soon, hours pass in minutes.
Everything makes sense.
And before you know it, it’s the end of the day.
You’re looking at today’s work and are content.
You’re energised.
Because you created something you enjoy.
Fast forward.
No more.
You start a new day with an open IDE.
But, instead of pressing those keyboard buttons, you’re staring at a orange text.
“Discombulating”
“Wombanizing”
Minutes feels like hours.
Nothing makes sense.
And before you know it, it’s the end of the day.
You’re tired. Your brain hurts.
It feels like you just finished a ton of meetings.
But, at least you shipped 1,000 lines of code, right?
You should be proud.
But, the only thing you feel is hollow.
Did you create? Or did someone else?
That magical feeling from years ago, where did it go?
Rest in peace, flow state.
You were dear to me.

bumped randomly into @illyism last week, so we decided to meet and lock in.
looks like Warsaw is the Europe's city of serendipity.

I also met with @igormomentum but forgot to take the photos!
we need to meet again
anyone got Qwen Plus to sound more human and natural like Claude Haiku?
it's 5x cheaper but sounds terrible imo
y*tpo management hasn't been asking around about betterreviews.app yet 😢
but i'll know we've made it once we get in their comparison section
I'm 34yo, 77kg and did my first muscle up this year
Is that considered strong or mid for my age?
My squat is 125 kg/275 lbs/1.6x bw (intermediate)
My bench is 100 kg/220 lbs/1.3x bw (intermediate)
My deadlift is 125 kg/275 lbs/1.6x bw (novice)
I think wanna move slowly from intermediate to advanced I think, I don't need to be elite lifter
My deadlift now is way too low for how heavy my squat and bench are, but that's because I've always been scared of breaking my back with it, so I was always careful, so I am fixing that now
But I am very very proud of myself, I used to be skinny 50 kg and weak! Now I'm 75kg and very strong!
Intermediate level lifting is stronger than ~50% of lifters (not society!), advanced is stronger than ~80%, elite is stronger than ~95%. If you look society wise, these lifts make me stronger than 95% of people, because most people don't even lift!
I always find it funny when you post lifts you get anon accounts calling you weak, which makes no sense, just going to the gym 3x per week, you're probably stronger than 95% of people! Which for me is a big achievement 👏
if you're:
- a SaaS founder
- you want to focus on distribution
- you have a huge pile of bugs to fix or feature requests
- you can't find the time to work on them
- your product makes over $10K/mo
- you don't want to waste time finding help on Upwork
I'll help you clean your backlog for $1K/mo
why should you care?
- your users will thank you
- your anxiety will go down
- you will be able to focus on finding more customers
why am I doing this?
- I have 8 months of runway left
- I need to extend the runway
- I'm not looking for a full-time job
why me?
- 8 years as a senior full-stack engineer
- built products used by Google, Spotify, Airbnb and more
- shipped 20+ products with my agency
- I'm a product guy and love design
why so cheap?
- I'll start by doing it once a week
- if you're happy and I have the bandwidth, we'll do it more often
I'll be doing this just for 2 products at a time
CTAs
- DM me if you're interested
- send this to your stressed (but wealthy) friends
- if I worked with you before and you're happy leave a comment 👇
how many products are you building at once?
many little bets at the same time
or:
one focused product?
why?
4 months ago I quit my 9-5 to focus on my product.
today: under $1K MRR, 8 months of runway left.
my options:
a) go back to a job
b) consult part-time
c) pray revenue grows faster
what would you actually do in my place?
(honest answers only, not what sounds good on LinkedIn)
ok I hear you
I'll keep growing my product and give b) a shot
do you know anyone that needs a fractional CTO? 👇

full day of driving today.
so much unused claude usage going to waste.
i feel everything moves so fast because of ai that I'm starting to feel bad whenever i have a slower day.
luckily i got to do some api documentation with voice on my phone, i'm not completely doomed.

i'd done 3 years in the past of fullstack dev with elixir as a backend.
i love elixir so much, but have never had enough skills to build with it on my own.
this week, I've built the entire backend of 25.tools with elixir and hosted it on hetzner with coolify.
it works, it's beautiful, it's super fast and it's ready for tens of thousands concurrent calls from ai robots.
i fucking love building with ai.
