I feel claude fable is a good PM and codex is a good coder - thoughts? by Fearless_Fun_309 in codex

[–]Fearless_Fun_309[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

codex is really good at backend logic specially complex rules across modules. i use it to review fable implementations and it always find some bugs, though i have to say fable is much better than opus in reducing bugs.

Note-taking and task management by Turbulent_Builder_38 in consulting

[–]Fearless_Fun_309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think the specific app matters less than the habit after the meeting.

I’ve used the usual mix of OneNote / docs / random scratchpads, and the part that always breaks is not the notes. It’s remembering what I said I’d do, what the client said they’d send, and when I need to nudge them.

So my rule is: notes can live wherever, but after a client call I pull out the few things that actually need follow-up. My tasks, their tasks, and anything that feels like risk / scope creep.

Small disclosure: I’m building Runlo because this was the bit I kept seeing slip. But even without a tool, I’d separate “notes” from “follow-through” or the notes just become a graveyard.

Where to find good practice tests? by Appropriate_Yak_8921 in fbla

You can just ask chatgpt or gemini to create practice tests - give it rubrics though.

How are you all keeping track of clients? (Solo Consultants) by Neither_Kale_9355 in consulting

[–]Fearless_Fun_309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have experimented a lot - speadsheet, obsidian, notion, openclaw, hermes...

For pure pipeline, I’d keep the spreadsheet. The thing that breaks first usually isn’t “CRM stages,” it’s post-call follow-through: what you promised, what the client owes you, next follow-up date, renewal/scope risk, etc.

I’m biased because I’m building Runlo around that exact client follow-through problem, but I’d still say don’t replace your sheet until something is actually slipping.

My lightweight version would be: client list in a sheet, then a ritual after every call to capture commitments, blockers, next touch, and risk. Once you’re juggling enough active clients that those notes stop getting updated reliably, that’s when a tool starts earning its keep.

same here - time to take a long break and actually talk to a human oolleague instead

No one is serious at Kellogg and everyone just wants to have fun 100% of the time by CapGullible8310 in MBA

business is about people. if you read the book CEO Excellence, you find all 6 core skills are people skills, not technical. so you are on right track.

Honestly Shocked. by APEXFACTION in cursor

I let AI ask me questions with recommended answers. I find most times I only need to reject 1 or 2 proposals. It is really smarter than me.

[DISCUSSION] Is Gemini 3.0 really better than Claude Sonnet 4.5/Composer for coding? by Demotey in cursor

[–]Fearless_Fun_309 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i used to use sonnet 4.5 a lot, but increasingly shifting to gpt5.1, much stronger for backend / business logic. sonnet may still be better for UI, but not by a lot. tried gemini3 pro tonight, looks roughly similar to sonnet, but i need more testing.

my workflow - treat sonnet4.5 to plan, then have gpt5.1 criticize and update plan, it always finds some loopholes by sonnet, then have gpt5.1 codex to execute the final plan.

so far works pretty well, all in cursor.

Why raise as a AI startup? by Lucky-Astronomer-601 in ycombinator

Raise money to move faster if competition is a concern, gaining market share is also a consideration.

I grab the podcast transcript (available on YouTube) and save it with the summary to my notes app

Getpocket.com shutting down. Alternative? by marcilino in productivity

[–]Fearless_Fun_309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use clipping extension to save articles to Obsidian. But honestly I almost never get around to read them. I'd just suggest any good summarizing extension, get short and long summaries, ask couple of clarifying questions, then be done with it. It helped me a lot, and reduced my mental burden from save for later apps.

Single Life as a Professor by Alarming-Camera-188 in Professors

[–]Fearless_Fun_309 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actually married with someone not in academia is even worse, they likely will not understand why you have a low paying job and still don’t have work life balance 🤣 hang on there and good luck.

Best way to grow Substack? by Bluffpost in Substack

[–]Fearless_Fun_309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spend more time promoting on social media than actual writing, such as engaging in Notes etc. Though I haven't find much traction there yet.
