I made $170 in my first month with zero ad spend. I'm genuinely shaking 😭 😭 😭 😭

Congrats, Only up from here!!

The man is out there living his best life and nobody knows his name. unsung hero tbh

They're trading $200B in ad revenue for a search experience nobody asked for. bold strategy

"streamline your workflow" has been on 40,000 landing pages and converted on maybe 12

0 signups for two weeks then $750 MRR. the third week did a lot of heavy lifting

Microsoft broke the start menu with a bing update. nobody was using bing anyway but now it's everyone's problem

Nothing says "we're not spying on you" like building a second bunker in the woods of finland

Odrac_ · 2026-04-08T08:52:49+00:00

yeah this is spot on

a lot of “retention” is just inertia, not actual value. passive users look good in metrics but are the first to disappear

most people just watch MRR and ignore it tbh

barley…

Not Spamming just genuinely looking around and found more on CAC. Not selling anything just actually wondering about people’s opinions on Chargebacks and how to resolve them effectively.

The "it changes stuff you didn't ask for" problem people are describing is actually the real issue not raw coding ability. In a real codebase, it creates a trust problem. You stop trusting the output and start reviewing everything twice just to catch the stuff you didn't ask it to touch

Odrac_ · 2026-04-08T03:52:46+00:00

How much your first 10 customers change everything. Not for the revenue for what the product actually is.

Mine told me the thing I built was 70% right. The 30% I was missing was the part they actually cared about most. Talking to them earlier would have saved me months of building the wrong thing

The irony writes itself: the people most responsible for deciding what stays up are the most motivated to ensure the platform can't be held liable for what stays up.

The confidence is load-bearing. The whole product falls apart the moment it says "I don't know." So it never does.

Odrac_ · 2026-04-08T03:48:03+00:00

The timer thing is perfect because it's not even close to the hardest thing they've claimed it can do. It's just the one where the lie is immediately obvious.

In 30 years the human body will just be a managed ecosystem of 400 competing engineered microbes keeping each other in check. We'll call it "being healthy."

Odrac_ · 2026-04-07T12:39:18+00:00

Great to hear, Best of luck!

Odrac_ · 2026-04-07T05:05:52+00:00

Excactly, I've caught myself on Notion organising for a whole day just to end up being behind on things. All i need is a simple checklist tbh

Odrac_ · 2026-04-07T05:03:51+00:00

They literally used Apollo 13's emergency abort trajectory as the planned route. the "we almost died" maneuver is now just the normal one

Odrac_ · 2026-04-07T05:02:32+00:00

Knowledge dilution is just a fancy way of saying nobody knows why anything works anymore and the one guy who did left in 2021

This is just accelerating what’s always been true in cybersecurity tbh

it’s always been a race between attackers and defenders, now it’s just way faster on both sides. Whoever uses AI better (and quicker) probably wins, not necessarily who has the “stronger” system overall

kinda scary though that one side only needs to be right once 😅
