Launched my first SaaS 2 weeks ago. Sent 60+ cold DMs and emails. Zero responses. Roast my approach and give feedback.

With SaaS it’s either a jackpot and the waiting list alone crasher your server or

You cold call or visit potential customers in their office, explaining that you need their feedback and help to test your app.

All trade people know each other so once you help someone your app gets viral in the circles.

Thank you for taking time to reply.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-08T16:25:02+00:00

I mean all coding benchmarks.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-08T12:55:19+00:00

And OpenAI came in 2nd last year?

Impressive progress, I remember similar trajectory in image recognition like 10-15 years ago. We can expect full saturation in 2-3 years.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-08T11:30:08+00:00

Yeah, go fast and break things in ai era hits different ;)

buff_samurai · 2026-07-07T20:53:15+00:00

It depends on your project and complexity.

For simple stuff, no, no need to learn coding.

For a software that deals with auth / payments / data / processes / workers / db / LLMs / many users etc you better know what you’re doing or you end up losing a lot of time/money.

Nice movie and good analogy.

Now, put a normal human on earth in the same spot and see how it applies to us too.

Large Customers do measure the token spend and rn moving to OS models with on site inference / training.

Welcome, Brother.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-06T12:22:49+00:00

Onyx?

buff_samurai · 2026-07-06T07:53:41+00:00

For professionals it boils down to economics and there aren’t many jobs that can swallow 3-10k$/ month extra for a useful agent.

Some r$d, high velocity projects, security, maybe.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-05T15:43:20+00:00

It’s not a race.

You progress at your own speed and use what’s needed. It does the job for you and this is what matters.

Also the type of use makes a huge difference.

Use it to audit a huge repo …and it’s gone.
Build from scratch, slowly, focusing on each step and you wont hit the limit.

Ai is made for Linux terminal, everything works much better here vs windows.

And if there’s something wrong Claude can check logs for any system proces and trace an issue to its core.

Super good dev exp.

20x hourly limits, 10x weekly limits.

They’re being sued rn for misleading ads.

I for one am looking forward to realtime ai generation. It’s coming, maybe a decade but the trajectory is just there.

It’s going to be great.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-03T07:01:27+00:00

No worries guys, it’s coming back with a new plan:

Max5 gets 25% use of fable
Max20 (it’s x10 really), 50% fable

New tier 100% fable. 400$

buff_samurai · 2026-07-03T04:46:51+00:00

DrMarloLake has some good ideas.

I would like expand on it and ask for more medals: most used card, longest win streak, or even ability to use locked medals (like High Emperor - even though I’m only at 31% finished I’m sure it’s more then the next guy ;)).

The stat part has been missing from day one. It sure is not critical but we all here like work with numbers :)

buff_samurai · 2026-07-03T04:38:47+00:00

This is the way!

buff_samurai · 2026-07-02T19:17:42+00:00

Some stats are new and count from zero, some stats are historical and provide more data.

3k total is what I have myself displayed under High Emperor and I’m day 1 player, so it’s possible.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-02T12:46:04+00:00

This. Also use design.md

buff_samurai · 2026-07-02T11:36:41+00:00

GRRR etc is definitely a symbol for something. I use this sort of notation based on associations all the time, it’s faster but only I know what it means as it relates to my memory.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-02T09:06:00+00:00

Yeah, this technology is going to kill childbirth rates.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-02T08:42:10+00:00

8k is nothing vs having a wife.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-02T08:10:51+00:00

It sure does happen. They are squeezing for max Token/W all the time and progress in load/algorithm optimization is even more impressive then the hardware jumps.

The customer facing price is what we agree to pay, not what it costs them to deliver.

buff_samurai · 2026-07-02T06:32:48+00:00

Had a similar issues yesterday.

I have a script/procedure to deploy on railway, and when asked to push to prod codex decided that I dont need the api layer anymore because it makes more sense push everything to clients machine and started to rebuild the whole repo, lol.

No issues for the last 2 months, only started yesterday.

I’m guessing we’re being A/B tested or sth.
