OK so here's the week's progress of the first week of my first b2b saas.
I added some SEO pages, but I don't have metrics yet. Which is fine, I don't think I am ready for external clients yet.
I launched internally within my company. About 80 people started using it.
We are hosting with @Hetzner_Online and the first day we had some hiccups with performance, which we quickly solved.
The team has been providing a lot of feedback and bug reports, so we've had daily updates for them and engagement is high!
The MCP we built was lacking some features and it is the component that has been more difficult to stabilize and manage performance of. So a lot of iteration with GPT5.5 Extra has gone to this.
I use Claude (Teams Premium) and Codex (200/month sub) interchangeably. Both work pretty well for me, although it is true that OpenAI's app is a more polished experience.
With all the feedback I have received, the ambition of what we're building and has grown and I am about to embark on building my first @TauriApps app. Supporting Linux users is my highest priority, as I think they are underserved.
I also need to update my marketing site, which I will be doing next week, when I will be publishing to the world what we have been working on the past weeks.

Germany could do the most epic twitch stream and polymarket bet with the explosion of this whale.
🐋 Whale Timmy could explode during an autopsy
Experts are preparing to examine the remains of the whale, which rescuers spent weeks unsuccessfully trying to save in Germany.
Due to gases that have built up during decomposition, the carcass could literally explode.
To prevent that, specialists will first puncture the body and release the gases. Otherwise, pieces of the whale could be blasted dozens of meters away and injure people.
Meanwhile, people in Germany are demanding an investigation into the rescue effort: some believe too little was done to save Timmy, while others argue too much was done.

I am building my first b2b saas, now that the industry "will die".
It is about time, and taking care of my team's use of it.

I did my first tax return in 🇺🇸 this year. Had to call the IRS to get some support with a letter I got back from them.
@shl my feedback is that I got an automated letter saying I hadn't paid and I had to pay a penalty and interests, but actually the system did have all my payments.
Other than that 10/10 service.

You should just move to BR full time, live like a king. @levelsio
This hotel I'm at in the Netherlands apart from having the AC limited to 23°C/74°F
Also will NOT clean your room by default to save the 🌍 🍃 environment unless you explicitly put this sign outside (we did and they still didn't come to clean ofc)
There's also no amenities at all unless you ask for it to contribute to "a more sustainable future"
Even the coffee machine talks about how it's "a force for good" and "protecting natural ecosystems"
Western Europe is so fucking tiring

Had a medical emergency today. Needed a doctor at the hotel in LA for my wife. 3k usd for coming, giving her some IV hydration and a couple medicine shots.
Dear god, health is definitely a privilege in 🇺🇸.
Stay healthy friends.

Do not end yourself, please. Life is a miracle, the world is an incredible place, things can and will get better.

It sucked incredibly to be laid off after taking days off for an ideation of ending myself
and then the media placed it next to someone in LA being fired for misusing dining credits, leading to more pile-ons
all while I scrambled to get things sorted within a short time frame

I love it when @claudeai tells me that the 4 tests that are failing were not broken by it because it is code it hasn’t touched… bro… 🤣

So the innovation in the AI space should not lead to higher training and inference costs but to costs that trend downwards significantly with time as training gets easier, inference gets cheaper, and nuclear becomes abundant again.

And yes, we currently live in an era of VC funding subsidizing our inference costs, but this will not always be like that. Think about the government subsidies and funding in the aerospace industry for the most part of the 20th century.

So trying to preserve a business with no future might keep your way of life in the short term, but if you REALLY want to build something that matters and lasts, rethinking your entire value propositions might be a good idea.

If you are looking to preserve your business rather as is some AI augmentation instead of transforming your value proposition for a world of infinite intelligence, your ngmi in the next 5-10 years.

History has shown many times that disruptive technologies (like airplanes and rockets) tend to get more efficient with time, not less.
