Talking to Hermes across multiple devices makes me think of the TV show Pluribus -- one mind, many bodies. It's kinda scary tbh lol.

Good to see old faces (or tweeps) posting here again. Either they’ve finally cleaned up the mess, or the good people just came back.

AI Models Talk... Soon, AI won’t be about who’s smartest, but about which one feels like your best friend. grains.leifjerami.com/post/a…

New MVP… my first in a decade, sort of. Feels like the first thing in a long while that actually deserves the word “product”, not just another project. grains.leifjerami.com/post/n…

From AI PTSD to Happyness - I was deep in an AI SaaS in 2023 with an awesome team, but the pace and a big move overwhelmed me. So I left and took a long break. grains.leifjerami.com/post/f…

Is it just me, or is everyone acting like Anthropic’s PR lately? “Claude Code this, Claude Code that,” and barely any talk about their own products.🤷🏼‍

Tweeps, what’s the best conversational AI model for chat (no coding) right now?

Watching Pluribus right now. It really reminds me of the AI we use every day.

I've read 8,000 Y Combinator applications. You would think the reviewers are thinking through a standard set of questions. Is it a good idea? Is it a large market? Is it an experienced team? Do they have traction? During my time as a reviewer, we went back and tested which questions actually predicted success. The process was look at the best performing companies and then ask whether the application question would disqualify any of the biggest outcomes. If so, eliminate that question. Is it a good idea? Well, Airbnb was a bad idea. Air bed and breakfast. Nobody thought it would work. Is it a large market? Airbnb, Coinbase, Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia all started in tiny markets. Experienced team? John and Patrick Collison had no experience in fintech when they built Stripe. Brian Chesky had never built a company. Brian Armstrong was just a product manager. Do they have traction? We learned to invest in slope, not Y intercept. The initial traction doesn't tell you anything about the angle of ascent. Sooooooooooooo...none of these standard questions worked. The best question that predicted success was determination. Who is the most determined? Even if they're not the smartest. Even if the market hasn't developed yet. Even if their initial product is wrong. It outpeformed by a mile. And didn't disqualify the winners. AND was evaluatable. It was so predictive that YC took that one question and found five different ways to ask it.

LinkedIn is my highest-performing channel. Not Twitter. Not Product Hunt. Not paid ads. LinkedIn. Most profitable. Most consistent. Most scalable. If you're building B2B SaaS and ignoring it, you're leaving money on the table.

Funny how things turned out. I was deep in an AI SaaS (2023), awesome team, but the pace & the big move overwhelmed me. So I left & took a long break. Fast forward to now: I quietly build small, useful AI apps for people - nothing flashy, and I’m happier than before.

Republic Day tomorrow, public holiday today. Driving up to Burabay in a rental. First time left-hand side driving here. Mountains, lakes, ~300 km from Astana. No work, no laptop for 1–2 days. One night booked, maybe two. The chonky cat’s on guard. Wish him luck!🐈

Been meaning to spend more time on LinkedIn, but always feels like a heavy lift. This looks slick, Anton. Nice launch!

No, it's not a typo. I just like pottery. Roses are red, violets are blue, I asked AI to finish this poem, It kept explaining it, and wrote a TODO.

A repost: "Just Lucky?" So, I stumbled across this Twitter post about someone getting flak on HN for their success. They said the person is just lucky. Then, a YouTuber I follow drops a video called "Make Your Own Luck". Talk about timing, right? grains.leifjerami.com/post/j…

Just realized that September 2025 marks two years since my first serious dive into AI by joining an AI SaaS. I left not long after, lol, but that was the starting point. Time flies.

We’re hiring a growth hacker at Whisperit 🚀 Marketing, sales, and pure hacking mindset. We’re growing fast and need someone who knows how to move quick, test, build loops, drive traffic, and get users in. You’re independent, clever, and you’ve done it before. Remote-first, same time zone as Europe. Bonus if you speak French. We’re building something big in legal AI. DM me with a short video and show me what you’ve built, what worked, what didn’t.
