When is your power phase in the day? I thought mine is in the evening But I always break my records mornings

1. Posted about my failed marriage 2. Manosphere dudes bitched about it 3. Andrew Tate replied 4. Profit Life is full of quirks 🤷‍♂️

Am I the only one constantly hitting space instead of these letters?

No matter what problem you have in life Gym is always the solution

These guys went into a niche Did 1 year of customers job And only then started to build Thats how to do product! But who has the patience?

I launched @backl_io 2 years ago I just crossed 1000 customers $80K revenue in total My little story: I didn't intend to make this a full product. The product was meant as a guide for founders for whom backlink outreach was too hard. Still: I researched for 2 months in my free time how to build the most impactful backlinks. First I wanted to give it for free but then I thought I might just launch it as a standalone product and see if it makes some money. On launch day I made $3.5K - after one month $18K ! I had one problem though: made a promise: If you build all the backlinks, your domain rank DR will rise over 20, if not, you can get your money back. Problem was that I had no idea if this worked. I just built the backlinks myself and didn't know the effect yet. I was lucky though. One backlink was so powerful I got >40 DR with my domain. I even underpromised. There was no wave of churners. 😅 I soon ran into limitations: I couldn't ship updates and didn't see which backlinks people applied, heck if they even used the product after they bought it. So I started building a web app which solves these issues. At the same time I was building a research engine which allows me to find other backlinks with high DR impact. The research engine turned into a monster. I could now investigate thousand of domains but building and operating it took a lot of effort and time. I took too much on myself so February 2025 I ran into a burnout. For months I couldn't work on my product, even thinking about it triggered depressing thoughts. The product I once loved I now loathed. 10 months later I realized that enjoyment came back. I wanted to continue building. Especially since every week I got sales for my notion product. I started to tie the loose ends and over xmas I got 3 weeks to build. I wrapped it all up and launched V2 of my app. Silently. I didn't have the energy to do a big launch. Now 5 months later I passed 150 customers on my V2 product. The good thing? I get a lot of feedback. I see which backlinks they build, what is still unclear. I got into a loop where I can constantly improve my product. I saw that people were overwhelmed with building 60 backlinks -> I built daily emails I saw that it was not clear what impact a backlink has on your DR -> I built a DR impact simulator. Some backlinks were hard to build -> I built a backlink checker which verifies that you made everything correctly I can only build 1-2 hours a week on it, but as long as I see that my customers are happy and I see my product is improving I will continue!

Best way to get rid of grief Is to allow it Great reply to my "my marriage broke after 22y" post.

My wife left me after 22 years of marriage. While I cannot write how this came to be (as with all separations it's complicated), two things I wanna share: Prioritize family & friends over business: even though I probably couldn't save my marriage I wished I would have spent more time with my wife. It sounds cringe but money can't buy friendship, that's what I'm realizing the past months. Pain is hard: There's nothing which could have prepared me for this, and there's also no quick fix to get out of the pain. In fact every quick fix makes it worse. I guess it needs time. Lament & distraction. It helps to be with friends but then also alone on the balcony staring into the night. And please: no pity-replies. I'm not fishing for "poor Phil" comments. Not even sure why I'm writing this, it just somehow needs to get out.

My latest promotion: Salary increase: 7% Work time increase: 20% Money wise not a good decision 🤷

1 month ago: Claude happily helps me build my first OpenClaw agent Today:

8 personal gym records on Monday morning. The week is starting good!

Openclaw hype train has passed Only the true builders stayed Much better now

20 years ago as engineer I got Jiras with: »This page is broken« I always got angry: »Can't you specify what's broken?« Now I tell Claude: »This page is broken« After it defaced a working feature I'll tell it »You stupid, can't you see what's broken?« The tables have turned

I'm tired of OpenClaw Every 2-3 days I have a major moment which I show to my friends: "look what AI agents can do", but then the other 90% is pure frustration and me cursing at my own AI agent for which I spent hours choosing a beautiful name and profile picture. I was fun at start: I added telegram, added voice input, then adding skills even with just voice prompting was a bliss. Then dementia hit. Facts from 48 hours ago were forgotten. I installed a 3 level memory system. It felt like a huge hack, it barely works, I encounter bugs every day which I'm fixing. Then it breaks with every update. Not all of it, but little things. The WhatsApp integration is just insanity. After putting in every markdown file that it shouldn't reply to my friends (IN CAPITAL LETTERS) it happily started to chat with my wife and my goddaughter. And from today even claude subscription stops working. I feel like a failure! I see all the success stories left and right, YT vids and blog posts "I got it to work and here's what the AI agent does for me", and for me I'm still spending 5x the time fixing my agent than just doing the stuff by hand 🤷

I just audited a local SEO site that went from 100k/month to 200 visits (-99%) They thought they were "shadowbanned" They weren't. Here's what actually happened: For 3 years they pumped out blog posts, easy keywords, no competition. It worked. 100k monthly visitors. But they never built a single backlink to any of those pages. Then the Helpful Content Update hit. AI Overviews rolled out. Reddit and Facebook started ranking for every informational query. Their traffic vanished overnight. Meanwhile, their biggest competitor still ranks for the exact same keywords. The difference? 3-5 backlinks per blog post. That's it. The real kicker: they had 1.5 people full-time doing SEO and didn't know what to do for 6 months. The lesson isn't "content is dead." It's that content without backlinks is rented space. Google gave it to you for free, and Google took it back. The companies still winning are the ones who built links while the content was ranking, not after it stopped.

Me: Let me connect my female OpenClaw agent to WhatsApp 12h later: my agent starts chatting with my wife 🙃 Anyone has solved the "don't wildly chat with my whatsapp friends" on OpenClaw?

how "fix on laptop, test on prod" looks like

What AI subscriptions have you vibecoding? For OpenClaw I use anthropic without sub. $20/d -> per month $600. I'm sidebuilding so claude max $200/m is too much Should I go Qwen or Gemini?
