Don’t solve problems that don’t exist.

We procrastinate.Not because we’re lazy or undisciplined, but because the next step is unclear, and our brains avoid discomfort.

Cost of building an MVP (with AI)

In last week’s post, I explained why I took time off from Duolingo to build Lazyweb.com. This one is about the less romantic part: what it actually cost to get the MVP live with just me and a bunch of AIs.

Top 100 apps: State of AI

Hello Friends 👋🏾, Yesterday Slack announced the launch of Slack AI, almost 5 months since they first announced on September 6, 2023. That got me curious as to what the current state of AI is. On one hand, from the news, it seems like AI is everywhere. On the other hand, in my day-to-day experience, I don’t seem to have as many meaningful interactions with AI in products I use and love regularly.
