You have yet to do your greatest work. Built and sold @progressionhq, now tinkering.

So here’s my ask: if this sounds interesting, please do validate my decision to launch so quickly by placing a Christmas coffee order! (You can also buy gift cards). Get it in by tomorrow night and I’ll guarantee pre Christmas delivery. To order go to buzzcutcoffee(dot)com

The real work starts next year as I find out what the market’s like for this. But in the mean time I’d love to sling some beans this week.

Well. 40kg of roasted beans arrived today, and I think what we’ve put together is pretty special. Smooth, chocolatey medium roast that goes like anything in our home espresso machine, tastes like the real deal but isn’t punishing me despite an extensive tasting this morning.

Tuesday: picked a theme for the website. Designed packaging and sent to print. Wednesday: Tested website, set up subscriptions Today: Coffee, packaging and other printed stuff arrived. Tasted (a lot), took (bad) pictures, asked Nano Banana for better ones. Website live.

Here’s how it went. Weekend: started working on brand, look and feel. Worked with supplier on coffee. Monday: Confirmed coffee order, signed up for Shopify, settled on name and brand (not perfect but time wasn’t on my side)

The only problem was I had no name, no website, no brand, no packaging. No clue. Cue a monster sprint to pull together a coffee subscription business in 6 days to beat Christmas delivery.

Until last week, when I emailed probably my 10th coffee roaster, asking whether they would help. They said yes! And what’s more, with a quick enough turnaround time to be able to make Christmas delivery.

But the mixing bowl technique wasn't going to work long term, and as I mentioned this to others I'd hear their stories of similar hacks. So began a journey of developing my own blend. A couple of months of very stop start - and ultimately no - progress.

A few months ago I started mixing half caff and half decaf. In a big bowl. It worked! And for a while (until I fessed up) my wife didn't even notice I'd swapped the beans in the coffee machine.

But after the third cup things start getting weird, and if I have a coffee past about 2pm it affects my sleep. So I got to thinking, what if I could get a premium coffee hit without the full whack of caffeine?

I just launched a half caff coffee brand in under a week. Why? I like to have 4-5 cups of coffee a day. I like the ritual, and I don't like having to switch to tea.

I hate not being able to play a role in how my code works, and anything I create on full agent mode feels soulless, even if it works.

I’ve tried a variety of methods with recent projects all the way to full agent mode - the most successful by far (though felt slower at the time) was when I did something akin to this.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I prefer this "tutorial doc + build-it-yourself" coding workflow to the typical "ugh" feeling of reviewing huge agent PRs. You can try it right now and see for yourself: 1) Instead of having Claude Code make a PR, ask it to output a Markdown

But let's be honest, when Atlas is at feature parity with the hot young things of the browser world, (which seeing how fast they ship, will probably be next week), can anything stop it? Anyway, I wrote more about it here

Notes on chatGPT Atlas one day in

First thoughts on Atlas, the chatGPT browser. This really blurs the lines between web browsing and chatting, with shared conversation history across both. Makes me feel a bit funny — right now I'd rather a separation of church and state.
