These copilots by vertical are super interesting

Cool milestone: the free app I built to keep https://t.co/Bl9g0NaSqz free instances alive has cross 100 active users! Pretty cool that a small engineering-as-marketing thing I built gets new users every day! https://t.co/YwewB6zURK

Great article from HN the other day around UUIDs as primary keys. Keep those indexes squeaky-clean by having monotonically increasing values! https://t.co/NV71s9tPFz

A few weeks ago, @JudoHacker challenged me to do more brainstorming to get my juices flowing. Every day, I try to generate 10 ideas (b2b or b2c) in a time box. The ones I came up with today were some of the funniest/more interesting I've come up with so far

David Attenborough is now narrating my life Here's a GPT-4-vision + @elevenlabsio python script so you can star in your own Planet Earth:

You heard it here first! I mention it at the end of the ep, but if you start from episode 1 to today, you get the birth and sale of powerimporter. Kinda cool!
