@websummit.bsky.social why is it so difficult to partner with you?
I've been trying since November to reserve a large booth for the next summit in Lisbon.
After a month with no response, I was told 2026 was fully booked, so I agreed to discuss options for 2027.
Another month has gone by.

I'm aiming to launch the MVP on March 31st 📌
After this date, early access will be available only if an existing user invites you.
Just like I've done for @publer.com and @linkie.bio in the past, early adopters of @kibo.ai will be offered a lifetime deal for its future paid plans.

A missing AWS permission was preventing the load balancer from updating the target group with the new pod IPs.
There are still a few kinks to iron out and a lot to learn, but what a time to build!
If you're still on the lookout for a unified inbox, sign up for early access at kibo.ai

Not knowing anything about Kubernetes and not parting ways with the previous developer on good terms, I realized this was just the tip of the iceberg.
But a few prompts on Claude recently helped me identify the culprit and better understand how Kubernetes works.

I was convinced I could launch Kibo's MVP during the holiday season of 2021 and again in 2022.
After failing to even figure out why the site would break after each deployment, I gave up, twice.

My mother was an elementary school teacher.
My father spent his life in the military and kept working after retirement to make ends meet.
Both my brother and I became successful entrepreneurs.
Him in travel & tourism, me in SaaS.
Passing that same hunger to our kids will be the hardest part.

Efficiency routine hack:
If you have a few mins to spare, don't think about how to kill time.
Think of what you can get done in those minutes.
It can be as simple as replying to an email.
Works the same when you're heading somewhere.
Think of errands you can knock out on the way.

P.S. Article 33 GDPR is about data breaches, not missing DPAs.
The fine is up to 4%, not 10%, and only after investigation.
But I didn't feel like arguing when we were in the wrong, too.

I don't need to, but when knowledge nowadays is just a prompt away, it's a shame not to.

In 2022, I offered two people key roles at Publer
- Head of Product
- Head of Development
Both roles were highly paid and included an option to buy 3% equity after 3 years, priced at the valuation at the time.
That 3% was valued at $75K in 2022.
It's now worth $500K.
Take chances, people!
