2024: AI made me 20% more productive.

2025: New keyboard made me 75% less productive.

Upgraded my setup to a kb with 42 keys and now I’m struggling hard! 🫡

Heard about encore.dev for the first time today.

Now I’m fighting the urge to rebuild my API. 🫣

Advanced voice with real time video is cool and all.

But why is nobody talking about the Santa voices?!

Just spent three minutes debugging why pz-4 didn't add any padding to my element.

1. I think padding on the z-axis is a really novel idea. I will propose an addition to the CSS standards.
2. I think it's time for a break

Started a new side project a few weeks ago. I figured that I might as well use NextJS 15 with React 19. Because future etc

Oh, have I regretted that decision many times since!

For example, shadcn components are not type compatible with new React. Easy enough to fix. But still.

Building a SaaS for salespeople is hard!

But there’s one great thing. I get 30+ inbound messages per week in my inbox from our ICP!

They try to sell me something. I do the old switcharoo and pitch Vaam to them instead.

Signed a €2k deal this week that started like this. 🤩

If you're setting up Typescript alias paths — use ~ as the leading character instead of "@."

1. It makes differentiating between local, aliased packages and external packages easier
2. You get better grouping If you're auto-sorting imports
3. You avoid potential conflicts with external packages

Here are two things you should do to use Cursor without pulling your hair out:

1. Commit every time you've made a change. This helps to avoid Cursor messing up in other files.
2. Be manic about single responsibility. Cursor performs much better when editing a tiny, single-use file.

For all you busy entrepreneurs; here's a picture of everything you need to get a great workout.

1. Find a spot where you can lie down.
2. Set a timer for 20 minutes.
3. Do as many navy burpees as possible before the timer rings.

You’ll be surprised at how hard it is, and at how many you can do!

I just ordered a Bambu A1 Mini 3D printer. Black Friday did its thing again this year.

Followers but no engagement on 🦋? It's because the algorithm doesn’t show your posts yet.

To fix:
1. Follow 50+ people in your industry
2. Spend 20min/day writing quality replies

When people like your replies → the algo learns they like your content → they start seeing your posts → you grow 📈

I'm feeling the mono repo pain today 🤕

An NPM package forced me to update the TS module resolution in one of the primitive packages.

It ended up cascading through the whole repo with bullshit changes in a gazillion files.

Cursor is unbearably slow today.

I feel like a carpenter who has to tighten every screw by hand.

There has to be more Swedish founders around?

Want to add some flair to your Bsky profile?

I made an indie hacker labeler that lets you add labels to show what you are made of. ⭐

Project status, MRR, financing, etc. All the badges are there. Just pick which you want and enjoy the clout!

New Cursor version this morning 👀

It looks like they took some inspiration from Windsurfer! ⭐

Marketing Monday!

We’ve been doing Meta ads for a while now. Feels like we’re getting the hang of it.

Today we aim to publish our first ad on YouTube!

😂 this is pure gold!

And I learned some new profanities!
Ever wanted to know the amount of profanity flowing through Bluesky at any one moment? Me neither, but I still ended up making this: SwearSky, a flow of foul language uttered by Bluesky users.
⚠️ NSFW ⚠️ as it literally yells swear words at you.
