Chat, what does this mean? Do I unlock a prize or something?

Their marketing strategy:

I'll just get the domain from the email I scraped from your website and tell you there's lots to improve.

Poorly created automations can really such sometimes.

Thanks @marc_louvion for the tip on setting emails up like this.

My car is out on service today. So I’m driving my wife’s car.

EVERY SINGLE TIME!

The dopest number plate I (and probably you too) have ever seen in my lifetime!

Will be tough to look at my boring number plate after this.

To this day, the biggest scam I’ve ever been part of and continue paying into year after year.

I’m simply to scared to stop paying into it even though I get nowhere near live tv.

It’s like the government keeps us hostage by scaring us something bad will happen.

An extremely foolproof (and free) method to detect if content was generated by AI. You're welcome!

I’ll just leave this here 💚

Who remembers?

Squeezed one more sale before the new year! Wishing my #buildinpublic fam an incredible 2025!

I finally discovered the hack to NEVER pay transaction fees again!!!! 🧠

It was right in front of me all along. Who's going to help me succeed?

What are you even doing if you’ve not climbed 125 floors by 2PM?

Have you made your choices today?

Happy Friday, friends! Here’s something to think about!

Warren Buffett just emailed me 🙏!

He believes in "giving while living" and decided to donate me $4.8bn.

Prepare to only see pictures of me #buildinpublic from my couch and shirtless from now on.

Haters will say this is fake.. Proof 👇

This was overnight. Still pretty stoked with the level of engagement here.

I go on X (after a while) and literally the second post I see on my timeline is someone shitting on someone’s work.

Keep being friendly, Blue!

My deep sleep is really inconsistent.

But more importantly, I feel like I need more of it (my average really is about 1h a night).

What are your tips to increase that?

I said this to two different people this week. One of them was surprised.

HR exists to protect the company and not you! Not at all!

This is a reminder for every fool in the #devrel space who tells me “developers don’t want any more swag”.

No, they don’t want your shitty pens or your one-pager flyer.

They want quality stuff they can proudly wear to show their love.

Europe #buildinpublic, it’s that time of day!

What are you building today? Let us know below! 👇

A reminder of the “lifetime” trap (both ways) 🪤:

1. Lifetime is only lifetime as long as the original owner still owns the product.
2. It’s awkward because you’re technically binding yourself to a customer who gave you $29 forever. Who is (and feels) entitled to perpetual support.

This is wild!

So good creating content people actually see again!
