We're live! Please show some love for my @ProductHunt launch! I was meant to do this a while back but the perfectionist in me held off. If you could take out the time to vote, comment, and share I would really appreciate it! You can find the link in the comments below.
It looks like I'm launching on Product Hunt Friday. 😅

Had an absolutely incredible day with the kids! Just put them to bed. But still had my agents work on six promotional videos in the background from two simple prompts on my phone remoting into my laptop. What a time to be alive!

Android subscriptions picking up, which is cool. Seven new trials so far today, and Friday is a slow day. Ignore indiehackers who say don't launch on Android. They just don't want you to win.

As a founder in the UK, the issue is, low ambition has plagued us for a long time - amongst VCs, and the general tech ecosystem. There are outliers, sure, and we celebrate them, but they usually lean heavily on US connections, VCs, etc... The recent stripe numbers only solidify the fact that we're much further behind than we like to believe. And when we're publishing stuff like this, no wonder... It's no different from the CTO role in the government that pays the equivalent of like $50k. And they ask me why I bootstrap 😭
the uk government's official ai guidance tells civil servants to use gemini flash instead of pro, keep prompts short, and not say thank you to it, for the environment i do wonder at which point we forked the road. instead of building and using it to automate the work, we write guidance on how to use less of it we have the attitude of a high school prefect. caring more about the rules than actually doing the work

When you're not making anything, the level of hunger and the willingness to do what others won't do is crazy. The moment you start making enough survive or be moderately comfortable, the biggest battle is fighting to keep that hunger alive.

Today I saw somebody I'm not raising funds and they made me feel like I was going crazy. To those in the VC game bootstrapping just doesn't make sense. And to those bootstrapping VC feels so unnecessary. 😅

This took 1% of my weekly usage - if that! Opus 5.5 means there's no excuse for not making better promotion videos these days. 🥳

It's crazy how well all of this data captures the UK.
Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: eudata.vercel.app. We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at stripeeconomics.substack.com.

Interesting, just received a personalised prompt injection to my company's email, with the injection embedded urls. I guess they expected agents to pick it up - assuming they had access to my email. What a time to be alive. What does one even do to combat this?

Ok, Opus 5.5 on high is the best workhorse I've used
Hacks to save tokens and usage... Stick to Fable 5.1 😭

More and more users, less and less churn, good sign that things are heading in the right direction 🫡

The biggest issue with GPT 6 Sol is that it seems to give up on long tasks prematurely. For any given effort level, it's a lot less diligent than it used to be.

Try these in your first Opus 5.5 session: → Hand over a whole task. Define "done" and when to check in. → Drop "think carefully". It always thinks first. → After a long run, check what it needs to go further. Our playbook: claude.dev/blog/getting-the-…

Replying to @claudeai
Opus 5.5 is a major step up from Opus 5, leading on agentic coding, computer use, and knowledge work.

Anthropic dropped a banked reset before OpenAI. What are the odds?
Replying to @claudeai
One more thing: we’re increasing five-hour usage limits on Pro, Max, and Team plans. We’re also providing subscription users a rate limit reset, which you can save and use whenever you choose.

To be clear, nobody actually knows you're solo unless you say, "I'm working solo". In this day and age, you can function like a well-oiled machine and a fully stacked team, just by leveraging AI, well. Identifying as an Indie hacker is cool for X but it's a limiting mindset.
You'll stagnate early if you keep thinking like an "Indie hacker".

SEO is the long game, but man it works wonders. This is one of the biggest reasons why Yaps.ai consistently keeps growing. It's simply established itself on Google.
