    Just curious, in the US this could be considered suboptimal in terms of cholesterol (cheese, fatty meat, or 9 eggs every single day). Note that I haven't eaten butter for decades, and according to blood tests, my vitamins are digested all right. Also, 130g of protein assumes seriously training...

    Has AI killed the software business dream?

    I am not questioning if it can or cannot. My point was, if it can, go ahead and make your own game, and show it to us.

    Has AI killed the software business dream?

    - AI - 
    Can you really create a good game engine in a day using AI? Something at least as good as SimCity 1 or WarCraft 2? Send us a link to play then. Can you really trivially reproduce a good SAAS, say, for organizing sales calls? Why don't you do so and sell it, if it's so trivial. If you don't...

    There is no big debate on proteins. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, and chicken is broken the same way as peanut butter or lab-grown chicken meat, or tofu, or protein powder. Some proteins may lack some amino acids, but that aside, there is no fundamental difference, and human...

    Consider doing a blood test. with a full panel of vitamins etc. to check for deficiencies. If your diet is really so bad, you will see it. Otherwise you can start by eating a variety of foods -- some carbs such as pasta or potatoes or rice, some vegetables, some nuts or seeds, some dairy such...

    Is human-verified business research still worth paying for when ChatGPT exists?

    IDEA 
    If the person truly has no domain expertise, AI can do it too. Don't just run Chat GPT in the browser but install an IDE such as Cursor, then let AI make a report in markdown format, then let it take a checklist from another file and verify step by step and document it in another markdown file...

    How many customers did you get before moving to the building phase of your SaaS?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    Curiously, it always seems to happen with software, as demand for most physical things we can imagine has been validated, if the price is right. Nontechnical founders of tech startups trivialize the building part but tend to build something with a modicum of demand. Technical founders are the...

    The Anthropic Researcher Who Quit Over AI Fears Isn’t the Only One Sounding Alarm Bells: ‘Things Could Be Out of Control Next Year’

    NEWS 
    There are several schools of thought: 1. "If anyone builds it, everyone dies", an engaging book by E. Yodkowsky and N. Soares about AI wiping out humanity. 2. "The economic singularity" by Calum Chace about AI ending the need to work and the social consequences of mass unemployment. 3. "AI...

    I think I’ve created a three-legged elephant—or maybe I’m just not persevering enough with marketing?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    As a developer, if I want to block something, I use the hosts file because then it blocks it across all browsers, and there is no subscription to maintain. Furthermore, as a developer, I know that every intrusive app is a security risk, so if I am installing an extension that knows what I am...

    How many customers did you get before moving to the building phase of your SaaS?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    Once I made the mistake of not calculating the costs correctly when I observed an ostensible need for another SAAS. If the customer wants it, it does not mean they want the bare minimum MVP; they may well want all the features the competitors already provide plus some extra. Even with 100...

    Got Success Anxiety? This Will Help

    MINDSET 
    Acceptance is only a partial solution. If you read Nassim Taleb, intrusive thoughts are 'antifragile'. Anything you do about them makes them stronger. Even trying to let go of them by staring at them, because when you wish something away, you are not really accepting it. In my experience, the...

    Has any of you built a SaaS successfully when you were not familiar at all with the market before starting?

    QUESTION 
    Math mistake alert: from the information provided it cannot be determined whether starting a business in a familiar area is easier or harder. The fact that 3-5% < 70% is irrelevant. How many people have actually tried to start a business in the area they knew nothing about? Say, 700 tried in...

    Do you want to be a Billionaire?

    MINDSET 
    For an inspiration, read "Dirtbag Billionaire." Yvon Chuinard, the founder of the Patagonia brand, started from zero and gave away his fortune to no-one -- by essentially changing the company into a non-profit whose profits will go towards saving the planet. This is not even counting all the...

    Gen Z Says This Is the Main Reason They Don’t Date: ‘Feels So Unattainable’

    NEWS 
    Do you want an answer? Many attractive or even slightly cute girls have been approached thousands of times, at all kinds of times, including when they were studying, working, late for a bus, hanging out with their boyfriend, on a phone call, caring for a sick child, you name it. And you...
