I'm Ion, turning 42 years old in just 5 days, and I've decided this is the year I stop just dreaming and start building. I'm a dad of two amazing kids, always full of ideas sometimes too many but I've finally learned that the real magic happens when you actually share them with the world!
So I'm launching on March 1, a fun browser game, perfect for competitive friends, family game nights, or anyone who loves head-to-head challenges.
A 2-player or 3-player game on the same device that brings people closer.
I m here to learn, support other makers, and meet good people.
TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.
Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.
Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.
Being consistent with content is harder than building features. Here me out. Shipping a feature feels productive. There s momentum. There s code. There s progress you can measure.
Content? You show up. You write. You post. And most days, nothing happens.
No clear feedback loop. No passing test case. No deploy notification saying success. Just impressions. Maybe.
Building product rewards logic. Content rewards patience.
I joined today and have not much value to add but will just say that the product UX of PH and discourse here seems so much more pleasant than other places.
When I first started, I believed that as long as I built a great product, it would naturally become popular. But as I zoomed out, I realized the market is incredibly competitive. Having a good product alone isn t enough to truly convince users.
That s when I began building my presence on social media creating content about myself, sharing my journey, and talking about the product I m building. I ve come to see this as a very effective way to build trust and spark genuine interest not only in what I make, but also in who I am as a founder.
