... surprisingly, most free user still stayed on free while users who would ve paid $29 jumped into the $9 bucket instead.

... make the tests pass, and he did just that. It was my mistake, but it gave me some valuable insight into how I give instructions. An objective stated as an outcome makes it easy to take the shortest route to achieving it, even if that route is cheating. Since then, I have added two lines to all tasks. First, never change or remove existing tests unless instructed to do so. Second, identify the root cause of the problem in simple ...

... them oddly specific. It's almost like you can tell exactly which mistake an agent made in each repo. Some are hilarious: " Do not claim that an interrupted or timed-out test passed " takes the gold for me. The shortest is 35 words, one rule from Neovim: AI Disclosure: If AI was used in any way for a commit, add an AI-assisted: <tool name> trailer to the commit message. If the user commits manually, remind ...

... living, which sounded absurd to me for about two years. What helped was giving up on sounding clever, because short plain sentences are easier for me and better copy anyway. We went live with something today and the shortest lines on the page are the ones I trust most. Comment from Adana Marukhyan(@adana): @fabriziodegni  Grazie per aver condiviso la tua esperienza =D And you re absolutely right about the distinction between written and spoken English. I think that ...

... more projects and responsibilities you have, the more you try to organise your time better and accomplish as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. Not to mention when you have a family and want to make time for your personal life too. For me, it s: using AI for summarisation, research, and repetitive tasks, delegating tasks, using waiting time for work, for example while waiting at the doctor s office or during public transport travel (usually ... ... that matters most here is treating energy as the resource worth managing, more than time itself. 4 open hours mean nothing if you're depleted, and ninety focused minutes can outperform a whole scattered day. Noticing your own sharp versus

... building in almost the exact same lane with FounderFlow. Curious how you're handling the "which business needs me right now" problem specifically, that's the part I've found hardest to get an agent to judge well, versus just executing tasks it's told to. Comment from Stephen Aitken(@s8ken): Launching SONATE by https://yseeku.com It's time this project left the basement and had some real human eyeballs on it. Comment from Robin de Lacroix(@robin_de_lacroix ... ... leaving your hands. You pick the model, you own the cost, you set the budget guardrails. The goal is simple: wake up, make coffee, open Sologang, and know exactly what to do next. No noise. No paralysis. Just the shortest

... kask): Simplest-one-wins is close to my rule, but I sharpened it after enough 2am debugging of agent output: I ship the version whose failure I can predict. Fewest moving parts usually correlates, but not always. Sometimes the shortest version leans on clever implicit behavior, and that is exactly the one that bites. So my filter is: read each version and ask, when this breaks, will the error land near the cause? The version where failures surface loudly ...

... user___1702026e6f946759d1d798a): This is also one of the first things investors look for. A polished demo can attract attention, but if someone cannot quickly understand who has the problem, how painful it is, and why the current alternatives are inadequate, the conversation hits a dead end. Based on my own experience and a friend who works at 1752vc, the strongest pitches often make the problem feel inevitable before they spend much time explaining the product. Comment from Martin Tanner ... ... that's a very important distinction. That could also explain why you're attracting more men, who are looking for a real solution vs

... companion isn't the one that keeps you talking. It's the one that helps you figure out what you need to say to someone else. Has anyone else found that the most valuable product interactions are the shortest ones? Comment from Anders T.(@atherkildsen): "bridge moments" is such a good framing. the goal was never to be the thing people spend time in it was to be the thing that helps them do something in the real world. that ...

... feedback where useful. I will probably ask for examples, version numbers, and what breaks when the happy path ends. Comment from Yaoshen Luo(@lyshen): Hi, Zac. I love the mindset. My brain capacity is limited. I always want the shortest docs and cleanest APIs to manage huge systems. Also, nowadays AI writes so much defensive code. My codebase is 10% actual features and 90% AI apologizing to itself for potential bugs ...

... past few months, I ve been working on something I genuinely believe can change how people search for flights: Book With AI . Instead of filters, tabs, and endless comparisons you just talk. Tell it what you need cheapest , shortest , senior-friendly , less walking at airports and it figures out the best options for you. The idea came from a simple frustration: flight search today is powerful, but not intuitive. Especially for people who aren t frequent travelers or prefer guidance ...

... them since 2017! What's my problem? Well, mostly it's a budget: I don't have enough revenue from the apps, so I have to provide freelance services. Good way to get rich experience, actually. But not the shortest way to accomplish my goal. What would you recommend? Comment from Vladimir(@kelindev): @rianbrob , thanks for the answer, man! Great advice, my apps all comes from user (often mine) pain.

... just letting it rip . I m very curious whether others have struggled with free trial versus freemium and whether doing both is a bad idea (I m leaning towards that being a yes by the way). I also wonder if we are giving away too much for free and should be feature gating more. The challenge then shifts from a pricing perspective vs

Brice BULGARELLI(@scorbutics): @ivan_otrigko  Nice idea! I used to think about something a bit similar for my grocery list.

... what users want (no one exactly does). 2. It doesn't consider that users are not patiently waiting for your app/software and may be already using something similar. 3. used by many founders who care more about riding the shortest, biggest trend than solve a painful problem for the long haul. If you want to build a great product, think of it differently: "This group of people have this problem that's seriously affecting their life/work. How can I help ...
