After years of working with email deliverability, I built ClearBounce an email verification platform because I kept seeing the same painful pattern over and over.
Here's what most people don't realize about their email lists:
1. Your list is decaying right now
Email addresses go bad at a rate of 2-3% per month. People change jobs, abandon inboxes, and providers shut down accounts. That "verified" list from 6 months ago? A good chunk of it is now dead weight dragging down your reputation.
Palantir sits at an interesting intersection. It's a software company that grew revenue 56.2% year over year, flipped to serious profitability, and has zero debt. The kind of fundamentals that make founders pay attention because the business mechanics are genuinely interesting to study, regardless of whether you're investing.
The debate around it is also highly relevant to the founders. How much should a high-growth software company be worth relative to its current cash generation? How do you price in a strong narrative and government contract moat? These are questions that apply to how founders think about their own businesses, too.
I have ADHD. Give me a clear starting point and I'll execute all day. But figuring out what to prioritise, how to break a big goal into small ones, where to actually begin? That's where I'd spiral. I'd spend hours building the perfect plan. Then one unexpected change. A meeting moves, a deadline shifts, life happens. And the whole thing collapses.
I thought that was a me problem, but it turns out, most of the people I have talked to share a similar story.

As a developer, I realized how much time gets wasted switching between different websites just to perform small tasks like formatting JSON or converting data formats.
So I built DevUtilityLab an all-in-one platform with fast, lightweight tools that work instantly. No unnecessary UI, no friction, just simple utilities designed to help developers move faster.
My goal is to keep expanding it into a reliable go-to hub where developers can find every small but essential tool in one place.
