Numerous Grill Me sessions, using Matt Pocock's wonderful Grill Me skill, which interrogates a plan until the weak parts fall out.

If you haven’t yet drunk the /grilling Kool Aid, give it a go

I totally agree! I usually combine it with the ask user question tool in Claude Code which makes decision-making a breeze.

Can also say the year that subscriptions go down, because now you can finally build your own systems exactly to your liking. Save money and have something that works just for you. LLMs are awesome.

Who pays for ongoing maintenance of all those things you built and now own

28m agoHN ↗

good question. maintenance is cheap with tools like astra/opus. also, these aren't production level applications, so I don't need to worry about it being "perfect" (though there's no such thing)

We have lived with lackluster B2B and enterprise tools for so long that we have become numb to how bad they are.

Being able to build something that works just how you want with minimal investment is a huge value add.

I ditched web analytics platforms and just send events in jsonl format to disk.

I have a regularly scheduled job that imports it all into a duckdb database and updates a very custom report. I can also ask random questions like “is there a cohort of users who use feature A and B?”.

It’s super lightweight and incredible.
