Is it me, or does ChatGPT recently seemed like pushing for never ending conversations and sounded almost a little click-baity?
Just spent 2 hours debugging with Composer 1. It wrote a bunch of custom JS handlers to fix a bug.
When I asked why we needed the JS, it told me it was to compensate for the Preline CSS import I deleted 2 hours ago.
I need a drink. 🤦♂️
At 2am, a client informed me they are postponing their project kickoff due to internal rescheduling. As a bootstrapper, this means I need to stretch my current resources.
Q4 is ending soon. It’s been a tough year.
Oh well, keep moving forward.
#solopreneur
And Saturdays. Basically showing up 7 days a week.
Straight to the point dashboard from Flow for solopreneurs and small agencies. Dashboards need not be flashy and filled with insights of everything. It needs just the right amount of information to get work done.
Spent half a day rethinking Flow's dashboard. Turns out removing 80% gets you working 2x faster. Declutter to move faster.
#soloprepreneur #smallbusiness #uiux
A little reflection/reminder: “When you build solo, you often question if your ideas matter. Many times, I tried to seek self-validation. I’ve learned they do, especially when they come from real frustrations. Flow started with mine.”
Payday had moved on, but not in the sense that I'm dropping it completely. I'm pivoting Payday as part of Flow.
Takeaway: A USP that relies on general info/real-time data to create its value proposition requires a lot of convincing messaging. It's a long haul game. Know when to pivot if you have to
Building Flow: my goal isn’t to replace ClickUp, Asana, or the likes. It’s to help #solopreneur and small teams feel in control again.
Invoicing app is dime a dozen out there. Getting past the first impression that it’s just another invoicing app takes various messaging techniques. It’s common that one judges from first impression
Last year I built Payday, an invoicing app. Learned a hard lesson on marketing the product differentiation. This year I’m building Flow, a #productivity app designed for #solopreneur and small teams who want calm, to be in control, and not to be controlled by tools.
#ChatGPTAtlas first 20min impression
- It's fast, Chromium fast
- I miss Apple Passkey in Safari
- Asked agent mode to book a room on Agoda with permission to use Agoda with my logged in account. But nothing happened in the end.
I wonder what did I miss. Try again tomorrow. It's 3am & I'm excited!
As they said, if you tell a lie enough times, it eventually becomes the truth

Some founders build solo. Some stare at an idea for months, stuck.
I’ve been both.
Learned through experience, to build fast means to scope it tight — only what matters for validation or revenue generating
I “watch” tonnes of movies while I work. There’s something about having the movie as the background noise.
Good thing about this is, I don’t remember half of the movie I had “watched”, and I can always watch them again — in the background. And every time, there’s something new about it
The tools change. The essence remains: creation, clarity, contribution.
#FutureOfWork
Looking ahead: The coder’s role is transforming — less about typing, more about thinking clearly and asking the right questions.
#FutureOfWork #TechCareer
Years 20+: AI enters the room. Software almost builds itself. You’re guiding, not grinding.
#AIInTech #AIDevelopment
Years 16–20: Coding becomes less about speed, more about clarity. Your value shifts to decisions, not keystrokes.
#DevJourney #TechReflection
Years 11–15: The next generation arrives. They move faster. But you now see systems, not just syntax.
#DevJourney #TechReflection
Years 6–10: You lead teams, still build. You start translating between worlds — business and tech.
#DevJourney #TechFounder
Years 0–5: Pure creation. Long hours, deep focus. Code was craft, and we were craftsmen.
#SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareCraftmanship
26 years in software engineering. Looking back, it feels like this:
#IndieDevs #FutureOfWork
Liquid Glass looks beautiful, then it struck me why it looked kind of familiar.
Did KDE used to look something like that too?

#iPadOS26
Windowing finally makes sense after #StageManager

Interestingly strange….
After 1 week of TailwindCSS, I couldn’t go back to Bootstrap which I had been using for over 10 years.
I think my styling thought process got stuck with Tailwind
