Dad of two with a 9–5. Building PulseWatch, so you hear when a script fails. Goal: $1000 MRR.

Made my first $1 online yesterday. One actual dollar, paid for something I built. I'm aware this isn't yet a viable alternative to employment. Still absurdly pleased about it.

Good morning folks! How’s your Sunday? It’s a slow one here. Fed the kids banana pancakes, now running errands that the DIY store. Dog walk and pub lunch later. Laptop staying closed. Now…home for coffee.

What’s the best excuse you’ve used for not shipping? Spent the afternoon turning feedback from @thejacobpeggs into features for a site about not shipping: sharper hook, shareable cards, free reactions, and an Excuse of the Week. Your project made $0. At least make it famous.

Morning team. What are you building? Flu and wet weather both cleared overnight. Yesterday was a massive PulseWatch & agent workflow day. Today is football, a Pokémon tournament, and the DIY list. But first, coffee.

Been sick for a few days, so not much building on PulseWatch. Apparently I’m still incapable of leaving it alone. I put my AI “team” to work on a 30-second promo. They made the video. I complained about the music. A script never starts. No error. No log. How long before you notice?”

Good morning team! I’m 90% back. Three days lost to flu wasn’t the plan, but there you go. Caffeine loading… How’s are you doing today? What are you building?

You have to go all in on one. Which are you choosing?

GM! Unbelievably, still sick. Kinda over it. Coffee helps. How are you all getting on? What are you building today?

What actually makes a vibecoder? If you’re shipping with Claude or Codex, you’re describing the thing and checking the diff. That’s most of us now. So who still counts, and who just doesn’t want the label?

A month ago I said point the model at Riemann. They just did. OpenAI dropped an AI-generated proof of the quasi-Riemann hypothesis (no zeros with real part > 7/8). Serious number theorists are working through it and largely think it holds. The full RH is still open but bloody hell.
I’m genuinely blown away by OpenAI’s Navier–Stokes result. But I’m conflicted too. The questions around training data and parallel human work matter. So does a major scientific discovery being made with a private, unreleased model significantly beyond what anyone else can access. Science works best in the open. I’m not sure I love discovery becoming a private capability. Still…what an extraordinary result.

Morning team! Thanks to all who checked in yesterday. I owe you all a coffee. Still sick so taking another day. Is it weird that I’m missing my laptop? Let me live vicariously; what are you building/shipping today?

Full of flu. Sofa day. Slow start, but the coffee happened. Not opening the laptop. What are you dodging today?

#2 on Uneed. Didn’t expect that. PulseWatch launched today. It emails you when a scheduled job goes missing, fails, or gets stuck. Two monitors free. Genuinely grateful. What’s the job you’d want watched first?

Builders: what’s the longest a broken automation went unnoticed before you caught it? PulseWatch launched on Uneed today. It emails when scheduled jobs go missing, fail or get stuck. I’d love your feedback on it.

Got a Python or Bash script you keep meaning to monitor? I made a free wrapper generator for it. Add start/success/fail pings around your existing job. Keep your scheduler. Connect it to one of PulseWatch’s two free monitors.

It’s a supermarket chain called Alpha Mega locally in Cyprus that’s helping less fortunate children in need here 💪 I documented it all on my Instagram as they’re not on X unfortunately

PulseWatch is #2 on Uneed this lunchtime. Thank you 🙏 A quick look at what it does: this demo job reported a failure, then recovered. The failed run stayed in history. What’s watching your scheduled jobs?
