Bring it back

I lasted 15 days. After my first cup of coffee the world literally became more vivid. I hadn't appreciated how psychoactive coffee is! I have a new-found appreciation of it, and for that, this experiment was super beneficial. Life is better with caffeine.

I quit caffeine two weeks ago. No more jitters. No more crashes. And… no more anxiety? Just this strange (admittedly sluggish) steadiness that I’m slowly learning to accept. Here’s what changed: travis.st/caffeine

I just supported a mother of four in Kenya with a micro loan on Kiva.org I didn't even know this was a thing until today but I might be hooked! What a great platform 👏

Here's my solution to world peace - make EVERYONE work a public-facing customer service role for at least a year. That'll do it.

Met my wife 20 years ago today in a sweaty London nightclub. Thanks Friendster dot com!

So great seeing everyone last night at Silicon Summer. Beat our attendance record from last year, amazing how this community continues to grow.

When ChatGPT tells you your business idea "is a unique proposition."

150 people have signed up for Silicon Summer tomorrow. Not sure who that one person is that's not going, but they'll be missed!

Reddit is huge. But when I signed up, it was just a small Digg clone. Bluesky is huge. But when I signed up, it was just a small Twitter clone. Slack is huge. But when I first signed up, it was just another IRC clone. So what if your idea already exists. If you think you can do it better, do so.

Just heard that another two founders met & former a company because of SiliconMingle.com I've been building communities and providing space for people to connect for 18 years and it never gets old when I hear someone met their partner, cofounder, got a job, investment, inspiration... Warms my ❤️

This gif is on all my 404 pages and it makes me laugh every time I get my routes wrong

This guy's reply omg. I make it a point to be wayyyy too nice to mean people and 100% of the time they get humbled.

I'm in really good shape but I did just 25 of each of these and I'm about to cry.

New job title just dropped on LinkedIn “Vibe code cleanup specialist”

If you could describe your personality in one video, what would it be? I'll go first

Sold a lifetime plan to one of my tools 5 years ago and still provide support but the entitlement of some of my customers is extraordinary. 5 years of updates, plus using a tool with API calls all for $29 (once!) and I still get emails in ALL CAPS about non issues. Just be nice? It's not hard.

Sometimes the best way to validate a business idea is to speak it out loud to someone. If you peter out towards the end, you don't really wanna do it.

a sense of purpose is a wonderful tonic for anxiety

Kimchi doesn't last long in my house (b/c it's too delicious). Honestly, if there's ONE thing you learn this autumn, it should be how to ferment food (kimchi is a great place to start!). Here's my boss kimchi recipe 👇 travis.st/kimchi

I've been getting into 'vibe coding' with Claude and it's been great in tracking down variable functions and providing suggestions but hooboy if I didn't know how to fix all the errors I'd be very upset.

Read this Reddit thread about a startup shutting down. There were 5 comments, 2 of them are: > I've never heard of it 🧐 and: > Never heard of it #buildinpublic

This is honestly fascinating. I didn't know any of this. youtu.be/w5ebcowAJD8?...

"I've been expecting you" I say, slowly swivelling my chair around to greet the unfair expectations I placed upon myself

I always give hard-won advice when asked but rarely is it taken. People w̶a̶n̶t̶ need to figure it out on their own. It's never actually been about the destination.

We talk about “community building” like it’s solved. It’s not. We’re still learning how to make communities that last decades, not ones that obsess with the hype cycles.

All they had to do was roll out with this. Everything would've been fine. Just b/c they're worth $500B doesn't mean they know what they're doing.

GPT-5 is giving me TYPOS now. A language model that can't language. Pretty sure they trained it on this 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ69...

One of my favourite ways to do research is to google [intended search topic] filetype:pdf and see what key documents people leave public in their Amazon buckets 👀

This is what I see without my glasses

Every indie hacker has 2 products: 1. The one they're building 2. The next one they're daydreaming about #SaaS #buildinpublic

little reminder to check up on your ADHD friends who have been suspiciously quiet lately

Even GPT-5 agrees

Got absolutely SMOKED by a mum pushing a pram with a kid in. Tried to catch up, couldn't. Love me some humble pie 🥧
