8yo: Dad, what's your favorite dad joke?
me: Why is a dad joke like a broken pencil?
8yo: 🤷
me: Because it has no point.

No, because simple is not the same as easy. That's why most people reading self-help books don't change. Knowing is just the starting point.

If you want to push it, you can identify with some degree of certainty who is most likely to follow back.

You know Google is back when it announces something users can try on the same day.

By trying to make $1, I hoped to get somewhere further along. The realization of being on the wrong path is not the progress I like but valuable. Thanks, Jason.

What's your definition of real?

It does. It also made me realize how unrealistic my plan to make $1 in 2024 through donations for my free Chrome extension, which targets indie hackers, is.

"no budget + won't be around" hurts lol

Squid Game season 2 drops Dec 26. Can't wait to re-subscribe to Netflix... so I can binge-watch Breaking Bad for the 28th time.

When you have a new project idea, how many domains do you explore before buying one? 5? 10? What if you could explore thousands? Check out this demo of brainstorming domains for the idea: 'Build a ProductHunt alternative for indie hackers.'

Many criticize ChatGPT for making everything average, but fast mediocrity is a superpower when used right. To innovate, you only need to excel in one area and be good enough everywhere else. ChatGPT helps you reach "good enough" quickly, allowing you to focus on what truly matters.

I know at least one FAANG company does, and I'm pretty sure they all do.

"We are operating like a startup" is the most obvious big tech lie. No freedom, no upside.

I'd love to be included. I'm building domscan.co in public. Thanks!

I've just learned that Namecheap is the one rejecting my affiliate application, not Impact. The most frustrating part is that they gave no explanations so I don't know how to fix it.

That's awesome. 🎉

It's crazy not being able to find what you just saw a moment ago. This is software, not magic. 😂

Just saw an intriguing post on my feed but accidentally refreshed it. After a brief moment of paranoia, I realized it’s Bluesky, so I could simply scroll down a little to find it. What a relief!

That makes sense with credits. Thank you!

Namecheap's affiliate partner, Impact.com, kept rejecting my application. I'm considering switching to a different company. It'd be awesome if you could share your go-to domain registrar with me. Thanks so much!

Any smart idea for part 2?

Last weekend was our 9th grader's first wrestling tournament. We were excited to snap a lot of stunning photos, and we did-hundreds of them. Turns out, when we looked through them later, 90% were... of butts.

Will do. Thanks, Niyan.

Anyone didn't use the brute-force solution for part 2?
