It baffles me that companies ask for sexual orientation on your application. I get that this is intended to combat discrimination, but the fact that it's in any way part of the hiring conversation feels outlandish.

Typerfast: an adaptive typing trainer Typerfast is an adaptive typing trainer. It identifies your weaknesses and generates personalized exercises to improve your speed, accuracy, and confidence.

In the process of building typerfast.com, i've discovered the worst typo of all time. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is. But I hope typerfast can train me out of it.

Seriously, how are we okay with this?

I would fly anywhere in the US to see you guys - hope you make it out here!

Would love to see you live again, count me in!

Reading it now, and enjoying it more than I expected!

on today's silly bugs - can't believe this book has been selling since 1745 when the hottest startups were in the ColonialTech and ElectroTech.

Sometimes AI says pretty profound, surprisingly insightful things, thanks of course to the smart people who first wrote this.

typerfast.com, my adaptive typing trainer, has come a long way since I started working on it 3 months ago, thanks to great feedback from paying users. Now there are varied targeted exercises, a much better UI, and expanded analytics. I hope you give it a look!

could your dumb brain help my dumb brain? because my dumb brain is still thinking this

Made an OpenAI API mistake yesterday that cost me 27 cents. Not a huge deal, but definitely the most costly bug I've had to pay for!

If you've ever heard "you know what they say about [Place], if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes", it's not [Place]. They say that everywhere.

Typerfast: an adaptive touch typing trainer Typerfast is an adaptive touch typing trainer. It learns as you type and generates personalized exercises to tackle your weaknesses and improve your speed, accuracy, and confidence.

I've been working on Typerfast.com full-time (get better at typing), while TinyLogger.com (write consistently) is functional. Without too much effort, TinyLogger has been gaining users one by one. It's an amazing feeling. Long-term I'm hoping one app will feed into the other.

In today's edition of Absolutely Useless Notifications Nobody Ever Needs, we have this gem from LinkedIn.

Here's why I built/love tinylogger.com - so that I can always pull up this page, jot down an outline, and come back to turn this into a full-fledged blog post in a week.

In what world does this make any sense to the average user?

Separately, I'm doing user tests (not on my husband) this week, and this is a really helpful reminder to have, so thank you!

It's a great example, but surely there's some fundamental difference between building products for impartial user and close relationship dynamics I imagine your husband's request is based on what you commonly do/have. Users don't know what product designers can/can't make happen, but loved ones do.

Can someone explain to me how we just had a huge debate about TikTok, but people are going to be sharing their deepest fears and thoughts with DeepSeek (literally called... that) and nobody's ringing any alarm bells?

Do you have any tips of the CFP? I'd really love to reapply after not making the cut last year.

to Max reviewing this tomorrow... I'm so sorry.
