There's no way I'm taking my two children on that 😂. Luckily I've found an alternate route. It would be perfect if there was an actual cycle path there!

Google street view of the A47 road near Norwich. Spring a busy dual carriageway flanked by a tiny footpath that is supposed to be a cycle path.

Google maps cycling directions showing a route along the A47

I just check directions to a mate's house. Apparently the A47 is a cycle path?!?

I was thinking of doing the same (smaller membership). I'm moving back to Norwich (which has a distinct lack of bootstrappers) from Berlin so it's nice to see your review.

Thank you SaaS.

I don't think developers in general wouldn't be interested in referrals.

Startup idea 💡

Collab with DHL and other lockers to offer their unused space as storage.
Trying to store a bag in a European city is a nightmare even with a startups that offer space in a corner shop (often closed on a Sunday for example).

App idea 💡
Route planner that tells you the weather for each day on your trip.
Morecase is sooo close but it presumes I'll continually move from point to point.

Developers as Sales Agents

B2B sales relies on strong networks. Developers often have these networks from past roles and meetups. Salespeople have ZERO network as they don't come from tech industry.
How can we leverage developers' networks for sales?

Has Google's AI suggestions impacted SEO? I feel like I click fewer links after searching a question as often the AI answers my question.

I think this can have a good impact on search results as there is no longer a place for larger articles that take ages to answer a simple Q

We're here, it was great.

Even a local Chinese restaurant near us was coming up noodles on their gas burner. Workers stopped to have a beer and chat, no sense of panic at all.

We were in Málaga for the nationwide blackout yesterday. The response was exemplary. No traffic chaos, police worked through the night at busy crossings. The metro was shut down but buses carried on as normal. The market was going, cash only.

🚉 Train 3: Eurostar Brussels Midi -> London Kings X
🏁 Speed: 23 Mbps 💨
🤞 Reliability: Intermittent, connection cut out for 10 minutes randomly

🚉 Train 2: IC Köln -> Brussels Midi
🏁 Speed: 880 Kbps
🤞 Reliability: Reasonable (can hear the dial up cogs whirring)

Travelling 🚂 Berlin -> Cologne -> Brussels -> London today.
It takes roughly the same amount of time as a work day (including change overs) so I'm working from the trains. Wifi varies between the trains

🚉 Train 1: IC Berlin -> Köln
🏁 Speed: 1.4 Mbps
🤞 Reliability: Good

I'm lacking motivation to work on my business ... oh wait, there it is

Agreed 👍

Is Nestle USA really Swiss?

I've made a business out of Stripe consulting. Their support is great but they have a LOT of users and edge cases.

Be prepared to listen to the same Bumble ad where they go to a rave over and over and over.

If "C" is a recurring charge and it's taken by card, one option is cancel the card. Your card company will give you a new one and future payments can't be taken with the old one. A bit drastic but maybe a last resort.

Is there some measure for gender bias? I'd love to see a comparison of these models.

I agree. AI means we need to hire fewer devs because we can build faster. But what we build and how the overall system works is still a human task. That's part of the art of software.

My workflow as an indie hacker using AI
1. Have idea
2. Prototype idea using Cursor
3. Test working prototype
4. Never ship it
5. See step 1.

Even a senior developer can 100x dev time by harnessing AI. From idea to working prototype in 30 minutes 🔥 Using:

- v0
- Cursor Agents
- 15 years of dev knowledge (a lot of people forget this one)

Yes true! It's a super power of indie hackers for sure
