Every productivity system is a lie if youโ€™re exhausted.
Sometimes the most productive thing is rest.

No productivity method will save you if youโ€™re working on the wrong thing.
A tool can help, but youโ€™ve still got to choose the work.

Some days I build. Some days I doubt. Most days I do both.
Thatโ€™s the rhythm of entrepreneurship.

Just in case anyone thinks I'm not active here. Iโ€™m still around, just not posting much. I do check in from time to time.

That said, I recently pushed a new version of Brisqi(brisqi.com) with some nice improvements and bug fixes. Feel free to check it out.

AI has definitely made us more productive. But now, with so many low-effort products cramming in AI features just for the sake of it, my mind pretty much tunes out whenever I see "AI" mentioned.

Did anyone try making a game in react?

I wonder if there any specific game dev frameworks for react.

AI-Assisted Coding: The Hype vs. The Hidden Risks โ€œVibe codingโ€ or AI-assisted coding has become popular in the past few months. It simply means prompting the AI to generate your codebaseโ€ฆ

Been thinking about vibe coding and AI-assisted coding lately and penned down some thoughts on it. It can speed up smaller projects, but there are some important concerns to consider.

Feel free to share your thoughts!

Civilization is that game for me. I want to play it often, learn everything about it. However, time and work prevents it.

The website was up and running from the previous deployment. Just the new commit didnโ€™t get deployed which pointed to new updates.

Woke up to an email from a user this morning that they couldn't download Brisqi. ๐Ÿ˜จ

Found out the website update hadn't been deployed correctly due to a permissions issue. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

It's fixed now!

Lesson learned: never forget to verify your deployments.

1. Health
2. Experience
3. Communication skills(especially verbal skills in this AI era)

The most important assets one needs to have today. Rest falls into place.

Is it possible not to be an AI startup in 2025? | Product Hunt What do you think?

I thought following was a good question someone asked on PH:

www.producthunt.com/discussions/...

Added my answer in the post.

In short: Of course it is possible!

I remember programming with Basic in Dos in school.

Taking care of the basics, sleep, exercise, and diet makes everything easier. When I get these right, my energy, focus, and productivity improve a lot. #Productivity

Found out someone uses Brisqi to plan their #DnD sessions, how awesome is that! Itโ€™s always amazing to see how people make the app their own. I never even thought of that use case, but itโ€™s such a creative way to stay organized!

Iโ€™ve started working in 90 minute sessions to stay focused and avoid busy work. After each session, I reflect: what did I accomplish? If thereโ€™s progress, itโ€™s a win. If not, I make sure the next session is productive. It's been keeping me on track so far.

I had to remove a new feature I worked on from the main branch, as it was proving more complex to maintain than anticipated and causing some unexpected issues. While it wasn't an easy choice, it's important for the long-term quality of the software, and sometimes that means making tough calls.

07.01.2025 06:01 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That one feature you think will be quick to implement turns out to be much more involved once you start diving into the details.
