My experience so far has been if you possess both deep domain-specific experience and significant coding experience then these coding LLMs, and most notably Opus 4.5, are the greatest productivity booster in the world.
It differs according to product. SecurityBot.dev has solid SEO because I put a lot of focused work into the landing pages. Interest in DependencyDesk has come exclusively through showing it directly to industry contacts.
The latter is partly what I was getting at regarding domain expertise because with that expertise comes an industry network. AI is great but if you’re creating solutions in search of a problem then the code doesn’t matter because nobody will need/want your product. I feel like your chances of success are much higher if you’ve personally felt the pain your product intends to solve, and that pain is built into the domain expertise people accrue over a long period of time.
I have a 3’x4’ dry erase version of this calendar format on my office wall. Bought it cheap on Amazon a few years ago. Put work travel dates, anniversaries, birthdays, vacations, etc on it. It’s nice to be able to see the “big picture” at a glance, and my kids love putting their own dates on it such as when they think Halloween decorations should be put up lol.
SecurityBot.dev is an all-in-one uptime, performance, security, and SEO monitoring tool. I launched it a few months ago and have been iterating on it ever since. Later this week SecurityBot.dev will log its 1 millionth uptime check which is pretty cool to see.
It includes the usual uptime monitoring service that you see everywhere else, but also features such as a PageSpeed Insights monitor (https://securitybot.dev/pagespeed-insights) and a broken link checker (https://securitybot.dev/broken-link-checker). I continue adding new monitor types as I personally need them (and also based on use feedback).
I am working on SecurityBot https://securitybot.dev a service that combines uptime, performance, SEO, and security monitoring. Among other things it inckudes PageSpeed Insights analysis, a broken link auditor (401, 404, 500, etc), and historical ping/uptime results.
I recently shipped an MCP server thst can delivered broken link results to Cursor so they can rapidly be resolved.
This weekend I added a broken link monitor to https://SecurityBot.dev. It will scan a site and flag 400, 403, 404, and 500 HTTP status codes. Screenshot:
Maybe try doing curls with 3/5 pound weights instead! Or standing shoulder presses. Do that for a few weeks and then return to pushups. At that point you'll be strong enough to do 1. And then as you say, 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 5, and 5 becomes 100. I couldn't do more than 15 in a row on January 1. On August 16 I did 525 in 2.5 hours (I know this because it is in my Google Sheet).
Don’t feel bad the other day a friend sent me a story about a guy who recently set some record by completing 1,721 pushups in one hour. Needless to say I dropped down and did 20 more.
A small book I read years ago mentioned said Bruce Lee would do 1k daily as an example of self-discipline. It was in addition to all his other training, this was just the baseline.
Once you can do 100 in a set though, that's just ten sets throughout the day. Totally doable if your employer can tolerate a sweaty employee.
I've learned it is very important to think about achieving this output in small batches (sets) as you mention. For instance on Saturday I did 527 pushups. I did a set of 30 in the morning, and then did 400 on the soccer field with my friend Charlie (the neighbor mentioned in post). But we did these in 16 sets of 25, every five minutes over the course of our kids' soccer game. Then I came home and figured since I was so close to my PR (525), I might as well grind out another hundred in order to eclipse that number. I wound up at 527, doing the last 97 in batches of 15, 10, and even 5. I actually think I did the last two in sets of 1 lol because I was so wiped out!
