Three years ago, my basketball shooting percentage hovered around 43%. Now, it's at 67%. It's all just practice.I'm not trying to go pro—I simply enjoy the feeling of progress. In entrepreneurship, it often feels like you take three steps forward and two steps back.Someone once said, "A startup only fails when the founder gives up." It's true. Whenever you feel like you're not moving forward, go outside and exercise. When you move around, you're improving your health. That's certain, unlike the other uncertainties you deal with every day.#entrepreneur #solopreneur #exercise #health

I've used countless design tools throughout my career, yet I can't seem to commit to just one. These tools often follow a predictable pattern: they start as free, then become freemium, then premium, then subscription-based. Eventually, it feels like they're saying, "Forget your monthly bills—we need to pay our investors!"Over time, I've learned to adapt to whatever free tool gives me the results I need. As a SaaS founder, I know I'm the worst kind of customer. But with technology evolving so rapidly, there's always a new competitor creating a design tool.As a non-designer, most free tools are sufficient for my needs. But I'm curious: would you pay for a design tool?#DesignTools #SaaS #Freemium

Not sure if it’s a Asian culture thing, moms or aunties here LOVES giving unsolicited advice to new mom.“You should put a blanket on him”“He’s hungry. I know that cry”“Don’t carry him all the time, he will get used to it”If we bring our baby outside, complete strangers will approach you to say this out of the blue.If we try to be polite and say thank you, they continue give you “advice” from their era. This absolutely have me scared of bringing baby close to a group of aunties. 😅I wonder if this is what I sound like if I give young people advice. That’s why I try to only offer advice if someone asks it. The problem is that most people don’t ask, including myself. So new parents with a business, how do you do it?#parent #entrepreneur #business

How I Keep a Pulse on the Stock Market with AutomationThe Chinese stock market went "bonkers" last week. The average return for the entire market was about 12.15%.While the Chinese stock market hasn't performed well since 2015, it's rare to see a bounce back like this.I revisited an old stock crawler project to continue gathering fundamental data from Chinese companies.I used to have the crawler running daily to find companies that fit my filtering criteria.I would receive an email from "Jarvis" reporting the important metrics of each company.Thanks to this old project, I still had a pocket full of what I considered "quality companies."I don't know how long this bounce back will last, but opportunities are reserved for the prepared.What other ways are you using automation or AI for personal finance?#automation #ai #personalfinance

This is how I feel when my newborn smiles at me.You can now animate any image with pika.art.The end result looks scarier than I intended.Trust me, when I tried it with my own photo and used the "melt it" effect, it was even more terrifying.#AI #aiart

This is the Google Analytics data for ,PostScale.io,.It's been a while since I've paid attention to it, and it shows.The spike in traffic occurred when I was actively promoting it everywhere—here, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and even Discord and Slack channels.However, this approach wasn't sustainable. Here's why:→ PostScale was a tool to repurpose YouTube videos for other social platforms, but I wasn't creating YouTube content.→ Promoting your own tool on Reddit quickly becomes self-promotion if people don't see its value.→ I received too much diverse feedback, making it difficult to decide on the next development steps.→ Growing on multiple channels simultaneously is challenging.→ Although I had a small YouTube channel, my previous content wasn't relevant to PostScale.What's next for PostScale?PostScale was born from a hackathon and aimed to solve my personal challenge: being more efficient with marketing.Initially, I thought I'd start posting frequently on YouTube.But once again, I posted once and stopped. Why do I keep doing this?The simple answer is that I didn't enjoy it.However, I do enjoy posting on LinkedIn and writing.Even if AI can write with better grammar than me, I still find satisfaction in expressing my thoughts.That's why I created an automation system to post directly from my Notion.It offers less friction and setup compared to video content.Perhaps I'll return to video someday, but for now, I want to focus on a process I enjoy.So, what's the plan for PostScale?I want to pivot it to cater more to LinkedIn creators.If you're active on LinkedIn too, feel free to message me about what challenges you face when posting there.#LinkedinMarketing

OpenAI released their Realtime APIWe built CallCare.app to mimic real life conversation to track mental wellness decline for elderly.This would be perfect! One of the biggest challenge was latency and delay in audio processing. The way CallCare is currently built follows this patternTwilio Audio Stream → Google Speech to Text → Text included in prompt to Gemini → Gemini response to Google’s text to speech → Twilio Audio ResponseSo if I could get access to OpenAI’s realtime API, this can definitely help with the phone conversation feeling life like.However, I don’t have access yet, even if I have paid. 😢So for now, here are some information on their site about Realtime API.Key Features:The API enables natural conversations with six preset voices.Developers can now handle audio input and output with GPT-4o in the Chat Completions API.This eliminates the need to combine multiple models for speech-to-speech applications, reducing latency and complexity.How it Works,:The Realtime API uses a persistent WebSocket connection and supports function calling.It streams audio inputs/outputs, supporting real-time conversational experiences.Availability & Pricing,:The API is available in public beta for paid developers.Pricing: Text tokens at $5/1M, audio input at $100/1M tokens, and audio output at $200/1M tokens

I have been using Cursor from ,cusor.com, for a week now.And I am never going back to copy pasting into ChatGPT or Claude nowHere’s why:1. cmd + L to open chat to chat about the current file2. cmd + K after highlight a block of code to modify that block3. I can choose the file(s) to add as context or even use the whole codebase as context Why this is useful? Say I changed a reusable function and now it takes one more parameter. I can literally ask it to look through the codebase and tell you where to change. Or if I have a UI component that doesn’t follow other components styles, I can tell it to reference a file and make change to this current file4. Git diff style of applying changesThis one is a game changer for me, because if I paste code into ChatGPT, I neither need to paste the whole file or a very specific block. But with Cursor, I can hit apply and let it figure out where to change my code, and like merging with git, I can choose which lines to change or accept the whole change. It’s like reviewing someone else’s code, but he can fix it right away.Initially, it was a little weird to get used to. It’s like “Woah, what are you doing to my code”😂But eventually, it did speed up everything that I do.A little caveat though, if you are working with some frameworks that changes constantly, it doesn’t always know what documentation to pull. But I guess that’s just the context from gpt-o or claude.Always read the changes and commit and push often if it leads you down the wrong path.Happy shipping!

Being small is actually an advantageYou can push new features faster than those “big boys”Now with all those tools available on the market, you can ship faster than ever.Got a customer support message on Crisp on Friday.Build the new feature on Saturday.Deploy and email customer on Sunday.Get a happy customer email on Monday.I didn’t “have to” move that fast. I just wanted to and I can, so why not?#solopreneur #aicoding

This is my first attempt on automating my post with make.comHonestly, with years of coding experience, using no-code tool is learning a completely new skill.What I learned from this:Configuration always take time - code or no-codeThe same concept of variable and function still existMake.com, community is pretty niceRemember to click saveTest with test accountsYou can’t just write \n for newline, but you have to choose the newline variable from the helper boxI can’t imagine being ,make.com, engineer. Having to maintain all of those integration and trying to cover the ever growing use cases, props to their team. They really seize an great opportunity and the execution is great.
