Just wanted to share one of the best podcast episodes I’ve watched. It’s got me thinking a lot about how to pursue unreasonable excellence in my apps that I’m building and how to stand out from all of the boring companies that already exist. Definitely give it a listen if you can!
I'm hiring a freelance full stack engineer to help me build Yorby! You'll be working with me directly to build out new features for the tool. Apply at the link below 👇
I'm a serial app builder that has built over 14 different apps in the past 5 years, and over the years I've learned a lot about how to build them fast and effectively. If you want to hear about some of my productivity hacks and general tips and tricks, then check out this webinar I'm hosting with IBM SkillsBuild at the following link: ibm.biz/aitoolswebinar
My latest video I talked about the latest pivot I'm making for my startup and it was definitely quite the controversial video. TLDR is that I'm creating an AI recruiter such that when a candidate applies to a job they hop on a quick 10-15min interview with an AI interviewer where they talk more about their experience/sell themselves to the company more. There were LOTS of opinions in my comments about how some people don't love the idea of an AI interviewer, but I'm genuinely curious to hear more thoughts from you all because there is a bit of a disconnect in my brain about the negative reaction towards it.
On one hand I understand the perspective that AI interviewing sucks/can be seen as a "de-humanizing recruiting experience" but my devil's advocate POV is that this allows candidates to speak about themselves/vouch for themselves beyond just a simple resume screen which is, imo, the most extreme case of a de-humanizing job application experience. One single piece of paper to determine whether you get an in person interview or not is a crazy concept that is very much so the norm today. Yes, in an ideal world every single candidate would get an in person interview but if a company gets 1000+ applications per job listing (which is not uncommon) this is legit impossible to do. Not trying to be very defensive I'm just very curious to hear your thoughts! I understand that this would be a really bad solution if it completely got rid of ever human interview experience, but isn't being able to vouch for yourself/sell your story in a 10-15min AI interview better than just uploading your resume and never hearing back again? This would be just be one part of the interview process — a human interview would definitely still come afterwards.
Genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on this because in my opinion this is a win for the candidate, particularly non traditional candidates who may not look "great" on paper but have all the skills to be a great fit for the job.
Yoooo what's up nerds. Just wanted to hop in and acknowledge there has been a little bit of less entrepreneur/build in public content and I want to apologize for that! Things will start changing in the coming weeks with more content focused on building an app business (talking about building my own apps and just building apps in general). More to come! Thank you for the patience.

Talking to other founders in the early days of building your product is so distracting
They're typically smart, can talk well, and provide unsolicited feedback that can easily sway you to completely change your product direction
about to go nonverbal for the next 2 months

“Im a founder of a product studio” === “I have 10 apps that make $0 MRR because I can’t focus on one app and properly grow it”

does any actually use the Cursor/OpenAI/Claude PR review feature?
I feel like they add more noise than actually useful feedback to my PRs and I just end up ignoring it.
