I’ve spent nearly seven years documenting how we built Fathom: outages, DDoS attacks, migrations, $100k AWS savings, my cofounder’s retirement, and a divorce. I write transparently because I want other people to learn from my mistakes. These 18 posts tell the story:

I'm a big fan of running a lean business but, even when we were at $2,000 MRR, we still paid for managed services because we wanted 100% of our focus to be on our product. I'd do the same thing if I was starting today. Protect your mental bandwidth and focus on what matters.

I asked Mythos to audit this "free, self-hosted" software. It's slop. Be careful what you install.
Introducing Postiz-cheap 🎉
Many are paying $99/mo for Postiz just to schedule content
That's $1188 a year. Forever. Crazy expensive
So I built a free open-source alternative
No subscriptions, no lock-in, no limits
Have fun 🥳

I got tired of paying $100 for Ralph Lauren polos so I have imported 100 shirts from China and I’m printing my own horse logo on them.
Selling them for $5 each.
Ralph Lauren is dead.

Someone on here clones Beehiv because they think it’s too expensive but then someone else clones that person’s SaaS because they think it’s too expensive. And then someone else clones this new person’s product and releases it for free. I can’t stop laughing.

Tibo, I would like to formally apply for the role. It’s the part I was born to play, baby. And best of all, I’ve actually scaled an app far beyond 1 billion users*. I kid you not, I can help Dot bot knock out Grok Bot, whatnot and Muse.
*1 billion WEBSITE users 😏

DM if you want to help scale dots to 1B users and have done similar things in the past

This isn't a joke. I am looking to hire someone to help me move a .es domain to AWS. Please get in touch if this is something you have experience with.

HOLY CRAP. Alright, I'm 100% sold on Cursor Projects. I need a reminder tattooed to my forehead that says "stop sleeping on new stuff the Cursor team are working on". So instead of one agent per task, you work with a "coordinator" who spins up agents & PRs. I like this a lot.

A huge thank you to @davidgomes for taking the time to explain this to me and patiently pushing me. Now the challenge comes to not use this feature to multi-task gigantic features. If I can keep awareness around my "review capacity" on tasks, I will thrive. Easy to overdo.

The exploits of the last few days are a good reminder of why we use SaaS. Our company pays for ~20 SaaS services. If we self-hosted them, we’d now be responsible for all of the security patches this week. Instead, our small monthly bill pays for their teams to handle everything.

Does it mean SaaS are immune from being hacked? No, absolutely not. But if you pick good vendors, the probability is reduced. There are lots of red flags that have led us to avoiding risky vendors. We prioritize mature vendors (4+ years) who have strict reviews of AI code.

I've lost my patience with GitHub. Going to be migrating our CI pipeline off of Actions because I'm fully tired of the regular outages from this platform. I know they're having growing pains, I get it, but I'm so tired of issue after issue. They have Microsoft money!
