18 months in France turned French into a survival skill. I’m apparently the only one using AI for it: I feed it my exercises, let it expose my recurring mistakes, and drag out the topics I keep avoiding. I still forget half the words, but at least the chaos makes sense now 🤞

bonjour ça va bonjour ça va bonjour ça va bonjour ça va. i’m not an npc. zero proof so far.

either he buys the christmas tree in french only or we both go a month without pain au chocolat. toxic but educational 🎄

on my third foreign language and the final boss isn’t grammar, it’s vocab. kind of know how i wanna fight it so i’m going solo dev on an app. thoughts and prayers to my memory

wrote one sexy prompt and was like “ok my product works now”. opened it. delulu over.

i officially confirm that it works 100%. how is this different from any other addiction?

week 3 (bootstrapper's diary lmao): despite my second higher education in IT, i have never touched code. every time, every commit, gives me more and more pleasure, because i am making a product not only for others, but also for myself 😼 god save Anthropic

ok designers which paywall is better: left or right?

during the first week of coding memmi, i came up with a new character from napkin sketch to 3d and voilà 💫

after-holidays week: new-year-me is reopening the codebase like an archaeological site 🧙‍♀️

week 5: i really want to share updates, but i have nothing to share. i really want to release the first version of my (first) app, but every day i get buried deeper and deeper if you're also making your product right now, don't worry, we're in this together 👐🏻

people love tweeting about new users. less about the part where you don’t know what you’re doing, interview users for answers and fix things for the 50th time. so how many hours a week should you work on your project? it’s easy: just all of them.

A month ago Arie barely existed. Last month: > finished the MVP0 > fired our CTO, built it ourselves > ML onboard > 15 user interviews step by step > ~7M organic views in social media > one trip together to Bordeaux Closed beta very soon. This is no longer a joke.
