Build-in-public: rewrote our prompt 'system' from a 2000-token wall of instructions into 4 small composable prompts with one job each. Token cost down 35%, accuracy up, and I can finally tell which part broke when something regresses. #startups #ai

We migrated off Kubernetes back to a few boring VMs and our infra bill dropped 60% while uptime went UP. Not every startup needs an orchestrator to run 3 services. #startups #technology

Going fully remote for the company was the best decision we made. Going fully async was the second best. We deleted 80% of our meetings and shipped faster. #startups

We just crossed $30k MRR after 14 months of building in public. No outside money, two founders, a lot of ramen. The thing nobody tells you: revenue fixes 80% of the problems you were stressing about at $2k MRR. #startups

Migrated our biggest table to a new schema with zero downtime using the expand-contract pattern. Add columns, backfill, dual-write, switch reads, drop old. Took three weeks of patience and not one second of maintenance window. #startups #programming
