SLV podcast recorded! But made some mistakes.Every time I sit down to read Chinese, I fall asleep.Workout in, no run.Waiting for the sign up for this AI course, but… a word of warning if you’re thinking of building your own APP. SaaStr Episode 820 https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-official-saastr-podcast-saas-founders-investors/id1089973241?i=1000726456214The reality of AI-built APPs: they don’t work. Listening to Episode 820 of the Saastr podcast and Jason Lemkin, the guy who runs it, did a whole episode of the issues he’s faced in trying to produce apps. Basically, yea, they’re cool, but these aren’t production APPs, these are small tools you can make for you or your small team. You’re not coding the new Angry Birds on these APPs.Donate to the show!
