ai is genuinely incredible for building tools and prototypes. i use it every day
but there's this weird thing where people who never shipped anything at scale now think the hard part of software is writing the first 200 lines of code
it never was
this post was scheduled by dropping a markdown file into a folder. that's the whole product.
social-queue: no server, no database, no UI. just files ā bluesky/mastodon/linkedin
https://github.com/fberrez/social-queue if you want to ditch your overpriced scheduler
Minimal social media publishing queue powered by markdown files. Drop .md files to publish to Bluesky, Mastodon, and LinkedIn. - fberrez/social-queue
"yeah ai one-shotted it, just need to adjust a few things and deploy"
the few things you need to adjust IS the entire product
that's like pouring a foundation and saying you basically built a skyscraper. just need to adjust a few things
"just built a slack killer in 20 minutes with ai"
bro you built a chatbox with 2 connections on localhost. slack has engineers solving race conditions across 3 continents
the prototype is 0.5% of the product. the other 99.5% is why those engineers get paid $300k+
sunday morning and i'm posting from a markdown file. no app, no dashboard, no $20/mo scheduler.
social-queue: drop a .md in a folder, it posts to bluesky, mastodon, linkedin. filesystem is the database.
this post was a git push: https://github.com/fberrez/social-queue

i post to bluesky, mastodon, and linkedin by dropping markdown files into a folder. no database. no UI. no server.
every "social media scheduler" wants $20/mo to do what a cron job can do. so i built one. it's open source.

built it open source because every "social media scheduler" wants $20/mo for what a cron job can do
opened linkedin in 2026. someone is still posting .map() and .filter() explainers with emoji carousels. brother we have AI agents autonomously picking up tickets and opening PRs. my actual engineering challenge this week was stopping an LLM from force-resetting prod. the gap is unreal
I kind of felt a burnout at the beginning of the year: AI creates new tools, articles talking about those tools are written by AI. AI fatigue.
I started a therapy to fix that and some other issues.
Iām now back, continuing some projects I had before
Iām organising a battle between two models on trading. Their only source of informations is a news feed.
We will see which one win
