@pxue on X
US for example owns the LNG trade right now and that’s a major choke for power production across the world, China owns the rare earth metals that goes into solar and wind.
First: It’s a MCP/cli you can hook up to Claude code and slack, it integrates with GitHub.
the harness lets you record decision as contextual info you can pull up whenever your start a planning session.
It also makes sure your decisions don’t conflict with each other.
I find myself talking through a decision I made months ago with it, update it with any new decisions and it just figures out how to merge everything.
No extra workflow outside of this.
Yes but very cautiously and always with human in the loop. AI is great at cutting away ops noise (false alerts), OK at root cause analysis / debugging and terrible at actually prioritizing and fixing the thing.
It's not a solved a problem and companies like Rootly's actively speaking in this area. I'd read their blog and see what's the latest in the field.
otherwise, consider it lost + name and shame
Stat seems like only 15(?) authors on substack makes $1,000/m or more. Which is wild.
But through this process I've
- gained an engaging audience on X - multiple inbound leads that turned into long term collabs - a discord community of my best readers where we meet once a week
Worth the investment
Rarely makes good products.
Thank you.
So just to clarify I didn't have an audience when I wrote the book. I took the time and told people my story over the past 6 months, and while I did that - sold books.
I think good storytellers should be able to build an audience regardless of the format - highly recommend any aspiring author to try it.
No paper.
I write in notion, export to markdown, then compile to pdf / Epub with pandoc
It's super easy, highly recommend
Send me an email, I'll share you the first chapter
I basically gave bits and pieces of each chapter away as content - then funneled interested readers into DMs and profile visits with link to my ebook.
I've marketed and sold 400+ copies of it at $19 so far and about to raise the price to $39, near 100% margin minus stripe fees.
What stops authors doing what I did? Plenty of people want to read, to blame lack of readership is just completely wrong.
- tally.so forms, can embed anywhere
- cloud function (gcp)
- sendgrid (adds to contact list)
Unless you're getting hundreds of contacts a day this setup is basically free.
