I think they are releasing the native app so they can have the omni-present ask bar that some people I assume like. Also I assume their CLI will be eventually integrated into this app.

New comment by gbourne1 in "Ask HN: How do you handle marketing as a solo technical founder?"

gbourne1 — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 02:20:28 +0000

As a builder/developer, marketing often isn't considered "fun". But you need to do it, else the build was for your personal entertainment/learning exp (which is sometimes a good thing).

What I do is stop building and focus 100% on marketing - well, 90% because I can't help myself. Even if this isn't as "fun", you need to switch modes and stop building.

As for my approach, I start with Google Ads + SEO/AEO. Google ads can get results in a few weeks (Google does have a learning phase) and SEO and AEO is a much longer process, which can be months before you see results. I use AHREF to check my SEO/AEO progress. While AHREF isn't a direct measurement of Google, I've found their DR to be correlated with my organic traffic.

New comment by gbourne1 in "Meta delays rollout of new AI model after performance concerns"

gbourne1 — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 01:24:16 +0000

> “ The model, code-named Avocado, outperformed Meta’s previous A.I. model and did better than Google’s Gemini 2.5 model from March, two of the people said. But it has not performed as strongly as Gemini 3.0 from November, they said.”

So in two months they will make it better than 3.1? But by then there will probably be even newer models. It would be great if we get another competing model, but it isn’t going to be easy for Meta.

Well, there you go.

New comment by gbourne1 in "Stripe: Billing for LLM Tokens"

gbourne1 — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:23:05 +0000

I’m tired of every AI capability at SaaS companies charging usage fees. I get it: they both have their own token costs and want to make a profit on the feature. But it makes a $50 a month product potentially hundreds if I’m not careful. For example our customer chat tool with AI on is going to be hundreds a month instead of the $39/mo we pay. We turned off the AI capability.

It might go that way - skip the higher level languages or an AI fit to purpose language. Right now we want to have a comfort feeling for being able to read the code if we need to. I would love to see a study of a year ago the percentage of code reviewed vs today’s AI generated code
