Opus 4.7 is good when coding. Terrible when used as a sparring partner: elaborate answers, too moralistic and drawing conclusions too fast.

Incredible to think how normalized it is to put yourself into debt. Even encouraged by your parents buying a house.

Last week I emailed 33 blogs and news outlets about my Batman poster. Results: 1 reply 2 features (The Awesomer + Brand New by UnderConsideration) 392 visitors 10 email captures 10-15 clicked pre-order but didn't complete The poster tracks 96 bat-symbols Batman actually wore from 1939–2025. No marketing logos, no cover art. My approach: I found a competitor's backlinks in Ahrefs, discovered their Batman poster was discontinued, and emailed every site that linked to it offering mine as an updated replacement. First email sent April 3. Featured on The Awesomer by April 6.

Completely missed the Batman poster featured on Under Consideration's Brand New section until I checked my traffic stats just now.

Reaching out to blogs for the batman poster, Claude told me to skip Vice because "The new Vice is doing stories about Ukrainian goth teens and secret Bolivian cocaine bars" 😂

A new world has opened up for me: competitor research revealing blog outreach globally. Let's try that!

Been reaching out to blogs featuring a Batman logo evolution poster from 2012 that is no longer available and asking them to replace their broken links with my poster. Let's see if this tactic is worth it.

I’ve launched the Batman logos poster on Reddit and it’s interesting to see the difference between subreddits: /batman: 11k views with 30 upvotes and a couple of comments. /coolguides: 100k views with 300 upvotes and dozens of comments after a couple of hours. Never would have expected that.

Got the Ditto preview logo in the Chrome webstore! Not sure why. Maybe because it has a checkmark now too.

Creating images for Pinterest to gain more traffic. I have no idea what will work so we're just testing things out.

Added more reviews to breen.studio in the style of senja.io. Learned from Jorn van Dijk (founder of Framer) to reduce the speed of the loop and make the testimonial clickable.

Direction matters more than current position.

Started working on a Star Wars poster before I even finished the Batman poster. Genuine quality logos in the Star Wars universe:

Rereading this rings so true: “You have to face challenges and go out on adventures so you can build character. You will not only be interesting to people, but that character is also needed to provide a stable framework that can handle the chaos of life.”

Added these Batman symbols to the poster today which is almost complete. The top-left one was the bat-symbol used in the first digitally made comic book back in '91. The top-right one is when Batman was a priest.

I see the same pattern again watching an interview with James Cowling: you need stepping stones to combat the unknown unknowns. I need to learn how to discipline myself doing this.

New realization reading Tony Dinh’s book: instead of creating a complete poster (i.e. every bat-symbol out there) which would take way too long, break it up into a smaller sub-section and see if it gets bought. If so, work towards completion.

YouTube renamed their transcript segment elements which affected the quality of transcript extraction by Ditto. I've fixed the issue and re-uploaded it on the Chrome store. It should be working in 24h.
