Started to write it as a simple post, and then it exploded into the full-blown blog post. Plus, I wanted to share a few photos.

I hope you enjoy it 👉 screenshotone.com/blog/200000...

One of the biggests problems with AI agents is that errors accumulate quickly, and after many steps the chance of finding a successful solution decreases rapidly.

There is a clear demand for social media without AI bots, AI-generated slop, and without the algorithmic curation of the feed.

Humans to humans, as it should have ever been.

Results:

Participating in the national Olympics sports team, a school for for gifted, knowing a few languages... And extremely spoiled, lazy to help with home routines at the same time.

What if both wolves are right? I don’t know. Parenting is hard. No lessons to extract, sorry.

Two wolves fight in me:

1. One wants my kids to have a challenge and grow. Because life won’t be easier when they become adults.

2. And another wolf buys them everything they ask for, wants them to have a ton of pleasure, and enjoy life. Because life won’t be easier when they become adults.

You 100% can build a business that makes money without:

- lying
- using "dark" marketing patterns
- attacking competitors
- compromising your integrity and values

You can. It is possible.

I have built a ChatGPT plugin to integrate my product, then there were custom GPTs, then I built an MCP.

I respect their pivots, but please, I hope Apps SDK is the last iteration and bet by OpenAI on adding integrations into ChatGPT and to bootstrap a marketplace.

If you are my customer, I will post about you on social media or my blog (with your permission, of course). I might recommend you to other founders who might benefit from your product.

We win or lose together. It is in my interest for you to succeed.

The higher peak is not guaranteed.

Dmytro Krasun @dmytrokrasun.com · 7d

I noticed it many times over the years. It makes me more resilient, and not rare, but the next stop is much higher rating.

Now, I think the same happened to me in the business. I reached a tiny local peak. And it is incredibly hard to destroy everything and rebuild from scratch.

Once I reach the peak of my performance with a new approach in chess, I am incredibly risk-averse to try something different. It is painful to go down in rating and the image I built of myself.

Since it is just a game, I then start experimenting and losing.

Maybe AI will help to cure cancer one day.

But first, we need to automate the generation of inputs and buttons using HTML/CSS.

Dmytro Krasun @dmytrokrasun.com · 8d

It is a real survivorship bias. Those who were misdiagnosed by AI apparently can’t publish anymore or don’t go viral.

Seeing how AI writes code, I wouldn’t trust it with my medical diagnosis for something more serious than a headache.

Dmytro Krasun @dmytrokrasun.com · 8d

AI will never automate what is truly fun for humans.

It was a slow month and I took a break from work. Yet shipped a few new features.

My September 2025 public report for ScreenshotOne.com:

"I should brag less about how many hours I worked and be more proud of how many hours I enjoyed life while my business has been growing and working almost on autopilot."

My September 2025 public report about my business and its earnings:

Build a social media scheduler, a screenshot API, or a marketplace if you want to.

Don’t listen to any advice. Do whatever you want.

Life is too short to make money.

Why getting out of the comfort zone and growing is really hard:

Don’t listen to anyone who says churn doesn’t matter.

Especially in the era of saturated marketing channels and fierce competition, attracting new customers will be tougher.

Reducing churn to keep your current customers will result in a better ROI, even more now.

Your moat is the number of iterations you make.

Don’t quit.

We seek authenticity and support others when they fail, and yet we do not follow losers.

Cycled to the beach. Drunk a cup of coffee and read a book. Now, back to work.

Will I ever be able to sacrifice that to build a unicorn company?

Dmytro Krasun @dmytrokrasun.com · 25d

Reading “Company of One”.

How did I miss that book? And didn’t it before?
