Personal thoughts :

"Can You Still Learn to Draw in the Age of AI?"

True.
Offices can be pleasant places. But most of the time, they are noisy and inhumane.

Stacking people like stools and promoting a more humane culture is nonsense.

Building a product alone is hard.

Not exactly breaking news, I know. But I don't think everyone gets why it's actually hard.

Well, I finally decided to migrate to Brevo. The API is clearer and seems to have fewer limitations.

The only downside is that the official SDKs (in Java) don't work, so I had to make my own client.

Does anyone know the Mailjet API?
How do I add a sender (domain or email) that has already been deleted? How do I reactivate it?

Today's little discovery: www.mail-tester.com to test whether emails are classified as spam or not.

Very good post about product leader archetypes:

I love the part about the risk of process people...

I like this article for 2 reasons:

- First, it reminds us that we have been talking about AI for much longer than just since 2020.

- Second, it reminds us of the use and value of probabilistic AI vs. deterministic AI, which can actually be combined quite well.

I just released an SEO checker within Hakanai.io

There is a free version available on this page :

You can audit any public page you want. If you have any feedback about it, don't hesitate to ping me.

Just translated one of my most-read French blog posts to English.

My journey as CTO at @Malt: from solo developer to leading 50+ people.

Written in 2021 but the lessons on scaling product teams still hold true.

I used to ignore SEO completely on my blog.

I thought "corporate" blogs produced bad content for users, even if it was good for SEO.

Now I realize you can create interesting content while being SEO-performant. And I try to become good at it

🔥 WordPress vs Static Sites: Time to switch?

After 20 years of blogging and testing everything (WordPress, Medium, Hugo...), I'm sharing my experience with static site generators.

Fast, secure, but who are they really for?
