I think Costco could come into this space. With fixed margins, I'd be able to blindly ask for a replenishment.
joewhale··on After automation: Solo founding will be the default
I don’t think it will be the default for enterprise, but it will be for consumer apps. I built a personal finance net worth/cash flow tracker in 3 days, and my circle of friends and family are all on it now. It’s the golden era of building something specific for you and your family.

What problem were you solving and what were you building?
joewhale··on After automation: Solo founding will be the default
You’ll rarely be too early. If you’re building some people want/need, they will be happy to hear what you’re working towards and potentially give feedback.
joewhale··on Apple HomeView

joewhale··on Whistle: Speech to Text in 16.9 MB
I initially read this as whistle to text, which would be way cooler.
joewhale··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
My wife hates clutter and the junk that we've accumulated the past few years because of our two children receiving junk toys.

I built a simple wish list app that anyone can create a wish list and share without the need to create an account. Great for birthdays, evergreen lists, Christmas, etc.

Kpler acquired them and it's not consumer friendly anymore. They are focused on enterprise accounts only now.
joewhale··on Measuring AI agent autonomy in practice
That’s what a bot would say to fit in.
joewhale··on The US is flirting with its first-ever population decline
One factor is that people are obsessed with removing any friction in their life that stands in the way of whatever they believe makes them happy at the end of the day. Which for a lot of the US is just being alone and unbothered with a TV or a phone.

Having responsibilities and caring for others is actually good for the human soul. Being inconvenienced is a part of real life.

I’m not trying to convince everyone that they need to have a kid. But from my experience, having kids provides a very deep and satisfying purpose. Not the only purpose. But it does provide one. And it helps cut through the craziness and hurt and vanity of this world.

joewhale··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
I built a fantasy football rankings app using claude code, and it has been blowing up in the fantasy football subreddit. Funny enough, it's forcing Yahoo to change their site and improve their layout which ruined all my automation. Surprised how much traffic it's receiving every week just for a better layout.
