Ship new AI model (again) after verifying the new-new model works better than the previous attempt: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog
Fix spacing issues on the landing page #watchdog
Rework landing page and add customer logos (working on fixing spacing now) #watchdog
Get accepted to some kind of AWS "startups to watch" program and sign up for a call to learn wtf this is. I never do calls but it sounds like they might throw me more AWS credits plus early access to stuff if I do it, so why not #watchdog
Write LLM test harness to evaluate new base models and see how different they might be compared to the baseline #watchdog
Set up P99 latency metrics grouped by (request method, route) so I can see if any APIs need optimizing #watchdog
Dual write to a bunch of new AI models in parallel using goroutines (very powerful in situations like this) and log all of the results so I can see how they behave compared to the current model #watchdog
Ship rule exclusions feature which allows customers to enforce a given rule in all channels EXCEPT for certain channels and post a demo video showing how it works: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… and www.linkedin.com/posts/benmak… #watchdog
Start testing excluded channels for rule violations and find some bugs #watchdog
Fix bug where the bot token would get overridden if there were updates to unrelated fields #watchdog
Finish implementing custom branding for Telegram communities #watchdog
Convince delinquent customer to pay their overdue bill of $59 after 2 weeks of delays and excuses - legitimately thought they had no intention of paying #watchdog
Get approved for $5,000 in additional free AWS credits #watchdog
Make progress on telegram bot refactor to allow API tokens to be chosen dynamically depending on the community (some customers want to use custom bots with their own logo for branding purposes) #watchdog
Revert #watchdog's AI model to the previous model because the new model was straight up dumb despite being much faster to respond
Upgrade customer from $29/mo to $59/mo because he wants a custom bot for his community in order to remove Watchdog's branding 🤑 #watchdog
Fix new error case where X's api sometimes returns "unable to hide post" if a moderator has already removed the post #watchdog
Send out cold DMs and see a 20% response rate #watchdog
Fix very stupid behavior where Telegram doesn't set their own "is bot" flag on system bots like "Telegram Notifications" which then caused Watchdog to not skip those messages -- tg's bot API was truly developed by people on hard drugs 🤦‍♂️ #watchdog
Fix bug where cloning a community would duplicate a bunch of rules because my query was fucked up and I needed to be deduplicating properly #watchdog
