"My dear friend Jack Ellis is an unending source of founder inspiration. Not only has he recently started embracing AI agentic coding-something he's been holding back on for quite a bit. I think I've mentioned several times on this podcast alone how he and I seem to have quite opposing views on embracing this technology. But something has clicked, and he's been diving headlong into it. So over the next couple months, hopefully he'll explore it more, and after that, I've been trying to get him to come on this podcast and talk about his experiences. Let's give him time to explore it fully."
"But Jack said something else recently which I found equally interesting and maybe even more generally applicable for all of us software developers building digital businesses. It's just a quote from a tweet of his. He said: "The biggest mistake I ever made was storing our page views and custom events in different database tables. They're now on their way to a single table." Obviously, Jack refers to the wonderful product of Fathom Analytics-something that I highly recommend using for your software products because it's privacy-forward and very easy to use. But what he's talking about here is how the data model they had in the past has been holding him back."
Jack Ellis has begun embracing agentic AI coding after previously holding back. Jack and a close colleague previously had opposing views on adopting this technology, but Jack has recently dived into experimentation and plans to explore it more in the coming months. Jack tweeted that the biggest mistake was storing page views and custom events in separate database tables, and those event types are being migrated into a single table to improve the data model. Fathom Analytics is mentioned as a privacy-forward, easy-to-use analytics product. Paddle is described as a Merchant of Record handling taxes, currencies, and transaction issues.
