10 Reasons Selling AI Tools to Developers is Challenging
Nowadays, everyone (including me) wants to sell AI-powered tools, platforms, or products. Few people (including me 6 months ago) have any idea how hard it is to approach and convince technical people for at least 10 reasons: 1 - They're constantly bombarded with messages. 2 - Everyone sells everything, so supply >>> demand. 3 - Extremely high background noise. 4 - They see an AI-generated message from 10km away (they've trolled me several times). 5 - If they have to go through a demo to try the product, they've already closed the tab. 6 - The opinions of devs, who value any glossy slide, count much more. 7 - Product trials are unforgiving; it's like being in court accused of 16 murders. If they find bugs or poor performance at that point, for them the product is broken and the window closes. 8 - They always have a plan B: I'll make it myself. Only 9 - If you don't have a solid track record (or you studied biotech like me), everything is 10x harder. 10 - Like the MasterChef judges, who used to be just chefs and now are atomic hotties, today's CTOs and top devs are stars; literally everyone wants them. It seems easier to scale a dev tool today because there are infinite tools, but in reality it's really tough. On the one hand, you have to earn the trust of technical teams through intros, messages, calls, and events; on the other, you have to scale at the speed of light because you're only six months old. Advice, ideas, scathing comments, insults? Anything goes. \*Not true

Why People Turn to AI for Art: A Deeper Look
Why do people use AI for art? Before anything, this isn’t about debating whether AI art is “real” art. I’ve already shared my personal take on my last post. This is about something simpler and, I think, more human: why people are drawn to it in the first place. I’ll be honest. I used to mock people who used AI for art. I saw it as a shortcut, a lack of effort, even a lack of creativity. It felt easy to dismiss. But as someone who creates in a different medium, writing novels, I started wondering about the motivation behind it. Not the output, but the “why.” After spending time digging into discussions, patterns, and people’s own explanations, I started noticing something deeper. For many, it ties back to how they grew up. A lot of people didn’t have the freedom to explore creativity as kids. Academic pressure, strict expectations, or environments where only “practical” success mattered often pushed curiosity and artistic exploration aside. For some, even trying to pursue something creative was discouraged or punished. That kind of upbringing doesn’t just disappear. It follows people into adulthood. You end up with individuals who feel disconnected from creativity, not because they lack imagination, but because they were never given space to develop it. Trying to learn a creative skill later in life can feel risky, even uncomfortable, especially when it’s tied to the idea that it might not lead to financial stability. Then something like AI tools shows up. Suddenly, there’s a way to express ideas visually without years of training, without the fear of “wasting time,” and without revisiting that pressure. For some, it’s the first time they can take something from their imagination and actually see it exist. That experience can feel new, almost like rediscovering something they never got to have. So when you see a flood of AI-generated art online, it’s not just about technology. For many people, it’s about access. It’s about finally having a low barrier to expressing something internal. That doesn’t mean everyone using AI has the same background or reasons. But reducing it to “laziness” or “lack of creativity” misses a much bigger picture. In some cases, making fun of people for using these tools ends up hitting something more personal than we realize. Curious to hear what others think. What do you see as the main reasons people turn to AI for art?
