The gap between a good idea and a shipped product

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 17:45:40 +0000

Most ideas don't need another hundred-feature roadmap.

They need a clear user, a real problem, a small first version and a reliable way to get it into people's hands.

My preferred starting point:

- Define the outcome.
- Identify the smallest useful release.
- Scope the work.
- Build and test.
- Collect feedback.
- Expand only when the evidence supports it.

BrandForge starts with a goal and turns it into an actionable plan. You can also hand execution to developers and other specialists: https://brandforge.gg/

What usually slows your projects down most — unclear scope, implementation or getting users?

PornHub Bash Scripts

A while back I wrote some bash scripts to help create some porn sites for people, here they are.

Code:
# retrieve information about a pornhub video URL
if [ -z $1 ]
then
	echo "Please supply a PH URL (ie; $0 https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=64eea7c904e51"
	exit 1
fi

# get the url (of a video) from user input
# ie; https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=64eea7c904e51

# download to file
#curl -sL -o videoinfo $1

# parse video info
title=$(cat videoinfo |grep -Eo '(.+)<\/title>'|cut -d'>' -f2|cut -d'<' -f1)
tags=$(cat videoinfo |grep -Po "\/video\/search\?search\=\w+\">(\w+)<\/a>"|cut -d'>' -f2|cut -d'<' -f1|tr '\n' ','|sed 's/.$//')
cats=$(cat videoinfo |grep -Po "\'Category\'\)\;\">(\w+)<\/a>"|cut -d'>' -f2|cut -d'<' -f1|tr '\n' ','|sed 's/.$//')

<h1>Show your code editor or IDE!</h1>
<p>Fri, 17 Jan 2025 16:39:41 +0000</p>
<![CDATA[Hey everyone,<br />
I'm curious to see how your code editors and IDEs are set up! What tools are you using, and which add-ons or extensions have become essential in your workflow?<br />
<br />
Personally, I mainly use Visual Studio Code with a few extensions and tweaks. I used to prefer Visual Studio for anything low level but I mainly work with Dart and Python nowadays so VSCode perfectly suits my needs. Especially the automatic generation of commit messages using GitHub Copilot has become a standard I don't want to miss!<br />
<br />
For my terminal, I use iTerm2 paired with Oh My Zsh.<br />

<h1>A Fun Python Progress Bar for Beginners! 🚀</h1>
<p>Wed, 08 Jan 2025 04:20:15 +0000</p>
Hey fellow Python lovers! 🐍<br />
<br />
If you’re new to Python and want to try something simple but cool, I’ve got a fun little project for you: a text-based progress bar! It’s an awesome way to show off how loops, strings, and time delays work in Python, and it looks pretty cool when it runs. 😎<br />
<br />
Here’s the code:<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>import time
import sys

def loading_bar():
    print("Loading...")
    for i in range(101):
        # Simulate the loading progress
        time.sleep(0.1)
        sys.stdout.write(f"\r[{('=' * i).ljust(100)}] {i}%")
        sys.stdout.flush()
    print("\nFinished!")

loading_bar()</code></div></div><br />
So... what does it do?<br />
The program starts with the text "Loading..." to get you hyped! 🏃‍♂️<br />
It runs a loop 101 times (from 0 to 100), simulating the loading process.<br />
Every time it loops:<br />
It waits for 0.1 seconds (time.sleep(0.1)), just like a real loading screen.<br />
It uses sys.stdout.write to print the progress bar on the same line (so it doesn't flood the console with new lines).<br />
The progress bar gets longer with each loop ('=' * i), filling up as it goes.<br />
Once it hits 100%, it prints "Finished!" like a boss. 🎉<br />
Why is this cool?<br />
Loops + Strings: It’s a nice way to get comfortable with loops and string manipulation in Python.<br />
Real-time Output: The magic happens with \r, which lets you overwrite the same line in the console—so it looks like the progress bar is actually filling up.<br />
Time Delay: The time.sleep(0.1) makes the loading feel like it's actually doing something.<br />
<br />
And there goes you lesson for today HAPPY CODING

I've been on it for 2 years, I have information but the dumps I do on the chips are blocked with a hard-coded key on the BROADCOM processor if I could unlock a console in uart or bbs, it doesn't matter I only have this step to go through and it's hard when your team failed you to do commercial iptv, I hated it.<br />
<br />
I have dumps and software for calculating the boxkey aes rsa 3des key etc but I'm stuck on the BROADCOM, forget the jtag, it doesn't work, uart with Bus Pirate would be interesting. Have a nice day.<br />
