About

I'm Adam Fortuna, a full-stack product developer living in Salt Lake City, UT. I enjoy enlivening experiences, quantifying data and making playful websites. Most of my career was spend teaching people how to program at Code School and Pluralsight. The last 5 years I've been working on my own projects. Lately I've loved working on Hardcover, a modern alternative to Goodreads. If you join give me a follow and feel free to say hi on Discord. 👋

What's the best book you read lately?

Fic of non-fic, just one that made a lasting impression on you.

Do you watch PH launch videos or skip them?

Someone asked if it's worth doing a PH video to show at the start of your launch page. That made me realize that there are probably 1-2 videos I've actually watched until the end. I usually skip to the second pic to see what it's about in 90% of cases. Wondering what others are doing. I feel like a good image could potentially be more relevant. I personally don't have the patience to watch something unless it's *extremely* entertaining.

Are you planning on using GPT4 to roast your site?

Just saw this banger: https://twitter.com/OpenAI/statu... I don't have a Pro account yet but might actually get one. I can't wait to take a screenshot of my landing page and have GPT roast it. How good do you think it will be?
