You’ve probably seen hot-takes like “SEO is dead; nobody will click through once the AI answer appears.”
The conversation resurfaces on HN every time Google demos a new LLM feature.
I run a weekly “SEO Myth Busting” newsletter for founders and just published a deep dive on this claim.
Key findings (with sources & graphs in the article)
90 % of SaaS sign-ups in our sample still come from classic organic clicks (the SGE panel links back).
Google’s own ad-revenue dependence makes full zero-click AI answers unlikely
Traffic is shifting: generic content farms lose, trusted brands win.
That’s an opportunity for small, expert products.
Happy to answer technical questions in the thread.
It's 2 different things to have a to-do list and use the Pomodoro technique.
The first one is made to plan your day and clear your mind, whereas the latter is made to help you go through that list while being as productive as possible.
I use a variant of the Pomodoro technique: instead of having strict breaks when the time is over, I just receive a sound notification at the end of the focus and the end of the breaks.
Then, every 10 minutes, I get a new notification.
It's a small mod but it changes a lot my perception of the technique. It creates a lot less frustration as I can finish the task I am working on without losing track of the time passing.
I coded a web version of this variant here: https://focusplus.io
You can try it, it's 100% free (still in the early days tho)
