TALARICOOOOOOO #TX

We need a Talarico win in Texas. Flipping a TEXAS senate seat in the midterms would be a sweet succulent victory for democracy.

Slot out #LFC

As a developer I’ve used ChatGPT for a long time. I switched to Claude in January purely because the vibes felt so good. I feel so vindicated by my decision to switch now lol Anthropic has won my respect.

I can’t believe millions of people voted for this chaos again. It’s hardly been a year and it’s been the longest year of my life. Terrible tragedies on a weekly basis.

@petehegseth

Fucking crazy that ABC is obeying the FCC in advance of any actual laws or rules being passed and enforced. They prevented Colbert from airing his James Talarico interview on TV. Republicans are scared to lose Texas!

I just finished my yearly workplace harassment training. And at the end it said that even stuff you say or post outside of work can still be judged by the same standards. Okay so tell me why our President is posting the Obamas as monkeys on the internet?

Fuck yeah I get to watch #KOTSK today

It's been awhile since I've used the bluesky app a lot. It really is beautifully designed. I love the aesthetic. Props to the team 🫡

Just watched Train Dreams finally Beautiful film. Made me feel things I think I needed to feel right now. Gonna buy the book asap.

Building apps on the side can be fun. But when life gets busy and you get in those overwhelming periods, nothing makes me feel more guilty than knowing I won’t be working on my project as much as I’d like to.

Claude Code is actually crazy The amount I’m able to build… I have a new app coming out and what would usually be an mvp is a full fledged, polished product. With tons of supporting features, or hidden utilities that users don’t even see.

Currently a little sick and majorly depressed about what's happening in the world. I've found comfort in some good books. #booksky Currently reading Project Hail Mary and laughing, enjoying, and feeling cozy in my bed.

Damn I woke up to @donlemonofficial.bsky.social getting arrested for… doing journalism? Every day we stoop to a new low.

Is there a #booktok presence on Bluesky? #booksky? Would love to connect with more bookish accounts. I’ll have to have a gander at the starter packs.

Okay so Google just settled a major lawsuit because Android devices *were* indeed listening to people’s conversations in order to recommend advertisements…

I pay for Claude code max personally but use Gemini free tier at work The difference is rage inducing

I have been developing consumer apps and have built up a small portfolio of products. I don’t make a lot of money, but I’m proud of my efforts. And it’s safe to say on here, that I am now exploring products that are explicitly anti fascist. One idea I am very excited about has to do with reading 📚

Haven’t been on Bluesky for seven months, but I’m back! I’ve been building an apps business, reading a ton, and training in the gym. And also FUCK ICE

I’ve been slowly working on my iOS app for months. My day job has been stressful, but I’ve been able to work on my app two to three times a week. I’m aiming to launch in a month! I’m so close!

Work got crazy for a few months and I’m finally on the other side of it. I feel like I’ve gotten my life back. I teetered on the edge of burnout. And i worked with people that worked more hours than me, and i don’t understand how they aren’t burnt out.

I’ve been getting obsessed with cooking and my latest obsession: donuts! Should I start a donut pop up 👀

Watching horror movies with my cats is funny because chaos and fear are leaping from the screen and they simply yawn during their nap. They know not what terrors haunt our living room.

Reminder that you really should never sell during these market down turns. A good way to prevent yourself from feeling you need to sell is to keep a good, liquid emergency fund. It’s boring but it works.

Kinda crazy how the entire world seems to be stressed and experiencing mild psychosis all at the same time,m

Very proud of Cory Booker.. what he’s doing is exactly the type of nonviolent protest we need right now. We need more people to stand up to Trump’s bullying. Trump’s tactics only work if we don’t fight back.

I’m working towards releasing a mobile app and I’m kind of glad I’m getting to the end. It will most likely make very little money, unfortunately. But I shipped something! That’s the goal. I’m still passionate about the project, which is why I’m getting over the finish line.

The Dalai Lama walks into a pizza shop and says: “Can you make me one with everything?”

I am primarily a frontend dev but I’ve picked up some design ability over the years. Wondering if I should lean into that and go deep into design and figma. Seems like there is a lot of demand for design consulting. Also, I’ve been very interested in Product Engineer roles when I imagine my future

Got one

when i was young & desperate for a job i went to an 'interview' that ended up being about selling heavy, expensive vacuum cleaners door to door- very clearly a scam targeting the elderly. the SSA stuff happening now makes me think about the lies those guys had to tell themselves about what they do

Refactoring the entire social security system from COBOL to java… in months? Did DOGE hire my old project manager?

The For You tab on X is a window into a dystopian reality.. it’s absolutely insane how much propaganda it pushes. I’m getting to the point where I want to delete the app in protest.

Dark mode icons! #buildinpublic #ios #swift

My cats, ghiblified

Currently trying to stay off X for 24 hours

I pretty much fully built a web app that lets you look up someone’s Bluesky name and lets you sort their posts by likes, reposts etc Should I release it? #buildinpublic #bluesky #indiehacker

I have a lot of political feelings. But I want to be an online indie hacker. Should I make a separate account for politics? 🤔

100% writing fiction novels and developing video games is the end goal. But I feel the need to acquire safety capital first. Hopefully I can get some businesses off the ground over the next couple years 🤞

Thoughts on this for an app icon? #BuildInPublic #ios #indiehacker #figma

New client gig likes to add meetings before start of work day with almost zero notice… how do people think this is okay (remote environment with many different time zones represented btw)

okay diva

Started meditating and I don’t really know what I’m doing. But I’ve felt good lately overall.

Dawg we need more builders that originated from X to join bsky. We have a good amount but we need just a fewwww more. We gotta foster this community because it could lead to a golden age on a platform like this.

I feel like I figured out a good pricing model for my app- a month or two out from launch. In all likelihood that will need to change. I feel good about it tho: $1.49/m $8.99/y $19.99 lifetime #iosdev #swift #appledev #buildinpublic
