Who is the best security research/pen tester you know and that I should talk to? I want to create the go-to guide for VPS security.

kind of impressed what a single post can do

Do you use any memory/task management MCP's?

I've never had anything to do with the movie industry... ...but for two years I built software used by billion dollar production companies and some of the best talent agencies and producers in the world. You can just build things as an outsider. Your niche can be autism.

"how could this have happened?"

I noticed something weird: bad devs = bad vibe coders great devs = great vibe coders exceptional devs = horrible vibe coders

I don't have a lot of followers at all and barely even grow here, most of my tweets get like 100 impressions. I beg you to just post like once a week and reach out to people. It'll change your life. 99% of all the opportunity in the past two years came from here.

Don't have good ideas? Just ship something. A tool, a website, a real-time transcription app, a full fledged steam scraper so you and your friends can get better game recommendations than on Steam. Your ideas will get better the more you do.

Devs: you type 60-100 WPM. You speak 150-180 WPM. What's stopping you from just speaking into Cursor?

Tracking workouts sucks. Pen and paper sucks and all the apps I've tried also suck. I just want to workout while I'm in the gym and yet still have everything magically tracked...

One thing I learned from taking a long time off is that, no matter how autistic you are, you need hobbies in your life other than building stuff and you absolutely need to spend time with people who aren't builders. It will replenish creativity faster than anything else

the real litmus test to know if you'll survive in the AI utopia is moving to the countryside. if you're bored and don't know what to do with your life you're ngmi go play some more minecraft and figure it out

What are your favorite tools that you think have a super fair price and respect you as a user?

Screen studio is such a nice product. You can just buy it once, get updates for a year, but own it forever.

My gf is really good at cooking so she is now cooking a meal planner app for us

'i will refactor later, trust me'

just bought sanetools.com and will make it a simple directory for tools that respect you: 1. no subscriptions if not necessary 2. if sub is necessary, it should have a sane price 3. no shady things or dark pattern bullsh*t (sorry adobe) what else should I filter for?

I haven't coded for over two months. This is the longest I've gone without coding since I was 13 and it feels weird.

Bought new macbooks for gf and me. A while ago when we decided to take a serious break, we wiped and sold our macbooks We're starting from 0 again. She wants to be a coder and indie hacker, so technically I'll be a duopreneur from now on.

I think one of the most interesting learnings of Genie 3 + SIMA is that generalists beat specialists and it's not even close. Maybe this will also hold true for humans over the next few decades.

Ok, fk it, time to build again. After exiting my last startup, I thought I'd just take some time off and travel, but oh boy my brain doesn't shut up about building stuff. On to new shores and fresh ideas.

Let's stop making everything a damn subscription. Thank you for your attention.

It is with great pleasure to inform you that I am an engaged man

I'm 30, eat healthy, workout 5x a week, touch grass, go to the sauna, don't have money problems and enjoy building companies. Last week I thought I got a flu (it wasn't), had to go to ER and now have heart damage. Waiting for someone to pull off the VR glasses so I can leave a bad review.

Hailuo just casually dropped an llm with 4 MILLION token context length. You can put 30 full length novels into that context length. We're now just one OOM away from putting the whole source code of an operating system in the context window.

So, I don't get this phenomenon where companies build something great (e.g. @browsercompany @RewindAI) High usage, great pmf, even with revenue or high potential. Then they just abandon it in favor of something nobody asked for. At least make it open source when you move on...

It took almost a week, multiple support tickets and dozens of emails to fulfill a simple quota increase from 0 to 24 vCPU's in Azure. This is madness

A lot of the worlds problems and suffering are caused by shitty fathers

Wow, how can Azure exist with that UX...?

If you're building something sufficiently complex, LLM's are still just utterly useless...

Happy new year everyone - may the agents be with you.

O1 Pro via agent in Cursor when?

I need a keyword list to delete all politics from my timeline that I only deactivate once a week.

generating commit messages with copilot: *51 files changed, +32238, -6321 lines changed* 'Refactored button component ✨'

The best hedge against being replaced is working on something you love more than anybody else, not matter what.

SWE is over. Marketing is also over. All those specialized, one-sided jobs are all over. Useless in a world of specialized agents. I waited my whole life for this. What remains are ideas, principled aesthetics and technical understanding to lead. The future will be great.

A lot of people disagree, but I think @levels.io is right: real estate is dumb. In Germany, people think it's the pinnacle of investing. Unless you have your own construction company or you're a mortician you'll pay too much, spend a crap ton on taxes and waste your time.

OpenAI launching O3 and O3-mini. It's happening guys.

Ultrawides are underappreciated

...is it normal for your heartrate to go down to 38 at night? Asking for a friend lol

Built this tool in the morning: Did you ever wonder why your sleep sucks? Might be because your caffeine levels are still way too high when you go to sleep. Link below 👇

The thing that bugs me about German bureaucracy isn't just that it's so goddamn unwieldy, it's that the people upholding are sassy assholes about it. "You have to file Document 21958 with subdocument 2845 in conjuction with document 1925? What's so hard about that? Takes maximum 2 hours." 💀

There is no better feeling than feeling like 💩 in the morning and pounding a double espresso

What did you get done this weekend?

actual unpopular opinion: if you're not traveling, coding on an ultrawide is MUCH better.

Bryan Johnson dying from anything but an accident would be such a crazy net negative for the world, since people would probably correlate everything he did with being useless - when in reality, it was only one too few nighttime erections.

It's such an MVP move to casually drop those weights to HF within OpenAI's flashy marketing week. This unlocks so many use cases for extremely sensitive industries that require fully-private on-prem intelligence. Think about your local doctor being able to run this in his office.

The whole Hawk Tuah thing is a good example of how vitally important it is whom we lend our attention. When somebody told me that the meme girl had a huge successful podcast with millions of listeners, I thought they were joking. Stop following clout. Start following value.

So, turns out O1 is... meh. Who would've know that if you put handcuffs on one of the best basketball players in the world, they will play like shit.
