if you don't ship with cloud coding agents yet, ngmi so just lyk: Ariana is the best way to launch and manage them from your phone & desktop and it's all using your Claude Code or Codex subscription

@satvikputi nice hat

I joined a startup as a Product Builder. This role didn’t exist 12 months ago. I literally manifested this role for the last 12 months. The CTO was impressed by a product my team built at a hackathon 3 weeks ago. Now, everyday is a hackathon. Most of my work is in French. I’m tired at the end of each day. Operating at the edge of my capabilities. Playing with our mascot is my favourite work break. More on this coming soon.

@AdvicebyAimar @FedericoNoemie @AibyImi @Remotion @posthog 🙏 Ariana is especially appealing to solo builders compared to others as its greatly customizeable, cheap and bring your own claude code/codex

build most of the tools i use myself but here are some i would recommend ! @Remotion for video editing ( works through claude code ) x api for managing / sourcing leads ( build a script that puts it a csv or crm ) @posthog for analytics parse.bot from @alexscraping - turns any website into an api. ariana.dev from @AniC_dev - running ai agents in the cloud skills.sh for any custom automations like seo, outreach etc. @agentmail for email inboxing /outreach.

building a list of the best tools for solo founders, what should I add?

this has been in Ariana since december btw

just noticed the convo between my russian CTO and the russian speaking designers he found these guys do incredible work btw

@DibMG101 @alightinastorm well look at crimson desert. apparently they solved bugs in 30 minutes after reporting these guys look like a bunch of startupers with claude code on, organized as a massive studio unthinkable in europe

@AniC_dev @alightinastorm Asia's treating this completely differently correct?

the anti AI crap in gaming is retarded and the people are mislead there is a weird assumption where somehow a specific abstraction point pre-AI is magically considered skill based you can literally buy blueprints on unreal engine, put some glue between them and build your game, which is actually much easier than directing and instructing an AI to build things from scratch together make it make sense

@alightinastorm yep they're provably gonna let themselves die in front of ai augmented studios overseas and at home, or survive long enough for capabilities to be so good its unjustifiable to keep relunctant team members

@AniC_dev yep, it just makes no sense to fight it

this is gonna get so fucking big

had a call with a lawyer for advice turns out he was a claude code + VPS user ended up selling Ariana to him everyone will build with cloud coding agents

@timsoret its aesthetic is quite addictive

What a city. The light is very special there.

@turbofakesmile american cities look like chips

just raw scaling something that was done in 60-90s in the modern world is a legit and honest entrepreneurial endeavour, if you ain’t selling it as super duper puper technologia. but i’ll never gonna do that myself, it’s just boring. being bored or not being rich before UBI happens - the latter is less scary. riskmaxxing will always be better form of natural evolution for a human bro like me, and i truly believe everyone should be more urgent on what are they looking for during time you alive.

@alightinastorm i see, why not, you're more french than you might think robot ;-)

@AniC_dev no you can join us and mock them publicly all day, at least have fun when you're exploited

madam this is cool we need a full solution though we need it fast weeks level fast investment, overiding labor laws for early stage startups, centralizing taxes, ditching needs for accounting at small scales, allowing remote work, and less guardrails overall everything must be automated and done via API, every problem and friction must be solvable with money rhather than time until then this is worth near nothing, the rest of the world will keep crushing us with all the other advantages they have and we will never have let's offer something so good, so simple, so new, that no one can compete. all it costs is agreeing on it, that's all this is very important

@alightinastorm we can see it like that and go depressed i guess then

@AniC_dev unless you belong to the permanent nobility class of europe, don't expect to ever see any improvements for you, ever

@alightinastorm doesn't matter good or bad we have to fight regardless or suffer under the scam

@AniC_dev it's not a good reason, i just can't

@alightinastorm yeah well that's basically it so many good reasons to not be able to leave so then what should we do, accept the scam? rage against it? hopelessly blasting ideas? wait for the downfall and endure it?

@AniC_dev i didn't because i can't right now

@alightinastorm the problem is that no one in the world offers a compeling solution really proof is you didn't leave europe either

@AniC_dev you're just a few more steps away from understanding the scam in europe just a few more disappointments

we've backed 304 founders. 50% were international. France, Canada, Argentina, India, New Jersey... none of them got funded because of where they live. they got funded because they posted what they were building. who's next?

@donatelli2026 have a girl already and tell her to come once she arrives at your hacker house that's it, you've found a girlfriend in san francisco

question for the tech bros: what's the best way to find a girlfriend in San Francisco?

@chaserobbinss 🙏 you rock man

@AniC_dev let me try again and give you more useful feedback

why cloud coding agents companies need to make their own sandboxing tech (why Ariana did it): 1) speed: Ariana was the first agent orchestrator to have agent with sudo on a full VM with any language, agent forking, full disk snapshoting, gaming grade desktop streaming. if we had waited for the sandbox providers to implement all we've needed the last 6 months we'd be starting to build Ariana not even now (no one else has our level of instant, fluid streaming yet) 2) if you make a margin, your sandbox provider makes a margin, his bare metal provider makes a margin, then the consumer pays the compute at least 10 to 100x what its worth. in practice, for $45 Ariana offers 3000 hours of a 8 core, 16gigs VM (and makes a margin), which is about what using cloud coding agents for real everyday requires while for the same compute, dedicated sandboxes services bill $1200!!! and a recently launched agent orchestrator built on top bills almost $2000 the market is too early, the consumer hasn't realized yet. for now he picks the flashy first movers but features on an orchestrator's roadmap get increasingly tougher to engineer, more expensive staying lean, small, and making things ourselves as we go that's how Ariana will win long term
