The Side Project Guy

Decided to do a little rebranding from only building ExoSource and reshaping this account to just be myself, building in public, trying new things, sharing ideas, etc. Following along if you want to watch my journey!

@Its_Nova1012 What do you think your turning point was from tweeting at no one to generating traction? # of replies or just waiting for the viral moment?

My 28 days X stats (while working a full-time job). • 800+ new followers • 8.9M impressions • Got monetized Started focusing more on making one of my posts go viral too now.

@luc_moetwil Launch in parallel? Focus on getting people to waitlist and allow those really interested to get in for real feedback? Just spit ballin. Hope it goes well!

Our mobile app MVP is almost ready. Should we: A) launch a landing page + waitlist first
B) just ship it and see what happens Curious what worked for you

@quxiaoyin Humans aren’t gonna go extinct lol. This is a lazy take. If anything UI/UX should me more tailored for humans while focusing back end compatibility for agents

If your product is still designed for human via UI, RIP

@gregisenberg Sometimes I open this app and feel so bar behind then I remember most people are just using ChatGPT or Claude in the browser for basic Q/A. Helps me stay grounded with the speed

reminder that you’re not behind, it’s just moving too fast

@mscode07 Not a specific project but I just launched a personal portfolio site for me to share my builds more visually. Exosourcemedia.com/?=v2

hey founders, building in public is where the magic happens drop your current project below👇 let's connect and grow together

@LuizaJarovsky I think print media will make a massive come back (kinda already is)

Nobody wants to read AI-generated books.

@kapilansh_twt Sometimes if the feature was small I’ll build out two features, one review & one simplify. Removing dependencies & optimizing for smoothness are my favorite parts of the code review lol

@BuildTestShipAI this is good but do you ever feel tempted to skip the simplify step when things just work? 😅

vibe coding is just a fancy term for "I have no idea what my codebase does" → AI writes 400 lines → you don't read it → it works → you ship it → 3am production fire → you have no idea where to start → ask AI to fix it → AI breaks 3 other things we're not building faster we're just breaking things at the speed of light and calling it innovation

@yashhq_22 Both while also working a corporate job lol

As a solo founder, you have 3 options: – code all day – market like crazy – burn out doing both What are you doing?

@luc_moetwil Thats a cool idea. Will shoot you a follow would love to check it out whenever its ready

@BuildTestShipAI that’s a nice use case i like those kinds of tools that come from a real need i’m building an app around helping people ask their parents meaningful questions before it’s too late trying to turn it into something people actually use daily instead of putting it off

Playing around with making some iOS apps today. Anyone have some pointers or tips?

@quionie Not tech but gotta give robinhood there cred here

in your opinion, which tech companies have the most recognizable branding? like you see one pixel and you already know for me it’s anthropic apple google netflix figma

@BorisVagner The bug is real. I basically evaluate everything in “could I use claude codd to fix this” given the rate we can build now

Claude Code is on another level right now. Set up Dispatch yesterday - was adding features, shipping updates, building from my phone with zero friction. Two hours ago they dropped Discord + Telegram channels. Just got this set up and holy cow it's amazing. Being able to work through Discord now having different channel organization while still using CLI is huge. As a non-dev founder running a startup what a time to be alive. Claude Code actually works. You can just build things. Bullish.

@aralin_eth @tomfgoodwin This is such an incredible answer.

Agents are basically a synonym for memory context window. We assign model and skills and some other context to agent and with that base context we send him to do a series of tasks. Now if something else needs to be done, we switch context, same as in any other multi-tasking. It would be more costly to try to build the context from scratch every time and it would lead to errors if irrelevant stuff like skills and conversation history was present in agent’s memory as it sends the whole thing to LLM model with additional prompt. So we separate into multiple context windows that we store separately and call it agents just to anthropomorphize it.

I’m surely being stupid. But if AI is rather unconstrained by expertise or capacity or to some extent speed Why do we need to divide tasks or departments to 9 agents ( the marketing agent, the optimization agent etc ) to each do one thing. And then another agent to manage the swarm. Cant one agent just be doing it all you know. It seems very skeuomorphic. Will we have HR agents to make sure the agent agents are being looked after ? A office canteen manager agent to feed the agents ? Seems daft

@mattshumer_ Just build this whole personal portfolio page and I’m worried to run this in fear of being told its just slop lol. Super cool tool though, definitely will check out.

Introducing UNSLOP! Stop your AIs from generating SLOP. For example, ask it to 'unslop landing pages'. It'll generate hundreds of sites and find 'slop' patterns, then build a skill to make sure they are NEVER seen again. Open-source! Star it here: github.com/mshumer/unslop

There is nothing for humbling then spending an hour iterating over a little animation to get 5 views 🤣🤣

Spent some time building out my personal portfolio site. No real goals with it. Just gonna be documenting random projects or things I’m building Please check it out! Feedback greatly appreciated. Linked below

@hello_code_ Completely agree. I’ve gotten way better at slowing down building & doing more product research first

The more I build, the i understand that distribution is everything? Any other builders feeling that lately?

@Its_Nova1012 Just started mine. Its a grind lol

73 days of showing up on X. Results: • 1.5K followers • 9.4M impressions • Monetized Consistency compounds.

@KettlebellDan Once y’all handle the bot accounts this app will be perfect

how likely are you to recommend 𝕏 to a friend?
