Let the journey begin! 🎉 Ok, it began a while ago, but yesterday we launched our startup's website for our new company Aligre (uh-LEEG-ray) so you all can see what we're building! If you're unsure where the housing market is going, want to get a clearer picture of when to buy or sell your home, but you're not sure what information to trust (there's a lot out there!) or how it all aligns with what you can afford...then you'll want to check out what we’re building. I'll be posting more about it along the way. Please check it out, sign up to be notified when it's ready to try out, and tell your friends! We'd love to have you along for the ride. Coming later this fall. Also, be sure to follow my Co-Founder and our CEO @_NicoLang and @Aligresocial 👉 aligre.com

@ChrisWalshie @alex_norcliffe I mean, you’re not wrong, but if it’s helpful to people too, I’m sure people will. Both can be true.

We've been quietly building the new global infra for agentic personal finance. The first product we are announcing is Context: a hub for your personal financial data you can connect to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-capable agent. More next week... 👉era.app

@Samaytwt Basic on an Apple II e at school. Though didn’t start really coding until Turbo Pascal 7 for DOS in high school.

in which language you wrote your first "hello world"?

@LLMJunky @TheAhmadOsman @0xSero @ivanfioravanti @ZenMagnets @NVIDIAAI Autoresearch!

@HumanCompiler @TheAhmadOsman @0xSero @ivanfioravanti @ZenMagnets @NVIDIAAI idk yet. that's what i need you guys for

Finally proud to announce that I've joined the GPU Minor Leagues. 2 x RTX 6000 Pro. I have six months to pay off the second GPU lol. You are all TERRIBLE influences.

@aryanlabde Yup! That’s because it’s not really vibe coding for us. 😉

Hot take: Vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

@alex_norcliffe Cool, thanks! Hadn’t heard of MX. 👍

@HumanCompiler It's like Plaid if you have heard of them? We never see your bank credentials — you login in to your bank, choose what info to share, and we can then ingest your financial data and enrich centrally from there — mx.com

@alex_norcliffe MX? What’s that? Info?

@HumanCompiler We have turned on MX so far in the US (one of the largest aggregators) with more providers and countries being added

@RealProductGirl Building a home buying/selling decision platform @Aligresocial using AI in new ways to build out the entire company and the product!

I NEED my feed full of builders. What are you working on right now? I don't care if it's a startup or a weekend side project. If you're building something, I want you on my timeline. Reply and let's connect. 👇

pitch me your startup with 0 words.

@WR4NYGov Yup! A lot.

Do you use AI to help write prompts?

@Drewder @farzyness That's my understanding too, but I think people didn't "see" that and thought otherwise. Perception is reality and all that.

@HumanCompiler @farzyness My understanding is this only works if the developer builds the game to be compatible. It isn't overriding the developer intent just enhancing it

Anyone who says 'this looks bad' is completely braindead. This is INCREDIBLE. Also they HAVE to do this because RAM is going to be insanely expensive and no one's gonna be able to afford a new computer/console lmao.

And here's how it was made! So cool. Time Fight! youtu.be/IG-r8EJGttw?si…

Nice! Someone did a linear forward edit. Slightly easier to understand. Still so cool! 😍 youtu.be/mTOsUgJfygI?si…

@marlowxbt Cool, so you moved it all to your own wallet then, right? RIGHT?!?!

AWS sent me a $47 bill. I haven't used AWS in 8 months. Logged in to shut it down. Found one EC2 instance running. Micro. $0.0058 per hour. Someone spun it up in February using my old credentials I forgot to rotate. I was about to terminate it. Then opened the logs. A bot. Running 24/7 since February. Connected to Binance WebSocket and a prediction platform API. Executing trades every 3 minutes. I followed the wallet address from the config file. 0x732F1. $339,140 profit. 38,945 predictions. Joined February 2026. Bio: there are no socials/websites related to this profile. → Wallet: t.me/PolyGunSniperB… Someone used my forgotten $47/month server to run a bot that made $339K. 38,945 trades. 800 per day. BTC moves on Binance. Platform lags 25 seconds. Bot buys old price. Collects $1. Repeat. The code was 26 lines of Python. Clean. No comments. No readme. Just a WebSocket listener, a price comparison and a buy function with a 15 second sleep timer. $339K profit on a $47 monthly server bill. ROI on the server alone: 721,574%. I checked the SSH login history. One IP address. Vietnam. Logged in once in February. Never again. Set the bot. Left. Someone halfway across the world found my exposed credentials, didn't steal my data, didn't mine anything. Just quietly parked a 26 line script on my cheapest server and let it print. I didn't terminate the instance. Changed the password. Sat there reading the logs for 2 hours. The bot is still running. The wallet is still active. $113K in open positions right now. My $47 AWS bill just became the most profitable invoice I never meant to pay.

@BradGroux @upster @fabianwilliams @Aligresocial @MicrosoftTeams @openclaw Looking forward to it! Thanks, everyone!

@upster @HumanCompiler @fabianwilliams @Aligresocial @MicrosoftTeams @openclaw The avatar caching isn't resolved, I've had similar issues, but Teams is operating at the baseline as it should be now (DMs and channel messages both ways). Lots of improvements coming though!

Mac Mini #2 just arrived. This one is an official @Aligresocial machine. Everything I’ve built so far (that I will be posting articles about in the coming weeks) will be run on here (easily setup as a new instance to run our little army of agents) and completely locked down. Stay tuned and be sure to follow for when I start posting the series.

@AlexFinn Agreed. Had the same reaction (to seeing it and then seeing the reactions here on X). WTF?!?!

I see this video live and think “holy f these are the greatest graphics I’ve seen in my life” I go on X and everyone is having a meltdown If the sentiment in America about AI remains this low we are going to be so cooked as a nation

@Natasha_Crain Awesome job! Congrats to him! My son is 18 and doing the same. Hasn't shipped yet though. Most important part. Big accomplishment!

Last month, I shared a bit here about how my 17-year-old son has a passion for video game development and has spent hundreds of hours over the last 9 months creating his first game for release. Well, I want to let you know that Nitro Turtles is now out! It's a party racing game (kind of like Mario Kart) and has 9 courses, a speedrun mode with online leaderboards, and split screen/online multiplayer. My husband and I played all 9 courses against each other last night and IT WAS SO FUN! I'm so proud of him for the accomplishment. He has a really demanding junior year schedule of AP/Dual Credit/Honors classes, has straight As, and somehow managed to develop this all on his own out of pure passion. He started teaching himself programming in 3rd grade and just developed his skills from there. Nitro Turtles in the culmination of all the subsequent years of self-driven learning. If you or your kids play computer games, I would love for you to check the game out on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3952070/Ni…
