@CodeByNZ I tried Bruno, it wasn't feature complete for my needs. I don't hate Postman as an app, I hate the bloat they've introduced. Not every app has to do 100 things...

any alternative to postman ?

@martymadrid 100% would buy this and not even be mad lol

The ultimate toddler gift just dropped

@KayJewelers Sent you a DM.. just to let everyone else know, like most companies they simply said "Contact the card issuer" but doesn't it look cute they responded on social media? All companies are the same...

@mkeefe Please send us a direct message, Matt, so we may connect you with someone who can assist you!

Just informed my first credit card with @KayJewelers was closed with no action on my part, no mailed or emailed notice. Kinda hilarious how horrible some customer service experiences can be.

@icanvardar Stand Up > Meeting

tell me you are a programmer without telling me you are a programmer

Just informed by @JetBlue our flight from MCO was canceled with no warning or reason. Its fine, i'll get a family of 4 home on Sunday... Used to love this airline.

@AsTG08 @Rothmus but thats why the tipping concept exists in the first place (to insure prompt service). Its backwards we pay it after, or for non-service interactions though.

@neilsuperduper Loved the 360 UI. IIRC @F_i designed that UI, along with a bunch of others.

my son asked me, dad why don't people build UI like this anymore. slowly i turned to him, and told him the uncomfortable truth. "we can't, we dont know how to do it."

@noahkagan Problem was buying a condo, buy SFH or multi with no HOA. I agree the S&P can yield better returns in some instances, but not everything is about maximum money. Sometimes its a hobby or interest that turns profitable, other times its providing a roof for a family.

I bought a property in 2017 to Airbnb it. Purchase price: $315,000 Down payment: ~$63,000 Goal: Passive income, baby! Today, I sold it for $377,750. 🥳 BUT let's compare that to the return if I put that $$$ into the S&P 500. For the first 6 years, I made about a 4% cash-on-cash return. Not bad…Until it wasn’t. The last 2 years? ZERO profit. I broke even after repairs, maintenance, and all the joy of being a landlord. So, 8 years later: 💰 Cashflow returns: ~$17,000 🏠 Appreciation: $62,750 🏦 Mortgage paid down: $40,173 🧾 Tax benefits: ~$12,500 📉 Selling & ownership costs: -$116,736 👉 Net profit: $11,390 (Yes, really.) Now let’s say I just put that same $63,000 into the S&P 500 in 2017 and went on with my life… - No leaky toilets. - No surprise HOA roof repairs. - No property managers messaging you at 1AM about parties. Result? 👉 $108,037 in profit Let’s recap: 🏠 Rental ROI: 18% total over 8 years 📈 S&P 500 ROI: 171% total over 8 years That’s a 10x difference. The hidden truth? Owning property can build wealth… But ✅ It is NOT liquid - I had to cover costs for a year while it was listed on the market ✅ Saturation - The market got flooded in Austin with AirBnBs which reduced my returns greatly ✅ Hassles - Even with property managers you will always have issues. ✅ IRR - Compare the returns to OTHER investment opportunities Otherwise, you're working way harder for less return. If I could go back? I'd Index and Chill. Let the S&P 500 do its thing while I focus on business and life. As @Ramit says real estate "can" be great—just don’t let the hype make you think it’s passive or guaranteed to outperform. You really have to understand the full costs and hassles!

@noahkagan They also set a floor price on reselling (when you can't attend) to maximize their fees. Its criminal.

Ticketmaster, Seatgeek, Stubhub, etc.. FEES are OUT OF CONTROL. Can someone please disrupt this 🙏

@josh_tanke I respect the hustle, and definitely see these kids moving to bigger things. Though it should be noted ARR doesn't mean a good product, it means people are easily swayed to easy solutions. Let's see how sticky the product remains.

Two teenagers built a nutrition app using just a camera. No funding. No team. No ads. 12 months later? $8M in ARR. Just snap a meal photo—get calories, macros, and portions. No barcodes. No logging. This is how Cal AI quietly took over food tracking.

@mikefutia @JoeJMarston Thats not how engagement farming works.

@JoeJMarston Just .... post the link to the Notion page?

I owe everyone an apology. Last week I released a resource to help you generate ads on Chat-GPT using JSON code. The response was wild. Nearly 3500 comments across our accounts. LinkedIn doesn’t let you automate DMs so my team spent days manually replying, trying to get the resource into everyone’s hands. It got out of control. Messages flooded in. Inboxes broke. We literally couldn’t keep up. I had to hire a VA just to support with messaging people. So I’m reposting it here (again) so no one misses out: Your plug-and-play system for generating high-performing static ads using AI. What’s inside? ✅ JSON templates for UGC, testimonials, offers & more ✅ Visual + copy placeholders formatted for GPT-4o ✅ Layouts based on top-performing statics ✅ Creative compliance tips ✅ The exact prompt + framework behind a £100k+ campaign If you’re scaling a DTC brand or running performance creative, this is how you speed up production without sacrificing quality.

Trying to land your dream programming job? I can help. Whether you're just starting or already experienced, I'll give real feedback on your approach. No strings, no BS. Just want to give back. DMs open.

@gregmushen While not disagreeing you can do it for less, I noticed in further comments you have fiber (most don't) and you have server experience (most don't). In some cases we pay more to fill skill gaps. I personally use both, just depends on the need and.. I love to tinker with things.

To give you an idea of how expensive cloud has gotten, I picked up a server off FB marketplace today for $500. 128Gb of RAM and a 1Tb SSD. It will cost about $6/month in electricity to run it. An equivalent server in AWS would cost $950/mo. so I'll have payback in two weeks. I'm going to buy a GPU for $600, and the cost of that in AWS would be about $350/mo. I think if someone created a distributed garage hosting network it would kill it.

@LionelMedia Yah, he's not wrong. Paparazzi has always been about their money. Some could argue its a business like any other, but from the celebs perspective I can imagine its tiring. Taylor (et al.) has said similar.

Justin Bieber is not long for this world. What a tragedy.

@sergeynazarovx Father of 5, it can be rough at times, but I would never ask for another outcome. This being said by someone who as a teen was adamant I would never have kids.

I’m happy that I don’t have kids. 👦 I’m already 32, and I see more and more people around me having children. I still don’t feel mature enough for such a responsibility. And the biggest question is: Why should I have a kid? What need would it fulfill? I’m not sure. I don't even know in which country I want to live. People say you will understand it after a child is born. But why can’t I understand it now? After that, I won’t have a choice - I’ll just have to raise the child. I understand this need more clearly when it comes to women. They don’t have as much time to think about it as men do. My wife says it’s because I’m an only child and didn’t see many happy families growing up. I was raised in a village in northern Russia, and most of my childhood friends had alcoholic parents or were raised only by their mothers. As a child, I didn’t think much of it, but now I realize how it has affected me as an adult. When I think about family, these images of struggling families unconsciously come to mind and I'm trying to avoid that situation as much as possible I don't know. Maybe, I need to do some therapy.
