When you have to grind a tired late night coding session, Katy Perry 'The One That Got Away' beat is infectious and keeps the energy up.

I think people should be able to build what they want on their land. Provided they are following reasonable laws. If people don’t want to allow something they should have a process to change the law. But it should be hard enough that we don’t default to loudest voice wins and we can’t build anything due to NIMBY pressure.

What do you guys think about the big data center in Box Elder?

@joelgascoigne love the honesty. Not everything is up and to the right. But taking time to build something great is definitely Lindy. Means you will be around for a while!

Today we crossed $25M in ARR at Buffer, a significant milestone for us 🎉 This one has extra meaning for me because now that we're above $25M we're closer to $30M than we are to $20M. This comes after spending literally ~8 years around that $20M number. You see, at Buffer we've had a very unconventional path to this $25M milestone. This isn't your typical up-and-to-the-right success story. Our path from $20M to $25M included a detour of declining back to $18M while we found ourselves and recommitted to our mission, customers, and values. Here's the journey we've been on: It took us 5.5 years to reach $10M Another 3 years to reach $20M Another 6 years to reach $20M.. again 🎢 😅 Just 15 months to reach $25M 🎉 It's been a wild and at times very challenging journey, but I wouldn't change a thing, because we've never felt stronger as a company and this is reflected in our trajectory to $25M. If fact we only just crossed $24M two months ago. We have a ton of good stuff coming to existing and new customers in the coming months. We're using our growth and success to make Buffer the most simple, powerful and generous product we can.

@pcshipp send me the link, I'll do a free product roast and give you 5 ideas.

It’s been 25 days, and this app still has no ASO growth - $0 MRR - 0 active user - 21 new users I’m feeling sad because I spent 2 months building this app

@ErnestoSOFTWARE What are your top three things you look at when you're looking for a validated niche? '→ just make an app in a validated niche' Thanks!

Close to a $10,000/week with this app It’s really not hard guys: → just make an app in a validated niche → Post 10/vids per day to find the viral formats. → Once viral format is found spam that 10 times per day → Use those earnings to hire 1-2 UGC creators to spam with you → Repeat and keep hiring → Run winning content on ads I promise you, it’s that simple

@scottew I mean to be honest when his eyesight was failing, they lean a little more to the artistic side? :)

accidentally convincing a bunch of people that Monet is bad

@scottew time to cut some family members off

Just realized this morning that my Netflix family subscription is up to $29 a month. They have reached the "not sure it's worth it" level.

I've never heard of them. It is auto generated from google reviews. reddit.com/r/smallbusines… And you can buy your own plaque for like 30 bucks plaquemaker.com/products/laser… So maybe save the money and just give yourself an award for being the #1 ranked plumber in Spanish Fork, on Google!

There is a 99.99% chance that they mail this to every business and they are just selling plaques. That being said, I’m very honored to be the best of 2026 business rate.

New scam alert. I'm currently on the phone with a scammer (from a burner number) While I'm talking to them, I'll explain how this Robinhood crypto scam works: I got the classic “There’s an issue with your account, call this number” text. NEVER CALL A 'SUPPORT' NUMBER you get from a random text. But I wanted to see how the scam worked. So I called the number on a burner. They had a polished recorded intro to sound legitimate. Then the first person (the setter) asks a series of qualifying questions: things like “What’s your account balance so we can verify you?” and “Are your holdings stocks or crypto?” The goal is to weed out anyone without enough crypto to be worth scamming Once they decide you’re a target, they transfer you to their “security team.” That person throws around technical-sounding terms “keylogger,” “public Wi‑Fi,” “malware,” “fraud prevention,” “scam protection”, to make the story that your account has been compromised feel credible and to push you into a panicked, compliant state. Then comes the actual theft. They tell you to download a crypto wallet app they supposedly “partner with.” Next, they send you a seed phrase for a wallet (that obviously they control) as a way to 'link your account'. If you transfer your crypto there, thinking you’re 'securing' it, you’re actually handing them your funds. zero way to get them back. One especially smart part of the script: they warn you in advance that have put up “scam warnings,” in the app to mislead the “other scammers already in your account.” That matters because when you try to transfer crypto, legitimate platforms often show fraud warnings. Their script is designed to preempt those warnings and train you to ignore the last real safety check. At this point in time I told them how their scam worked and asked if they couldn't use their talents to benefit the world instead of stealing peoples money. The scammer actually paused and was real for a few seconds. Core lessons: 1. Never call a number you get sent claiming to be support. it's a scam. 2. If anyone claiming to be support tells you to move crypto to a new wallet, it’s a scam.

@bobybarack @JessePeplinski 404 on your site in your bio just fyi

@JessePeplinski Hey Jesee I'm a founder too tryna learn how distribution works so would be nice seeing how others handle it

I’ve been on X since Dec. 2010 on and off, but I only recently started actually building here. Two weeks ago I had ~170 followers. Now I’m at 383, mostly builders, founders, engineers, and people shipping. So I’m pinning this: drop your handle, what you’re building, and who you’re trying to meet. Let’s connect and help each other ship. 🚀

@JessePeplinski I'm Josh. Building shared team checklists for dental teams (office managers LOVE us) @mintchecklist I love Oreos. Like... a lot.

@hey_mindi how did you get started?

Shipping out my 995th order since I started reselling 1 year ago. I do this part-time, mostly on my phone, at the tippy top of a mountain. My hands are always full. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

@datanotion congratulations! Never seen a deer antler (deer I don't know) save the date but love it.

My youngest is finally engaged - he's waited for this for a long time. Proud papa moment, and I adore my new daughter. 💙 Needless to say she was excited.

@IFindTheLost @jaredadairbell newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/ldsnewsroom/en…

@jaredadairbell Why would a church not be open to anyone who wants to come in?

People will ask where I’m from since I travel so much. I tell them Utah and many respond “Oh, beautiful. I’ve always wanted to visit there.” Every time, I tell them to “Go in 2027. You know that temple they have? It’ll be open to the public. You can actually go inside and see everything, which rarely happens.” Easy.

@theoliverxp how do you find where to send the demand letter?

I started logging calls and sending demand letters for TCPA violations (I have been on the DNC list for 14 years). First time I did this, the company paid me $1500 and this year another company's legal counsel "called my bluff" so I filed suit, settling weeks later for $7500. Many are hard to track down, using virtual mailboxes and registered agents, etc - but there are ways to find them. These dirtbags must pay.

@Omorphia1 these are amazing

No AI. Made these in SketchUp & Vray with real effort and too much coffee.

Have you seen this video? Obviously the director of trucking is biased but they have seen that 50% of the trucking needs in the US gets TCO breakeven in 5 years, and some routes much faster. And that was before the oil shocks and the price of diesel increased. I found it very interesting. youtube.com/watch?v=AECilQ…

I understand your point with cable drives though a beveled gear reduction utilizing ceramic bearings could prevent adverse cable speeds with only marginal effect on overall efficiency. A side benefit is torque is multiplied through gear reduction ultimately aiding generator spool up efficiency and lower operating speeds would allow more simple and efficient generators both of which could potentially offset frictional losses from the gear reduction with efficiency gains on the generator side. I’m fairly certain heat wasn’t the only issue driving costs and complexity as manufacturing a generator to operate at such extreme rpms had to create incredibly serious engineering hurdles though I expect you know more than I do in that arena.

Elon Musk just weaponized gravity. The entire trucking industry has a physics leak bleeding billions. Musk just sealed it. Most people look at the Tesla Semi and see a cleaner diesel. A truck that swapped a gas tank for a battery. That is a complete misread of the physics. Musk: “Let’s say you’re going over a mountain range. In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.” For a century, freight has fought gravity twice on every mountain. A diesel truck burns thousands of dollars in fuel clawing its way to the peak. It arrives at the summit loaded with enormous gravitational potential energy. And what does it do with that energy? It throws it away as heat. Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.” Diesel burns twice. Fuel going up. Hardware coming down. A century of logistics, and the descent was never anything but a cost to be survived. The Tesla Semi doesn’t survive the descent. It harvests it. Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.” Regenerative braking doesn’t just slow the truck. It converts 80,000 pounds of downhill momentum into raw electricity flowing back into the battery. The mountain stops being an obstacle. It becomes a power plant. Here is the thermodynamic reality the market is missing. Diesel is closed on the descent. There is no version of a combustion engine that turns downhill momentum back into liquid fuel. It is structurally impossible. Electric is open in both directions. The same system that spends energy to climb gets paid on the way down. Wall Street keeps pricing the Tesla Semi on a cost-per-mile comparison. Kilowatts versus gallons. They are solving the wrong equation. You cannot win a price war against a machine that bills the planet for its own fuel.

@heshie @austin_rief did you see the article about Berkshire's money manager who got the job after buying lunch with Buffet twice? npr.org/2011/09/13/140…

@austin_rief if you have that money to spend on a lunch, you should also be able to figure out a way to talk to them without paying I don’t think the people that buy these ever actually do the lunch

You can buy a lunch with Warren Buffett, Steph, and Ayesha Curry. Current high bid: $70,100

@Pauline_Cx @tibo_maker Just subscribed to your newsletter!

My business journey: 2015-2024: worked at IBM. Stable job, great salary. 2020: started building on the side, made some freelancing. Nights, weekends. No clear plan. 2021: started X, inspired by @tibo_maker. Launched my first projects in crypto space. My bots traded for myself and made good money but I never found a single customer to sell crypto alerts. 2022: Built more, tried things I didn't launch. Got some traction on a AI SaaS to create fun images. 2023: Sold my first project, the AI one for $3k, and killed some failed ones. Built and launched IACrea several months later. Got first real traction ❤️ 2024: IACrea was recognized in real estate sector, crossed €100k revenue 🎉 2025: partnered and launched on 3 other SaaS: - @refindie_com to manage affiliates as it's one of my main acquisition channel - @feedbask_com as customer support became heavier and I needed a shared mailbox - @subclip_app as I needed subtitles on my video and dubbed video for my SaaS tutorials 2026: still experimenting, still often unsure. Growing my SaaS. Loving all of them. I never had a big viral moment, nor an overnight success, but I try to get SaaS better everyday. (It's not my gold bar, but I heard you get lucky by touching gold)

Interestingly enough the stone box was witnessed by several people, and several other people in the surrounding community said they too had seen the box, and used that as evidence to agree that Joseph Smith did had the plates and demand them from him. Source: newspapers.lib.utah.edu/ark:/87278/s6j…

@DanShaha I just wanna see the stone box Moroni made of cement and stone that safely held the gold plates and other stuff for 1400 years. Smith said it's in the New York Hill Cumorah easily visible above ground on the west side near the top of the hill. It HAS to be there... but it's not.

My first exposure to serious anti-Mormon materials and attitudes happened while I was serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was offered an exchange; you read this pamphlet about your Church, I'll read The Book of Mormon passages you leave for me. It seemed like a fair trade to me. I was asking a stranger to do something. It seemed fair that I should be willing to do the same. I'd been taught my whole life to seek out knowledge and understanding. This seemed like a logical trade. The pamphlet contained a lot of information I hadn't seen before; Joseph Smith and Polygamy, various theories on how The Book of Mormon was translated (or plagiarized), various quotes from Brigham Young, ceremonies that may or may not happen in the Temple. As a 19 year old young man, with a high school diploma and 3 weeks of missionary training, this new information was shocking. And in 2004 there wasn't ready access to the internet or materials to research the claims I was reading and compare them to what I believed. After a week of study and prayer, I didn't have any answers, other than a stubborn insistence to hold onto my faith in Jesus Christ. It bothered me, and led to weeks of uncertainty and doubt that I had t work through. When I returned to this individual for our follow-up meeting, they had not read The Book of Mormon passages we had left, and were surprised that I had read the pamphlet and not immediately abandoned my missionary efforts. This scene would play out time after time; critics of the Church offering an information exchange, only to fail to keep their end of the bargain. It's been more than 20 years since this experience, and my testimony of Jesus Christ and His Restored Gospel has only grown stronger. I learned that I don't have to have all the answers, but I do need to place my trust in Jesus Christ, continue to study and pray, and to seek answers from God, who is the objective source for all truth.
