@codyschneider Problem is that these people will become unhireable. No longer employees.

I believe this more than anything right now the most effective startup employees will have custom agents and personal software they bring to their jobs and these people will become 100x employees how I see this working: personally, the way I operate now is simple basically whatever I’m working on, I’m trying to automate parts of it in the background while I work on it I’m either building agents that can take over the task as it comes up or building software that eliminates it entirely and this stack of software slowly becomes an extension of m every week it gets a extended, refined, and more capable of doing the things I don’t want to do or the things I shouldn’t be wasting time on over time, it stops feeling like “tools” and starts feeling like infrastructure a personal backend a private ops team a swarm of specialized agents that quietly remove friction from everything I touch and once you start working like this, it’s impossible to go back you start seeing every repetitive action, every manual process, every annoying workflow as a bug not in the company’s system but in your system if you fix 3–5 of these bugs every week, you wake up a few months later with: - your own automations - your own research agents - your own monitoring systems - your own custom interfaces - your own intelligence layer sitting on top of your job it’s compounding leverage and I think that’s where the 100x employee comes from not from raw talent not from hustle but from the quiet accumulation of self-augmenting tools that raise your ceiling until you’re operating on an entirely different curve most people will still be “doing work.” a few will be architecting systems that do their work for them those people win those people become irreplaceable those people become their own force multipliers companies that recognize this and empower it will end up hiring individuals who effectively show up with their own internal R&D department in their github repo we’re entering the era of the 1000x startup employee and it’s going to change everything

So I've been using this tool that analyzes betting podcasts with AI. I spend hours hours listening to Action Network, Bet the Board, etc. for Super Bowl picks. This thing does it in 60 seconds: betcastai.com Anyone can try the free tier. Pretty impressed so far.

@ronin21btc @grok what song is playing in the background?

I wasted my entire life because nobody told me this as a kid

@ASpittel escapekit.co

are you a developer creating a side project or indie dev project using AWS? please drop the link!

@czue Congrats on pulling it off. Love your product and your content.

It's my 8-year indie hacker-versary! I still kind of can't believe it worked.

@pythonanywhere My apps were completely down for several hours. Database was fine.

@SpenceRowland No issues that we're aware of. What problems are/were you seeing?

... and we're back!

@adamwathan Thank you for sharing. I thought I was the only one who was incapable of achieving this.

You know the whole “if you can move a car seat by more than one inch it’s not tight enough” thing? Literally not possible, refuse to believe it.

@Shpigford 3

1, 2 or 3?

@arvidkahl It was a good one. Dealing with some db issues on a much smaller scale and got some good tips from it. Thanks.

Today's episode is a database deep-dive. If you're interested in how I run and maintain a multi-terabyte MySQL database (and stay mostly sane while doing it), this one's for you. Comes with a lot of painfully learned lessons on operating at Podscan's scale. Enjoy!

@ElonMuskAOC Vlog it @elonmusk

Should I start a documentary following the day to day behind the scenes of DOGE? Would you watch?

@dhh Sorry to hear that beautiful place has been lost to you (for now) and so many others. Hope you make it back to the US exclusively soon.

"But even if it wasn't a surprise, it's still a shock. The sheer devastation, especially in the Palisades. Thus, we find ourselves back in Copenhagen. A safe haven for calamities of all sorts." world.hey.com/dhh/it-burns-9…

@catalinmpit Coke Medin on YouTube is really good. Doesn’t go deep in the tech but great for understanding the landscape of available tools and how to piece the them together for a variety of applications.

This year I’m diving deep into AI and LLMs. I want to learn as much as possible so I can build with it and also avoid falling for the hype generated by disingenuous influencers. If you have good resources, please share them.

@vercel_support @vercel desperately need access to Neon's dashboard and monitoring tools. Can I get my Vercel Postgres migration to Neon expedited? Case number is #329346.

@LinusEkenstam @mreflow @danshipper Crazy accurate

Ask ChatGPT “based on what you know about me. draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like” past your responses below. thanks again @mreflow & @danshipper

@adrian_horning_ Oooh…I want it!

Don't tell zillow....but I made a script that will scrape all the search results listings 🤫 Comment "zillow" and I'll send it to you

@aarondfrancis On my 5th repeat now. Coming for your record.

I've been listening to the same song on repeat for five days straight, AMA.

@CasJam Insurance claims adjuster uses it for writing reports

Who do you know who is not in tech and is actively using AI (for anything) on a regular basis? Anyone?

@terribledustin Like it a lot. Throw the “dot” back in “file.rocks” though.

What do you all think about this logo for file.rocks? Take or leave? I like the concept and love that it’s designed by indie for indie ❤️

If you were starting a new project today with a decoupled Django API backend and JavaScript SPA-style front end, what framework would you use on the front end?
