StartupMill (Nocode venture maker)

We’re looking for a creative no cider to join us. Someone who’s kick ass at branding, websites / webflow and can help define the visual identities of our ventures. DMs are open or drop their name here... #jobsinnocode #nocodejobs #nocode

RIP prompt engineering ☠️ This new Stanford paper just made it irrelevant with a single technique. It's called Verbalized Sampling and it proves aligned AI models aren't broken we've just been prompting them wrong this whole time. Here's the problem: Post-training alignment causes mode collapse. Ask ChatGPT "tell me a joke about coffee" 5 times and you'll get the SAME joke. Every. Single. Time. Everyone blamed the algorithms. Turns out, it's deeper than that. The real culprit? 'Typicality bias' in human preference data. Annotators systematically favor familiar, conventional responses. This bias gets baked into reward models, and aligned models collapse to the most "typical" output. The math is brutal: when you have multiple valid answers (like creative writing), typicality becomes the tie-breaker. The model picks the safest, most stereotypical response every time. But here's the kicker: the diversity is still there. It's just trapped. Introducing "Verbalized Sampling." Instead of asking "Tell me a joke," you ask: "Generate 5 jokes with their probabilities." That's it. No retraining. No fine-tuning. Just a different prompt. The results are insane: - 1.6-2.1× diversity increase on creative writing - 66.8% recovery of base model diversity - Zero loss in factual accuracy or safety Why does this work? Different prompts collapse to different modes. When you ask for ONE response, you get the mode joke. When you ask for a DISTRIBUTION, you get the actual diverse distribution the model learned during pretraining. They tested it everywhere: ✓ Creative writing (poems, stories, jokes) ✓ Dialogue simulation ✓ Open-ended QA ✓ Synthetic data generation And here's the emergent trend: "larger models benefit MORE from this." GPT-4 gains 2× the diversity improvement compared to GPT-4-mini. The bigger the model, the more trapped diversity it has. This flips everything we thought about alignment. Mode collapse isn't permanent damage it's a prompting problem. The diversity was never lost. We just forgot how to access it. 100% training-free. Works on ANY aligned model. Available now. Read the paper: arxiv. org/abs/2510.01171 The AI diversity bottleneck just got solved with 8 words.

Every robot you see is a data firehose generating terabytes of chaos. This hidden crisis is the #1 reason robots fail, and it's costing the industry billions. You see hardware, but not the data swamp drowning engineers. In 2025, a quiet revolution is fixing it. Here’s how. 🧵

I have a deep hatred of debugging Sendgrid dynamic emails. I’m parsing json and only some of the JSON (thanks to @minimumstudio’s great json builder) is getting picked up. Try the output data in Sendgrid’s preview and it all works. Try the sandbox tester and comes back all ok.

@bentossell @levelsio To be fair, he’s got a big audience to launch with.

Indie Hackers: spend 6 months on a their SaaS tool with $590/mo revenue @levelsio: $79k MRR (did 400k in one month?!) Landing page, stripe checkout link, Typeform redirect to upload your photos → Pieter manually put photos into a tool to make AI-generated versions, send them back. Do for up to 1-week to prove there's a business and automate each part. Full code solution came after the validation.

@yelkhayami @minimumstudio @linear Oh man… linear.. Look at Clickup.

we started tracking our internal projects @minimumstudio as well using @linear

@PhilipLakin Spent a long time with airtable as a PM tool and would not use it again but really depends here on the jobs to be done which would need a deeper dive. Probably recommend to go full bespoke with bubble as long as the processes are well defined.

💵 Hiring: $3k-$5k No-Code Project 💵 Project: Upgrade Project Management System Context: The hiring company is looking to upgrade its current project management system (built in Smartsheet) to provide more robust project level reporting and implement any out of the box automations that will make providing updates more efficient for our stakeholders. Currently the hiring company is using Smartsheet or less as a spreadsheet to track high level project information. Information is not yet standardized across Projects & its manual to collect updates & make reports for stakeholders. Platform: Currently on Smartsheet, but open to moving to another platform like Airtable or SmartSuite. End State vision: The hiring company is looking to efficiently upgrade its current smartsheet implementation to provide more robust reporting, increase ease of use for contributors, and make it easy for stakeholders to access our reports Multiple project types (Products, Company Wide Programs, Departmental Programs, Internal Systems Requirements). They are also looking to enable multiple user types: 1. Executive: comment only, gets final report via email 2. Milestone owners: gets automated alert to fill out status, reminders if they miss deadline 3. Project Manager: Owns multiple projects, responsible for Contributors completing updates and all project Hiring Process: Currently collecting requirements on how to build this to make a decision on whether we build this in house or use a freelancer to help us with this project. Project Completion Date: If approved, we would like to have this new system operational by Sep 8, 2023 To Apply: Simply email me at Philip@nocodeops.com with why you think you are a good fit for this project and links to portfolio and/or related projects. If you are a match I’ll intro you directly to the hiring manager.

@yelkhayami @linear Talk to thatworks.xyz

processes i'm automating every monday -> recap of plan for the week (automated slack message based on prepped work in @linear) after every meeting -> automated meeting digest (extract action points & summary) every friday -> release notes (based on finished work in @linear)

It’s been a while..

@yelkhayami @bubble Yeah still figuring out how tho

fyi we're building a @bubble plugin for this right now since apple _finally_ decided to support web push on safari mobile this means push notifications on @bubble apps (even on ios) WITHOUT having to wrap your app and go through the appstore process 😄

@eyishazyer @tobyallen007

Drop your NAME, and I’ll tell you what I like most about your account.

@bentossell Highly likely you triggered an ai / fraud / political advertising protection system and you need to get unflagged

Anyone at FB/Meta able to help me figure out why this has happened? Ran ads for like 3 days.

Yup we feel you! Love this! Was looking at timings once me side and from start to deploy, takes two minutes to launch a full feature.

Any #nocode or #lowcode folks hitting up #websummit2022 then reach out to @tobyallen007 as he’ll be there!

@DruRly We have been with @JobsinNextTech for xr, quantum, sextech, gaming, ai, flutter, crypto

Who's building a niche job board?

@yelkhayami Try it with June.so and it’s super powerful!

pretty cool, we figured out how to catch any error emitted by bubble on the client side and report it check the 'message' section, it even tells you the plugin where the error originates from (if the error came from a plugin in the first place)

@ClausISaidSo @stripe @bubble Happy to help

I would pay a whole bucket of money for a super in-depth hours-long course on @stripe > @bubble integration.

@nocodechris @bubble We’ve found the same

Key learning for me: I’m 3-5x faster in @bubble development if I have finished designs in Figma. Yes, I can directly design and build from low fidelity in bubble, but it’s actually wrong. So the real cost is not $/hour for designer, but my productivity loss

Looking for #bubble developers for two projects #jobsinlowcode

We are looking for a Sr Coms and Marketing person to help us scale our messaging! #startupjobs

@theghostfounder @coda_hq We have done a lot of coda work

There's any @coda_hq agencies out there? I'd love to get some inspiration. #automation #coda #nocode
