January was our first-ever profitable month. I’m proud of our growth, and am excited for the future. We’re now driving between 500-1000 interviews and job offers per month for customers. BUT, the screenshot doesn’t tell the whole story… 👉 Our profit is still only around $7.6K. 👉 My first-ever paycheck (!!!) is for $3.8K — not exactly life-changing money in Los Angeles. 👉 I’d spent the past 1.5 years draining my savings to bootstrap the company and pay da billz, and it will take a long time to recoup that 👉 If I’d taken a job instead, I would’ve made ~$300-500K in the same timeframe without draining my savings To put it into perspective: if you have a SaaS that’s doing only $3K MRR, but has been profitable w/ high margins since Day 1, you’ve made FAR more money than I have. I’m not saying any of this to poop on my own parade — I’m stoked to be where we are! — but I still think it’s important to share the reality behind the flashy Stripe screenshots, which is often not as glossy as it seems.

@hustlin_heev @nico_jeannen I’d like to think the new algo change may resurrect the old community to some degree but I get the cynicism obviously

@nico_jeannen bahh it gave me u frerot!

i used to post and share everything on here app screenshots, MRR, the highs, the lows. But I have had 7 people copy my app 1:1, even use the same name and now im basically scared to keep doing it i know its sort of a foolish thing to fear "people copying u" but just the fact that people did it make me not want to share the journey anymore...

huge. the primary historical function of twitter was accidentally becoming friends with someone through 400 low-stakes interactions the social graph should produce friendship at least as efficiently as it currently produces blood feuds

@hustlin_heev @superwhisper What do you prefer abt it vs wisprflow?

i used @superwhisper yesterday. it insanely increases input and therefore output for claude... theres really no excuse to ship these days. its never been easier.

If you are a Software Engineer, Product Manager, Customer Success Manager, or Account Executive with 5+ years experience and a recognizable company on your resume I can literally guarantee you will get job interviews using ApplyAll.

@AlfieJCarter Agents

R.I.P. rebuilding your GTM stack from scratch every session. A complete Claude Skill Library can replace a $15,000/month agency retainer. It is not as easy as hiring someone else to do it. But if you start today, you can have 56 skills loaded into Claude covering SEO, content, outbound, sales, growth, analytics, strategy, ads, social, and CRM by end of this week. I usually charge $299 for access to this library but today, it's free. Like this post + comment 'Agents' and I'll DM you the entire skill library for free. (Must be following, or I can't message.) Taking this down in 48 hours.

@Crowdreply_io ApplyAll.com

drop your website we’ll check your ai visibility score for free

A lot more expensive than I expected given all the hype. Looks like I’m gonna stay a ride or die Composer fangirl after all

My only regret about Screen-free Saturdays is that I didn’t start doing it years earlier

@PunkXBT_ Thanks! You're not wrong, honestly... it's wayyy too vanilla for me personally too. but we were desperate to get away from the lander I made in 3 hours in 2019, so wanted to minimize the number of confounding variables in A/B testing. Next up: become the Liquid Death of jobs?🤘

@TalMahaj landing page is clean but feels a bit too safe like it’s playing it straight when the product sounds more ambitious maybe needs more edge or personality to match energy of applyall. lets be mutual @TalMahaj

Roast our new landing page (or lavish us with compliments, that’s aiight too) applyall.com/new-landing

@Wehbs @hthieblot I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME I will never forget those faces of death videos, the stuff of nightmares

@hthieblot rotten dot com… scarred me as a child

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

@nickventuri Opus

CLAUDE Opus 4.8 for LinkedIn just released. And I'm never going back... For years, SDRs have been burning hours on manual prospect research. And it ends the same way every time. You spend 20 minutes per lead. You fall back to a generic template anyway. You hit send… and you repeat tomorrow. It was never about volume. It was always about timing and personalization at scale. With Opus 4.8, it's finally possible. 0 generic templates. 0 wasted research hours. Here's what the prompt does: → Pulls real-time buying signals from a LinkedIn profile (job change, funding, hiring, recent activity) → Researches the prospect's actual pain, not their job title → Writes a personalized, snackable icebreaker that references the specific signal And it stops there. The conversation, the qualification, the close, that's still you. Because sales should not be on autopilot. Personalization at scale should be. 1. Connect with me 2. Comment "OPUS"

@PumpkinnSpicey My neighbor’s apartment in the building next door that may be for rent soon in that budget, ill keep you posted! Good luck to him!

@TalMahaj Gorgeous - my son is apartment hunting but his budget is around $4500/mo

@RDRembert I don’t take it personally, trust me. I get it. Thank you for the compliment regardless.

Beautiful spot but I’ve never clicked out of a link so fast lol

@everestchris6 OMNI, I love all your biz ideas and have already been using GPT’s new image model to do virtual staging for my own rentals, so lfgggg

google omni is kinda insane had it redesign my villa and it actually came out really good here's a $100k/mo business you can build with it: - realtors will pay to make their empty listings look fully furnished so they sell faster - interior designers will pay to show a client their actual room redesigned before they commit - remodelers will pay to show a homeowner what their space looks like after the renovation - you reach out with a postcard of their own space already redesigned and close them on a monthly plan reply "OMNI" + RT and i'll send you a free guide on how to build this out and land clients

@itsalexvacca Ads

We built 12 Claude Code skills that run our entire paid media ops across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn at ColdIQ (and we're giving the whole pack away). Our head of growth Ivan Falco runs $200K/month in ad spend from a terminal. It's how we doubled client load this year without losing quality. The skills do the work that used to fill our media buyers' calendars: spot creative fatigue, adjust bids, upload audiences, run bulk edits, flag broken campaigns, build reports. Each skill does a specific job: Google Ads: → keyword-analyzer: audits quality scores and finds keyword gaps → negative-keywords: reviews search terms and blocks wasted spend → performance-auditor: compares periods and flags what changed → search-terms: surfaces queries burning budget with zero conversions Meta Ads: → audience-builder: turns CRM lists into custom audiences → creative-fatigue-analyzer: spots declining CTR before the metrics flag it → fatigue-monitor: flags when your audience is saturated → spend-tracker: tracks budget pacing across every campaign LinkedIn Ads: → audience-builder: builds targeting audiences at scale → bid-optimizer: adjusts bids across campaigns in bulk → bulk-editor: mass edits campaigns, ads, and naming in seconds → creative-builder: generates ad creatives from brand specs You drop them into Claude Code, connect your ad accounts, and tell it what you need. It reads the skill, plugs into the platform, executes. 300+ hours of work went into building these. Comment ADS and we'll send all 12 over.

@trentjhughes @jasonmpearl @Tribefounders @alex_borkin @sternburger_ @ethan_kohan I’ll be there! Can’t waitttt!

@jasonmpearl @Tribefounders @alex_borkin @sternburger_ @ethan_kohan @TalMahaj

Excited to build something special in LA alongside @trentjhughes , @chrisxmunn , and Paul Dashevsky. Register using this link to join us: luma.com/3raork13

@everestchris6 Van! Fun! Would love to see

this OpenClaw bot finds newly licensed contractors, AI mocks a wrap on their van, and mails them the postcard, all on autopilot. here's how anyone can use this to sell van wraps: - pulls newly-licensed contractors from public records - filters by issue date so the van isn't wrapped yet - verifies identity by phone-matching against their Google Business profile - grabs their actual van photo from their Google profile - AI-renders the wrap on that exact van - composes a postcard with the owner's first name + the wrap - ships it via direct mail API, a real postcard lands in their mailbox every step from license to mailbox is automated. reply "VAN" + RT and I'll send you a free guide so you can build this too

So interestingly enough, our data from ApplyAll (outcomes from >2 million job apps sent) actually contradicts the one page thing. Our top 3 highest performing SWE or SWE-adjacent resumes in the last year were all 3 page resumes with 8-15 bullets for the most recent role. That aside, this is excellent advice that is mostly applicable beyond software engineering as well. E.g. even for non-technical roles, I’m seeing far more JDs mention AI capabilities than I see resumes mention them.

How to make your engineering job application stand out (from the perspective of someone looking at hundreds of resumes): 1. Your resume should be one page. If you really need more space, link to a website. You don't need 10+ bullets for each job. 2. You will immediately stand out >90% of applications if you link a personal website that has some intentionality behind it. 3. If you are going to link your X, you might want to clean up your posts? Seems obvious but... people post some wild stuff. 4. You should link your GitHub. Please avoid doing a profile README that looks like a MySpace profile with the badges and images. I'm trying to look at code and your ability to build interesting ideas. 5. You should try to customize your application to the company. If you're applying to a startup, the courses you took in college probably don't matter as much. Maybe more if you're trying to make it through the ATS screening for FAANG. 6. I'm seeing a surprising number of resumes which don't talk about AI or agents at all. Software engineering is changing and it's a pretty fair assumption that you will be expected to learn or understand coding with AI for your job. That should be reflected on your resume and projects (and I'm not just saying this because I'm at Cursor). 7. Take your LinkedIn seriously. Most devs are here hanging out on X but surprisingly still most people will send around your LinkedIn internally. 8. Find ways to show your unique strengths/tastes/interests. It's nice to see people are smart, well-rounded, and thoughtful. Maybe this is a collection of books you enjoyed and why. Or some writing you've done. Or films you liked. At the end of the day, people want to work with other people they like and respect. If nothing else, it will be a good conversation starter ("oh I love [book] as well!"). 9. Do not use AI to write your cover letter or resume text. It's incredibly obvious, especially if you are applying to an AI company. You can still use it to ideate on ideas or phrases, but write it by hand (don't fall victim to the overused in-the-distribution-AI-phrases). See: /humanizer skill. 10. No photos on resumes. Save those for whatever you link out to. 11. Quality over quantity. 3 really good, thoughtful, detailed, interesting projects versus a wall of 27 AI-slop ones. Remember that hiring managers / recruiters are getting hundreds or thousands of applications for a role. They're not going to spend 20 minutes on every single application. You need to cut the cruft and get to the point. I hope this helps you stand out!
