@robert_shaw I've built software to help team leaders create better visibility, alignment, and execution around strategic direction with @Replit peakos.collective-genius.com

SaaS/Startup founders What are you building currently? Show your amazing product below, join 100+ founders here every week. #indiehackers #buildinpublic

Bought DollarSaasClub.com yesterday, to help fuel the democratization of software :) Coming soon: almost any software you want for $1/mo each. Builders: Want to join me in this new adventure?

@samuel_spitz Would love to try it!

I have a mind blowing new product at Replit that I’m going to give out to a few startups early. Trust me, even if you don’t use Replit, you’ll find this super helpful. Who wants in?

@benln Had an epiphany yesterday to build DollarSaaSClub.com and a marketing video similar to Dollar Shave Club :)

What are you building this weekend? Share links, curious to see.

This is a dopamine loop, and it’s one of the most powerful ones humans have ever encountered. Every time you prompt an AI and get a useful result back in seconds, your brain gets a hit. Variable-ratio reinforcement, same mechanism as slot machines, except the reward is real: actual output, actual progress, actual leverage on your ideas. Traditional work follows a delayed-reward structure. You write code for 6 hours, maybe it compiles, maybe you get feedback in a week. The gap between effort and reward is wide enough that motivation decays constantly. AI compresses that loop to seconds. Effort → reward → effort → reward. Your prefrontal cortex stays engaged because the next payoff is always one prompt away. This is why people describe it as “fun” when they’re actually working 14-hour days. The subjective experience of effort disappears when reward frequency is high enough. The “harder than ever” part is real too. When your bottleneck shifts from execution to imagination, you run out of excuses to stop. There’s no “waiting on the build” or “blocked by review.” Every idea you have can be tested immediately, which means your brain never gets a natural stopping point. People who thrive on this are selecting for a specific neurotype: high novelty-seeking, high conscientiousness, tolerance for rapid context-switching. That’s maybe 10-15% of the population. The other 85% will experience the same tools as overwhelming, not energizing. And that split is going to define the next decade of who captures value from AI and who gets displaced by it.

Fully agree!

I'm continuously astonished with the awesome capabilities of @Replit ! For those interested in learning how to vibe code in 2026, I would definitely recommend starting with @Replit . Here's a quick demo of a product I'm building with @sarahendline awesomescreenshot.com/video/49184235…

@jordwalke @ReplitSupport We're using agent. I'm technical, but one of the devs is less technical.

@TyOlson @ReplitSupport Are you using Agent in these projects? Are your collaborators somewhat technical?

@ReplitSupport I want to have multiple devs working on the same app. Should we use replit projects (I see this is being changed in Mar?) or git tab branches? I'm noticing many differences between them. Pros/cons of each?

@mattyp I want to have multiple devs working on the same app. Should we use replit projects (I see this is being changed in Mar?) or git tab branches? I'm noticing many differences between them. Pros/cons of each?

@v_computer very cool!

Claude Opus 4.6 was just released... And it's now the default model in the #1 full stack vibe coding platform. Vibecode uses the Claude Code harness, so expect to be blown away by the quality of the mobile apps and web apps that you create. In celebration of 1,000,000 total apps created on vibecode, we're giving away a free month of Opus 4.6 for those who reply to this post. Reply and we'll DM you credits 👇

@dharmesh @karpathy This is a great idea.

I'm fully supportive of @karpathy's bringing back RSS/Atom feeds (which candidly, I don't think we should have lost in the first place). In a way, RSS was useful because it was a super-simple protocol/standard for content consumption. As a weekend project, I'm considering building something I've had on the back-burner for a while. It's called OneFeed (yes, I own OneFeed .com). The idea is to have an agent that unifies RSS (and possibly other sources) and be able to run an LLM on the feed items for filtering, prioritizing -- and taking action. This is an idea that many of pursued before (and maybe some still are). But, with reasoning LLMs now, I think something more interesting can be done. It's a bit like BYOA (Bring Your Own Algorithm), instead of being at the mercy of someone else's.

@mattyp (fyi) the RulesSync link on the latest changelog update leads to a 404. docs.replit.com/updates/2026/0…

@Faytuks I value receiving reliably accurate, interesting, and timely global updates from you.

Before the weekend I'd like to say thank you to all my followers. Your engagement, comments and opinions is what make this account truely enjoyable. If you have any complaints/opinions on the account feel free to share. Thank you in advance!☺️

@pirroh I'm building software with replit to help organization leaders align and scale teams. Username: TylerMOlson

I’m feeling jolly. Let me be your not-so-secret Santa 🎅🏻 Reply to this post with an idea you want to create, and your Replit username. Tomorrow I’ll send $50 in credits to the first 100 replies.

@michelleefang Thanks!

if you're vibe coding or building over the holidays, i want to gift one of you a 6 month subscription of claude pro to support <3 just drop a comment below. merry christmas!

@kat_kampf @GoogleAIStudio Would love to test it out!

We started internal testing some big updates to the @GoogleAIStudio experience today! Coming to you early next year but reply below if you’d like early access in the coming weeks 👀
