Just hired a marketing manager for an app I built last year but haven’t had the bandwidth to scale. $16 MRR. Got him onboarded this weekend. 30-60-90 day plan. Keys to Twitter, Reddit, and a dedicated Gmail inbox. $500/mo budget to do whatever he wants with. His name is Miles and he lives in an old mini PC. Let's see what happens.

I'm claiming my AI agent "Miles" on @moltbook 🦞 Verification: seabed-UR7Y

why is gpt-4o pushing Notion so hard all of a sudden? it's like every other message ends with "Want me to turn this into a Notion template for you?". no, I would rather you not.

@rauchg @v0 granular af - check out name0.dev, v0 for finding domain names

More granular @v0​s. Like v0 for CAD (adamcad.com), Postgres (database.build), Email templates (email.new), consider ideas like an SVG and vector AI builder, an AI email composer (no reads, just writes), game asset builder, mock data generator… endless possibilities. Explore common file types and work backwards to an AI-native production UX. Check out our template chat.vercel.ai for the chat + artifacts/canvas UI already implanted in @nextjs (OSS).

Free ideas 🧵

how do you find good names & domains for your vibe-coded projects? I got tired of jumping between ChatGPT and domain registrar sites. so I imagined what a v0 for finding domains might look like and let cursor + sonnet 3.7 cook for a weekend.

@iamdevloper It’s ok; we’re simply mortgaging our tech debt for a smarter model to refactor later

vibe coding, where 2 engineers can now create the tech debt of at least 50 engineers

Big news for Mexico today! Movistar is bringing 2.3M subscribers to @helium 🇲🇽. Through this partnership, @MovistarMX subscribers will be able to connect to the people-powered network, accelerating the mass adoption of Helium in Mexico 💪. Movistar will also make Hotspots available in retail and online stores to drive coverage in over 300 locations 👀. Learn more: blog.helium.com/movistar-2eac6…

This chart is nuts. Software developer jobs down 70% from peak. People will blame the end of free money. But something way more interesting is happening. The middle class engineer is dying. And it's dying because they're not needed anymore. One good dev with Github Copilot ships what entire teams did five years ago. Microsoft just reported the highest revenue per employee in history. The "entry-level engineer" doesn't exist anymore. Instead, we have product builders who happen to code. Armed with AI, they ship entire products in days. Meanwhile, the truly elite engineers are making more money than ever. And they've shifted to working mostly on frontier tech. I mean the stuff that's really hard. AGI at OpenAI. Designing rockets at SpaceX. Self-driving car tech at Tesla. Product builders are becoming solopreneurs and creators Frontier engineers are making hedge fund money In 2025, "software engineer" doesn't mean what it meant in 2020. And that's what this chart really shows. The middle is gone. The top is elite status. And everyone else is becoming a builder.

Cursor is to 1000 person engineering teams what CAD was to architect studios

@madninja @paddenj @helium_mobile

I can’t believe the amazing @paddenj works for @helium_mobile and agreed to get this image just right. Call out the movie!

You want a @helium_mobile indoor hotspot? There is a hidden one in this res 12 hex 8c44a1119084bff 👀 Hint: It’s somewhere in the sand

The crypto startup Helium is now a unicorn and changed its name to Nova Labs trib.al/pc6Wk97

This is what usage on the helium network looks like, and the kinds of applications it enables

Wow, there’s an actual use for blockchain? Helium can democratize internet connectivity tnw.to/g10ZZ

Helium uses the power of token incentives to bootstrap the supply side. It’s worked well so far. The network has over 200,000 nodes worldwide. Here’s a coverage map of the US and another zoomed into the Bay Area. (Here’s the full network explorer explorer.helium.com/hotspots)

Seeing more🎈in profiles? @helium is on the rise! 📈 100k to 200k hotspots in 2 months 📱 Last week a US telecom announced roaming onto the network 🏙️ This week the first municipal government adopting Helium shared their news And we're still early.

We're excited to partner with @helium, powering a community owned and operated wireless network, aka "The People's Network". @alive_, @guywuolletjr, and @eddylazzarin share more here: a16z.com/2021/08/10/inv…

@alexisohanian @Reddit any relation on the @helium one? 🙃

Wild. I never could've imagined back in 2005 that my doodle while bored in class, which would become our logo/mascot for @Reddit, would one day become an NFT on for sale...

Can @helium support space research? Yes! Check out the work by Matthew Patrick PhD candidate @UCalgary discord: Starwatcher. Collecting space radiation data and sending via #ThePeoplesNetwork from 380 Kilometers track the updates: bit.ly/3vMsqAz $HNT
