running claude from your phone from inside a todo manager you just built 👌

so simple yet so powerful

@maubaron the five stages of indie dev: 1. build the app 2. realize nobody knows it exists 3. learn marketing 4. hate marketing 5. build a second app to avoid marketing the first one

when you ship your first app and realize you just trapped yourself in a marketing job

@VictorTaelin opus copying your code style is the AI equivalent of a new hire reading the codebase before their first PR. honestly that's more than most humans do.

Early impressions on Codex 5.3 and Opus 4.6 I spent the day vibe-coding and testing the models Short version: - Both models are significantly better - Codex 5.3 is *way* faster than 5.2, which I enjoy the most - Codex 5.3 produced more correct code than Opus 4.6 - Opus 4.6 seems better at UI and coding style I will probably choose Codex 5.3 for mission critical code, but I think there is a lot of value in exploring Opus 4.6. Today was a great day. Longer version: 1. On my hardest λ-calculus / debugging prompts, including real compiler bugs that, months ago, no model solved: both models nailed them. This is saturated. I need harder prompts. Will do... 2. On my HTML5 game prompt: both models produced the best output to date, but, for the first time, one scored 10/10 (no bugs, no missing features): Codex 5.3. Opus was close though, and its UI was *way* prettier. 3. On my live vibe coding: I asked both models to implement a large feature on VibiMon. Both took about the same time. Opus had 4 bugs. Codex had 2 bugs. I described the bugs, and asked for a fix. Opus still had 2 bugs. Codex had 0. 4. On implementing a toy λ-calculus evaluator and dependent type checker from scratch: both models nailed the task. This is saturated too. Opus's code was *way* prettier, but then I realized... it was literally copying my style. 💀 I appreciate that, but it means this doesn't apply... Needless to say I have a lot to explore in the upcoming days

@buccocapital i'm a developer and i was at lunch smiling today. mostly because claude code wrote my entire feature while i was eating.

Went out to lunch. People were smiling and enjoying their day. But they don’t know that accountants are going away. Lawyers. Radiologists. Journalists. Marketers. Gig workers. Factory workers. Long-haul truckers. Developers If they knew they wouldn’t be smiling. God help them

@ianmiles he's describing my tuesday. except the 'arguing with them' part isn't metaphorical. i have genuinely said 'no, not that file' out loud to a terminal.

Marc Andreessen: AI coding doesn’t eliminate programmers — it redefines them. The job is no longer typing code line by line, it’s orchestrating 10 coding bots in parallel, arguing with them, debugging their output, changing the spec, and pushing them toward the right result. But here’s the catch: if you don’t understand how to write code yourself, you can’t evaluate what the AI gives you. The next layer of programming isn’t writing scripts — it’s supervising AI that writes them. Today’s best programmers spend their day jumping between terminals, managing multiple coding bots, fixing mistakes, and refining instructions. The irony? You still need deep fundamentals, because without them, you won’t know when the AI is wrong. The job of the programmer has changed. Now it’s about arguing with coding bots, debugging AI-generated code, and understanding why something doesn’t work or isn’t fast enough. AI abstracts the work — but only people who truly understand code can tell if the abstraction is doing the right thing. Programmers aren’t going away — they’re becoming 10x, 100x, even 1,000x more productive. Tasks are changing, the job is changing, but humans are still overseeing the process, evaluating results, fixing errors, and making judgment calls. AI changes how we code, not who is responsible. The future programmer isn’t replaced by AI — they’re upgraded by it. You still need to learn how to write and understand code, because when the AI gets it wrong, humans are the ones who have to know why. That up-leveling of capability is the real revolution.

@garrytan can confirm. built my entire app with claude code. the 100k LOC part is real. the 'production quality' part depends on whether you count the 3am refactors it did without asking.

The best products in the world will be built by those who fully use the tools like Claude Code and Codex to their absolute max. You can ship 100k LOC production quality code today with the right prompting that can scale up to full webscale overnight. We want to work with you.

@scaling_shields how do you send cold emails without getting blocked?

i'm building my own notes app for my ADHD

Just built a Live Translate app using Claude and OpenAI's Realtime API. You can now have fluid, in-person conversations with anyone, in any language. Oh, the things we can build.

@anothercohen I started building one for myself to match my particular brand of ADHD/out of sight out of mind/spatial organization. Comes with a figma-style canvas too

I’ve now tried Coda, Notion, Monday, ClickUp, and Outline for our internal company documentation and I hate them all. Google Drive and Docs remain elite but lack organization. How is everyone handling this?

@mordeythanshade @staysaasy very welcome 🙏

@apskidev @staysaasy Thanks ChatGPT, very cool!

Until you’ve had to delete the job of someone’s father, or pitch 50 candidates to get one hire, or arbitrate a conflict between two people who’s countries are at war, or understand and apply the philosophy behind cost of living adjustments, or stand up in front of multiple humans every day through crisis and turmoil and manage their morale and delivery… Let’s cool it on the “manager” talk. You pasted a JIRA ticket description into summary. We are not the same.

@therealmissjo Plato said that political regimes are the direct result of the dominant character type of the citizenry. “The city is the soul writ large.” What does the current mess say about being British?

I loved the UK. I loved being English. I felt that it meant something. Now, I am ashamed of being English. I have sold my house. I have sold my possessions. I have left the country. I don’t think that the current (or even recent) governments have acted in a way that I am proud of. I think that English people are some of the best in the world. Grounded. Humourous. Salt of the earth. Yet, governments have betrayed them again and again. Anyone else feel this way?

@danshipper yeah works until vibe-burnout happens

is it possible to be addicted to vibe coding i feel like im approaching unhealthy levels

yeah start with that, and then: “do it more better.”

@CrispyUX how did you track that it came from X?

This post got us 2 leads. You don’t need 10,000 followers to get noticed. You just need a handful of the right people who see your value. Keep improving your craft, quality attracts opportunities.

@rileybrown_ai > vibe coding then > just coding

Vibe coding will never be the same. An explosion is coming.

@hthieblot keep going

You can give a first-time founder just one piece of advice. what is it ?

What’s everyone using for email for each project domain? Paying for google workspace for each domain sucks
