Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. #stevejobs #dontsettle

I've watched number of Jensen Huang videos where he gives a speech or leads a keynote. He gives me Jack Ma vibes.

@george_nqu @bubble Very well put. Thank you! 👏

Everyone I work with that is thinking of leaving @bubble starts with ‘I love Bubble, but…’ Which is super interesting. Because how could a company with such positive user sentiment fumble their lead so catastrophically. What is Bubble doing that makes advocates consider leaving? The answer is probably more in what is Bubble *not* doing. If you look at the feature releases for the last 6-12 months, the biggest feature released by Bubble for existing serious users with real businesses on Bubble that don’t have native mobile apps, is button icons. Button icons! In 2026! And the most important ‘feature’ released altogether for this user segment has been Buildprint, which isn’t even built by Bubble! The property editor updates are fine but don’t move the needle for anyone because experienced users already knew the ins and outs of the old ones so updating it would never be a priority for them. The biggest question we have as users is ‘who is Bubble for?’. If you’re non-technical, you can’t really build anything substantial on Bubble and claiming as such is just wishful thinking. If you’re technical enough to use Bubble, you’re also technical enough to use AI-assisted development with code. Not even the Bubble TEAM knows who Bubble is for. @emmanuel_s has this even been agreed? How can a product roadmap exist if you don’t know who you’re building for? ‘Win first builds’ but win first builds from *who*? There’s no sense of direction or coherent vision that we can see externally based on Bubble’s releases and marketing. The serious users of the platform have basically been given nothing over the last year, so why would they believe they should stick with Bubble and trust they’ll get the features they need, when Bubble’s offered no words or actions to that effect? For many it will be too little too late and the decision has been made to move off of Bubble. But for most, who are still unsure, Bubble has the opportunity to extend an offer to them and commit to features that they need, like workflow branching, returning data from backend workflows etc. But on the current course, it will keep being ‘next year we’ll work on power users’ but it’ll never be attended to because the new user experience will always take priority. It’s all good prioritising new users, until the existing users spending thousands of dollars a month decide to leave and revenue starts leaking from the back door of the platform. I’m not naive to the importance of continued growth and staying relevant in an AI world but the reality is that a significant number of apps are now considering migrating (many for the wrong reasons, and they don’t actually need to migrate - but that doesn’t change the maths for Bubble). Bubble has an opportunity over the next few months to extend an olive branch to serious apps and give them things they’ve been waiting for years for. Waiting any longer will be too little too late for many. I’m rooting for Bubble and invest in the platform because it can have a future if it moves in the right (or even just any) direction. I’m not going to just stand by it if we get nothing back, though.

@shiyam_kashfiq I think main issue is the vastness of what's possible. Not any part of it individually.

@bestbubbledev This clarifies the chaos nicely. Which layer do you find hardest to get right in practice?

To all my nocode friends turning into AI enabled coders, here's the simplest guide to modern software architecture. This explains so much and clarifies chaos of what's possible into organized structure that's consumable for our brains.

@dannypostma Congrats on getting married Danny! Wish you all the best.✌️

Hey Twitter. Been a while. Thanks to everyone who's reached out to check in, I haven't died, promise Just wanted to share where I've been the last 5 months. It started in November. Some personal stuff came up that meant I couldn't share what I was working on anymore and honestly sharing was the whole reason I enjoyed Twitter. The building in public, the conversations, meeting people. Without that, it kind of took the fun out of it for me. Then January came around, and the world kind of lost its mind. I was doomscrolling 5+ hours a day, cranky and angry, short with the people around me. And what really got me was that even when I wasn't on the app, I was still scrolling, just in my head. My wife mentioned Id been off lately, "what are you even doing?", and that's when it hit me: this is a vicious circle. I needed to stop. So I quit cold turkey. Decided it was basically an addiction, and it wasn't giving me anything back. 5 months in honestly it's been one of the best things I've done for myself in years. Not spending 5 hours a day on the app feels amazing. In the mornings especially, Twitter used to dictate what I'd think about all day. Whatever was trending, that's where my head went. I didn't even realize it was happening. Without it, you remember how much is actually going on in real life. You don't have to be scrolling. You can just be there, with your wife, your dog, your friends. Read a book. Read an actual news site. Sit with your own thoughts. That last part has been the biggest one. When your mind has space again, you start *thinking*. About your life. About decisions you've been putting off. I've been head-down running the company for years, always managing, always growing, and suddenly I had room to ask: am I doing what I want to be doing? That alone made the whole thing worth it. Some things that have changed: - Made some dramatic work changes - Working on side projects again - Enjoying coding for fun - Less stressed, way less reactive - My relationships with everyone are better - Been working out, eating healthier, and lost 7kg - Got married - Just happier I've opened the app a few times since. Scrolled for a bit. And honestly, it just doesn't bring me joy anymore. But I do miss things. I miss sharing what I'm building. I miss the people, the conversations, the small connections that come from posting and replying. That's the part I haven't found anywhere else. I'll come back one day, in some form. Probably something custom, a way to share what I'm working on and interact with people without seeing the feed. For now I'm just enjoying being off the grid. If you want to chat, send me an email or a message, Id love that. Thanks for checking in 🙏

Stop hiring humans

@marclou This is inspiring.

Don’t you dare give up

"Talk to your users" is the motto of startup community. But I don't think @marclou or @levelsio talk to any users before they build anything, do you guys?

@maxvayshia @nikitabier @OSASwhiteHat Trust me, you don't want that.

@nikitabier @OSASwhiteHat Yes. Can we also get notifications for unfollows as they happen?

Would it valuable to know how many of your followers have been active on X in the last 24 hours?

I love this! 😍 This is my prediction and what I'm highly looking forward do. AI will enable us to not only do software but IoT and gradually move into more advanced hardware & robotics. Future is amazing!

Two Anthropic engineers spent 24 minutes exposing every Claude Code feature you didn't know existed. Most people will scroll past this. Don't be most people.

@gregisenberg IRL events, businesses will be a HOT topic real soon. You can start here: startinstates.com

wake up because this is the GREATEST time in history to start a company with TRILLIONS of dollars up for grabs over the next 10 years 1. consumer mobile is INTERESTING again for the first time since like 2017. apps can actually do things now. do things. real things. book the flight, draft the contract, follow up with the lead, negotiate the rate, do things. we went from "tap to view" to "tap to deploy." the entire interaction model of software just flipped & most people haven't even registered it yet. OH, and the cost to create these apps is 1/100th of 2017. 2. HARDWARE is back on the table because you can shove Gemma 4 or DeepSeek onto a device that costs less than dinner & it runs locally with zero cloud costs. a year ago that sentence would have sounded insane. you can ship a physical product with a real brain in it now. the last time hardware was this accessible was the early smartphone era & that created a trillion dollar app economy from scratch. 3. literally EVERY category is open to be rebuilt AI-first. the incumbents know it & they're paralyzed. they can't move fast because moving fast because incumbents move slower than you (usually). that paralysis is your opportunity. build the app. build the SaaS. build the AI agent 4. distribution is FREE. you can go from zero audience to 10,000 people who trust you in 90 days on X or YT or IG your first 100 customers are sitting in your replies right now. the old playbook of "raise money, hire sales team, buy ads" is being lapped by a solo founder with a twitter account & a working demo. Oh, and you can use AI to automate a lot of it (ideas, research, AI avatars etc) 5. Idk about you but it feels like companies are doing LAYOFFS like it's the great depression and it's only getting started. No job is secure. So, building a side project that could turn into the main project is more important than ever. 6. the ENTIRE economy is being repriced in real time. the surface area for new companies has never been wider. the tools to build are free. the models are open source. the incumbents are running committees about their "AI strategy" while you could have already shipped. and somehow the predominant response from most people is to watch youtube videos about it & go back to their 9-5. not saying this is easy not saying everyone will win but im saying right now is a time worth trying YOU ARE LIVING through a mass reshuffling of who owns what & who builds what. the last time this happened was the internet itself. before that, electricity. this almost never happens. & you're sitting there doing nothing about it? wake up.

@Jason I'm in

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

ahhm never bet against Elon

hey @thisiskp_ why should I use @Netlify over @vercel?

You should not start a Coffee Shop business in NYC. But if you insists here’s what you need to know before your start. Completely FREE of charge. startinstates.com/guide/16e8c050…

@gregisenberg @TulioSousapro I’m so struggling with pushing myself to do marketing. Hope this will move the needle.

@TulioSousapro Here you go youtu.be/YeoGehNsrLc

agents are the new apps the dirty secret of the SaaS era is that the software never actually worked. it was always 70% product, 30% the specific person in your company who knew how to make it behave. that person was called a "power user" they were actually just a human patch agents replace the patch and suddenly everyone realizes the software was broken the whole time what's cool is how much opportunity there is right now so pick a niche. any niche that you believe 1% of the market is $5M ARR+ there the leader in that space has a 20 year old codebase and a customer base that only stayed because switching was painful and that pain just got a lot easier to swallow agents are the new apps are you building yet

More I listen to experts talk about AI engineering more I am convinced evals and observability is the core of developing AI solutions. Do you even know what eval and observability mean?

someone built an OpenClaw agent that SELLS pool installations on autopilot. finds $500k–$1.2M homes without pools renders a pool in their backyard and mails a before/after postcard.
