Dustin

@averycode So awesome to see how you're building up the local scene!

Had a blast! So great to meet everyone building cool things 🔥

@mdnlabs All the best, Marshall!!

I'm quitting X. It's been a good run. There's a lot of transitions happening in my life right now and just showing up to overly consume and post just to post isn't helpful right now. Life is good - don't get me wrong. Just need more time to think. I've made over $5,000 since Jan. 2026 from being online. $0 from digital products. I'd like to change that. So much learning, so little time to process and execute. AI is evolving way too fast. It's quite dangerous imo, but I'm not afraid of it. I'll be back when things are figured out. Keep going with your dreams. You'll make it.

To future me: build proper notification systems to alert myself when users give feedback. Last night I found out that a week ago my app actually attracted an organic user! They subscribed, left feedback/questions about a feature, then cancelled. Since I caught the feedback so late, I refunded them and wrote in an email to apologise.

@Tobby_scraper Thank you!

@dusveloper Enjoy with the fam!

GM Guys. What’s on the todo today? 📝

@averycode Thank you Avery!

@dusveloper sounds like an amazing year! looking forward to travel stories + indie hacking journey 🙌🏼

244 days ago, I quit my full time job to travel, search for meaning, and take more risks in life. Fast forward to today, I have, among other things: 🐎 Traversed the plains of Mongolia, staying with nomadic families and riding horseback through the taiga. 🍄 Survived a very bad case of food poisoning in Yunnan, China (be careful with the mushroom hotpot) 🏢 Incorporated a company to house my various projects and ideas 🕯️ Built and launched petapetual.com, my first go at an online memorial app (I learned so much about the end-to-end development flow, VPS hosting, etc). I have absolutely no regrets leaving my old job, and although there's a lot of uncertainty to get through, I wouldn't have it any other way. More exciting things await me in the future and I'm all here for it!

@growth_pigeon Happy Lunar New Year to you too Mark!

Happy Lunar New Year to all that celebrate

Anyway. Happy Chinese New Year in advance. Stealing this background from a cafe 🐎🐎🐴🐴

@jiayun_studio Welcome to 200 view jail 🙃 I've heard its normal to be here whilst you figure things out though!

Day 46 of building apps to$1k MRR First few TT videos only getting ~200 views :// Gonna keep testing different hooks until something clicks, then scale it

@shinemeris Fork the repo while you have the chance!

@averycode Was this Axe Factor? 👀

Weekend as an indie builder: > Coworked with x friends > Dev work for my new saas > Wrote marketing content > Went to the gym > Went axe throwing

@martinrue Thanks Martin! 😁

@dusveloper This is great Dustin. Following a similar path myself and wouldn’t go back for anything! Good luck with your projects 👏

@luuv_us That's the way 😎

@dusveloper Live the adventure, brother.

@ganjvm Thank you Aleksey!!

@dusveloper Wow, what an incredible journey! Wishing you continued adventure, growth, and success in everything ahead - keep pushing those boundaries!🤟

@martinrue Yea it'll be an adventure for sure! Let me know if you're ever in Malaysia/Singapore! Hahahaa

@dusveloper Oh nice! I'd love to spend some time both in KL and especially in Singapore at some point. Sounds like a cool adventure in Aus!

Morning! Today’s plan: • Ship some LangBot things • Do some Vietnamese study • Go for an English Sunday roast (there are some great ones in Bangkok!) Have a great Sunday!

@trikcode AI bros hate this one simple trick!

@auralix4 Did they ever say that the update was rolled out?

@notch This is so @neiltyson coded

At the end of every rainbow, there is indeed a treasure; your eyes. (because rainbows are formed by light hitting droplets of water at a certain angles relative to your eye, meaning they're actually 3d and cone shaped, with the only "end" being the tip, which is inside your eye)

@annapanart It is, they're just not reporting it Economy needs to appear strong and all that

I don’t know why massive unemployment is not deployed yet.

@curious_adithya Perfectionism has ruined more projects than trying and failing ever did! Working on shedding the weight of perfection myself

Deleting perfectionism can improve your launch rate by 200%

@martinrue I'm Malaysian but have a permanent residency in Singapore, but I'll be going to explore Australia for a while later this month!

@dusveloper Yeah! And renting long term here is quite affordable too. Where in the world are you Dustin?
