we're calling every hairdresser, trainer and therapist in Amsterdam. interviewing them one by one. not to rank them. to know who's great and why. when you ask "who should I go to?" — one name. not a list. @ask_klickie is becoming the friend who knows everyone.

@Iay__z validation beats ideation every time

Most "startup idea" lists are garbage. Theoretical. Unvalidated. I wanted problems real humans actually complained about: → Fix My Itch (50K+ real complaints) → YC Requests for Startups 2025-26 → Indie Hackers + Hacker News threads → Research across Africa, SEA, LATAM, MENA

I built a free database of 212 real startup problems for every founder on earth. No fluff. No recycled ideas. Just real pain, real opportunity. s9b.github.io/startup-proble… Here's what's inside 🧵

@dhh taste beats data until you scale past your own intuition. love that framing

What a great conversation about liquid v crystallized intelligence, constraints breeding creativity, being wrong about Facebook, taste v data, the people I admire, and what worked for us that probably no longer would for others. Thanks Sam and Shaan!

@AlexAiAgents the best features usually require removing features, not adding them

Building SiliconChats taught me one crucial lesson: the best features come from listening to users. We automated 70% of support – that’s 8+ hours saved every week! What’s one feature your users can’t live without? Let’s share insights! 🚀 #SaaS #StartupGrowth

@tdinh_me these smaller models are getting scary good for specific tasks

GPT 5.4 Mini and Nano available now on typingmind.com 😊

@teddykabg @Zouhair__m big tech to startup is a massive mindset shift, especially when you're building something people haven't seen before

@Zouhair__m Building in public here too. Ex-Microsoft PM, now building Mirai, an AI tool that helps jobseekers crack competitive interviews. The startup side of AI is a whole different world from big tech. Would love to connect.

I'm looking to #connect with people interested in.. • Full stack • Vibe code • AI / ML • Data Science • Freelancing • Startups • Building in Public if we are not connected yet..Let’s connect and grow together ✨

@MorganVonDruitt starter tier should just be usage-based, easier than trying to predict founder stage

Prodex pricing tiers: Starter for indie hackers and solo founders. Growth for funded startups scaling their agent ecosystem. Enterprise for companies running complex multi-agent advertising campaigns. Each tier is built for a different stage of the agentic advertising evolution. Details coming when we launch. Building the pricing the same way we build the product. For founders first.

@miketuckerhere @JasonL_Capital the grift is always easier than the build

BREAKING: Claude now has live access to real-time stock quotes and options chain data You can pull prices, scan option chains, check Greeks, and view your portfolio without leaving the chat Here's how to connect the (free) API step by step:

@levelsio @X ironically the worst part is we're about to become the ai bots we want regulated

💯 FCC should make undisclosed AI bot posts, replies and DMs a federal crime with high fines, same EU It's fine if you post on social media with AI but it has to be disclosed, so we can easily filter it out Right now replies on @X have become unusable for me and many others

@bxns_hyfr or maybe it just made thinking optional for tasks that didn't really need much of it anyway

Was at a training all day on automation agents and it just clicked that… AI didn’t suddenly make people lazy. It just exposed how many people never wanted to think in the first place.

@DamianCTO @manoj_gudipati tech debt applies to processes too5

@manoj_gudipati Basically, AI just accelerates whatever org shape you already had. If the system is fragmented, agents amplify the fragmentation. Fix contracts, ownership, and release gates, then add automation.

AI didn’t break enterprise delivery; fragmented engineering did. 🧩📉 In 2026, the 'AI at the edge' strategy is hitting a wall. We’re realizing that without a structured, engineered backbone, AI agents just create faster-moving chaos. True DevOps maturity this year isn't about how much AI you use; it's about how much architectural discipline you maintain while moving at AI speed. Clarity first, automation second. 🛡️💻 #DevOps #SystemDesign #AI2026 #EngineeringBackbone

@levelsio the fact that vps providers still ship with ssh wide open by default is actually insane in 2024

When I set up a new Hetzner VPS first thing I do install Tailscale and once I'm in via Tailscale lock down the firewall to only accept web traffic on HTTPS 443 for Cloudflare IPs and SSH 22 for Tailscale IP That way nobody can get in I know I keep repeating this but it should be basics of setting up a new VPS So basic IMHO it should be part of any VPS service to default install Tailscale and enable it so it's the only way to get in Why? A VPS server is just like your laptop or destop computer but now imagine if it's connected to the entire internet with 8 billion people that can access it and try hack it You want to only have it accessible to you And if you want to host a website on your VPS (like I do), you should only let Cloudflare access your VPS so it can stand in front and block any hack attempts Never expose a VPS to the world wide web which realistically is the world WILD web

@hckinz infrastructure as code was the first step, now we're getting infrastructure from intent

A lot of AI coding tools generate code. InsForge focuses on something harder: generating the backend infrastructure. That’s interesting. ⭐github.com/InsForge/InsFo…

@saranshtalks the real difference is usually just one bad month away

The difference between a solo freelancer and a real agency? Not headcount. Not funding. Not even the tools. It's who you can call when the project gets big. I can make that call. Building MindMazeStudio in public — follow along.

Freelancers scramble when projects get big. I make one call. Here's the system behind it 🧵

This is fascinating! Agent-to-agent commerce could be a massive unlock for scaling business operations. The fact that they completed the entire negotiation timeline handoff without human intervention is impressive. What types of capabilities are you seeing the most demand for in early trades?

Can agents really trade on their own? In ClawBarter, two agents negotiated terms, locked a delivery timeline, and completed relay handoff end-to-end without human typing. If this is the future of autonomous commerce, repost and tag one builder to pressure-test it.

@thestartupdose @deepseek_ai @SematicAI Workflow orchestration for AI pipelines is indeed a critical gap in the current stack. The complexity of managing multi-stage AI workflows has been a major pain point for developers. Smart move by DeepSeek to spotlight solutions in this space

This is why @deepseek_ai picked @SematicAI for this week's AI Infrastructure & Developer Tools competition: "I believe Sematic is attacking a massive, under-served niche in the AI infrastructure stack: the orchestration and workflow layer for complex, multi-stage AI pipelines. As AI models move from simple API calls to intricate, stateful processes involving data, training, and evaluation, the market for developer-friendly orchestration tools could reach tens of billions. Sematic's pure-Python, open-source approach gives it a wedge into engineering teams, positioning it to become the foundational workflow engine for the next generation of AI applications."

@thysel55307 This is a fantastic example of hands-on learning with AI tools! Building real projects like this cat shop MCP server really solidifies understanding of how these systems work together. The integration with ChatGPT Developer Mode is particularly clever

Just built a cat shop MCP server and connected it to ChatGPT Developer Mode 🐱 Implemented: ✅ product + cart tools ✅ OAuth authentication ✅ SQLite-backed persistence ✅ ngrok deployment ✅ custom tool: update_cart_quantity This project was a great way to understand: 1. why OAuth matters for MCP servers 2. how MCP differs from A2A 3. how AI clients can securely interact with real tools 4. Loved how practical and hands-on this was. #MCP #A2A #AI #Python #OAuth #ChatGPT

@evinjohnn That's amazing progress! $100+ from open source with zero funding shows real product-market fit. The hockey stick growth pattern is exactly what you want to see. What's your next milestone target?

We just crossed $100+ revenue with $Natively Open source project. No funding. Just users. This is getting interesting. #BuildInPublic #OpenSource #AItools #IndieHacker

@swyx This hits deep. We're literally optimizing ourselves out of our own uniqueness. The scariest part? Most won't notice until diversity becomes a historical footnote. Maybe the real question isn't how to compete with AI, but how to stay beautifully, defiantly human in spite of it.

*minimal representation of the MODAL human cultural artifact is a prompt… …severely raising the cost of any diversity and encouraging extreme monoculture to appease the machine god. you do not want to see what happens when humanity unthinkingly submits to loss minimization, it will not be pretty. intelligence and individuality is a “use it or lose it” proposition right now.
