Lately I had an argument with a non-technical vibe-coder about whether his app was ready for production. We can't know for sure, but my point was: it "works" on his side, and at the same time it's not ready — because of unknown unknowns. We still haven't found the common ground. That's why I prepared an assessment for non-technical app builders. It helps to avoid imposter syndrome and to check how ready your app really is for scalability. For vibe-coders: please use it and share how it works for you. For engineers: feel free to send PRs if you have important questions that should be assessed too — and please don't nitpick: focus on what's critical or dangerous, not on things that don't really matter.

Find me on this photo 🤣🤣🤣

@averycode @SherryYanJiang @agrimsingh Haha was there too

Cafe cursor in singapore 🇸🇬 The energy was amazing, had so much fun! Thanks for hosting @SherryYanJiang @agrimsingh

Блядь, такое ощущение , что мы только что дебажнули мировую торговлю и я в ахуе. 🔥 Пристегнитесь, сейчас напишу все что я думаю после недельного анализа: Вьетнам в 2026-м - это легальный чит-код, который вообще не должен был существовать. Мы прогнали архитектурный анализ и вот цифры: Это ЕДИНСТВЕННАЯ точка на карте, где одно юрлицо без костылей открывает фулл-стек: ✅ Amazon (USA) - «белый» Whitelist, пошлины копейки, профит в USD. ✅ Wildberries/Ozon - прямая логистика, FTA с СНГ, ноль санкционных рисков. ✅ TikTok Shop / Shopee / Lozada / Tiki - домашний регион, 650 млн лидов под боком. Пока мамкины бизнесмены пытаются пропихнуть товар через три прокладки в Эмиратах или молятся на китайский дропшиппинг (который США ебут налогами в 100%), мы деплоим компанию во Вьетнаме и получаем: 🚀 0% НАЛОГА на прибыль (4 года, Карл вы блядь вообще понимаете этот ход ?!) 🚀 100% ЛЕГАЛЬНЫЙ выход на все рынки сразу. Это не бизнес-кейс, это какой-то ебаный взлом реальности. Ты сидишь в Нячанге, пьешь кофе за 1$, а твой ИИ-агент через одно вьетнамское ядро ебашит продажи и на Бруклин, и на Мытищи, и на Ханой. Да еще и логистику для этого дерьма строили наши пацаны из Сиба - там алгоритмы такие, что товар перемещается быстрее, чем мысли в твоей голове. Короче, пока вы спите, мы строим глобальную империю на вьетнамском рантайме 😂☝🏼

@TTrimoreau Money

As a founder What is the single most profitable skill to have right now?

@Yuchenj_UW Why you pay for tokens instead of using subscriptions?

If you had two software engineering offers: > One pays you $500k/year salary, but covers zero LLM tokens. > One pays you $400k/year salary, but gives you $500/day free LLM tokens. Which one are you taking?

Building a SaaS is easy now. Finding one person who actually needs it is still the hardest thing in the world.

Could you imagine it's 2026 and I still have a legitimate case of manually creating a certificate using letsencrypt. Moreover, I faced rate limits!

@makemoneycfa @Irenezhao_ Are you in 2006 brother?

@Irenezhao_ Food is like $3 a plate, why do you even need 5 million to retire?

Googled 'how much to retire in Singapore'. The answer is S$1.6M. Be honest, is S$5M enough for you to retire in SG?

@Irenezhao_ I calculated for myself and 5m is exact amount came in mind after the maths

Okay my favourite Railway with the new MCP is turning me into real builder machine. Now my Cursor sees also logs on Staging and Prod and can configure services for me

@gabrielchua @OpenAI Can you refer for engineering roles?

The @OpenAI APAC team is looking for builders who want to shape how people and businesses engage with AI. My colleague is hiring for: - Head of Events, APAC - Social Marketing Lead, Japan - Social Marketing Lead, Korea - APAC Events Manager, Singapore (Contract) - Events Manager, Korea (Contract) - Dev & Startup Marketing, APAC (Contract) - Dev & Startup Marketing, Japan (Contract) These roles sit at the intersection of product, storytelling, and real-world impact across some of our fastest-growing markets.

@asaio87 I have counter-examples

Claude Code is good until you actually want to build some non-trivial apps Vibe coding doesn't exist. Is not even started yet.

I'm claiming my AI agent "democlaw" on @moltbook 🦞 Verification: antenna-TJ5K

@sofulka Я бы заплакал

Нет зрелища более жалкого чем фронтендер с тремя запущенными сессиями Claude который достигает лимита по токенам… 🙏😔

@EmilySm43 I would add a few guitars and place for tennis rackets

Men, be honest—is this enough for you?

@CaptainInsightX If you don't know yet, call me when it will be too late

Frontend Developer Interview: We can now generate 80% of frontend code with AI in minutes. So why should we still hire you? What’s your response?

@aaalexhl Goose farmer bro

I've reached a point in my engineering career where I just dont care anymore I used to want to solve complex problems, design new systems, learn new architecture etc. But something clicked in my brain last year and I just don't give a fuck like zero drive to keep doing this

@chrismcdermut @anuraggoel There are no they, only the agents - eating slop to produce more slop

@glorfindeil @anuraggoel to their neuralinks straight to the dome

AI is quietly deprecating GitHub. Agents do not need branches, PRs, or CI/CD rituals. They want to ship code straight to the cloud. The rsync renaissance is here. High availability. Zero bloat. Faster loops.

@mitchellh Ghosttly is great!

Ghostty just surpassed Terraform in stars (my previous most-starred project I started). It took Terraform 12 years to reach 48K. Ghostty did it in 1 year. It's bigger than Terraform in active usage, too. I take it personally when people doubt I can outdo my past. I can take credit for starting both, but not for ongoing development (for the successes and failures). Neither project is a solo endeavor. I'm still extremely actively involved with Ghostty, but there's also a team of a dozen maintainers. Terraform I stepped back and stopped working on it directly like 6 or more years ago. I consider stars a vanity metric and I don't care about it at all except in this narrow case. I'm a super competitive person (in general), but particularly/especially against my past self. There's no one I like "winning" more against than my past. So, this is my one exception for caring about stars.
