@ChrisYost_ Working with Chris is an absolute joy!

Now opening 1-on-1 strategy sessions — ICP, Claude, Building on IC w/ Claude Code, agentic systems, content pipelines, whatever you're shipping. Not price action. Not TA. Just building. Doors wide open. Slots limited. Book now.

@ChrisYost_ @claudeai @swissyai Haha I was just pitching a friend last night about why I love to use an IDE to house multiple visible terminals for CC CLI over the desktop app and this drops

@claudeai @swissyai @heycoburn omg they heard my prayers… maybe now i can finally wrangle my 17 terminal windows 🤣

We've redesigned Claude Code on desktop. You can now run multiple Claude sessions side by side from one window, with a new sidebar to manage them all.

@thepatwalls @HubSpot This is the real starter story. What an inspiring ride. Appreciate all you’ve done and shared with us, Pat!

8 years ago, I started a side project inside of a tiny Starbucks. Today, Starter Story is being acquired by @HubSpot. Here’s how it happened.

@themorapour @AnthropicAI Exciting times 😁

@heycoburn @AnthropicAI Look how excited you are just from posting after a month

Happy Opus 4.6 Day @AnthropicAI I haven’t been this excited about a model update since GPT-4. From day one, Opus 4.5 was a game changer. Its efficacy was indisputable, building complex features from minimal prompting with ease. It set the bar for coding agents. Cant wait to tear through features, architectures, and projects faster and more elegantly than ever. Lets go!

@bcherny Christmas in February. Opus 4.5 set a new bar. So genuinely stoked about 4.6. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it thus far, Boris!

I've been using Opus 4.6 for a bit -- it is our best model yet. It is more agentic, more intelligent, runs for longer, and is more careful and exhaustive. For Claude Code users, you can also now more precisely tune how much the model thinks. Run /model and arrow left/right to tune effort (less = faster, more = longer thinking & better results). Happy coding!

@claudeai Congrats team. Absolutely stoked about this. Here’s to another game-changer 🥂

Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade. Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes. It’s also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.

3 days in and my Linear-inspired voice assistant is on TestFlight. I’m so stoked to start using it for my hands-free planning and mental clarity flows. This project has been done entirely in Claude Code via Cursor. Would recommend! Oh, except for the voice memos -> chatGPT design docs that laid the guidelines to kick it off. But now my new project will soon replace that. Excited to start sharing this one out soon.

New year, new project. First time setting up an expo app in a mono repo. Went from subscribing to Claude Code to Max tier in the same sitting. Completely reorganized my office to feel more alive. Excited to share this new productivity app with yall soon!

I spent $400 of my own buckaroos on Cursor this month. *checks stocking for credits* It miiight be time to switch to Claude Code 😅 Did anyone beat me on personal spend?

@StevenIrby Found ya there! Keep goin man!

Wow... My site randomly got added to Hacker News. crazyfast.website

Another week, another shift in product direction. It sounds crazy, and I feel silly, but I’m super intrigued by this feedback theme from users. They love Supalific for how it helps them process emotional experiences. Like, what a beautiful part to play. To me, this is a much more authentic and exciting direction. One that I could genuinely be excited to pitch and market. Next steps: 1. Rework pitch and story 2. Talk to friends in mental health roles and their networks to explore opportunity 3. Adapt accordingly

@NanouuSymeon This is the 9-5 I'm proud of ☺️

As a Developer, what time do you sleep?

@denisyurchak @levelsio Congrats on a heck of a year, Denis! Loved reading your story. Can't wait to see what comes next for ya!

2025 was my first successful year as an indie hacker I grinded for 5 years without any glimpse of hope and then suddenly it all happened at once I saw a tweet by @levelsio, built my own Skype replacement called Yadaphone in three days and launched it on Reddit 3 months later it was already making more than $15k MRR I suddenly believed that I was more than just an NPC 9–5 programmer I scaled Yada to 15,000 users without hiring any support staff and still reply to support messages in under an hour I got my first real B2B clients - huge companies that use Yada as their go-to VoIP solution I also got my first organic traffic from Google which honestly felt like pure magic While all of this was happening I got married and my beautiful wife moved in with me in Vienna I started posting on X and grew it from 100 followers (mostly bots) to more than 3,000 Out of nowhere @thepatwalls appeared and now my face is in a 15-minute video on Starter Story I spent a month in Bali and met the GOAT @marclou in person I got my share of loses as well I made a lot of dumb mistakes with SEO that let my competitors get way more traffic than me For several months product growth stagnated and I switched to building a new thing that I never launched instead of focusing on marketing I still do consulting and sell my time - I got addicted to making money with product + freelancing too much to quit it yet I had several burn out episodes + messed up sleep schedule quite bad and now get up at 10, going to be at 2 AM usually Like all of us, I’m anything but perfect but I try to make do with what I have —— While writing this post I kept thinking that this did not happen to me but it happened to some other cooler and better Denis But guys, guess what, it did The world is huge - keep building skills, researching your audience, and posting - eventually you are guaranteed to build a product that will absolutely change your life So keep going (c) @jackfriks

I’ve made some grave mistakes lately. Sure, snoozing on X was one of them, but maybe not the worst. I fell prey to Shiny Object Syndrome (once again - classic enneagram 7). I let my first project atrophy - right at the gates of monetization. It was rejected from Apple with a simple change needed for resubmission. But I let myself get too excited about the next opportunity. It would’ve taken just an hour to get it back on track. But that turned into days, and then weeks of delay. And I know, for me, there’s another cost. It weighs on me to have a loose end like that. It drags me down. So don’t be like me. Be better. Tend to your garden. All parts of it. Build responsibly ✨ Happy holidays and have a beautiful week!

@thedennisobaro1 Everything feels just right. Stoked to find ya, mate!

Nothing beats watching your own idea come to life. Just wrapped up the first prototype of this app, and the clients are extremely pleased, they even sent additional funds because they loved it that much. I’m really enjoying the experience and the playful direction this product is taking.

@thdxr An absolute goldmine of a thread - thanks for kickin' this off! Lots of new friends in here :)

who's the best "build in public" person you follow basically does a good job talking about everything they do and it's high quality

@weswinder applications > applications

stop mass applying to jobs build one thing that solves your own problem put it on github post about it on x you'll have job offers within a month

@maorshlomo Really makes me wonder if the opportunity for startups dramatically shifts toward Consumer if businesses are just able to build their own tech for any problem statement in house.

Vibe coding is going through a transition. I've been seeing a lot of posts lately about vibe coding, ranging from "it’s shit and only good for prototyping", all the way to "R.I.P. every SaaS company ever." Here's one thing I can say: Since we introduced Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3 to @Base44, the adoption we're seeing among organizations building their own CRMs and project management tools is astonishing. Yes, the results aren't as feature-rich as HubSpot or ClickUp, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. They're building a leaner, more customized version tailored to their specific needs. The ability to build your own tools is improving fast, and the software industry is about to look very different.
