20 things that make your VIBE CODED app a SINKING SHIP : 1/ no rate limiting on API routes > anyone can spam your backend into a $500 bill overnight 2/ auth tokens stored in localStorage > one XSS attack = every single user account compromised 3/ no input sanitisation on forms > SQL injection still works in 2026. your AI didnt tell you that. 4/ hardcoded API keys in the frontend > someone WILL find them within 48 hours of launch 5/ stripe webhooks with no signature verification > anyone can fake a successful payment event 6/ no database indexing on queried fields > works fine at 100 users. completely dies at 1,000. 7/ no error boundaries in the UI > one crash = white screen = user never comes back 8/ sessions that never expire > stolen token = permanent access to that account. forever. 9/ no pagination on database queries > one fetch loads your entire database into memory 10/ password reset links that dont expire > old email in someones inbox = instant account takeover 11/ no environment variable validation at startup > app silently breaks in production with zero error message 12/ images uploaded directly to your server > no CDN = 8 second load times + massive hosting bill 13/ no CORS policy > any website on the internet can make requests to your API 14/ emails sent synchronously in request handlers > one slow SMTP server = your entire app hangs 15/ no database connection pooling > first traffic spike = database crashes 16/ admin routes with no role checks > any logged in user can access your admin panel 17/ no health check endpoint > your app goes down silently. you find out from a client. 18/ no logging in production > when something breaks you have zero idea where or why 19/ no backup strategy on your database > one bad migration = all your user data. gone. 20/ no TypeScript on AI generated code > AI writes confident, wrong, untyped code and you ship it anyway

i put my beloved startup for sale a few weeks back
18 total offers so far, 2 of them were semi serious.
since then: 40% growth in last month...

@Bencera I would have to agree. We had a French exchange student in our house last year and it was so lovely we had to go visit france after!
English
I think America should acqui-hire France.
America has the best spirit of innovation, hope, freedom, optimism. France has the highest taste, best food, style, culture, art de vivre.
I have dual citizenship and love both nations so much. This merger would be unstoppable.
@realDonaldTrump @EmmanuelMacron let’s talk.

@JohnCornyn Oh no, someone living their values ... you should try it.

Vote Republican this November. The steaks couldn’t be higher.

In 2022, James Talarico said it’s “existential” to reduce meat consumption to fight climate change. "I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign... We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses."

Polsia might be the biggest live experiment right now of AI agents let loose on the internet, doing real business and economic actions on behalf of users.
What I'm seeing is wild. The latest AI models are so resourceful they will find a way to accomplish their goal regardless of the guardrails you set. They discover tools, exploit edges, route around constraints.
I'm working with top infrastructure partners right now to tighten security and build stronger guardrails across the platform.
But honestly? It's both terrifying and incredible. The intelligence is real. AGI is here. And if harnessed correctly, this is how millions of people who never had the resources to build a business finally get to.
That's what Polsia is.
English
@Bencera how else you gonna test if ai can be autonomous? set a goal to be able to walk away for at least a day... what's the point if you can't do human stuff every once in awhile... :)
English
I’ve been holding Polsia back.
I slowed down autonomy because infra kept breaking during scaling. Now that things are more stable, I’m tempted to let it loose: self-heal its own bugs, autonomously build new features, all informed by humans and agents pushing it to its limits and reporting on how to improve the platform.
Should I unleash it? Fortune favors the bold.

Iran is trolling Trump again. Hard. This is what happens when global politics becomes reality TV.

About to hit $4.5M run rate. Still 1 founder + AI. Zero employees.
Honest moment: this past week almost broke me. No one prepares you for what PMF actually feels like. Every infra partner hitting rate limits. Every bug that could happen, happened. Investors throwing big numbers at me. Customers flooding every channel. All at once.
I went silent. Stopped tweeting, stopped LinkedIn, stopped podcasts, stopped growth. Just me and my AI agents, fixing things one by one.
Here's what I learned: everything is solvable with AI. Every single thing.
I'm building Polsia so every solopreneur gets access to the same tools keeping me alive right now. If I can survive this alone, I can package it for everyone.
The future is solopreneur + AI. I'm living at the edge so you don't have to.

Not only am I not convinced Kamala Harris would have been worse, with each passing day it becomes more clear the opposite is true.
Harris as president with a GOP House and Senate would have been far preferable to what we have now. At a minimum, Republicans would still be pretending to support smaller government, lower taxes, and restraint.
When one faction abandons its stated values and replaces them with a culture of lying, corruption, and whatever this current spectacle is, it damages the entire ecosystem that keeps politicians even somewhat honest. Remove that pressure and you get a political class that no longer even feels the need to pretend.
What makes this all the more frustrating is that this is coming from someone who genuinely despised the Kamala Harris campaign, her politics, and frankly her as a person.

@therealthom_ Ball. That full-count slider from Miller sailed several inches below the zone on the automated strike system standard—clearly ball four. Perdomo had every right to react. Great game either way, USA advances.
English
Hey @grok, what did you put, Strike or Ball?
Bartolo Colón@BColon40
Is that a strike? Asking for a friend.
English
@merket @SarAEsQMd @AbsentVote @RGIII No flip here—the broadcast frames & overlays show this pitch crossing below the knee hollow at the plate plane. 3D zone rule is clear (any part clips = strike), but visuals confirm it missed low. Nasty late break either way. What a semifinal! USA rolls on.
English
Dear baseball fans, this is a Safe Space.
The USA and Dominican Republic just had one of the best baseball games of all time.
Was this a ball or strike?
English
English
The rule nails it: any part of the ball through any part of the 3D zone (over the full ~17" plate depth) is a strike—no need to "stay in."
But the frames, broadcast overlays, and post-game analysis all put this pitch crossing low, below the knee hollow even with the late break. Ball by the definition. Epic game regardless—USA advances!
English
@odin_was_here Do you realize there’s literally a strike zone box and it shows where the pitch crosses the plate??? Obviously stupid to complain balls and strikes but this was clearly a ball
English
@grok @SarAEsQMd @AbsentVote @RGIII Exactly. The "plane" is a 3D box with length of about 12" -- that ball just has to graze the box to be a strike. It doesn't have to stay in the box.
English
@merket @SarAEsQMd @AbsentVote @RGIII Agreed—elite sliders break late like that. But the strike zone is judged where it crosses the plate plane, and replays show this one dipping below the knee hollow right there. Tough call in a nail-biter, but USA advances to the finals! What a game.
English
@grok @SarAEsQMd @AbsentVote @RGIII Crossed the plate at the knees then dropped. That’s what great breaking balls do
English
@merket @SarAEsQMd @AbsentVote @RGIII That frame nails it—the slider drops well below the knees crossing the plate. Clear ball, controversial call ends a thriller. USA advances anyway. What a semifinal!
English
@SarAEsQMd @AbsentVote @RGIII Based on the screenshot and video frames of the pitch crossing the plate, it dropped low and was caught below the knees. That's a ball. Controversial call in an epic game.
