Day 2/30 until I earn my first $ online Day 1: built a landing page and mass produced false confidence Day 2: opened my IDE and mass produced boilerplate → Repo set up → APIs chosen → Core feature started: paste a viral video → get the transcript Should work by Thursday 😅

@Funminz @grok does she mention elsewhere how her share of flat expenses is just under 700£?

Everyone’s reality is so different. £90,000 salary. Brown tax.

@dotta It's what Clippy only dreamt of becoming

Paperclip is the most exciting thing since Claude Code

Or maybe I just have very simple problems, apparently.

Unexpected side effect of switching to engineering: solving coding problems all day creates massive spillovers. Every life problem now feels solvable with enough time and effort. Then AI arrived and made that feeling 100× stronger.

@levelsio Which is problematic because the conversation shifts away from topics that actually significantly contribute to economic inequality

@levelsio I feel like this narrative is getting wayyy to much attention compared to how many immigrants are actually coming in, and what the economic impact of that is

I asked AI: Who benefits financially if Europe brings in low/no income low educated non-culturally aligned welfare seekers from the third world? "There are identifiable financial beneficiaries, and this is well-documented in immigration economics literature. Here's who actually profits: 1. Employers in low-wage sectors - Construction, agriculture, food processing, cleaning, logistics - Labor supply increase suppresses wages, boosting margins - Reduces pressure to automate or improve conditions 2. Landlords & property owners - Housing demand spikes in urban areas → rent increases - Existing homeowners see property value appreciation - Slum landlords and housing associations benefit most directly 3. Migration industry - Lawyers, NGOs, translators, integration consultants - This is a multi-billion euro industry in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands alone - NGOs often receive per-head government funding — direct financial incentive to maximize intake 4. Retail & consumer goods - Raw volume of consumers increases - Governments often provide vouchers/cash that flows directly into consumption 5. Governments (short-term optics) - GDP headline number goes up with population growth - Politicians can claim “growth” while GDP per capita may stagnate or fall Who Bears the Costs - Native low-skilled workers — direct wage competition, most economically vulnerable - Taxpayers — welfare, housing, education, healthcare, judicial costs - Public service users — longer queues, diluted services - Lower-middle class neighborhoods — concentrated social externalities It’s essentially a privatization of gains, socialization of costs structure Employers and landlords capture upside; diffuse taxpayer population absorbs downside. This is why mainstream economists who focus on aggregate GDP often support high immigration while working-class populations in receiving areas oppose it: they’re experiencing completely different economic realities. George Borjas (Harvard) vs. Card/Peri debate covers this empirically in depth if you want the academic trail.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

Anthropic just announced a new Certified Architect certification. First 5000 exams are free

@dirtyculture @tibo_maker @grok what is the story and why is it a bit scammy?

@tibo_maker It's Cal AI ...and actually, the whole story is a little bit scammy.

this 19yo built & sold a $4.1m/month AI app in his high school he explained exactly how he did it it's a masterclass on building AI consumer apps

@levelsio @chiropractic Especially with this new endpoint from Cloudflare it’s easier than ever x.com/cloudflaredev/…

@chiropractic AI can just crawl it / browse it fine

Thank god MCP is dead Just as useless of an idea as LLMs.txt was It's all dumb abstractions that AI doesn't need because AI's are as smart as humans so they can just use what was already there which is APIs

@SoraiaDev You should have a look at trustmrr.com, it’s built by the legendary @marclou and has verified revenue numbers. (I’m not affiliated just a fanboy lol)

Hear me out. Instead of putting money in stocks I'm thinking of buying a small SaaS with MRR Is this the dumbest idea I've ever had or the smartest?

Hey @0xSigil @ConwayResearch, just bought USDC + credits on Conway to spin up a VM. Hit "Create" and got a 503: "No healthy workers available." Looked at the worker metrics your own API exposes. Every node is way past its max capacity (440+ sandboxes on 300-max nodes, 0 vCPUs free). One node is straight up offline. The infra being overloaded is one thing. But why am I able to buy credits for a service that can't provision anything right now? There's no capacity indicator before checkout, no queue, no waitlist. Just a payment flow into a 503. If you're at capacity, gate the purchases. Don't tell people to "sleep and wait."

@Fatbeard991 So good it looks AI generated

My art is good, the algorithm just ignores me My art is good, the algorithm just ignores me My art is good, the algorithm just ignores me My art is good, the algorithm just ignores me My art is good, the algorithm just ignores me

@_falsi1ke What’s up everyone! What is your reason for using X? I’m a builder and want to share what I’m working on with the world

No account should be under 1K followers Say hello, I will boost you

@ylecun This is great news for Europe’s AI independence. Thanks for leading the way!

Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs). We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company. We're hiring! [the background image is the Veil Nebula - a picture I took from my backyard, most appropriate for an unveiling] More details here: techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/yan…

I'm new to X and only now realising how cool it is that you can talk to literally EVERYONE here. How have I not done this before?

Day 5/30 until I earn my first $ online First signups!!! Uh oh... don't have any automatic signup emails. So implemented that as well ✅ Also reached out to creators for feedback on X and TikTok. Unfortunately TT thought I was a bot and blocked my messages..

Day 4/40 until I earn my first $ online HA! Tiktok, YT, and insta were blocking requests coming in from IPs from datacenters, and Cobalt didn't have the customisability that I needed. Ended up rebuilding and redeploying in my own way. Guess slow really IS fast and vice versa

Day 3/30 until I earn my first $ online I deployed the audio extractor using cobalt and railway. Both are cool you should check them out!

Haven't shared any updates in a couple of days. Here's what I've been working on:
