Yes, but blood tests proved otherwise. Along with the doctor who made the link and by also curing my symptoms within 30 minutes of giving me Lorazepam.
I was told in my first hospital visits that I had an unknown virus, which I told other people. Even though my bloods also shown no COVID or inflammation.

@vaibhavk97 @amasad @Replit @zhenthebuilder Sounds good, thanks guys! Still a massive fan of replit, starting to get the whole team hooked in

@amasad @pbrewcfa @Replit @zhenthebuilder @pbrewcfa please DM me your project details and we will take a look.

This is probably the lowest I've been since a few years.
Can't find freelance work, was super close of getting a good job in a startup in Switzerland, I failed B2B sales, and I don't know how I'll pay rent this month. Worst of all: my second baby is coming next month.
I did tons of outreach that I should have started earlier. But it'll likely won't bring any result for at least a month.
So yeah, if you're looking for a senior developer with 10+ years of experience (18 in total, 13 as a pro), tons of skills, Laravel + ecosystem expert, LLMs expert, design expertise, business expertise, etc.
Feel free to reach out.

A core part of our mission at Replit is empowering entrepreneurs, which is why we introduced a new tier focused on small businesses.
Among other things Pro tier gives you premium support (<24hr SLA) and access to exclusive community to connect with other builders.
Highly recommend upgrading if you’re serious about building or running your business on Replit.

claude code can now debug and heal itself to get you to a 99% completed n8n workflow from plain english.
not a typo. not hypothetical. i tested it 30 minutes ago.
here's the gap nobody talks about:
you describe a workflow to claude. it builds 90% of it perfectly. then you hit the wall.
→ webhook returns 401
→ google sheets node throws "undefined"
→ credentials don't authenticate
→ one node silently passes empty data
that last 10% used to take longer than the first 90%.
not anymore.
here's what changed:
when you connect synta's MCP to claude, it stops guessing and starts operating.
it builds the workflow directly in your n8n instance.
triggers it with real data.
watches it fail.
reads the actual error - not a hallucination of what the error might be.
searches current n8n docs for the fix.
applies it.
re-runs.
repeats until every node passes.
you don't open n8n. you don't google error codes. you don't touch a single node.
i ran this exercise yesterday in 23 minutes:
prompt: "when a new lead fills out my typeform, enrich with apollo, score by employee count, if score is above 70 send to slack with company details, if below add to a mailchimp nurture sequence"
minute 0-2: claude asked 3 clarifying questions
minute 2-6: built all nodes, connected credentials
minute 6-8: first test run - failed on apollo auth
minute 8-9: caught the error, found the fix, re-authenticated
minute 9-11: second run - mailchimp field mapping was wrong
minute 11-13: fixed mapping, re-tested
minute 13-14: third run - clean. every node green.
minute 14-23: stress tested with 34 leads. zero failures.
total nodes configured manually: 0
total errors googled: 0
total times i opened n8n: 0
the workflow that used to take a weekend now takes less time than your lunch order.
i put together a free PDF with:
→ the exact 20-minute exercise above (step by step)
→ 5 workflow prompts ranked by complexity
→ the setup guide for synta MCP + claude (takes 4 minutes)
→ the prompting framework that gets 95%+ first-attempt completion
→ what to do when it still fails (it's one sentence)
comment "HEAL" and i'll send it over.
(must be following for DM)

@benkellyone $60k per year to PG debt on an accounting firm doesn't really seem worth it.

@ramit Part of my rich life is arguing with influencers for kicks bro 🤷♂️😉
English

@pbrewcfa I've always been pro-consumer. It's striking that the only people who push back against my posts on AUM fees are financial advisors who are, unsurprisingly, compensated by AUM. I've been talking about this for over 20 years, long before any sponsor relationship
English

You seem to be fairly concerned with how financial advisors make a living given your continued focus on AUM fees. Even though it’s not a perfect model (far from it) it produces the best results for those who need the assistance of an advisor. But we’ll have to agree to disagree since you get comp’d by Facet for hucking alternative fee models.
English

@pbrewcfa I appreciate that, but I’m not concerned with how financial advisors make a living
I help people live a Rich Life, and managing investments costs is a core part of that
English

@ramit You can’t run a commercially viable business on flat fee / hourly, etc. mostly early career, hobbyists, or those that haven’t realized it’s not sustainable yet. CAC is too high, LTV too low. Maybe with AI it can be more sustainable.
English

@pbrewcfa This is a great point, and it's why I frequently remind people that there are certain conditions in which a person might want to enlist a financial advisor
But there is zero reason to pay AUM

@8bitsteveo You guys really aren’t going to be happy when it goes sub 20 😂
English

Accurate. Other interesting things that are also related to COVID that people view as broad societal trends; widespread alcohol intolerance from immune dysregulation and histamine intolerance, increased nicotine consumption due to post-viral fatigue and impaired cognition, hyper-fixation on strict diets to mitigate persistent neuroinflammation just to feel somewhat “normal”.
English

@ItIsHoeMath It’s post covid alcohol intolerance. Most people think they are “getting older” and can’t tolerate their booze, but it’s some type of neuro immune reaction to alcohol / histamine after the infection. It will continue to grow.
English

A lot of hot takes on this goin' around.
The biggest reason this is happening is that Gen Z doesn't socialize. When I started drinking, I was sneaking around with my friends and buying malt liquor illegally at a bodega that didn't card, and then hanging out in backyards with "cool parents" with friends of friends and girls from 3 towns over.
Gen Z is not sneaking around anywhere. They're inside on the phone trying to talk to everyone else who's inside on the phone.
Society's dead.

Alcohol consumption has gone into possibly permanent decline, per Bloomberg

@shl If you’re a talented full stack developer and you’re looking to start something, message me. We’re a wealth management firm that’s building a proprietary tech layer for our advisor / consumer clients and looking to distribute the software to other firms.

No longer hiring junior or even mid-level software engineers.
Our tokens per codebase:
Gumroad: 2M
Flexile: 800K
Helper: 500K
Iffy: 200K
Shortest: 100K
Both Claude 3.5 Sonnet and o3-mini have context windows of 200K tokens, meaning they can now write 100% of our Iffy and Shortest code if prompted well.
It won’t be long until AI will be writing all the code for Helper, Flexile, and Gumroad. My guess is by the end of 2026.
Our new process:
1. Sit and chat about what we need to build, doing research with Deep Research as we go.
2. Have AI record everything and turn it into a spec.
3. Clean up the spec, adding any design requirements / other nuances.
4. Have Devin code it up.
5. QA, merge, (auto-)deploy to prod.
