PAKE INI BIAR CODING PAKE CODEX GA NGACO MULU
gua nemu bro custom instruction GRATIS buat Codex
buatan @karpathy
ini tuh AGENTS.md (plus instruction.md & SKILL.md) 🎯
gua taro aja Github repo nya di komen
tujuannya buat apa aja:
> bikin Codex jadi programmer senior yang super disiplin
> berpikir dulu sebelum mulai code
> gak over-engineer, kerjain persis yang diminta
> cuma ubah yang perlu, gak sentuh file lain
> sebelum bilang “done”, AI nya langsung cek sendiri targetnya udah bener
> ngurangin halusinasi, overbuilding & ngubah kode sembarangan
berguna poll kalo lu sering pake Codex buat coding (apalagi project gede atau production)

@ism_sol Aku dapat perplexity pro, free dari promo yg udah expired. Support banyak model premium, Claude sonnet, grok, GPT 5.5 dan berguna bgt buat ngerilis dokumen PRD, scraping dan research web, dan jadi buat bahan belajar. Kalau perplexity free rasanya unusable sih.

Your portfolio has one job.
Make someone who's never met you feel like they already know exactly what kind of designer you are.
These things will help:
1. Show the work. Immediately.
I cannot tell you how many beautiful portfolios I clicked off of because I couldn't find the work. Stunning animations, incredible typography, clever interactions nut no work anywhere to found quickly. I'm hiring a designer. Show me what you design! If I have to scroll more than a few seconds to find work, I'm gone. Those hiring have thousands of these to get through. They'll appreciate the time you save them by showing your work in a respectful time.
2. Don't hide work behind rollovers.
I know it looks cool. But I'm in a hurry. If your work is hidden, I'm not finding it.
3. Three projects is not a portfolio. It's a teaser.
If you only have 3-4 projects showing, I immediately wonder what have you been doing? Where are the side projects? The experiments? The fun stuff you made at 2am just because you wanted to? Show more work! Not everything has to be a polished case study (most shouldn't tbh because no one is reading it). Throw in the logo you made for fun. The brand concept nobody hired you for. The UI exploration you did on a weekend. That's the stuff that tells me who you really are as a designer.
4. Stop repeating your name.
I clicked on your link. I know your name. The first thing I need to see is your work, not your name three times.
5. Don't make me figure out how to use your site.
If your portfolio requires instructions, it's too complicated. I don't have time. Neither does the person hiring you. Do you read instructions? Probably not either.
6. The about me section matters more than you think.
The portfolios that stopped me all had one thing in common. I felt like I knew the person. Their pets. Their hobbies. Their personality. Design is a team sport. I'm not just hiring your work. I'm hiring YOU. If it came down to two equally talented designers where one surfed and the other displayed no outside hobbies, I'm going with the person I can connect more with, the surfer since we'll have things to talk about besides work. Use this to your advantage. It's the secret tip most most.
*The portfolios that make my final list all do this:
Work visible immediately. Clear about what they do. Personality came through. Something unique that made me stop and explore.
*The ones that don't make it:
Beautiful design. No work. Or work hidden so much I gave up finding it.
Important note: With all that said, the #1 thing that gets people hired: relationships.
I'm not gonna lie. The people I already know online get looked at first. Every time. That's not fair, but it's real.
Make relationships.
Be a kind person.
Get the work.

@worksfess Cari temen buat diajak COD, berburu laptop di fb marketplace aja. Cek fisik, cek lubang baut apakah longgar, cek kesehatan ssd atau HDD, cek bintik di layar, download software benchmark di flashdisk, perform benchmark di tempat pas COD. Goodluck.

Oxford researcher did a full deep dive on China’s “proxy station economy” for Claude/OpenAI access - chinatalk.media/p/how-to-buy-c…
The cheap pricing is basically just arbitrage.
People reverse engineered Codex into API proxies, then stacked cheaper regional subscriptions + free ChatGPT trials on top of it.

aditya@adxtyahq
Chinese students are buying GPT-5.4/5.5 and Claude API access from Xianyu/Taobao proxy sellers for almost 96-97% cheaper People are apparently burning 100M+ tokens a day for like $1 and vibecoding nonstop.

Here are 10 GitHub repos that quietly print money while you sleep.
1. Cal. com
Open-source Calendly. Fork it, white-label it, sell to dentists and lawyers for $200/month. The founders hit $5M ARR in 3 years doing exactly this.
Repo → github.com/calcom/cal.com
2. Plausible Analytics
Privacy-first Google Analytics. Self-host it, resell to agencies for $50/month per client. Two founders bootstrapped this to 7 figures.
Repo → github.com/plausible/anal…
3. Ghost
Open-source Substack with 100% margin. 1,000 readers at $5/month equals $60,000 a year. Forever.
Repo → github.com/TryGhost/Ghost
4. n8n
Open-source Zapier. Sell automation services for $500-$2,000 per setup. n8n raised $14M because the agency model behind it works.
Repo → github.com/n8n-io/n8n
5. Supabase
Free Firebase replacement. Build a SaaS in a weekend, charge $29-$99/month. They raised $116M for a reason.
Repo → github.com/supabase/supab…
6. Medusa
Open-source Shopify. Take 5% on every sale forever. Zero rev share to Shopify.
Repo → github.com/medusajs/medusa
7. AppFlowy
Open-source Notion. Sell self-hosted to enterprises worried about data privacy. They raised $30M because this market is massive.
Repo → github.com/AppFlowy-IO/Ap…
8. Coolify

Repo → github.com/coollabsio/coo…
9. Listmonk

Repo → github.com/knadh/listmonk
10. Penpot
Open-source Figma. Sell self-hosted design tools to agencies who refuse to upload client files to the cloud.
Repo → github.com/penpot/penpot
The difference between developers who build features and developers who build businesses is one decision.
Pick one of these. Fork it this weekend. Ship it next week.
The founders behind these repos already proved the model.
Save this. Share it with the developer in your life who deserves to break free.
100% free. 100% open source.

Saya ada cerita seorang bapak.
Dia kerja 20 tahun buat biayain anaknya kuliah S1.
Lembur.
Utang.
Sampai jual tanah warisan.
Anaknya lulus. IPK bagus.
Wisuda lengkap dengan toga.
Sekarang anaknya kerja serabutan. Gaji di bawah UMR.
Dan si bapak masih senyum bilang,
"Mungkin belum rezekinya."
Yang bikin saya merenung bukan cerita anaknya.
Tapi cerita si bapak.
Dia lahir tahun 70-an.
Gak tamat SMA pun bisa buka toko,
punya rumah,
besarin anak dengan layak.
Logikanya simpel dan masuk akal:
"Dulu gw gak sekolah tinggi aja bisa. Kalau anak gw kuliah,
hidupnya pasti jauh lebih baik dari bapaknya."
Logika itu benar. Di zamannya.
Masalahnya bukan orang tua yang salah didik.
Bukan juga anaknya yang kurang usaha.
Tapi janji yang mereka pegang sudah kedaluwarsa.
Ijazah dulu adalah tiket.
Sekarang ijazah adalah syarat minimum.
Yang bahkan kadang pun masih belum cukup.
Dua hal yang kelihatannya sama, tapi sebetulnya beda jauh.
Bayangin ya.
Tahun 1995,
fresh graduate langsung diperebutkan perusahaan.
Sekarang,
lowongan entry level minta pengalaman 2 tahun,
skill digital, bisa multitasking, dan siap ditempatkan di mana saja.
Gajinya?
UMR aja belum tentu.
Hampir sama kalau dikonversi ke harga waktu itu.
Tapi harga rumah, kontrakan, dan beras sudah tidak ikut berdiam di angka yang sama.
Generasi 90-an pasti hafal nasihat ini:
"Rajin sekolah, biar dapat kerja bagus."
"Kuliah dulu, baru enak hidupnya."
"Investasi terbaik itu pendidikan."
Nasihat itu bukan bohong.
Di zamannya, itu benar dan terbukti.
Tapi zamannya sudah ganti.
Nasihatnya tidak ikut ganti.
Dan anak-anak kita tumbuh sambil pegang peta zaman dulu
yang sudah tidak cocok sama jalanan yang mereka hadapi sekarang.
Saya pernah ngobrol panjang sama seorang teman.
Dia cerita,
"Bokap gw sampai jual motor buat bayar UKT semester terakhir gw."
Saya tanya, "Sekarang kerjanya apa?"
"Freelance desain. Kadang ada job, kadang enggak."
"Bokap lu tau?"
"Tau. Dia bilang sabar, rezeki ada aja. Tapi gw liat matanya... dia bingung."
Si bapak bingung bukan karena anaknya gagal.
Tapi karena cara yang dulu berhasil sekarang tidak lagi bekerja.
Dan dia tidak punya peta baru untuk dikasih ke anaknya.
Kalau anakmu masih sekolah atau mau kuliah,
jangan cuma pikirin jurusannya.
Tapi ajarin juga:
1. Ajarin dia cara kerja uang sejak kecil.
2. Bekali satu skill konkret yang bisa langsung menghasilkan.
Sebelum dia lulus dan bingung mau mulai dari mana.
3. Kasih ruang buat gagal kecil sekarang.
Biar dia gak gagal besar pertama kali justru di dunia nyata.
4. Jangan cuma bekali ijazah. Bekali juga kemampuan bertahan.
Bukan berarti kuliah tidak penting. Tapi kuliah saja sudah tidak cukup.
Soalnya begini.
Orang tua yang paling menyiapkan anaknya bukan yang paling banyak bayar biaya kuliah.
Tapi yang paling jujur bisa ngomong ke anaknya:
"Dunia yang kamu masuki berbeda dari dunia yang Ayah dan Ibu kenal.
Kita harus cari tau bareng-bareng."
Kejujuran itu lebih berharga dari SPP mana pun.
Dan seperti biasa, selalu ada dua kubu.
Kubu pertama bilang,
"Orang tua salah. Harusnya ajarin skill, bukan kejar gelar."
Kubu kedua bilang,
"Orang tua sudah benar. Anaknya yang kurang mau usaha."
Tapi ada kemungkinan ketiga yang jarang ada yang mau nyebut:
Dua-duanya sudah berusaha sebaik yang mereka bisa dengan informasi yang mereka punya.
Tapi sistemnya yang tidak pernah jujur ke keduanya.
Generasi kita mungkin adalah generasi pertama yang hidupnya lebih susah dari orang tuanya.
Bukan karena malas. Bukan karena manja.
Tapi karena peta yang diajarkan ternyata sudah tidak relevan saat mereka datang.
Dan orang tua mereka masih dengan tulus menunjuk ke peta yang didapat dulu.
