@0xaxit @emergentlabs @boltdotnew @v0 @grok can you summarize the takeaways

Everyone on my timeline was losing it this week over @emergentlabs raising $130M at a $1.5B valuation. So I gave the same prompt to @boltdotnew @v0 @lovable_dev and Emergent, and read every line of code. One of them shipped a 2019 stack in 2026. Create React App. CRACO. Mongo. No TypeScript. Full teardown 👇 ▶️ recommended watch speed: 1.5x 00:00 The $1.5B question 00:50 The prompt — same for all 4 01:15 @boltdotnew goes first, no pressure 08:48 @emergentlabs enters to a standing ovation 09:41 the UI is a genuine 10/10 12:11 …then I opened the code 14:30 Create React App + CRACO in 2026 15:08 @theo called this exact thing 4 years ago 19:33 Mongo, for a relational app (@theo again) 21:00 the Emergent scorecard 22:23 @v0 has thoughts on your design taste 28:06 @lovable_dev, living up to the name (mostly) 35:03 who I'd actually ship to production 35:50 my questions for @emergentlabs + YC Both @theo videos are linked below — genuinely worth the watch 🧵

@think_in_points I’m sure management they didn’t intend it that way. Just a result of inefficiencies in large companies

@pmxgrowth What a dumb move though. The customer is literally at your doorstep.

Digital isn't always better. I once walked into a Hyundai showroom to test drive a car. Instead of offering a test drive, I was told to book one online, and someone would bring the car to my doorstep. I was literally standing in the showroom, with the cars parked outside. Talk about bad UX/missing process for a walk-in customer. It made me wonder how many walk-in customers they've lost because the process isn't designed for someone who's already at the showroom.

@Jayindcan @chandrarsrikant Still a major upgrade than regular theatres

@pmxgrowth @chandrarsrikant There is no 70MM IMAX theatre in India with analog projectors. All you see are dual laser digital 4x projectors

Done watching #Odyssey. It's a good, one time watch but definitely didn't think it was "God-tier" Nolan like some of the reviews said.

@wittysiddharth What if it becomes more expensive?

Never buy anything expensive the first time you see it. Add it to your cart. Close the app. Wait 24 hours. You'll either: • Stop wanting it. • Find it cheaper elsewhere. • Get a coupon. All three save money.

@sumitdotme Because others are not even paying that much 🥲

How come they’re paying interns only 10–20k even after YC funding?

@ahmedgagan11 You’ve found all of this out by 18. You’re already ahead. You’ll figure it out, you got this!

living in india is hard as an indie dev. you can't access tiktok (u can use vpn ofc but can't run ads). you need a GSTIN number for running ASA (like wtf?? I am an 18 y/o student, how will I have that??) stripe is not avl in india. no like minded people around me. like no one even has an idea of what are they doing with their lives. just mugging up random text books everyday is not my cup of tea. no one encourages what you do and you get to hear "better study than creating apps that no one uses" very often. uncs who don't even know the full form of ai, give you random bs advices on your career. govt doesn't give a fk about anything, its all corrupted.

@krathish @thecosmos @grok what’s the trick?

someone pls explain to me how @thecosmos doing this on linkedin??

@O_Anu_O Be careful. This is when the greedy hairs start showing

Filing tax right now and peak depression is hitting me.

@TheIshanGoswami Who’s handwriting? I prefer to type

i just puke whenever i see anyone handwriting code now

@ranjhaniharshal @nikitabier

WHY DOES THIS APP REFRESH SO MUCH, I WAS READING SOMETHING DUDE

@johaiacchahai toxicity isn’t defined by genders, have had great and terrible experiences on both sides of the house

female managers are worst i repeat they are genuinely worst

@gat0rtheskater It’s a gamble. Don’t expect all the apps to be supported for life

never buy an app from appsumo btw.

Hilarious! Made me chuckle

@ChaiAndMiles How do you get this?

Thought I had hit the jackpot with 3 months of LinkedIn Premium via Airtel Thanks... ...only to realize it also unlocks access to a bunch of other premium apps. 🤯 Here's what I found: ▶️ YouTube Premium 🔒 NordVPN 🤖 Lovable 🧠 Headspace 📝 Notion Did I miss any hidden gems?

@Surendar__05 Pull out my phone and ask Gemini what to do

Devs, What you will do in this situation!🥲

@akashmuni27 File my taxes 🥲

What's the most "adult" thing you did this week? Mine was getting excited about a good water bottle.

@DealsDhamaka Marry right > marry early

If someone in late 20s ask me one thing to say My response - Marry early ❤️ #Life
