codex is actually insane 🤯 if you thought frontend cloning was impressive, check this out: I just pointed codex at another product, in 30 minutes got back its architecture, data model, prompts with cost estimates. 378-line plan to rebuild it. the craziest part is now I can one shot that entire product with: "/goal implement until your output matches theirs exactly"


After being a dad, I feel guilty if I spend too much on myself on anything. It feels like I'm taking away from my family. Every dollar should be for them. This is how dad clothes exist. I try to keep my lunch under $20. I can get grocery sushi for $12. I can kill at Panda Express for $15. Just grilled a Costco steak for dinner I split in half ($8). It doesn't matter how much money I make, the primal level of guilt I feel spending money on myself turns me monastic. However, I love spending money on the family. The joy of providing for them is the only reason I make money. That is the joy of being a man: how little can you spend on yourself and how much can you give your family?





just came back from hacker residency in Vietnam 18 days. 20 builders. one villa. met @robj3d3 and @eugZolotarenko in person for the first time after building SuperX and Outrank together for 18 months even met @pbteja1998 who built feather before I acquired it. → worked out at 7am with co-founders → made decisions in 3 minutes that would've taken 3 days over slack → remembered what it feels like to be around people building the same thing I didn't want to leave. scheduled my flight months ago and regretted it alot last week 😅 because I forgot how lonely internet money is until i wasn't lonely anymore if you're building alone from your bedroom every day, you're missing this tomorrow's newsletter: why remote works but isolation kills, and what to do about it sign up below. 100% free 👇









Finally joined Xiaohongshu (RedNote) 👀 xhslink.com/m/AGPhXTjj3kE Will occasionally share thoughts on AI, scaling, and AI for science there too.

Grok Build CLI Beta can now be installed directly from Grok Web with a single terminal command. The agentic coding and workflow tool is currently available exclusively for SuperGrok Heavy subscribers. At the same time, xAI is offering a major discount on the Heavy tier: 67% off for the next 6 months, bringing the price down to $99/month instead of $300/month. xAI is moving fast to get more developers building with Grok.
