I turned down my Amazon return offer, to officially go all in on my startup, and our new office in Toronto

This is the cheap tech stack I’m using to solo develop resumax.ai - AI Coding: Claude Code (large tasks) - Hosting: Vercel - Auth + DB: Supabase - Email: Resend - Payments: Stripe - Code: NextJS There is no excuse not to build something in 2026 with tools like these at your disposable, get grinding.

@anthonyriera Excited to try it out

rankhog.com isn't even officially launched yet, I already have trial flowing! (I expect 3/4 more today) FIRST TIME ONE OF MY PRODUCT ATTRACTS LIKE THIS, but why? > Marketing / distribution is I thing founders' biggest pain > Reddit is hard AF and I found an angle that truly works > Results are obvious > I put a lot of care in the product, even in 97% is vibe coded, it looks and feels good we will see how it goes, but thanks to @marclou & @jackfriks, tomorrow is the day I officially ship this! (with a cool launch video)

My current AI development stack costs about $245 a month. None of this is sponsored. These are the tools I actually use every day. Claude Code is the main one. I use the $200 Max plan for building features, debugging, refactoring, and working across multiple codebases. If you fully use the limits, it can work out to roughly $2,300 in equivalent API usage. CodeRabbit reviews my pull requests and catches issues before they get merged. Wispr Flow lets me speak long technical prompts instead of typing them. Warp is the free terminal I use to manage my Claude Code sessions and jump between projects. It’s not a cheap setup, but as a 22-year-old CTO who also builds apps used by thousands of people for fun, it saves me an insane amount of time.

The AI bubble is the biggest gold rush of our generation. Here’s how to take advantage of it.

For everyone starting out, I built the resource I wish I had 8 years ago called resumax.ai It’s an agentic job search platform that finds your top performing jobs, generates tailored resumes and cover letters based off your profile, then guides you through the entire technical and behavioural interview process.

8 years of coding in 60 seconds… I broke into big tech by doing everything in this roadmap and more (all while documenting it). Since then I got the return offer at Amazon, then turned it down to build my own VC backed startup. So safe to say it works. I would do it all again if I had to restart, so take notes so you can copy me.

@0xkingfaithful Yep! Could only fit so much haha, full yt vlog landing soon with EVERYTHING and all resources 🤝

@swerikcodes you left out the part where you were a java developer, and it landed you an internship at Amazon 🫠

5 free coding resources for all the beginners 🤝

5 things I wish someone told me before I started my first startup

Crazy how much your life can change in a year 😭

I would rather work 100 hours a week working for myself than have a $100k job working for someone else.

One of our enterprise contracts wanted WhatsApp connections for their agents built out. We were told it should take 3-4 weeks to do. I locked in and shipped it in 6 hours…

How to build an app that ACTUALLY works when users start using it.

It’s time to lock tf in this summer…

How to market and grow your app to its first 1000 users

Why you can’t get a software engineering job in 2026 and how to fix it

Every once in a while you just have to lock in and get shit done. Rebuilt the entire Meuze landing page in 30 hours, barely slept.

99% of vibecoded apps don’t have all 5 of these built in, which causes majority security problems…

pov: you work 87 hours a week to avoid a 9-5

Just knowing how to code is not impressive anymore…
