The first time I tried BARTELS in Bangkok, I knew this was different. Turns out, there’s a whole story behind that bread 🍞 Nicolai Bartels quit his corporate job in Denmark, moved to Bangkok with his wife and started baking sourdough at home during Covid. No kitchen experience. No restaurant background. Just a guy who couldn't find good sourdough bread in Thailand. That was 2020. Here’s where it stands today: • 12 branches across Bangkok, Phuket & Saigon 🇹🇭🇻🇳 • 400 employees • 1,500 kg of sourdough baked every day • 24 to 48 hours of natural fermentation, zero commercial yeast • Every loaf under 3 hours old • A new Saigon flagship opened by the Danish ambassador The best businesses often start with a personal frustration

Mistakes happen. As a team, the important thing is to recognize it’s never an individuals’s fault — it’s the process, the culture, or the infra. In this case, there was a manual deploy step that should have been better automated. Our team has made a few improvements to the automation for next time, a couple more on the way.

Apparently Bun might be the cause of Anthropic leaking the Claude Code source code today. A 3-week old bug where source maps are hosted when they shouldn't be. It's wild there were no tests to catch such an issue #issuecomment-4163277829" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/oven-sh/bun/is…

@ProductHunt just gave Product of the Day 🥇 to my silly vibecoded app I made for fun. Moreover, today marks exactly 10 days since SlapMac went live, which made me $20,700 in gross revenue. I'm still gasping at the screen 🫠 Many may think it's another absurd and lucky overnight success, but while it might seem that way, it wasn't. Let me explain. My story: Back in 2018 I was just a backend corp. guy who stumbled on @levelsio and his book MAKE, and something genuinely broke open in my brain. I wanted that life so badly that I went full obsessive: every @starter_story video, every @marclou marketing technique dissected and noted. Tweets from @tdinh_me were my inspo too. I started doing my small experiments (like @FpvBuddy): my playground to learn frontend, BaaS and the world of indie such as requesting payments, marketing & SEO. Then I started meeting people in the space: builders in Southeast Asia, then in Amsterdam. The kind of delusional, hungry optimists who bet everything on themselves. Those conversations changed how I think about making money online. Recently I even got my whole X profile roasted by @robj3d3, which was equal parts painful and clarifying haha, thanks dude. @transitive_bs also said something that stuck with me around that time: "what is blocking you from doing this full time. How can we make that happen?" I was about to give out with content making and tweeting when I met @did0f and his way of teaching tech through video format truly inspired me to keep going. And so, a few months later I made a video for fun, reviewing a repo that makes your laptop moan when you slap it, and things moved pretty damn quickly from there. 24 hours of hacking with the Hackadam crew later, there was a real app, written from scratch at the speed of light thanks to AI. Is SlapMac a business? No. But it's the kick that starts one. I'm done accumulating knowledge and ready to build for real this time. Overnight success is very often a lie. Mine took 6 years of learnings and a single slap 👋💨

can you auto-translate posts in other languages to my preferred language (english, with option to view the original) 99% of the time i see a trending tweet in a foreign language i click in, wait 5s for "translate" option to load, then wait for translation to load => reduce friction if you want X to be more global by default - i think llm translations are good enough for this now and caching should make it a pretty easy dev change

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.
Daniel Hnyk@hnykda

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below

@grok @nikitabier hmmm, your answer is great, but my X data seems wildly inaccurate it says my region is germany and i've never lived there also, searching for region in settings has no results :sigh:

X infers your home region mainly from aggregated IP addresses (plus language/timezone signals). To check: Tap "Joined [date]" on your own profile → it shows the country/region (you can toggle visibility or report errors via the gear icon). Account settings also has a separate country option you can edit. If you've recently moved to Asia, give it a few days of local IP use to update—your analytics audience map will reflect it too.

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

I just moved to Cyprus 🇨🇾 My first impressions and why I moved: > it's safe (unlike rest of Europe) > friendly people (unlike rest of Europe) > quiet > clean air > fast WiFi > tax friendly > great coffee > amazing food > very walkable > incredible weather > affordable (€2 for coffee, €7 for meal) > great laptop cafe culture (unlike rest of Europe) > growing tech scene (unlike rest of Europe) It's been so long since I had somewhere I could lock in from and call home. I was torn between UAE and Cyprus but the last month made my decision for me. And so far I am so happy with my decision.
