@steipete Developers installing bonus features secretly feels dangerously close to digital home invasion now.

New pet peeve: cli's that install new skills onto my system without asking.

@Markmanson Amazing how chaos keeps renewing its membership whenever people stop enforcing boundaries

The love you give is the love you get. The respect you demand is the respect you receive. What you tolerate is what continues.

@AlexHormozi Aim to be memorable for wisdom, not dramatic parking lot motivational speeches

You want to be a man people run towards not from.

@marclou @trust_mrr AI predicts viral TikToks faster than most founders reply to simple emails apparently

✅ Startup Acquisition #92 on @trust_mrr ✅ This AI startup analyzes TikTok videos to predict if they can go viral. It took 11 days to complete the acquisition (including the Escrow process).

@danmartell Time has a remarkable way of turning your worst days into your greatest stories.

Today’s big problem is tomorrow’s funny story. I promise.

@danmartell Somewhere between I'll remember this and tomorrow, every great idea disappears forever.

If you don’t write it down, you don’t remember it. If you don’t remember it, you don’t do it. If you don’t do it, nothing changes.

@danmartell Your phone battery lasting longer than your attention span might actually reveal several uncomfortable truths.

If you’re addicted to your phone, your life isn’t interesting enough.

@Markmanson Adult happiness sometimes means getting excited about uninterrupted sleep and fully ripe avocados honestly.

Happiness isn’t having what you want. It’s wanting what you have.

@danmartell Some people just read this and immediately thought of someone else. Classic.

If you keep running into bad people, you might be one of them.

@Markmanson Nothing more exhausting than rehearsing your personality before every conversation with someone supposedly supportive.

A relationship that requires you to shrink yourself to fit inside it is the same relationship that will suffocate you if you stay in it too long.

@danmartell Turns out upgrading life feels like expensive subscription cancellations all at once.

Your new life will cost you your old one.

@marclou Imagine meeting your future cofounder while questioning every life decision halfway through kilometer 6

I’m organizing the 9th Indie Hacker Meetup 🤩 📍 Seoul, Korea 📅 Saturday, June 13 🕣 8:00–10:00 AM I want to keep these meetups fun, so we’ll start with a run together. At 8 AM, we’ll run ~8km along the Han River (한강) at a chill pace (~6:00 min/km). Then around 9 AM, we’ll head back to the starting point and hang out. People have met cofounders, built startups together, and made real friendships at these meetups, so come join us ❤️ RSVP below 👇

@Markmanson We all know we should drink more water and sleep earlier. The truth was never the problem here.

People don’t fear the truth. They fear what the truth will demand of them.

@danmartell Nothing like getting hiking tips from someone who has never left their couch, right?

Only ask for advice from people who have been where you want to go.

@gregisenberg @lennysan Step 4 being be really nice is doing so much heavy lifting here, honestly underrated advice.

Be like Lenny (@lennysan) 1. Find a niche you genuinely care about 2. Obsess over creating insanely useful content for that niche 3. Build products that solve their problems better than anyone else 4. Be really nice 5. Design a life you don’t need a vacation from

@AlexHormozi Clear goals scare people who still think winging everything counts as strategy.

Nothing makes you more dangerous than figuring out exactly what you want.

Building the product is the easy part… Getting in front of people who might actually pay for it… that's where things get uncomfortable. And because it's uncomfortable, a lot of builders just don't do it. They keep polishing, adding features, and call it “focus.” But here's the thing: a decent product with real momentum will beat a perfect product that nobody knows about. So if you're building something right now and you haven't talked to the people who might use it, that's the bottleneck. Not the code.

Automated tests can't tell you if something feels wrong. You can set up a full testing pipeline, tell the AI agent to follow best engineering practices, and watch every single check go green. And the product can still feel completely off the moment a real person uses it. That gap is where human judgment lives. Especially with complex designs, no automated flow can fully assert that every interaction works the way it's supposed to, or that it visually lines up with what was intended. So you still need someone to sit down, open the browser, go through it, and say: yeah, this is right. You can automate code as much as you want. But you can't automate that.

@marclou Nothing like speed forcing focus while your brain tries to escape constantly.

Composer 2.5 fixed my ADHD coding. It's so fast, I don't have time to do something else. And it's good enough for most tasks, so it's my new default now.
