@devbelowstairs They got greedy 😂

just trying to write some code but vs code decided to consume my entire machine instead

@balakoteswar Mmm, I think I would have liked old twitter! Payouts created content in abundance but also reduced the average post quality, willingness to experiment and genuine conversations. Feels like this is the trend in the world currently

Those were the early Twitter days, no obsession with followers, impressions, or going viral. People simply shared content, thoughts, memes, and moments for fun and genuine interaction. Now with payouts 💰 becoming the new norm on X, the platform feels more like a race for viral posts, engagement bait, and follower growth. The vibe has shifted from authentic conversations to chasing numbers. But if you spend your time carefully and selectively, you can still find genuine knowledge, meaningful discussions, and quality content on this platform.

Started this account less than 1 week ago with 0 followers. Today I crossed 600+ followers, made a lot of friends here, and connected with so many smart builders, devs, and indie hackers ☺️ A lot of people asked what helped me grow, so here’s my answer: • I mostly focused on connecting with other small to mid-sized accounts in my niche and left thoughtful replies on posts or projects I genuinely found interesting. Those interactions naturally led to mutual support. • I tried to be genuine and supportive, spending time reviewing others’ projects (if asked) or answering questions. This helped me make friends and stay motivated. • For posting: quality > quantity. I only shared things that genuinely interested or surprised me. • My two posts about my own progress performed incredibly well, so don’t be afraid to share your journey publicly. • Always reply to early comments (or all if possible) on your posts. It boosts reach and sparks better conversations. Like wise don’t be shy to ask questions on other people’s posts, they will appreciate it! • Lastly, you don’t need to spend your entire day on X even if it sometimes feels like it :) I work full-time and mostly used my commute, waiting times, or while cooking (2-3 hours a day on average). Consistency and good posts matter more! And honestly… probably a bit of algorithm luck too 😄 Most importantly: make friends, support others, and have fun here 🤝 What has helped you grow or meet great people on X so far?

@AdityaBehe64144 Sure :)

@LauraLunaTech Ohkay cool Then let's connect laura

@balakoteswar Wow, you've been here since 2010. How was it then compared to now?

@LauraLunaTech Great job! It took 16 years for me to build 700 and not 16 days😀.

@yashhq_22 Currently still building the product And trying to build up reach on X and TikTok in parallel!

Solo founders, what stage are you at? - building - launched - revenue - trying to make that first $

@SERobinsonJr When you look at a small place and know the future of the world relies on it’s success! 🚀

Starbase is the greatest place on Earth!

@Metabolic1992 Thanks Joshua 😊

@LauraLunaTech That's astronomical growth! Keep pushing, Laura 👍🏻

@AdityaBehe64144 I tried my best to explain what I did, but obviously a little bit of algorithm luck is involved as well

@LauraLunaTech Like how

@laurencebuilds Thank you Laurence!

@LauraLunaTech Congrats Laura!

@fivepointscap @GrizMeta Maybe the BitBoy Crypto situation? In Germany, a lot of these guys go into insurance and piss everyone they know off by trying to sell them bad insurance, or they liquidate their parents' life savings for“safe“ crypto investments or dropshipping inventory!

@GrizMeta Lmaooo what’s the male version of this? The “How it’s going” portion I mean

I’m dead 💀

@anupamsx Gm ☀️

good morning guys

@ZilchfpBrandon Interesting note, thanks for sharing! Will try out modifying my prompts to see if the output improves!

I was reading OpenAI’s developer guidance today and had a slightly uncomfortable thought: maybe we’ve been over-prompting. Earlier this year, it felt like everyone was trying to win by writing longer prompts: more context, more rules, more examples, more “always do this / never do that.” It made sense at the time. Longer felt safer. But with GPT-5.5, that instinct starts to feel less useful. The guidance points in a different direction: don’t write prompts like operating manuals. Write them like acceptance criteria. Less micromanaging. More clarity on what “great” looks like. Maybe the next phase of prompting is not about adding more instructions. It’s about knowing what to delete.

@BhartiAnsh2007 @X Don’t know if it makes sense to say welcome, because I came here after you, but really happy that we connected Ansh! X really has an amazing community

I am so happy i started posting here on @X Grateful to meet people who wanna connect and grow together just seeing post of them putting effort make me wanna do the same. Learning in public is way better than sitting alone and looking at screen! Thank-you yall for the support.

@JonBuildsHQ You are doing great!

Wow! A few days ago I only had 39 followers here. Started engaging on X like it's my job, and 10x'd my followers in a few days. Loving the energy & feeling so thankful 🙏🙏🙏

@CristIAnXTech @SofiaMarin5555 This would be my suggestion as well

@SofiaMarin5555 love the whale. only thing i'd change is removing the water ring around it and 2d

I’m making the icon for my new app,.. R yall a fan or no ? Rate out of 10

@daemkl Made in Europa sounds good!

@LauraLunaTech What about “Made in Europe”? I like that too

In the future, we will not only need labels like… Made in Germany, Made in India, Made in Korea, but also some kind of label or verification like… Made by a human.

@BuildWithOm Good summary!

@devbelowstairs 🤞

just submitted my first ever macos app to the app store... now we wait...

@Abhishe35257568 Nice to meet you too 😊

@LauraLunaTech Nice to meet you 😊

@Isaacdev0 Thank you Isaac!

@LauraLunaTech Crazy stats, congrats Laura Keep growing 🚀
