Hey Builders, Share your App.

@DevPaulC @SXAHSZAH Been noticing this a lot and it makes me want to get off X

@SXAHSZAH but the same conversation over and over and over again!?

is the only way to grow on X is to ask stupid questions like… As a developer, do you eat?

@_dylanga I’m building software that’s been around for 50 years. We’re just doing it better :)

I'm not sure I understand what most software companies are building nowadays

@benfchi Not very polished lately but I’ve been thinking a lot about a post next.js world. nextrs.hirschi.dev/docs/performan…

Almost 900 followers 🤯 One thing I’ve learned: There are way more talented indie hackers building in silence than people realise. If you’re building a product, drop it below. I want to discover more builders and support more launches 🤝

@siiuujal I really like omarchy

As developers what Linux OS do you guys use?

@Tristanrhee3 Very wise!

The fastest way to turn into a bad founder is to fill every moment of quiet with podcasts, CEO interviews, tweets, threads, YouTube videos and audio books. The fastest way to turn into the great founder is to spend more time in quiet and give yourself time to think.

@sflorimm Corporate shlubs

X is full of founders Reddit is full of opinions LinkedIn is full of …

I lol every time I see someone claiming they cancelled all their subscriptions because claude just vibe-coded them all. I've been vibing a simple dev tool that just organizes the PRs I get asked to review. A month in, it mostly works but it utterly lacks polish. I guess vibe-coding is fine for personal use but it's a long long way from replacing anything in the market.

@codewith55 All it needed was a little Taptic Engine!

Unpopular opinion: The MacBook Touch Bar deserved better improvement, not removal

@Tristanrhee3 Congrats Tristan!

350 followers used to be a dream Now it’s a reality and I’m thrilled Truly thankful for each of you

If Air Force One went down last month on its way to china and only one person on board could have been saved, it would be in the world’s best interest that individual is: A) Donald Trump B) Elon Musk C) Jensen Huang And Why?

@cmsinvests I was thinking about this when Air Force One was taking him and Jensen Huang to china last month. If that plane went down the world economy was going down with it!

@cmsinvests If Elon dies, the Ultra Pro Max great depression will be upon us.

Sometimes I feel like putting my entire $40,000 portfolio into $SPCX and just let it ride for the next 40 years. I’m currently 18, would this be a good idea?

@daltonc Every non-technical person I know refers to ChatGPT as chat

NextJs cold starts are so bad in the real world. With the most basic app possible they sit around 1s but if you add literally one dependency it bumps to a 5s cold start. Is anyone successfully server-rendering and not getting perf complaints from users?

A 2009 PHP app on bare metal serves 12,000 requests/min on 384MB RAM. Meanwhile, our modern React/Node.js rewrite needs 4GB just to start. 15 years of "progress" and we're using 10x more memory for the same functionality. What happened to efficiency?

@catalinmpit I don’t self host LLMs but I love this setup for standard development.

For those running local models, what’s your machine configuration? I’m thinking of selling my MacBook Pro M4 Max 48GB RAM and building a PC. Then get a MacBook Air for interacting with the LLM from the PC.

@jahirsheikh8 Given that I’ve seen this video in 15 different posts, guaranteed it has more than to 2gbs memory.

Only 2GB RAM is enough to run Linux. Yet most people still choose Windows.

When I was freshman in college I got an SDE internship at Amazon paying $8K per month. Up to that point in my life the highest "net worth" I ever had was $7K. That was an earth shattering moment reading that offer letter and it solidified to me that computer science would be a great career. There is no question in my mind that CS is still a great career path.

Software rots. If you don't maintain it, it will stop working. This is mostly a product of software being designed and built before its used. As time goes on it becomes clear how to the improve the user experience, security, or performance. To compound this, every piece of software depends on dozens of layers of other's work: ISA, CPU, kernel, libraries, frameworks, languages, compilers, runtimes. Changes to these will eventually mean changes will be needed to the software the relies on them.

can anyone ELI5 why software needs to be "maintained"? Like why do you need whole teams working on stuff that already works? Hardware doesn't work like this If it functions, it functions and does not need to be changed unless you're replacing something worn out.
