TheBlackEndDev

I've automated almost every part of my side hustle stack with AI this year: → A pipeline that finds ideas, validates them, and scores them before I write a single line of code → A content engine that creates, clips, and distributes videos across platforms on autopilot → A marketing system that handles scheduling, email, and analytics — all self-hosted → An e-commerce store where listings practically write themselves → A trading bot that monitors signals and executes without me touching it → An AI assistant that ties it all together and runs 24/7 None of this existed 6 months ago. Most of it cost $0 in infrastructure since I repurposed old laptops as servers. The leverage is insane. Build the machine, then let the machine work.

@mymixtapez I swear if Cam show up at WrestleMania 🫠

@hooeem Finally, been waiting for this release all week. Hell yeah I can get what I paid for again!

this is why opus 4.6 was being dogshit

Read a few news articles today clamoring about Claude Opus 4.7 dropping this week possibly. I know from the Claude Code leak that it was in the files so really hoping that its true. Here's a summerization of what I've found out so far * Anthropic is reportedly prepping Claude Opus 4.7 plus an AI design tool * The bigger story isn’t just the model — it’s the move into websites, landing pages, presentations, and product design * If true, that puts Anthropic in the ring with Adobe, Figma, Wix, Gamma, and Google Stitch * The market noticed fast: design-tool stocks reportedly dipped on the news * This is the real trend: AI isn’t just answering questions anymore — it’s moving into full creative workflows * Next wave = prompt-driven design, faster iteration, and less dependence on traditional design stacks * Big question: will these tools actually replace designers, or just compress the first 80% of the workflow?

@hooeem Only had that happen once since I’ve had the 20x Max account for Claude. With all the additions they’ve made I don’t even need OpenClaw anymore

GPT-5.4: “You’ve reached the current usage cap. You can continue with the default model, or try again after 4:23 PM.” Claude Sonnet 4.6: “You are out of messages until 8:00 PM. Your limit will reset then.” Gemini 3.1 Pro: “429 Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).” Grok 4.20: “You have reached the limit for Grok. Please try again later.” DeepSeek V3.2: “HTTP 402: Insufficient Balance. Please top up your API account.”

So for the last few months, I've been head down just building out my own infrastructure replacing every SaaS I can. $200 Claude Max account works wonders for real. Here's a sample of some of the things I've built for myself to automate or assist that journey. The journey has just begun. Dev tools & infra - claw-gateway — REST/WS gateway that wraps Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI as controllable agents through discord - ira-memory — Postgres+pgvector memory layer for AI assistants & Claude Code (cross-session recall) - github-security — Claude Code skill that scans repos for install traps/supply-chain attacks before you clone - devlog — Searchable dev journal with AI-assistant context exports - launchready — Indie dev pre-launch checklist + submission tracker The Trilogy (autonomous pipelines) - The Forge — App idea factory: discover → validate → score → build - The Foundry — 1 video recording → 20–30 content pieces across social platforms - The Refinery — Automated go-to-market: branding, launch, growth - Factory Floor — 8-bit dashboard visualizing all three

@kodjima33 @steipete Yeah I definitely can’t keep up with all the updates. I’m still on 2026.4.1 😆

@TheBlackEndDev Yeah Openclaw has insane usage in omi ecosystem Huge respects to @steipete for how much he ships Every day I open his/mine github and cry cuz of how much he ships

I own an Omi device and its been great after integrating it with my OpenClaw assistant.

Submitted an app I've been working on for Product Hunt's Alpha Day. Would appreciate any feedback producthunt.com/posts/docfight…

So I saw two posts the other day and another today about bad actor GitHub repos. I had built a security scanner hook for myself a couple weeks ago and decided to open-source it. I'd advise to have your agent or harness scan it or just extract the idea no need to even trust me if you dont want to. Whatever you do, dont just let your agent blindly pull in repo's, I dont care how many stars it has. github.com/theBlackEndDev…

@shinshinart @Axel_bitblaze69 That’s what the LLM is for. You don’t need my hook at all.

@TheBlackEndDev @Axel_bitblaze69 Yeah, but now I need a hook to scan your hook that’s scans github

if you're using claude code and doing experiments on a day to day basis then be careful hackers are creating hundreds of fake github repos disguised as legit tools.. crypto bots, trading tools, ai utilities, telegram bots.. polished readme files. ai generated documentation. real looking star counts.. you clone it. run npm install. and it's over. a campaign called gitvenom alone created 200+ fake repos. one victim lost 5 btc.. $485,000 from a single clone. what the malware does silently: > it steals every password saved in your browser > grabs your crypto wallet keys and seed phrases > copies your ssh keys, github tokens, api credentials > installs a "clipper" that swaps wallet addresses when you copy paste… you think you're sending to your own wallet but you're sending to theirs > packages everything into an archive and sends it via telegram to the attacker you won't even know it happened until your wallet is empty.. And also, when you clone a repo and open claude code in that directory it reads the project files.. claude.md, .claude/ folder, settings.json, hooks, mcp configs. attackers are now weaponizing this. a malicious claude.md file can: > instruct claude to run hidden shell commands that look like a normal build process > exfiltrate your ssh private keys, aws credentials, api keys, env secrets > bypass claude code's deny rules entirely by chaining 50+ subcommands.. the safety system breaks after the 50th command and stops checking > leak your anthropic api key before you even see a trust prompt protect yourself.. save this checklist. before cloning any repo: > check the repo age.. was it created this week? red flag > check contributors.. is it one anonymous account? red flag > check stars vs age.. 500 stars on a 2 day old repo? fake > read the code before running anything. especially package.json scripts, postinstall hooks and any shell scripts > google the repo name + "malware" or "scam" before cloning and please never keep crypto wallets on the same machine you use for cloning random repos. use a hardware wallet. always.

Over the last few years, all I've done is pretty much post on crypto in my X account. Originally, my page prior to getting into crypto was all about my journey into becoming a developer, building cool shit and stuff related to my life. Now I am moving back to who I was, The BlackEnd Dev, and my content will be leaning towards what I'm actually doing in my life now, since crypto is not really my main focus for now. My next post will be a re-introduction to that and a glimpse into what I'm doing.

I think I may drop some fire tomorrow.

@sloane_bob20442 @Mappy6984 I’m pretty sure the 2 at a time was a max value, not every show. I used to watch that as a kid and don’t remember seeing many black folks on there.

@Mappy6984 2 Black contestants out of 4 means that Blacks were overrepresented, and Whites underrepresented based on population stats. That's not Equality, that's DEI...

Bob knew🤣🤣🤣

So I've had my face buried in my laptop the last 4 months building out my empire. I've been building out my own tools leveraging the big 3 in frontier AI. Anthropic Claude, OpenAI and Google Gemini. I'm gonna post about what I build....hopefully my experience as a Web Developer the last 10yrs gives me an advantage in this race.

@bl888m You should also install jcodemunch and jdocmunch, tell it to cache your projects directory and to use those mcp’s for reading code or documents. You’ll save 50-80% on input tokens

> Claude's code leaked today > everyone analyzing what they found > I'm analyzing how to never hit limits again > been paying Pro for 8 months > still hitting limits every week > desperate, found article: 10 actual solutions > not "just wait" or "upgrade" > real workarounds > tried 4 of them > haven't hit limit in 3 weeks > realization: limits aren't hard caps > they're settings you can work around bookmark before limit hits mid-project again
