@TaylinSimmonds I definitely think you need unplug for a few days every now again

I finally admit defeat. I downloaded app blockers for social media, YouTube, music, even my Kindle. Not to be more productive. Because I felt like an addict craving digital crack candy and I was becoming someone I didn’t recognize. The only things I allow from 7am to 7pm: walk, meditate, exercise, write, call my mom. Four days in and I already feel like I came back home to myself. If you think you’re strong enough to not need this, that’s exactly what I said too.

Lets do this!

@JuliaEMcCoy I love this opportunity!! Bring it!

The AGI revolution won't look like a movie. No explosions. No robots marching down streets. No dramatic moment where "it happens." It'll be quiet. A department that had 40 people now has 12. A company that took 5 years to build gets built in 5 weeks. A skill you spent a decade mastering gets automated on a Tuesday. Nobody will announce it. There won't be a headline. One day you'll just look around and realize everything changed while you were scrolling. The loudest revolutions in history were the ones nobody heard coming. This is that revolution. Wake up.

@suida_ajdini 👏👏👏

I can’t believe it! 😄 Almost 1500 followers 🥹 Started my journey on X in January and super happy about it! Happy to connect with people building in tech 🤝👩‍💻

Anyone can make films, animations, tell their stories, code games and apps. Most importantly learn everything much faster and more effectively than before. I hope you all find moments in your day to create something and celebrate your creations. Technology, Internet, AI are good

@0xTheFern @Ric_RTP Very common

Greed is the number one reason in capitalism is why it exists. I remember when I worked for Walgreens distribution center. The ceo had retired and cashed out his shares. They cut everyone’s hours while the current ceo was getting a multi million dollar salary plus a multi million bonus.

Jensen Huang just called out every CEO who’s been firing people “because of AI.” Jim Cramer asked him why companies are laying people off if AI is supposed to make everyone MORE productive. Jensen's answer: "For companies with imagination, you will do more with more. For companies where the leadership is just out of ideas, they have nothing else to do. They have no reason to imagine greater than they are. When they have more capability, they don't do more." Read that again. The man who built the most important tech company on Earth just told you that if your CEO is using AI to cut headcount, it means one thing: They have no imagination. They have no vision for what comes next. They got handed the most powerful tool in human history and their FIRST instinct was to fire people. This is the CEO of NVIDIA. The company whose chips power every AI system on the planet. If anyone on Earth has the right to say "AI replaces workers," it's Jensen Huang. And he said the OPPOSITE. He said every carpenter could become an architect. Every plumber could become an architect. AI elevates capability. It doesn't eliminate it. But here's where it gets really interesting... During the same interview, Jensen revealed something nobody's talking about: He said AI startups like OpenAI and Anthropic are seeing their revenues increase by one to two billion dollars a WEEK. And he wishes these companies were public so the world could see what he sees. One to two billion per week. That's a $50 to $100 BILLION annualized run rate. For companies that most people think are burning cash and making nothing. The entire Wall Street narrative that "AI companies aren't profitable" might be completely wrong. Jensen sees their numbers. He sees their compute orders. He sees their growth. And he's saying the revenue is real. So if the money IS real, why are other companies firing people? Because they're not building AI products. They're not creating new revenue streams. They're not using AI to expand into new markets. They're using AI as an EXCUSE to cut costs because they ran out of ideas 3 years ago and need something to tell the board. Jensen's company added $500 billion in new orders in 5 months. He expects $1 trillion in cumulative revenue through 2027 from just two product lines. That number doesn't include the new chips, systems, or partnerships announced this week. And he's not cutting people. He's hiring. Because when you have imagination, more capability means MORE opportunity. Not less headcount. Meanwhile Salesforce cut thousands. Meta cut thousands. Amazon cut thousands. All blaming "AI efficiency." Jensen's response: You're out of imagination. He also said something that stuck with me. Cramer asked if he ever thought he'd build a $10 to $20 trillion company while waiting tables at Denny's. His answer: "I was just trying to make it through the shift." Biggest tip he ever got? Two, three dollars. Now he's building tech that increased computing demand by one million times in two years. He announced OpenClaw, which he says is as big as ChatGPT. And he's got 21 months of new business that isn't even counted in the trillion dollar figure yet. When asked how long he plans to keep working? "I'm hoping to die on the job. And I'm not hoping to die anytime soon." This is a man who believes every single thing he's building. And his message to every CEO using AI to justify layoffs is simple... You're not innovating. You're surrendering. The technology wasn't built to shrink companies. It was built to make them limitless. If your leadership can't see that, the problem isn't AI. It's THEM.

@TimoBuilds_ Yes def need to get up and move 💪

I felt back pain already with 23 yo, so i know that really well, but fighted it and leaned a lot for prevention of coming back Most people are sitting too long the whole day and got too less movement, so their muscles are underpowered and can't protect room pain anymore Building muscles = avoiding back pain Surely for all kind of, but for the most ones

16 y/o guys making $1,000 MRR. Respect. But I’m more impressed by people who keep building at 30+ with a job, a family, and zero time. That game is harder.

@waronweakness I don’t do any vibecoding, but more animation. I use Grok, Seedream and OpenArt. Would Claude improve on any of these?

I've started using Claude. It's great but I can see how someone can spend 20 hours a day on this thing and feel like they accomplished something when they've done nothing.

@siddharthwv I stopped making business plans and just started creating. 🤘

Planning is overrated. Fail first. Collect data. Know what doesn't work. Then plan.

@wake_up_girl_3 Yes!!! 👏👏👏

@brianfromthe556 lol hey I see you!

Is it just me or am I the only one posting into the abyss? This algorithm is beyond awful and I am a premium plus member.

This is the truth! If you watch TV, go to the bar, or just lay on the couch scrolling all day, you are missing out on so much

Please bury the performance reviews ☠️

I personally learn more by doing. If I don’t have the answer, I will learn 👏

Don’t do that

@NieceOfAnton 🤣🤣🤣 I watched a guy get fired just a couple weeks ago. Good luck on that

Software engineers are the happiest people on Earth now. They pay $100/month for Claude Code to do the work. Their employer pays them $10,000/month for the results. $9,900 profit for sipping coffee and talking to Al. The funniest part? Not a single dev with a full-time job will ever admit this publicly What a time to be alive.

@kapilansh_twt Guilty ✊

vibe coding is just a fancy term for "I have no idea what my codebase does" → AI writes 400 lines → you don't read it → it works → you ship it → 3am production fire → you have no idea where to start → ask AI to fix it → AI breaks 3 other things we're not building faster we're just breaking things at the speed of light and calling it innovation

@sahill_og And we need those 9-5’s.

Unpopular opinion: not everyone should be a solo founder. Some people are genuinely happier with a 9-5, a stable paycheck, and evenings free. The "quit your job" crowd makes it sound like employment is a disease. It's not. It's a choice.

@rezoundous @thesayannayak 🤣🤣 I came to say Amazon Rufus, but can honestly attend that I may have used Meta once ☠️

@thesayannayak Meta AI

Most useless AI tool ever ?

@DSmith1024 I picked TCU💪 But come on Wisconsin ☠️
