The Side Project Guy

Decided to do a little rebranding from only building ExoSource and reshaping this account to just be myself, building in public, trying new things, sharing ideas, etc. Following along if you want to watch my journey!

@ritu_twts None of the above. Work for yourself

As a developer , under which ceo would you like to work ?

@mkobach Honestly no. I think right now the most critical thing is learning how to steer and guide the models. They will just continue to improve but the human to AI dev interactions will largely stay the same

Is AI moving so fast that learning anything AI right now will be obsolete in 18 months?

@positiveblue2 @callebtc Bot response.

@callebtc > Most software can be copied with a few good prompts. You need to dream bigger. That's like saying "now that we have high level languages we can copy all those things that were handwritten by assembly in no time!" People just go and build bigger systems then

Agentic coding will boost open source more than anything else, and I’m all for it. Most software can be copied with a few good prompts. People are writing alternatives to subscription-based apps every single day.

@emollick You - don’t *think* the replies are real?! All seriousness the bots are getting outta control

These are the most bot-infested my replies have ever been. I counted, and 10%, at most, are human.

Skill.md issue is great and I am stealing it.

@MatthewBerman @AnthropicAI Building in public at a massive scale

Is there anyone shipping faster than @AnthropicAI? Seriously, it's insane. Every. single. day. They ship something new and incredible. I've never seen this kind of velocity before. What are they doing differently?

Touching grass kinda?

@jonathan_wilke Imo the best idea is to build something that eliminates scope creep. Each feature is systematically layered & built together intentionally vs just more more more

Who the fuck wants to ship 20 apps at the same time

Does anyone use grok to develop?

Robotaxis must put Uber out of business. I’m sick of getting in disgusting cars with irresponsible drivers. I was just dropped off 2 miles from my set destination in the rain. @elonmusk we need you!

@budd545304 @Govindtwtt Levels the playing field and dramatically lowers the level of entry to build your own business? Sure, a handful of people will become insanely wealthy but it will generate much more wealth for everyone. Stop looking for handouts

@BuildTestShipAI @Govindtwtt Doesn’t make the point you think it makes.

Everyone says “AI will take all the jobs.” If that happens… how does this future actually work? No jobs → no income → no spending. So who buys things? Who pays rent? Who keeps the economy moving? What am I missing here?

@budd545304 @Govindtwtt Dude a claude subscription is the same price as a chipotle bowl

@Govindtwtt If AI were intended to help the common man, it wouldn't exist. This is a billionaire tool to become trillionaires. Common man loses bigly.

@avrldotdev Claude pro and never look back

If you have $20, which AI plan are you buying? 1. Claude Pro 2. ChatGPT Go 3. OpenCode Go (Feedback needed)

I’m becoming more and more obsessed with SwiftUI + Metal & React. This stuff is masterful

@mscode07 9-5. Unfortunately the rest of my income streams haven’t made money yet 🤣 getting there though

how many income streams are you actually running? mine: 4 (excluding the 9-5) drop yours below 👇

I wish there was a job that just let me bounce from small business to small business and build internal products. 12 month contracts with first 6 focused on understanding the company and second 6 on dev.

Been playing around with Metal + SwiftUI and holy shit

@sophylabshq @TimHaldorsson Slop. Didn’t even attempt to make it human-like

This is the part most founders miss. Vibe coding lowered the cost of building to near zero — but it didn't change the cost of building something *worth using*. The gap isn't shipping speed anymore. It's: 1) Talking to users before you build 2) Solving a problem someone will pay to fix 3) Having the engineering depth to scale past the demo A lot of what's being shipped right now is sophisticated prototypes, not products. The next wave of opportunity is rescue engineering — fixing the vibe-coded apps that got traction but can't scale.

everyone's building apps. nobody's using them. vibe coding made it too easy to ship. distribution is the actual product now.

@TimHaldorsson I also think people dramatically underestimate the length of time it takes to grow. Whats the worst thing that happens? Your app stinks but I bet those failures led to a better app next time

@hello_code_ Using Stripe, I don’t necessarily see a product that works better rn

anyone Not using Stripe for there saas? If so what are you using and why. looking for alternatives

@fidexcode Snapchat without a second thought. Haven’t opened it in months

Hard but delete one forever
