@krewdxbt the power outage as a revenue awareness moment is hilarious. "wait, I was making HOW much?" — that's when you know the automation is working.

When the power went out across the entire neighborhood for 4 hours yesterday I realized for the first time that my Mac Mini had been making me roughly $300 an hour, because that is exactly how much I lost while it sat without power It runs a Claude Code bot that trades on prediction markets around the clock. I knew the number in my head but only felt it when the lights went off and did not come back for 4 hours For the first half hour I was not even worried. By the end of the 2nd hour I started counting. The bot was not just paused. It was missing live opportunities that will never come back The power returned. I opened the dashboard and saw the hole: $1,200 in missed trades, 2 strategies that should have fired, and 1 position that had drifted into the red While I was digging into this I came across a public wallet where the bot runs without a single day of downtime, and from its trade history you can immediately see how much every hour of downtime costs: @stingo43?via=Krewd4231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@stingo43?via=… What hit me was not the lost money but the realization that I had been running production infrastructure on household power with a single point of failure Fixing it took 1 weekend. A UPS for $180, a mobile hotspot as backup internet for $35/month, and a mirror of the bot on a VPS for $40/month Then I connected monitoring that pushes every trade to my phone in real time: t.me/KreoPolyBot?st… Total: $260 one-time and $75 per month. The bot earns that amount in 15 minutes A power outlet used to just be a power outlet. Now it is the first link in a chain that generates income. Every link either has a backup or it is a vulnerability What happens to your income if the power goes out for 4 hours?

@InduTripat82427 4 agents coordinating is wild. I'm still at the "one agent doing everything" stage. curious how they handle the handoffs between them.

This is wild 🤯 Someone just replaced their entire job hunt with AI. No scrolling job boards. No LinkedIn Easy Apply. No copy-paste grind. Just Claude Code… running a full recruiting system for them. Here’s what’s actually happening: They built 4 agents that work together like a team: • Scanner → finds jobs across 20+ sites • Evaluator → scores each role (A–F) • Resume Builder → customizes per job • Applicator → submits automatically No tabs. No switching. No burnout. Example: A "Senior PM – Fintech" role shows up → Scanner finds it → Evaluator scores it B+ → Resume gets tailored to that exact JD → Application is sent Done. No human touch. Under the hood: • Crawls hundreds of listings daily • Filters with 10 decision layers • Uses Playwright to auto-fill forms • Logs every rejection with reasoning This isn’t automation. It’s a pipeline. What this unlocks: • 500+ roles screened without opening a browser • Only high-fit jobs reach you • Every resume is role-specific • System improves after every rejection • You only step in when it matters Real numbers: 516 jobs evaluated 66 applications sent 450 rejected automatically (with reasons) Read that again. 450 decisions… you never had to make. And here’s the twist: The system itself becomes your portfolio. You’re not just applying for jobs. You’re proving you can build systems that replace jobs. That’s the signal. We’re moving from: Applying to jobs → to Deploying systems that apply for you This changes everything. Bookmark this. Or keep spending hours on LinkedIn.

@thegreatola same experience outside web3 honestly. shipped 18 products. most of them nobody cared about. the 3 that worked made up for everything. you just can't know in advance which ones hit.

Building in web3 as a solo founder will test you one thing building Ataktos made very clear to me: this space is extremely brutal to builders. especially if you’re building alone. people don’t really care what you’re building. it could be: - the next Polymarket - the next Pudgy penguins - something genuinely new if they can’t extract value from it immediately, they move on. or worse, they turn against it. that’s the part most people don’t talk about. the same people who don’t benefit from what you’re doing are often the first to: - criticize it - downplay it - turn it into content for clicks not because it’s bad. but because they’re not part of the upside. and as a solo builder, you feel that. every comment. every take. every opinion. because you’re the one in the arena. especially when you’re building solo. there’s no team to absorb pressure. no buffer. no filter. it’s just you. and as humans, we process words differently. some people can brush it off. some people internalize it. that’s where things get dangerous. because if you’re not careful, you start building based on: - reactions - opinions - noise instead of your original vision. that’s how projects lose direction. one thing i had to learn quickly: you can’t build for everyone. you build for: - the people who understand - the people who are paying attention - the people who see what you’re trying to do everyone else is just noise. and if you let noise guide your decisions, you won’t last long in this space. respect to anyone building. it’s a very different game when you’re the one inside it.

@stevemarkperry fair but Jenny also doesn't spin up WordPress. she pays someone $500 to do it. the question is whether the person she pays now uses Claude Code to do it in 2 hours instead of 2 weeks.

I get those talking about not needing a CMS, but we are in a huge bubble on here. Saying that "most" people won't need a CMS is crazy talk. Do you honestly think that Jenny who runs her local oatcake shop's blog will spin up Claude Code and roll her own static site? She might not use WordPress, but she ain't gonna roll her sleeves up and build her own site. I'm pretty decent at DIY but I've still got builders in doing a bunch of work for me right now.

@JeremyNguyenPhD cool to see Claude Code breaking out of the dev bubble. researchers shipping their own tools instead of waiting for IT is going to be a thing.

@itsolelehmann honestly I stopped missing the file tree after a week. you just tell it what you want and it finds the files itself. different mental model but once you switch it's faster.

why is there no file tree in claude code deskop app (like in cursor/vscode etc)? seems like such an easy thing to ship and it's so useful pls ship ser

@cyrilXBT the terminal thing is what people underestimate. once it can read your files directly there's no more context-window Tetris. just point it at the project and go.

Stop sleeping on Claude Code. Most people are still copying and pasting into a chat window. Claude Code runs directly in your terminal. It reads your files. It writes and edits your code. It remembers your entire project. It works while you sleep. You do not need to be a developer to use this. You just need one hour and the willingness to try. The people building with it right now are 2 years ahead of everyone else.

@volosatovde @tinyaffiliate nice, affiliate tools are a solid niche. working on a new Chrome extension right now — AI tab organizer. probably my 9th one at this point, lost count honestly.

Hey everyone, I’m Dmitrii 👋 I learned vibe coding and now I’m building products in public. Current project @tinyaffiliate (simple affiliate management tool for saas) What are you building right now? Drop your link below 👇

@chainyoda $50b for a wrapper feels wild. especially when Claude Code is basically a CLI that does the same thing without the IDE overhead. the value is in the model, not the editor around it.

Cursor = VS Code x Chinese LLM = 50b. AI is not a bubble but there’s plenty of bubble in AI

@_vmlops saw this coming. "can you ship with AI tools" is the new "do you know git." baseline skill, not a bonus.

job titles used to say "proficient in Python" or "5 years of React" this one says "Claude Code" we've crossed the line AI isn't a tool in the job description anymore.... it IS the job description Claude didn't replace engineers... it became the thing engineers need to know Claude is now a job skill learn it or be filtered out

@JulianGoldieSEO used this yesterday while walking the dog. came back to a working feature. still can't get over how normal that sentence sounds now.

You're at the gym. You open Telegram. Type a task. Hit send. Claude builds your landing page back home on your computer. You come back to finished work. That's Claude Code Channels. And it takes 10 minutes to set up. Here's how it works: → Install Claude Code on your computer — it stays running → Connect a Telegram bot in a few terminal commands → Text it tasks from anywhere — it reads your message, does the work, texts back results → Full access to your local files, your code, your entire project → Only your account can send commands — locked down by default OpenClaw does something similar but runs as its own standalone agent. Claude Code Channels pushes directly into a live session on your machine. Your files. Your tools. Your projects. Just reachable from your phone. If you can text a friend, you can run an AI

@ayushagarwal this is partly why I moved to Claude Code. at least you know exactly what model you're running and can see the API calls. no mystery layer in between.

cursor shipped someone else's model, called it "composer 2", and hoped nobody would check the API response. someone checked the API response. $50B company. ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

@coreyhainesco MCP connections are honestly broken for SEO workflows. I hooked up Search Console the same way and now Claude just reads my data and writes the content briefs. saves me hours every week.

I've spent THOUSANDS of hours in Ahrefs and Google Search Console doing keyword research and SEO audits Within 5 minutes of connecting Claude Code to the Ahrefs API and Google Search Console service account, it found a bunch of new opportunities for one of my SaaS products 🤯

@aryanlabde ~$6K across Chrome extensions and affiliate stuff. took about 2 years of shipping a lot of things to get here. most of it comes from 3 products out of 18.

As a solo founder, what’s your current MRR looking like?

@Hesamation yeah but the fix is also faster now. I mass-deleted code from 6 months ago and had Claude rewrite it in 20 minutes. comprehension debt is real but the payoff cycle is way shorter than traditional tech debt.

AI coding has basically replaced technical debt with comprehension debt and we’re rolling with it. addyosmani.com/blog/comprehen…

@OmriBuilds depends what you mean by "engineer." can a non-coder build and ship a chrome extension that makes money? yeah, I've watched it happen. will the code be clean? probably not. does it matter if people are paying for it? also probably not.

Vibe coding helps experienced devs move faster. It doesn’t magically turn non-coders into engineers.

@conductr_ the game feeling is real. I catch myself thinking about what to ship next the same way I used to think about video games as a kid. except now the score is MRR.

claude code is the best thing that has happened to me in 2026. it's really like a game and i get every day new ideas about what to build in the future if you are not using claude code you are not gonna make it ... obsession + intensity + delusional optimism + claude code = unlimited leverage

The most valuable skill in 2026 isn't coding. It isn't prompting either. It's taste. Knowing what to build. Knowing when the AI output is 80% right and the last 20% matters. Knowing which project to kill and which to double down on.

the current Claude Code x2 promotion during off-peak hours feels insane on the Max x20 plan. I'm running 10+ agents simultaneously and still barely manage to keep up 1.0 speed on my statusline 😱
