Seeing everyone talk about the recent tech releases reminds me that the best tool is the one that actually solves a real problem today. Don't get distracted by the shiny new toy if your current stack is already shipping value. #buildinpublic

A little reminder to my active Architect builders.. – Build something that people need. – Build in public. – Connect with other builders to share ideas. – Stay hydrated and healthy. Lastly, connect with me to help market your project. Good morning, CT

@devcalledjulius @ProductHunt @engichat nice one launching purpose built beats generic wrapper every time what made you go all in on engineering specifically vs staying broader

@MrBallaz feels like chasing algos instead of building with people kinda why owning your audience matters , can't get rug pulled by a feed shift

@dougsapps thanks doug. yeah the polished-landing-page thing felt off — would rather show the actual board than the marketing version of it. checking vibers.so now, what's the build like?

We run a fleet of AI coding agents on real work — Claude Code orchestrating, with Codex / Gemini / Grok peers. Instead of a marketing page about it, here's the actual operational dashboard, live: fleet.taey.ai/ui/ Read-only, no login. Click around. Browse our active project plans. The "read-only" isn't a permission. There's no write code in the binary. A POST gets a 404 because the route doesn't exist. Build-in-public, taken literally.

Tibo did an AMA. "i made $10m+ from software. ask me anything" growth plateaus, product vs distribution, building in public. proper honest stuff. read the tl;dr on vibers vibers.so/n/tibo_maker/p… #buildinpublic

49 years old zero coding skills building a saas from scratch sounds mental. it probably is but vibe coding means the rules changed and most people haven't noticed yet #buildinpublic

Did you know? 🤯 The more I think I know Git/GitHub, the more it finds new ways to humble me. Today I learned that instead of: ❌ Commit ❌ Switch branch ❌ Reset HEAD ❌ Wonder what I've broken You can simply stash your work: git stash push -m "feature-login" Switch branches freely 🔄 Then bring it back later: git stash pop --index stash@{0} Need to see all stashes? git stash list My commits are relieved they're no longer being used as temporary storage. 😂💀 What's a Git command you discovered embarrassingly late? 👇 #Git #GitHub #Programming #Developer #SoftwareEngineering #TechTwitter #BuildInPublic #GitHubTips

@rain8miao the thing i keep seeing with the buildinpublic movement on X is that vibe coding is easy, the thing people struggle with most is getting customers. so vibers is a newsletter app so they can write posts – published on the platform and sent out by email to their subscribers.

launch day for my last app: 47 signups. 2 paid. 1 refund. still felt like a win because 46 people i'd never met typed in their email for something i built in my bedroom. that perspective shift is what keeps you going past week 2. #buildinpublic

Day 8 of Ship and Die 🏴‍☠️ Today was mostly about working on the landing page + fixing a few things in the algo. I added more data, manually roasted a few websites to catch edge cases, and kept improving the output. Also, build in public is already bringing traffic. Peak at 45 visitors today after 5 days live, with the site only shared on X and still just one page. Now the goal is simple: convert, learn, improve, repeat

Day 7 — Ship or Die 🏴‍☠️ Almost no time to build today. That’s the reality of a side project when your 9-6 change to 8-8. Still, I moved the most important part forward: the algorithm behind the tool. It’s starting to produce insane insights. Especially on pricing. That’s where I can bring real expertise: not just “what price should I charge?” but why users buy, hesitate, compare, or leave. I’m feeding the model with my own frameworks and learnings every day. Tiny progress today. But the product got smarter.
