Instant notifications.

@vadym_petryshyn Aside from physical goods and service? No.

That being said, humanity can be felt through software.

@raroque This video is straight 🔥🔥

As a builder in Dallas too, I’m very jealous of this trip! So many good conversations!!

Can we all agree the AI race is exhausting?

Like, I just want to put my head down, work on my project and use tools that help me work.

How do you block out the noise?

[Lucas @CreatedByLucas]

@KaiXCreator Just dropped it 🤷‍♂️. Codex (GPT 5.5) has given me a far better experience as of recently.

[Lucas @CreatedByLucas]

Made the swap. Sorry, not sorry @AnthropicAI...

[Lucas @CreatedByLucas]

Wild work!

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

Codex anywhere and everywhere, all the time.

Now your Mac doesn’t have to be unlocked for Codex to use your computer.

From your phone, Codex can securely use apps on your Mac, even when the screen is off and locked.

@mdnlabs Let’s go!

[Lucas @CreatedByLucas]

@mdnlabs Dope! What else have you built?

[Lucas @CreatedByLucas]

I see so many successful people in the startup community posting about users, traffic and revenue. I want to show my timeline, so far, for @servantsuite to show it isn't always easy, fast, or guaranteed.

- 4/13/25 - Had an idea, bought the domain
- 5/2/25 - Rough MVP completed
- 5/14/25 - No clear vision, lost motivation
- 7/4/25 - a conversation reignited the fire
- 7/5/25 - lock in. make it work.
- 1/5/26 - start testing with friends
- 4/2/26 - take off the wait-list, let users in
- 5/1/26 - what's marketing?
- 5/20/26 - Look back and decide to make this post.

Over a year of progress... on and off.

Personal hurdles to overcome; is it good enough? What if I cant build a product others want? How do I even tell people about it? What will people think? What if it sucks...

The life of a founder isn't simple, easy or even consistent.

I write this as I am learning the lessons of a first time product builder. Learning to lean into community, people, tools, systems, and faith.

I want to look back after another year of building and be proud of the progress I've made. Not the product, me.

Work hard, believe in something and show up daily. Build the life you are called to live.

@marclou It's crazy seeing so many people getting incredible results.

TrustMRR has created a verification check I didn't know I needed.

[Lucas @CreatedByLucas]

@PsudoMike Claude has been a solid product, I'm only concerned that their corporate politics will create a rift with developers and slow their growth.

[Lucas @CreatedByLucas]

Who do you think comes out on top for software engineering?

What email platform do you use?

What did you choose, and would you recommend it?
