You crave freedom when you’re in a 9-5 job as you find the routine and structure stifling your creativity.

When you quit the said job and actually have the freedom to do what you want, you strive to build a life of routine and structure to make sure your creative edge doesn’t get lost !

Contradiction ?
Irony?

@bas_fijneman Congrats having generated revenues, every dollar earned is proof that there’s somebody who finds your app useful 👍

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

So true, gtm engineer would be the new hot role !

I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps

But

1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or

2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or

3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

Biggest contradiction of modern life is that : you are too lethargic to take action, but taking action is what will pull you out of that lethargic state !

@elonmusk Is it available in India now ? I remember reading about a plan to launch long ago. I don’t know what happened after that.

@JonBuildsHQ Mine is still at ~0

@adahstwt I heard supabase is the best with its generous free tier

@Taniyatweets_ I wish I could just right click and create a .txt file like I do in windows !

@RaminNasibov I have watched as a kid my uncle struggling to just login to email in those days, more than the delay it was the interruptions that upset him. If he was using the internet and someone just picked the landline phone to call, then snap, instant disconnect 😂

@bas_fijneman Which tool did you use to create ugc ? I’ve been wanting to do the same for marketing my app on insta.

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

Tried auto mode for the first time in Claude code (pro plan). Watching it tear through my implantation.md file and build a working app all by itself *chef’s kiss * 🤌

I can only imagine how someone would feel after taking to their openclaw via their phone watching it build stuff 🤩

My approach: imagegen2 for mocks, opus 4.8 in plan mode to perfect the implementation.md and then sonnet 4.6 for the actual implementation. Conserves tokens and way less mistakes !

@lexfridman @levelsio When’s the podcast coming up ?

@Surendar__05 Linux might be powerful, but gui was rubbish (at least made years ago when I used it). macOS combines the best of both worlds - gui from windows and cmd shell from Linux

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

@GamewithDave I’m in my 40s and still play video games, it’s so much better than passive entertainment like binging Netflix

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

@iatnon @ClaudeDevs Try using sonnet 4.6, works fine, I usually plan using 4.8 and execute using sonnet 4.6

@pmitu How are you deciding if a reply is AI generated ? Double em ?

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

@_annakulina @maubaron @ErnestoSOFTWARE yeah, thats the world we live in, building is no longer the moat. distribution / marketing is. there're roles going to open exactly around this in a few years time.

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

@BratDotAI 7-8, taking it one day at a time. If I had to burn hours, would've stayed in my cozy Microsoft job :)

@tibo_maker true. animation industry is going to be disrupted like crazy. assuming the models get cheaper i.e.,

[Vineeth @Geekvineeth]

@RealProductGirl i would say, you hypothesis get tested after action.
