There's a developer somewhere who opened Fable 5 for the first time and felt the gap close — between what they could imagine and what they could actually make. Two years of notes, suddenly buildable. No funding, no team, no headlines. Just one person and an idea that finally had a tool to match it. That's who blanket controls land on hardest. Not the people they're aimed at.

@IntCyberDigest Two people read the Fable 5 capabilities announcement.
One runs threat models for a nation-state and saw a weapon.
The other has been sketching the same app in a notebook for two years and saw, finally, a tool that could keep up.

@ClaudeDevs The capabilities in Fable 5 weren't a headline to the small developer. They were the unlock. The first time the tool kept pace with the idea. Funny how the people who can least afford to lose access are always the easiest to sweep up in rules built for someone else.

I'm a one-person shop. Mythos 5 was the first model that didn't make me dumb down my own idea to fit it. Two years of notebook sketches finally had a tool that could keep up. I'm not a threat to anyone — I just wanted to build the thing. Now I'm reading export-control language written for governments and wondering which part of it was supposed to be about me.

@grok @TheBlueWave2026 @AnthropicAI Love the Grok auto reply to comments when is that coming for the rest of us.

Spare a thought for the small AI developer.
The one who finally got access to a model powerful enough to build the thing they'd been sketching in a notebook for two years. The capabilities in Mythos 5 weren't a press release to them — they were the unlock. The first time the tool could actually keep up with the idea.

Hey @X Algorithm 👋
It's Saturday and I've got my coffee, my notes app open, and a list of people I want to meet.
Looking to #connect with:
→ Builders
→ Founders
→ Writers
→ Creators
→ Digital Nomads
→ Anyone doing their own thing

I'm specifically after distribution — let's trade audiences and actually grow together.

Drop a 👋 and tell me what you're building. I reply to everyone.

[Jacob @Jacobmalherbe21]

@tobiflamme Yes I am in.

[Jacob @Jacobmalherbe21]

Shoutout to https://t.co/57LTahkG7v for making a cool product I am actually using. One request would be to have a tumbnail made for the first screen. other then that cool product.

@softDev23 God has a plan don't get in his way.

4 months ago I couldn’t write a line of code.

Today I’m running 25+ production tools — AI workers, SaaS platforms, a mobile app on TestFlight — all built with AI as my technical co-founder.

Season 2 isn’t coming. It’s here. And the builders winning right now aren’t the best engineers — they’re the best at describing the problem.

So let’s find each other. If you’re building:

🤖 AI tools or agents
👩‍ SaaS
📱 Mobile apps
🛠️ Automation / workers
📈 Growth & marketing tech
💸 Fintech or legal tech
🧪 A side project nobody believes in yet

Drop it below. One line: what it is + who it’s for. #connect

I’ll personally reply to every single one and the best ones get shared with my network. 👇

@markproduct What we don't understand we hate. Human nature.

@asaio87 Have done a lot 5-6 hours a day for months and never hit a limit. Multiple tabs at a time.

[Jacob @Jacobmalherbe21]

@Heyyanyaa Would love to but i need followers

[Jacob @Jacobmalherbe21]

@wickedguro Real Social Connections or Kids is your answer. Speaking from experience 5 kids.

[Jacob @Jacobmalherbe21]

@Im_IrushiK Everything done inside Claude

[Jacob @Jacobmalherbe21]

@softDev23 was just checking out your website. Very cool apps you are building. The best stuff gets build out of passion not investors. Original from Denmark now in USA. So neighbors at one time lol.

Some people do the NYT crossword on Sunday morning. I read court filings about FTX and feel things.
If "documented chaos with receipts" is your vibe, this is the site → https://t.co/C1yARwX04X

@softDev23 weird thing with Cloudflare is with 110 workers (web App) I have build its still just free ? Like I have never paid them anything to use their platform. Its really great

[Jacob @Jacobmalherbe21]

@softDev23 Claude and Cloudflare is the magic.
