My Apple Developer account was hacked today.

Email changed. Phone numbers changed. Apps being transferred without my consent.

8 apps. My entire business at risk.

Has anyone dealt with this? How did you recover? @Apple @AppleSupport #BuildInPublic

Please RT 🙏

HOW TO BUILD A PROFITABLE STARTUP WITH $0

1\ find a problem by reading complaints not brainstorming ideas

> reddit threads show you what users desperately want but can't find

> g2/capterra/trustpilot reviews tell you exactly what people hate about existing software

> upwork job posts show you what tasks people already pay humans to do manually

> app store reviews expose the exact features competitors are missing

> twitter/x search "looking for a tool that" and you'll find 50 problems in 10 minutes

your customers are literally telling you what to build

2\ skip the business plan. open claude code. ship something ugly by sunday night

> your MVP should solve one problem and nothing else

> if it takes longer than a weekend you're building too much

> nobody cares about your design. they care if it fixes their problem

> the first version of every successful product looked terrible

> ship it broken. fix it based on what real users tell you

3\ charge money immediately

> free users don't give you feedback. most of them will go ghost after using it once.

> if someone won't pay $20/month for your solution they don't actually have the problem

> charging from day 1 is the fastest way to validate if your idea is real

> a paying customer's opinion is worth 100 free users' opinions

4\ use the stack you already know

> the stack you choose DOES NOT MATTER.

> who churns because you used postgres instead of some new trendy database?

> the best framework is the one you can ship fastest in

> don't spend 3 weeks learning a new tool when the old one works fine.

> your customers will never ask what language you wrote it in

> technical decisions should take 5 minutes

5\ host on a $10/mo VPS

> you are not google. you do not need kubernetes for 200 users

> a single $10 server handles more traffic than you think

> don't set up infrastructure for a million users when you have 12

> scale when scaling is actually the problem. right now distribution is the problem

> every dollar you spend on AWS is a dollar you can't spend on getting customers (AKA DISTRIBUTION)

6\ answer every single support ticket/feature request yourself

> you'll learn more about your product in one week than any analytics dashboard will tell you in a year

> your users will literally tell you what to build next if you just listen

> every churned customer who explains why they left is handing you a roadmap to get even more customers

> big companies can't do this. their support team has never met their CEO. you ARE the CEO

> this is your unfair advantage. don't outsource it until you absolutely have to

7\ automate anything you do more than twice

> a cron job is cheaper than an employee and never calls in sick

> openclaw can handle monitoring, alerts, and repetitive tasks 24/7

> if you're copy-pasting the same thing daily that's a script waiting to be written

> every hour you spend automating saves you hundreds of hours later

> your goal is to build a machine that runs without you touching it

8\ post what you're building every day on twitter

> "got 2 signups today and one of them was my mom" or "this guy asked for xyz feature, built it in 30 minutes and pushed to prod"

> raw honesty builds followers faster than polished content

> those followers become your first customers because they watched you build it

> one founder posted his revenue publicly every month. one post got 400 likes and 3 acquisition offers which is insane

> your journey IS the marketing

9\ keep your burn rate so low that revenue covers it from month 1

> small but profitable beats series A every single time

> if your monthly costs are $50 you only need 3 paying customers to be profitable

> every founder who raised money wishes they hadn't given up that equity

> the freedom of not having investors telling you what to do is worth more than their check

> stay alive long enough and compounding does the rest

10\ say no to everyone who wants a piece of what you're building

> say no to anyone who wants equity in exchange for "connections" or "advice"

> say no to cofounders unless they bring something you literally cannot do yourself

> say no to agencies promising growth hacks or SEO optimization for $5k/month.

> say no to VCs who want you to 10x when you just want to build something that works

> if their advice was worth 5% of your company they'd be building their own thing

you don't need a cofounder. you don't need permission. you don't need a pitch deck

you need claude code, a problem worth solving, and the discipline to show up every day

the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start

you don't

@v_computer Hey! It's cool! Can I try it?

Нам удалось переправить за границу биологические материалы Алексея. Лаборатории двух разных стран провели исследования. Эти лаборатории независимо друг от друга пришли к выводу, что Алексей был отравлен. Эти результаты представляют общественную ценность и должны быть опубликованы. Мы все заслуживаем знать правду.

[Yulia Navalnaya @yulia_navalnaya]

We managed to transfer Alexei’s biological materials abroad. Laboratories in two different countries conducted examinations. These laboratories, independently of each other, concluded that Alexei was poisoned. These results are of public importance and must be published. We all deserve to know the truth.

@seraleev Cool! It's very nice!

Where you looking for potential app's revenues?
I tried https://t.co/LpavFUCyxZ and https://t.co/rljuJMTrso but they have much less info or I am doing something not right.

Хочу рассказать о них и их жизни подробнее, мероприятие пройдет примерно через месяц, оставайтесь на связи!

В Лувре хранится небольшой кусок известняка (20х14 см). На нем строки, написанные редкой для Египта красной тушью с черными отметками. Это слова писца Бутехамуна, вдовца, который просит передать послание своей жене, Ихтай.

[Michail Shin @MichailShin]

Мы представляем древних египтян как совершенно чужих нам людей, построивших пирамиды и писавших непонятными иероглифами. За этими стереотипным фасадом находятся простые, очень узнаваемые жизни.

[Michail Shin @MichailShin]

Хочу рассказать ещё десятки таких историй о Риме, живых, смешных, трогательных.

🗓 15 и 16 августа: онлайн-истории + викторина в стиле ЧГК

В 1912 году в Италии нашли мраморную плиту в память о женщине по имени Алия Потеста.

Её жизнь была совсем не такой, как мы привыкли думать о древних римлянах.

[Michail Shin @MichailShin]

Это всё, что мы знаем о ней.
Но за этими словами — целая жизнь.
И вдруг, спустя почти 2000 лет, мы видим человека, очень похожего на нас.
