Building systems that move money and data. Engineer. Infrastructure. Leverage. Exploring where tech meets power.

@sama Sam- since 5.4 came out I haven’t been able to stop vibe coding with codex. I can’t even sleep at night just thinking about what I can build. It’s fucking incredible. I built this lead generation platform using it, and it only took a week and it looks amazing. Thank you sir 🫡

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

I built a lead gen app that pulls businesses from Google and enriches them with AI.

Cost per lead:
• $0.20 → Google (data)
• $0.02 → OpenAI (AI enrichment)

Lesson: compute is cheap. Data is expensive.

@dramaricic I think people throw around the word wrapper to include anything that uses an AI API. Like https://t.co/kXji6JERMy - people said it was a chat gpt wrapper but it has over 200 users now. Yes it uses OpenAI api but it also plugs into google, resend, and provides a nice UI.

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

@gailcweiner I built this - https://t.co/kXji6JERMy with gpt 5.4. It’s scary but awesome

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

I just built this with GPT-5.4

You enter the service you offer, and a geographic area and it gives you a list of AI enriched leads.

I’m proud of it, but I need to know if it’s actually useful. give me feedback, DM me your Venmo, and I’ll send $10

@DearS_o_n Persistence. The way you become unstoppable is by refusing to stop.

@kareem_carr They want to build one ubiquitous tool, powered by their AI, that replaces all others. Once they do that, they’ll be the next Microsoft

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

@Tech_girlll To tell the ai what and how to code, run, debug, and review, lol.

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

@ujjwalscript You’re not wrong, but I think there are a lot of clunky legacy tools and systems that can benefit from a quick rebuild with AI

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

@arvidkahl The way to get ai to write clean code is to just emphasize to it that the code needs to be modular and easy to debug. People just create obstacles where there aren’t any.

@LayahHeilpern @LayahHeilpern AI is just an amplifier. It is not a brain. The moment you realize this, everything changes.

In 10 years this won’t be the case anymore. We’re in the leverage window. Strike while the iron is hot. Love your content btw

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

Anyone else notice that OpenAI made chat gpt 10x more addictive by having it offer to propose a new million dollar piece of advice in the next prompt, at the end of every prompt.

Like for example- you tell it to build a social media post. It will end with “want me to give you the proven formula for how creators in your space go viral?” Then you say yes, it gives you that, and ends that one with something similar. It triggers an infinite loop of prompting.

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

You will never reach a moment where it suddenly feels perfect.

Design always feels 95% done.

Just keep shipping.

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

@Kishan_Devani_ You have to start by solving a problem for real users and grow from there. Don’t build something nobody asked for and getting users isn’t hard.

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

@Karn338331 @TheMG3D Are you listening to me? That’s because we’re only investing in the data center and chips right now and haven’t pivoted to the robotics that will be powered by the data centers and chips. Wait until we do. The AI is capable we just have to build the robotics.

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

Advice for vibe coders-

Build the product in pieces. The more you ask the AI to do in one prompt, the worse the output. Build it piece by piece for the best result.

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

Sure. When we have robots building houses, driving us around, harvesting crops, cooking food, doing laundry, cleaning houses, doing landscaping, building electronics, installing plumbing and electric, and everything else - the amount of compute needed will be massively bigger than what we have. Which part do you disagree with?

[Nick Ciambrone @NickCiambrone]

@alexcloudstar Build something that you would use yourself and you’re probably onto something.
