@lassvestergaard @marclou If you message @dgccrf and @CNIL in France you can get @marclou on his knees begging you, that’s a crazy penalty in EU per day
Turns out the grifter @marclou doesn’t allow you to unsubscribe, not the first time he doesn’t care about data leaks or rgpd for him it’s an obstacle to earn more on clueless devs
Because you’re incapable of building something else then CRUD to clueless devs, you’re in the perpetual grift, it’s not a will issue it’s a CAN’T issue
I can't focus 100% on a single startup.
It's been a few months working on TrustMRR, and I feel a strong urge to try other things.
0 → 1 makes me more excited than 1 → 100
Excited to share that I've joined Vercel's Board of Directors. Vercel is made up of builders and tastemakers that continually ship things that deeply impact how developers work: Next.js, AI SDK, v0, etc. I can't think of a more exciting place to be. Let's fucking ship. ▲
My relationship with Vercel goes back to the earliest days. HashiCorp was an early adopter of NextJS and Vercel (~10 years ago!) and it remains my default tech stack and deployment platform to this day. Ghostty's website is all on Vercel, too!
Beyond that, I've been continually impressed with the teams relentless focus on shipping meaningful software. And importantly, software that has incredible taste.
Now we are in the age of agentic software development. Vercel is building agentic infrastructure that I think every app and agent will need (I certainly need it!) and I can't think of a more exciting place to be.
Huge thanks to @rauchg , Jeanne, Marten, @cramforce, @tomocchino and the entire Vercel team for the warm welcome. Time to work.
@TheAhmadOsman You’re trying so hard to be relevant with GPUs it hurts you that regular people with 10k could host Kimi at home silently while you’re still figuring out cuda drivers
Btw MLX can do concurrent requests
@levelsio There’s some truth, it’s absolute slop, all uses cases are grifting and the basic tools like send mail or browsing where always there
The attention it is getting is not organic and the pushback is around that
wait, no ones gonna talk about how artificial the entire openclaw push was?
- jan 26: explodes in stars
- early feb: big sf event
- early feb: lex podcast
- early feb: yc and openai vid
- mid feb: acquisition by openai (for 30m, right?)
it glows in the dark.
Want to hear an even more surreal story?
I was a freelancer in Spain, making 4-5K€ per month. Then my son was born, and I was forced to take at least 6 weeks of paternity leave. During this time I would be paid around 900€/month (regardless of how much I made).
A good portion of my income came from ongoing monthly contracts that didn't require daily involvement on my part, and I arranged with my clients to do more work upfront and then catch up when I came back to make up for my time away.
HOWEVER, to my surprise, my accountant told me the Spanish system did not allow me to create invoices during my paternity leave.
I asked if I could give up my paternity leave "benefits" altogether. The answer was NO.
So for a while there, I was forced by the government to stop generating 4-5K€ for my family and instead take the 900€ they so kindly were giving me.
