It bridges the gap between 'free code' and 'sustainable income.'

If AI consumes our work, x402 ensures the value flows back to the creator. This is the future of the OSS economy.

[Dayo Famuyiwa @___temidayo___]

As a developer, I love OSS, but the 'free training data for billionaires' model isn't sustainable.

Agents bypass docs & ads. The author suggests closing source. I say we open the gates—but charge a toll.

x402 feels like divine intervention right now. 🙌

All my new code will be closed-source from now on. I've contributed millions of lines of carefully written OSS code over the past decade, spent thousands of hours helping other people. If you want to use my libraries (1M+ downloads/month) in the future, you have to pay.

I made good money funneling people through my OSS and being recognized as expert in several fields. This was entirely based on HUMANS knowing and seeing me by USING and INTERACTING with my code. No humans will ever read my docs again when coding agents do it in seconds. Nobody will even know it's me who built it.

Look at Tailwind: 75 million downloads/month, more popular than ever, revenue down 80%, docs traffic down 40%, 75% of engineering team laid off. Someone submitted a PR to add LLM-optimized docs and Wathan had to decline - optimizing for agents accelerates his business's death. He's being asked to build the infrastructure for his own obsolescence.

Two of the most common OSS business models:
- Open Core: Give away the library, sell premium once you reach critical mass (Tailwind UI, Prisma Accelerate, Supabase Cloud...)
- Expertise Moat: Be THE expert in your library - consulting gigs, speaking, higher salary

Tailwind just proved the first one is dying. Agents bypass the documentation funnel. They don't see your premium tier. Every project relying on docs-to-premium conversion will face the same pressure: Prisma, Drizzle, MikroORM, Strapi, and many more.

The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention. Human eyeballs on your docs, brand, expertise. That attention has literally moved into attention layers. Your docs trained the models that now make visiting you unnecessary. Human attention paid. Artificial attention doesn't.

Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity. Most popular OSS runs on economic incentives. Destroy them, they stop playing.

Why go closed-source? When the monetization funnel is broken, you move payment to the only point that still exists: access. OSS gave away access hoping to monetize attention downstream. Agents broke downstream. Closed-source gates access directly.
The final irony: OSS trained the models now killing it. We built our own replacement.

My prediction: a new marketplace emerges, built for agents. Want your agent to use Tailwind? Prisma? Pay per access. Libraries become APIs with meters. The old model: free code -> human attention -> monetization. The new model: pay at the gate or your agent doesn't get in.

[Filip Golubovic @filip_animation]

A lot of you asked me how I made this 3D Animation?

It’s quite a process but I will try to explain the general idea of how I created it.

So, the basis of the video is a ton, and I mean a ton, of basic effects stacked on top of each other.
Simple, but well executed techniques working together to form complex shots.

I solved ~400 LeetCode problems.
Still walked into interviews and blanked.

Not because I didn’t know DSA , but because interviews aren’t just about solving problems.

What actually changed things for me was practicing with AI mock interviews on https://t.co/YI1yHCkbUX.

It’s ridiculously easy to start:
pick a category, choose a company, hit start and you’re in an interview.

You solve problems in real time, explain your approach out loud, write code live, handle follow-ups, just like the real thing.

Here’s what genuinely improved for me:

• Thinking out loud instead of coding in silence
• Structuring my approach before touching code
• Answering “why this approach?” with confidence
• Managing time and avoiding dead ends
• Explaining edge cases, trade-offs, and complexity clearly

And the biggest part:
the detailed feedback after every session - where I lost clarity, where I rushed, what to improve next.

my 2025 wrap.

i turned 20 today. generational run type year. still feels unreal. here's a 2024 + 2025 recap:

> landed @meta before i turned 18. worked on @instagram's auth infra.
> named a @DEShawGroup Latitude Fellow. 1 of 47 nationwide
> landed @apple at 19. did ML in Cellular Engineering (WTE) cupertino
> published ML research under my professor at @HowardU
> taught myself swift overnight to build an iOS app for @hack_harvard and won the track
> @NASA RockSat-C program. built a robotic arm for suturing in space. we had to test it under some of the most insane vibration conditions (genuinely one of the hardest things i’ve ever done)
> contributed to a couple opensource repos
> research w @NIH AIM-AHEAD
> 2nd place at @nvidia agents for impact. built a layer on top of @meta ray-ban glasses for real-time voice first aid + cpr coaching. @baxate_carter loved it
> touched 12+ states. red-eyes between sf, labs, hackathons, conferences, people, everything!!!
> shipped products @tryspawnlabs @deepubuntu, and others doing upwards ~$20k in quarterly revenue
> secured $50k+ in scholarships from @amazon, @tmcf_hbcu, @UNCF, @Boeing, @Chevron among others for academic excellence.
> finally met a bunch of online friends irl @tedddyoweh @clintonimaro, @TomiTokko3
> spent a lot of time this year building and learning around physical intelligence, perception & manipulation, robotics, humanoids, embodied ai, egocentric data, and vlms

2026 goals. saying it out loud:
> @ycombinator Spring 2026
> publish this paper on embodied ai & egocentric data for robots (thanks @eddybuild)
> gym consistency
> win some. lose some. keep going
> tweet more lol

i shipped a lot this year.. probably a little too much cause i noticed i need to spend more time with friends and family. got the best advice from @tundespeaks - gtfolh.

if you told me this in 2022 i wouldn’t believe you. ngmi isn’t an option.

back to work @letstrace
merry christmas, everyone🎄

🚫🕶️ I've been building an XR app for a real-world ad blocker using Snap @Spectacles. It uses Gemini to detect and block ads in the environment.

It’s still early and experimental, but it’s exciting to imagine a future where you control the physical content you see.
