Kudos to @marclou. He was not only quick to address and correct the anomaly, but also offered a sincere apology, showing genuine self-criticism and self-awareness.

It's refreshing to see this kind of accountability. All my respect

I made a mistake.

When Jack and I decided to organize this $100K Hackathon, my biggest concern was cheating.

Unlike a regular hackathon, everyone participates from home. And because the winner is whoever makes the most PROFIT (not revenue), there are so many ways to manipulate the numbers.

So I added a $99 entry fee.

One thing I’ve learned from building businesses is that people tend to be more committed when they pay for something.

I thought it would filter out spam, attract serious builders, and make the competition fairer for everyone.

But I completely missed the other side.

3 years ago, I was a living with my apps. Today, I’m financially free. My life changed so much that somewhere along the way, I lost perspective on what $99 means to someone else.

For someone in India, someone struggling to pay their bills, or someone trying to make their first dollar online, $99 can be a lot of money.

And those are exactly the people I want to help!

I’ve spent years sharing what I’ve learned, reviewing random people’s landing pages, and organizing free meetups around the world. Not because there’s money to make, but because I genuinely love seeing people build things and succeed.

And somehow, I was so focused on keeping cheaters out that I didn’t realize I was also keeping genuine builders out.

That’s my mistake.

So I’ve decided to make the $100K Hackathon completely FREE :)

Everyone who already paid got a full refund.

I’m still worried about cheating. That problem hasn’t disappeared, and Jack and I will have to figure out better ways to verify profits and keep the leaderboard fair.

But that’s our problem to solve.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts. Sometimes you need people to remind you of things you’ve forgotten.

I genuinely hope this hackathon changes someone’s life.

Vibe coders are getting sued.

People are shipping apps with real users and skipping the boring stuff that kills them.

A 20+ year dev shared the pre-launch checklist every AI builder needs.

I added what I learned after shipping 60+ apps at the agency.

Don't skip this:

1. Protect yourself, not just your app. The moment you collect user data you're in legal territory (GDPR, CCPA). Have a privacy policy. Know where user data lives.

2. Row Level Security. Without RLS, anyone can open DevTools and read your entire database. Supabase → Auth → Policies. Zero policies means your app is naked. 5 min to fix.

3. Test the failure path, not just the happy path. Wrong password 5x. Reset for an email that doesn't exist. Verification link clicked twice. Signup with an existing email. Catches 80% of auth bugs.

4. Security baseline in 2 min. Prompt your AI: "Review my app as a security specialist and make sure I have strong security headers and a solid baseline security posture."

5. OWASP. Prompt: "Review my app against OWASP standards and highlight vulnerabilities." This is where SQL injection, XSS and auth bugs actually get caught.

6. Client-side validation is UX, not security. Attackers disable JS and hit your API directly. Validate again on the server. Every time.

7. AI code leaks data in 3 spots: .env values in the frontend, API responses returning too much, secrets in logs. Prompt: "Check my app for credential or sensitive data leaks in frontend or API routes."

8. API keys in the frontend means game over. If it's in the browser, assume it's already taken. Move it server-side or proxy it.

9. Rate limits before someone burns your API bill. Cap every endpoint hitting a paid API. I've watched a Supabase bill jump from $20 to $200 in a day.

10. CAPTCHA on public forms (Cloudflare Turnstile is free) plus CORS locked to your domain. 10 min, kills bot floods.

11. Error messages that don't leak. "User not found", not "SELECT * FROM users failed". Log full errors server-side, show users generic messages.

Build fast. Just don't ship naked.

Wow! 😱 This is night and day

Thanks to you now 🫶🏽

ANTHROPIC JUST CHANGED THE ENTIRE AI-SLOP FRONTEND.

It’s called Frontend Design, the official Anthropic skill for Claude Code.

And it already has 161,000 stars on GitHub.

The problem it solves is simple:

Every time you asked AI to build a website, you got the same thing.

Inter as the font.

Purple gradient.

Generic startup layout.

Eternal AI slop.

Frontend Design kills that.
Forces Claude to pick an aesthetic direction before it touches a single line of code.

And the result completely changes.

You can ask for:

→ brutalist
→ editorial
→ retro-futurist
→ luxury
→ maximalist

And it generates HTML, CSS, JS, React or Vue, production-ready.
How to install:

1. https://t.co/W7fWvbnDpE
2. describe the website or component you want.
3. pick a style.
4. Claude builds typography, color, motion and composition consistent.

One install. Available across every session.

Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and 15+ harnesses.

100% open source. Maintained by Anthropic.

277,000+ installs in a few months speak louder than any review.

フロントエンドの仕事、マジで消滅するかもしれません…。

いま世界中で大パニックになってるGitHubリポジトリを見つけたんですが、これ一瞬で【9.6万Star】を超えた異例のバケモノプロジェクトです。

何がヤバいかというと、Apple、Figma、Stripeなど「世界最高峰の企業が持つデザインシステム」を、AIが読み込める言語（DESIGN.md）に整理して無料公開してくれていること。

使い方は拍子抜けするほど簡単。
お気に入りのブランドの『DESIGN.md』をコピーして、自分のプロジェクトのフォルダにポンと置くだけ。
たったこれだけです。

あとはCursorなどのAIエディタが、Markdownに書かれた「色・フォント・余白・コンポーネントの挙動」などの緻密なルールを自動で読み込み、一切ブレのないトップブランド水準のUIを自律的に生成してくれます。

📍複雑な解析や設定は一切不要
📍「〇〇風にして」と指定するより圧倒的に高精度
📍人間がCSSをポチポチ書く時代は終了

もはやエンジニアは「デザインを実装する」のではなく「AIにデザインのルールブックを渡すだけ」の世界線に突入しました。
時代に取り残されないように、今すぐブクマして試してみてください👇

It’s over. I’m quitting design.

A client of mine just created a logo with Fable 5, and the result left me speechless.

It understood the brand story, values, audience, strategy, and turned all of it into a smart, minimal symbol. A genuinely brilliant concept. The kind of idea that captures everything at once. Something I honestly don’t think I would have come up with myself.

And it didn’t just nail the idea. It executed the design pixel-perfectly.

So I raise the white flag.

My skepticism about AI’s ability to do great design is officially gone.

There, I said it:

AI beat me at design.

Now that AI finally took my job, I can peacefully quit and dedicate my life to studying the only thing it may never achieve: human consciousness and the pathways to God.

Good luck everyone.

✨ I think I've been coding almost solely on my VPS with Claude Code for almost a year now

All I can say it's just fantastic:
- no need to keep laptop open ever
- no laptop battery drain
- can switch to phone or any other device you like whenever you want to continue (like when you're outside)
- it just keeps going all night while you sleep (esp with /goal)
- you can start hacky projects from scratch and go live in seconds because you're already on the server which is great to ship things and get it used by people fast (not stuck on your local laptop webserver)
- it just feels like living in the future

I used to code on my laptop, test locally, then push to GitHub, then it auto pulled and deploy to production, that'd take me ~1 minute to get a new feature out

But then when I bought a new Mac Book Pro a few years ago I was too lazy to install a local Nginx environment, so I just started pushing to prod and everything went fine, and I sped up deploying to about 3 seconds from laptop to server, which people called me crazy for too

But now with Claude Code on my VPS in the last year, it just live edits on my production server, which sounds like it should go wrong but it just doesn't, it's very careful and only twice in 12 months messed up which meant my site didn't load for 10 seconds which is OK

If I wasn't working solo, like at a big company, I' think I'd recommend the same workflow but with a staging server, so it wouldn't touch production, for safety and regulatory reasons etc. but for me it's fine

I agree with @theo completely, it's clear to me this is where it's going, also seeing @karpathy with Claude moving to the cloud (via Slack etc), I think AI "agents" and AI coding will operate on servers / from the cloud first

P.S. I have 3-2-1 backups, multiple on-site and off-site backups which you should also even if you wouldn't code with AI, safety first!

Day 7 of waiting for @AnthropicAI #Fable5

Went to a river with my wife and kids.

Experienced direct sunlight.
Graphics were incredible.
Storyline felt a bit unstructured but the immersion was unmatched.

What side quests are you all doing while we wait?

Aside from becoming my fav 2025 startup drama. @theo 's roast on TBC is so on point. 🎯

I've always been troubled by how CEOs are expected to fit a certain mold. Isn't real leadership about authenticity, not just mimicking patterns? #Leadership
