Rafa Jodar only has one person in his box for his match against Joao Fonseca in Madrid...

His dad.

He wasn't a tennis player, but learned a lot about the game so he could coach his son when he realized Rafa had a passion for it.

Great story.

If Claude Code or Codex just one-shotted an app for you, Read this.

Now you gotta go through every screen and find the 47 edge cases that break it. Users will do things you never imagined. Then comes auth, database setup, API rate limits, error handling for when the server goes down at 2am. You need analytics to figure out what users actually do vs what you think they do. App Store optimization, screenshots, descriptions, review responses. Privacy policies, terms of service, data compliance. Push notifications that actually work without being annoying. Performance optimization because that smooth demo gets real laggy with real data. State management across the whole app. Caching strategy. Offline support. Responsive design across 15 different screen sizes. Testing on older devices that somehow still exist. CI/CD pipeline so deploys don't eat your weekends. Then users start requesting features you never planned for and suddenly your clean architecture needs a rewrite.

The first version is maybe 10% of the actual work. Building is easy. Shipping and maintaining is where it gets real.

[GARY PLAYER @garyplayer]

It is truly a blessing to live in an era where we can witness greatness in sport from anywhere in the world. That was not always the case earlier in my life, and it makes moments like I just witnessed even more meaningful.

Watching Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the Australian Open just now was a powerful reminder of why he stands as the greatest tennis player the game has ever known. He is now pursuing his 25th major championship, an achievement that speaks not only to talent, but to discipline, resilience and an unwavering commitment to excellence. I only wish everyone could view such performances with both appreciation and understanding, recognising greatness with fairness and respect.

The Australian crowds were magnificent just as they always were for me, and Novak’s pursuit of what would be his 11th Australian Open title carries special significance. History shows that the very greatest champions often face adversity late in their careers, yet it is precisely this adversity that defines them.

Across all sports, true superstars share one defining trait: longevity. We have seen it time and again with Jack Nicklaus winning the Masters at 46, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan after this car accient, Tom Brady, Muhammad Ali, Michael Phelps, LeBron James and others. These athletes return to the summit not by chance, but because they possess something rare. Longevity, in my view, is one of the most underrated attributes in sport. Just as a great engine allows a BMW to endure, a great inner drive allows champions to last.

I was deeply moved watching Novak. His journey began under extraordinary hardship, growing up amid conflict surrounding his childhood. To rise from that environment to this level of global excellence is nothing short of remarkable. What he has achieved is admirable beyond words.

Novak now faces a monumental challenge in the final, but his legacy is already secure. Across all sports and all generations, only a handful of athletes possess what can only be described as “it.” That quality cannot be defined, measured or explained, but you know it when you see it.

Novak Djokovic has IT. GP

“And I took that personally”
NOVAK TO THE FINAL 💥

[Scott Barclay @BarclayCard18]

I am genuinely emotional. I was really seriously doubting Novak Djokovic's ability to produce matches of this quality anymore and that was alright because man, he's done EVERYTHING this sport has to offer.

But then... but fucking THEN!!!

He reminds me to NEVER doubt him. 😭
