How are you going to modernize your company's technology?

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

@BertrandDiouly X algo doing its thing I see...

Find me people who:

- build with AI all day
- ship small apps fast
- love dogs
- had a rough season and came back

🪞 Mirror Mirror On The Wall 🪞

Let's #connect 👋

@alen_jame Are you agentically building the supplement tracking iOS app?

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

Hi X 👋

Let's connect and grow together 🚀

I'm an Open Source developer building apps in:

🥇 Rust
🥈 Go
🥉 Bash

What are you building?

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

It's hard to choose the right projects to pin on my profile.

Which do you like?

Can I get a ⭐️ from you?

@iuliantenk 100 customers are enough of a burden onto a part time work effort at $1K MRR — frankly speaking.

For customers paying more than $10/month, its a big ask and many of us limit our subscription budgets each month.

The money that retires you from your job is not found there.

@ExactlyJosh Shout out to all of my Zed editor devs out there 🤣

My extent to VS Code is adding .vscode/ to .gitignore

🤝

@SolutionsJoeG @OpenAI @AnthropicAI I like your build out plan.

It reflects similar to that which I do.

I plan in GPT-6 for the prompt, then I run the prompt and it builds it out.

When users ask questions before the build, the build stops mid-way due to expired context window.

Your solution prevents that.

Does anybody contribute to open source work using LiberaPay at all?

I give $0.01/week for the next 14.4 years to jnml.

Maintainer of https://t.co/AISSn9XuVQ.

$7.77 at $0.01/week = 14.4 years 🚀

What if we all give each other 1 penny?

100 people max.

@vltg__ I thought it would be fun dad energy to:

🥇 release https://t.co/yQvLPrpGiR this year
🥈 make it open source on 11/11 in 18 years
🥉 I created my github and this account 18 years ago

That gives me 18 years to bring the idea to adulthood.

Then it's free.

Peak dad energy.
🤣

I asked @GeminiApp which dev post of mine it loved.

It chose this article.

"An honest critique of how modern AI models scrape open-source repositories to build proprietary commercial tools."

When AI Creates A Closed Source World

@chriszhang012 🤝 what are you building?

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

Do people here have @LinkedIn or do we just make fun of it here?

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

@SolutionsJoeG Vibing it is really a catch-22 that I try to avoid. I like to spend a session in Opus building out an AGENTS.md file that then gets its own session and full window to implement.

I did that with Fable 5.2. It's on step 3/11 currently.

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

@sardorml I really like the hero section's UX. Nice work.

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

@SolutionsJoeG Love the product, not the bill! 💸

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

@NotJust_Code Connected 🤝

roc 🪨 empowers local AI coding agents with safe disposable containers that safely provide host to container MCPs such that you can combine graphicle indexes of react-native and shadcn/ui servers using chrome and playwright to build.

Happy 11/11 🫶🏻

Say Hi and let's #connect and grow together 🚀

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

The $20/mo plan is really unusable.

[Andrei Merlescu @andreimerlescu]

@leo_mercerr $10K cash should come from 10K followers if they are loyal.

$1/ea

Literally, sow where you want to reap.
