I love this idea from @jasonfried
"Your only competition is your costs."
Keep costs low, keep the team small, make stuff you want to use. You don't need the whole world:
“A business is very simple. You got to make more than you spend. If you're making more than you spend, then your competition is your cost.
That's what you're really in business against, how much it costs you to stay in business.
It's not all the other alternatives that are on the market.
You can't control what they're going to put out there, what they're going to price it at, all the things they're going to do. They're going to do what they're going to do.
What I can control is how much it costs me to run my business, how much I sell my product for, and as long as I make more than I spend, I get to stay in business.
And isn't that what this is all about, staying in business?
That's what it's all about because I like this. I want to keep doing this. I can't keep doing it if I don't stay in business.
I can't keep doing it if I make less than it costs me to make the things that I make.
So I'm always thinking about the only competition I really have on an annual basis is to make sure that we make more as a company than it costs us to run the company.
That's my real competition.”
I keep thinking OpenClaw is going to catch back up to Hermes. But @Teknium is winning me over with each flawless upgrade.
So now I’m about to drop OpenClaw and make Hermes my primary foundation to build the future.
Tell me why I’m wrong to do this.
ComfyUI is the most flexible, composable, and powerful open-source media generation tool with a massive ecosystem of workflows and custom nodes.
Your Hermes Agent can now install, launch, manage, and run sophisticated @ComfyUI workflows on demand.
Tried ride hailing after a long time with @rapidobikeapp and just learnt a hilarious use by the riders: it's being used to hail but not complete rides. Rider accepts rides, call you to get the right amount, when you get in the cab asks you to cancel and pocket the full amount.

What is the future of design in a post-AI world?
Ryo Lu pioneered new patterns for collaboration as Notion’s founding designer. He now leads design at @cursor_ai where he shapes new ways to build software.
3 months ago, I quit my job to chase a dream: to build an affordable, convenient, plastic-free coffee maker.
Grateful for everyone who has reserved ❤️

Cursor+Opus4.6 are so freaking scary and powerful at the same time. Gets you drool but also worry if it's too good to be true. Audit your builds fellas...
Benefit of casually consuming Devops and Networking content on @YouTube is that your vibe-coded apps have atleast some basic security hardening ground covered. Thanks @NetworkChuck and other creators i dont remember
It's not because anyone *can* vibe code an app that everyone *wants to*.
Anyone can grow their own vegetables, how many do?
Automation made it so a single farmer can make 100x more food.
Agentic coding makes it so a single developer can make 100x more software.
Dude was born/brought up/educated in India, got off the boat 20yrs ago & became a US citizen. Today Krishnan advises Trump on matters of AI & has the audacity to sit on a panel smugly & tell us that India should be using 'American AI stack as the bedrock'
From what angle does this look like AI Sovereignty?
This is the cost of regressing and missing the AI bus - this is what happens when education & research is given the boot by successive governments.
