The older I get, the more I respect boring people.

Same routine.
Same standards.
Same direction.
For years.

Then everyone calls their results “luck.”

@ouammou_mariyem C'est exactement ce que j'ai essayé de faire , éliminer l'approche pdf, et faire un truc sympa ( images , flash cards ... ) , j'espère que ça va te plaire.

Kit Civique is live 🇫🇷

Since January 1, 2026, France requires a civic exam for certain residence permits, resident cards, and naturalization applications.

40 questions.
45 minutes.
32 correct answers to pass.
The problem: the preparation material is scattered across official documents, PDFs, notes, and practice questions.
So I built Kit Civique to bring everything into one focused place.

You can:

→ Take a free 20-question test to see your level by topic
→ Learn through short lessons covering the 5 official themes
→ Practice with instant corrections and review your mistakes
→ Use flashcards for quick daily revision
→ Take full mock exams: 40 questions, 45 minutes, official-style distribution
→ Track your progress over time
→ Stay motivated with gamification: goals, streaks, points, and rewards

The idea is simple:

One place to learn, practice, review, and prepare without constantly jumping between resources.
Every answer links back to an official source, and every question is reviewed before publication.
You can also install Kit Civique on your phone like an app.
Naturalization preparation is available now.
Resident card and multi-year residence permit preparation are coming soon.
If you know someone living in France who is preparing for the civic exam, please share it with them 🙏

If you look through my commit history, you’ll see messages that just say “1%.”Those are the days I least feel like doing the work. So I do my 1%: a small CSS change, removing dead code, or even renaming a function. It’s not always easy, but I’ve learned that showing up, even when you don’t feel like it, is how you move forward.

One of the greatest competitive advantages in 2026 might simply be:

Being able to sit alone for 3 hours,

with one problem,

without checking anything else.

That ability is becoming rare.

[Ayman @aymanchafai]

Money is interesting because it exposes problems.

At $0 revenue: “I need customers.”

Then customers arrive:

Now you need retention.
Support.
Taxes.
Systems.
Distribution.
Focus.

Every solved problem unlocks a more interesting one.

I’m becoming obsessed with reducing friction.

One less click.
One less decision.
One less field.
One less second.
One less explanation.

Great products often feel simple because someone worked incredibly hard removing complexity.

Do not expect anyone to be happy for your success unless they are already happy with their own.

Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family.

It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

@yesadok Every single day hah

[Ayman @aymanchafai]

Being a solo founder is basically switching personalities all day.

9 AM: engineer.
11 AM: designer.
2 PM: customer support.
4 PM: marketer.
7 PM: SEO.
11 PM: CEO wondering why none of the above worked fast enough.

[Ayman @aymanchafai]

@chenzhangreal You have to do it all buddy

[Ayman @aymanchafai]

My rule with Claude Code:

Never let “the tests pass” be the definition of done.

Read the diff.
Understand the implementation.
Check the UX.
Run the real flow.

Tests verify assumptions.

Users test reality.

[Ayman @aymanchafai]

The biggest upgrade to my AI coding workflow wasn't a better model.

It was better context.

Architecture docs.
Coding rules.
Business logic.
Known traps.
Commands.
Testing expectations.
