Q1 has come to an end, and it’s been an exciting one for us at @foondamate ! We've written a Q1 Roundup here: https://t.co/zwqpU3txHK

➡️ We started Q1 at just over 1M users, finished the quarter at 1.8M.

Super grateful to @Meta for coming all the way to my township to highlight the work we’re doing @foondamate and where it all started. It was amazing to see the community support and we will continue to work on making it easy for every student to learn and build a better life. 🚀

cat is the most misused thing by programmers new to linux. I cringe every time someone uses it wrong in a bash script. Thread below with proper uses of cat only

The Raspberry Pi foundation kid tutorials are top-notch. My nieces and nephews love them. Lots of different tracks (gaming with unity, etc.), and programming languages (scratch, python).

Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

diversification is such a limiter early on in your career

people love the idea of “multiple revenue streams” and i see indie hackers doing “12 products in 12 months”

compounding, the most powerful force in the world, only happens when you commit to something

Myth: open foundation models are antithetical to AI safety.
Fact: open foundation models are critical for AI safety.

What FoondaMate's been building over the last two years is nothing short of incredible. A ton of groundwork laid for this moment.

As the world shifts focus towards LLMs x everything, here's a team at the forefront of education.

Nearly 2m users and haven't even gotten started.

[Dacod Magagula @dacodmagagula]

Now, more than ever, we are excited to be moving the needle at the intersection of education and AI. Our core strength remains organising information students care about; that, if organised, made malleable, and accessible at scale, has the potential to transform lives. 🚀

The engagement we saw in Q1 serves as evidence of the potential of the approach we’ve committed to.
