Here is a thread of all the things I have been able to build with #GPT
and other Large Language Models.

Will grow as I complete more projects.

Now that's a vibe coding brother right there.

[dax @thdxr]

i use opencode a ton - it types out all the code for me

but i know how everything in my codebase works

anything that's subpar i'm aware of and i have a sense of how to fix it eventually

when ai fixes something i don't move on until i know it's the best possible fix

anything that requires hacky fixes i slow down and re-evaluate the whole system

2025 was the year of AI agents for me, as it was for the industry.

I wrote a year-in-review to reflect on my experience putting ghosts into machines and to share my outlook for the future.

Enjoy!

It is another level to see a problem in computing and go ahead to solve it on your own, even if it is an OS, browser, a programming language etc.

In today's world where everyone just goes with the flow, that is tremendously remarkable.

Just learning about Omarchy.

@kingsdesignsHQ This is a very good observation. The global gaming landscape is really huge both in unique technical achievements and clever design philosophy.

That's why games like "The Return of the Obra Dinn" and "Baba is you" could still excel where Triple-A titles fail.

[Farouk Ibrahim @faroukianoxide]

@kingsdesignsHQ @TheObiLeonard The global gaming landscape is also brutal and sometimes unforgiving. You see some gamers raging because of a single frame rate drop.

The point is, if one gets it wrong, they will be the laughing stock of the gaming world for a long time before any chance at redemption.

[Farouk Ibrahim @faroukianoxide]

@kingsdesignsHQ @TheObiLeonard and I can have a chat about this if he finally replies my LinkedIn DM.

I am proud that something like this is coming out of Nigeria. I don't have the guts to pull it of, but I do spend a considerable amount of mental bandwidth on thinking about game design.

@AdewaleYusuf_ A well-put-together video, senior man.

My elevator pitch always gets people's attention, no matter who they are:

"Hey,
I am Farouk, a software engineer from Nigeria. One time, I wrote code that saved people from going to jail...and now, I am...."

PS: I actually did.

[Farouk Ibrahim @faroukianoxide]

I don't think it's okay to not be a builder -- a maker of something.

[Farouk Ibrahim @faroukianoxide]

It is beginning to seem like only employers have the AI advantage over talents: AI résumé filters, creepy-looking AI interviewers, and AI talent scoring, among others. That's about to change.

A sneak peek into what I have been working on on the side.

@akothari This is peak product design and engineering. Congrats! The only startup that has actually impressed me in a while.

Also, how can I apply to be a Kothari brother?

I believe we’ve entered a new sub-era of the Information Age — what I call the Information Compression Age.

In my latest article, I explore how information compression will be a competitive advantage just as information abundance was, in earlier days.

I was cold DM'ed. The best message I have ever gotten. Right at a rather low moment in my life.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

I never knew poverty ever since.

Do the most, everyday.
Someone may be watching.

Isn't this the same guy that failed within the first month of launching his background picture app?

Sure, let's have him give his "opinion" on a product built by incredibly smart people with years of research and excellent vision.

Silly internet!

@MKBHD Like I say: I have low respect for people whose full time jobs is talking about other people's full time jobs.
