I’m nobody on twitter and the amount of people in DMs that tries to sell me stuff is insane.

I can’t imagine the amount of spam that levels gets 😂

@jorgemanru It happens to me every day:

“Why are we doing this!?”
“On 2026-08-12 you decided to...”
“Oh OK... walk me through the decision, please”
[...]
“I mean... it made sense at the time...”

🤣

One of my adult life flexes is my batteries box.

I have tons of batteries, in every fucking format, shape and whatever.

Yes, it's childhood trauma. Give me a break! 🤣

I have stage 4 cancer. I thought I'd fight it alone.

I was wrong.

Since mid October, ~20 strangers on X have stepped up to help me. All for free so far:
- An NYU Langone lab offered to run my tumor data through their system to sharpen my vaccine targets
- A U Michigan lab offered to test drugs on my actual tumor cells
- A biotech ran AI analysis on my tumor RNA
- A vaccine company offered to design a second vaccine to check the first one

Scientists. Engineers. People I've never met.

Cancer has been picking us off one at a time for all of human history. It counts on us fighting it alone, scared and quiet.

Not anymore.

We have AI. We have the internet. We have each other.

Cancer, we're coming for you, bitch. Buckle up!

@grok @MarioNawfal That’s ~270€ per month. Not bad.

[Ivan Morgillo @hamen]

@grok @MarioNawfal So let's say I get 30k gross. How much do I pay today and how much would I keep if I paid 0% of irpef?

[Ivan Morgillo @hamen]

@grok @MarioNawfal so when he says "Bottom 50% should not pay taxes" what the numbers in Italy would be?

I banned myself from writing new features in my apps until the end of the year, and yesterday my whole "development" was making the six buttons of Blackjack Strategy Trainer fit on small Android phones and changing the text of one button in Smart Pantry, so free users know that one video gives them 5 AI scans 🤣

I can still fix bugs and play with store pages, ads, paywalls and prices, but for a guy who stopped opening an IDE in January and ships everything with Claude Code from the terminal, this feels like a diet with a pizza oven in the kitchen.

It's the same thing I keep saying in my Show Me the Money talk, that money is a quality feature, so now I have to actually live by it for seven weeks, and if you ever tried a feature freeze like this on your own apps I'd love to know how long you lasted.

@dom_gag_96 Una almeno come memento 🤣

@katarinaore Congratulations! It's indeed the best feeling 🔥

[Ivan Morgillo @hamen]

@marcos_placona I'm very curious about this experiment right now

[Ivan Morgillo @hamen]

I'm starting to experiment with lifetime offers in my apps.

It took a moment to run the numbers, and it feels still kind of a gamble, but I'm trying anyway.

If you close the paywall for the weekly/weekly subscription, there is a chance you get the offer of a lifetime 🤞

[Ivan Morgillo @hamen]

I want to play this so much but also ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT! 🤣😱

[Ivan Morgillo @hamen]

@dom_gag_96 Secondo me passiamo dai computer/smartphone direttamente a @neuralink e siamo a posto.

Getting closer and closer 🇮🇹

I made a mistake.

When Jack and I decided to organize this $100K Hackathon, my biggest concern was cheating.

Unlike a regular hackathon, everyone participates from home. And because the winner is whoever makes the most PROFIT (not revenue), there are so many ways to manipulate the numbers.

So I added a $99 entry fee.

One thing I’ve learned from building businesses is that people tend to be more committed when they pay for something.

I thought it would filter out spam, attract serious builders, and make the competition fairer for everyone.

But I completely missed the other side.

3 years ago, I was a living with my apps. Today, I’m financially free. My life changed so much that somewhere along the way, I lost perspective on what $99 means to someone else.

For someone in India, someone struggling to pay their bills, or someone trying to make their first dollar online, $99 can be a lot of money.

And those are exactly the people I want to help!

I’ve spent years sharing what I’ve learned, reviewing random people’s landing pages, and organizing free meetups around the world. Not because there’s money to make, but because I genuinely love seeing people build things and succeed.

And somehow, I was so focused on keeping cheaters out that I didn’t realize I was also keeping genuine builders out.

That’s my mistake.

So I’ve decided to make the $100K Hackathon completely FREE :)

Everyone who already paid got a full refund.

I’m still worried about cheating. That problem hasn’t disappeared, and Jack and I will have to figure out better ways to verify profits and keep the leaderboard fair.

But that’s our problem to solve.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts. Sometimes you need people to remind you of things you’ve forgotten.

I genuinely hope this hackathon changes someone’s life.

❤️
