I almost didn't start posting on X.

I thought:
"I am not popular enough."
"I don't know enough."
"Who will even read my posts?"

Then I realised...

The people I learn from also started with 0 followers.

Now I have one rule:

Create first.
Overthink later.

One thing I am trying to get better at:

How do you actually build a strong network?

Not just adding people, but finding the right people, joining good communities, starting real conversations, and growing together.

What has worked for you?

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

The easiest way to know if your X strategy is working:

Stop checking impressions.

Ask yourself:
"Did anyone learn something from this?"

If the answer is no, the algorithm is probably not your biggest problem.

AI coding agents need security boundaries, not just better prompts.

𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 going rogue is becoming less surprising.
The surprising part would be shipping one that never needed a sandbox.

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

the funny part about ai progress: we’re now optimising the intelligence layer for the intelligence layer.

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

@_chenglou Midjourney escaped the sandbox. Now the real question is: who’s going to stop it from replacing our entire design team?

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

@sama This is what great teams look like. Building great products is important, but making customers win and celebrating that win is what keeps a team hungry.

Some where in the world Good night and some where in the world Good morning.
Hope world get everything good

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

@PreslavMihaylov Exactly. 100% agree with your point. I believe developers with strong fundamentals will become even better with AI. They can explore more approaches, validate decisions faster, and focus more on the engineering depth that actually matters.

They are giving the best instructions. Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents can build features.
They still can't replace product thinking, architecture and business context. AI writes code. Engineers make decisions. That's still the biggest advantage

@DanielSmidstrup End user suggestion are more important in every phase of product development cycle.

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

@dearsummer0 Yes, True

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

@paulg Even ChatGPT knows you need a little humility, Paul. Sometimes it is better than therapy.

[Manish Kukreja @IamRealManish]

Everyone compares benchmarks.

I am more interested in real workflows.

Which one has genuinely improved your productivity:
- Codex
- Claude Code
- Grok Cli
- Mention other that is not in the list
