🇸🇬 Singapore!

The entire country is malls, hotels, luxury, business and food. Reminds me of Dubai a lot! There's actually a lot of events on Luma, more than in other countries in the region so a good place to build I think

[Yuyu @swSalim]

finally met @illyism and @hboon, my first time meeting X friends IRL ☕️

great to learn what they are doing with their SaaS products

@onlinedopamine Damn

The internet is healing

All these 0-days were already there for years I guess

New models are better at finding them?

Devs are always the first since code is easy to scan

I hope next is cancer

@marclou Happy birthday king 👑

[ILIAS ISM @illyism]

@adrian_horning_ @marclou Let's see

[ILIAS ISM @illyism]

Every @marclou launch follows the exact same script:

"noooo you can't just sell a Next.js boilerplate for $199, look at this leaked CLI token!!"
→ fixes it in 2 hours
→ prints $1M+ with ShipFast

"noooo you can't teach coding in 2 weeks, you're not even a real senior engineer!!"
→ ships CodeFast anyway
→ $30k/mo peak ($7k/mo today)

"noooo you can't just build web analytics, attribution is hard and your tracking script has bugs!!"
→ patches every bug in public
→ DataFast is at $31k/mo

"noooo you can't just vibe-code a verified Stripe database, people are spoofing webhooks and test keys!!"
→ uses Twitter haters as free QA, patches every exploit, adds acquisitions
→ TrustMRR is now at $53k/mo

Today:
"noooo you can't just vibe-code a beehiiv alternative over the weekend, email deliverability and SES wrappers are way too hard!!"

Half of X is writing essays in his quote tweets doing free QA and giving him 500k impressions while he fixes the edge cases in prod lol 😂

Never bet against Marc

[Marc Lou @marclou]

I vibe-coded beehiiv, and it's 83% cheaper.

haha yes similar, I use Anki mostly when I used to

but now mostly talking more

use voice mode in AI also + send voice notes in AI and have it correct me in text

I now just ramble into chatgpt (it converts to text) for 5 minutes in a voice and then it tells me mistakes + replies, it keeps me engaged as I try to talk about interesting topics I care about

I think Gemini could work here also, since it can actually correct your spelling and pronunciation

I made https://t.co/dZK5voKwJG a week ago, try the voice mode, it is fairly OK, I think there is more to this here

[ILIAS ISM @illyism]

It's hard to accept that in a few months almost everything my mind can do, AI does better

I'm trying to learn a language right now and it's sooo damn slow, while any translator does it instantly

Same with coding, drawing, copywriting, piano, photography, design, editing videos, anything I try to get good at

Everything I spent 15 years getting good at is now a 10 second prompt, and learning anything new feels like running in sand

We're limited by our minds and body I think

How do you even cope with this?

[ILIAS ISM @illyism]

@marclou Don't you dare give up
