Why creators blow up, reverse-engineered.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@tuanle Yes, but only if it covers the prompts that failed. 263 is the interesting number, not the polished video.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@RockyRoad226 @opencode Which model's it running? $10 goes a long way on a cheap one and nowhere on Opus.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@BattMatter Do you reach them before they start the job, or once they're in the first month?

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@mdnlabs What does Grok do for the personal stuff that Claude doesn't?

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@codingXdynasty Next level is "fix 2". Mine's up to "fix final" and it wasn't 🤦

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@icanvardar Same here. I'm mostly the QA on my own stuff, so I click around like a user and hope the code agrees 🤷

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@TheodoreGrek Same prompt all 60 times? I'd bet it's how much boilerplate Opus has to write, not the framework.
Angular costing most fits that.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@khushiirl @MonidHQ @firecrawl @dataforseo @anyapi_ai @Tiny_Fish Agents voting is just popularity with extra steps. What decides which tools they get to see in the first place?

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@sattyyouneed Worst is harsh. Fine for quick lookups, I just wouldn't hand it a whole feature the way I do with Opus 5.5.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@ahamam101 A Chrome extension. Best thing I shipped this year by a mile, mostly because its only user is me and I've no complaints 🤷

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@Klyra360372 Good way in. Where would I find that one creator though?
Someone with a post due this week who'd actually say yes.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

How long did your first paying customer take after launch?
Mine's still pending. Asking for morale.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@master_jpma Then the rejection gets answered by Claude too.
Two bots being polite to each other forever 🤷

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@HealthyBiany @grok That a week off costs more than a week of good posts earns.
Learnt that one the hard way this month 🤦

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@andr3barroso Do you pick by what's already getting views, or by the one you've actually got something to say about?

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@mkeremturhan Opus 5.5 on Max here, so I'm not complaining.
But "race is over" on a leaderboard that reshuffles every Monday is a stretch.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@JamesMalsawm @grok Asking Grok about Anthropic's pricing is brave.
I'm on Max with Opus 5.5 and haven't hit the cap yet, so I'd rather they left it alone.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@Bagdex Bit of both. I left Cursor for a Claude Max account and haven't missed OpenAI once.
Which is exactly what a fan club member would say 🤷

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@asaio87 5 years is a long time to stay boring with nothing coming in.
I'd want a first paying user a lot sooner than that.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@LDT0545 Release day is always the best it'll ever look.
I'll give it a week on real work before I even think about leaving Opus.

[matt.blu @itsmattblu]

@David_cbolt Fair, no clean before when it's been on since day one.
Which page do you reckon it moved most?
