Just launched Unledger! https://t.co/LNL6D4uZFq🚀

Built the MVP in ~3 days of vibecoding.

Unledger — know if your project is profitable while it's still running. Not after.

Built for freelancers, consultants & small agencies juggling multiple client projects at once — anyone who bills by project, not by salary.

What it does:
→ Chat to log expenses, payments, scope changes
→ Real-time margin, burn rate & budget forecast
→ Alerts before you hit zero — not after
→ What-if engine: "if I add one more revision, am I still profitable?"
→ Edit manually in dashboard if chat isn't your thing

All calculations are deterministic — AI understands what you say, math engine does the numbers. Same input, same output. Always accurate.

No spreadsheet. No accounting degree. Just ask.

@dhruvalgolakiya wao, it's really good

VERCEL GOT HACKED

ShinyHunters - the group behind the Ticketmaster breach - is selling Vercel's internal database for $2M on BreachForums

here's why every developer should care:

- they have NPM tokens and GitHub tokens
- Vercel owns Next.js - 6 million weekly downloads
- one malicious push = global supply chain attack
- Vercel confirmed the breach today, April 19
- they literally DMed the hackers on Telegram asking them to stop

rotate your env variables RIGHT NOW

Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs: make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude.

Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable vision model. Available in research preview on the Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, rolling out throughout the day.

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.

You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

[James Tran @james_trn]

Admirable! He's worked tirelessly, now it's time for him to "retire early," haha.

[Marc Lou @marclou]

I overworked myself.

For the past 5 years, I barely took a day off.

I shipped 30 startups, wrote 30,000 tweets, made 70 YouTube videos, and answered thousands of support requests.

The weird part is, it never felt like work. It felt like play. Until recently.

For the first time in years, I’ve struggled to get things done. I don’t want to open my laptop. The things that used to make me happy suddenly feel heavy.

That scares me a bit, because the playful side of work is what got me here. And right now, it feels like I lost it.

So I’m taking a break.

I’ll still do about an hour of maintenance work a day, but the rest of my time will go to real life. I’m training for Hyrox in Korea on May 25, so I’ll put my energy there for now and train 20 hours a week.

I went through a little burnout once before, in 2021. What helped me was going back to basics: training, reading, eating well, and sleeping 8 hours.

It brought the hunger back then.

I trust it will again!

Try to be better every day, good vibe 💪

Claude vibe claude

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Managed Agents: everything you need to build and deploy agents at scale.

It pairs an agent harness tuned for performance with production infrastructure, so you can go from prototype to launch in days.

Now in public beta on the Claude Platform.

[James Tran @james_trn]

@alexcooldev I agree.
Most products are already similar—what really sets them apart is marketing.

[James Tran @james_trn]

@fidexcode Haha, that's true, but I think you have your own personal brand while they don't.

[James Tran @james_trn]

I’d say March felt twice as long as a normal month—looking back, I realize how much experience and knowledge I’ve gained. It almost feels like it took much longer than just a month.

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

AI Agent Don't Sleep 😂

[Kyle Daigle @kdaigle]

Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.)

GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week.

So we're pushing incredibly hard on more CPUs, scaling services, and strengthening GitHub’s core features.

And as a fine purveyor of hand-crafted shit code for many years, I'm not gonna weigh in on that. 🤣

[James Tran @james_trn]

@AlxTurovski After a 5-hour reset, I went back and made a plan with a prompt, and it made me wait another 5 hours.

[James Tran @james_trn]

@TimJayas I only asked one prompt, and for some reason the quota is completely used up. 😕

[James Tran @james_trn]

$20 in claude disappear in 20 mins 😕

@jestonlu As a Vietnamese person, I haven't even fully explored the cuisine of my own country 😂

[Tonino Catapano (tonnoz) @tonnoz]

Here's how I made $20,000 in 10 days

With an app that makes your MacBook moan when you slap it🖥️👋 💨
Yes, really. 2026 is so unhinged.
Your idea might be next, go ship that silly project 🚀

[James Tran @james_trn]

Lately I’ve been going all in on my own ideas and projects.

Most days are just work, work, work — and honestly 24 hours doesn’t even feel enough to keep up with everything (plus all the random ideas that keep popping up).

But the best part? I’m actually enjoying it.

No real results yet, but that feeling alone tells me I’m on the right track — just need to keep pushing and get better.

Hopefully I can keep this fire going for a long time. 💪

[James Tran @james_trn]

@athcanft Absolutely well deserved, I really enjoy the articles you share.
