Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage."

Replit CEO Amjad Masad:

"You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner."

"If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this."

"Coders get lost in the details."

"Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things."

"I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur."

> What’s become clear: building software still demands discipline, but the discipline shows up more in the scaffolding rather than the code. The tooling, abstractions, and feedback loops that keep the codebase coherent are increasingly important.

I think we are witnessing the biggest explosion in software creation in history.

New website creation is up 40% year on year. New iOS apps are up nearly 50%. GitHub code pushes in the US jumped 35% and in the UK around 30%.

All of these metrics were flat for years before late 2024. The entire graph looks like a hockey stick.

You no longer need a six month runway and a dev team to ship something real.

We see this in our metrics as well!

People who never wrote a line of code are building and launching apps.

The barrier to building software just disappeared.

What matters now is knowing what to build and the taste to build it right.

@DonnyWals Good bait though 🎣

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

There used to be two playbooks for commercial software:
a) be first to market
b) make the best product

Being first was rarely important, yet so many software companies operate this way. “We must ship by this time next month or we’ll lose.” A shallow way to build, in my opinion.

Now with AI tools having gone from “lol nice JavaScript try again” in Jan 2025 to “damn, nice C program, take the wheel” in Jan 2026, there’s only one playbook that remains: make the best product. Now anyone can “compete” with you if being first is your differentiator.

So don’t make a hundred products or a hundred features quickly just because you can. Instead leverage this “huge cheap skilled workforce” you now have to build something really good, even if it takes time.

You can’t blame timelines for janky scrolling or broken text editing anymore.

Build something that’s meaningfully different, something that you can be proud of a decade from now

@steipete @openclaw Most importantly you created a culture 🫶

[Joan Disho @joandisho]

It created the service, the store, updated the UI, and even modified the .plist with the right keys and values. A fully working solution in one shot.
