Is anyone else building with ChatKit / Agent Builder? Is it terribly slow for you as well? Like ... you send a message, wait 5+ seconds, it realizes a clientFunction call is needed, wait, wait some more ... 😮‍💨

[adam @jurasadam]

I love the direction @chris_mccord takes with @elixirphoenix , embracing LLMs.

Recent example: I just set up a new project, and find an https://t.co/WQFfNUbNo8 included.

So far I've been writing all these instructions manually, and it's a pain. No more :)

Lol @ bitcoin style encryption. Every now and then he says something so stupid that he exposes himself.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

All new XChat is rolling out with encryption, vanishing messages and the ability to send any kind of file. Also, audio/video calling.

This is built on Rust with (Bitcoin style) encryption, whole new architecture.

@CatalinJrj Somehow reminds me of this

[adam @jurasadam]

That’s it, I cancelled the family subscriptions for Spotify and Netflix. From today on, I’m rawdogging life.

[adam @jurasadam]

@CatalinJrj Man, you caught me! I do have YT premium (through a friend’s family subscription). And I also listen to the occasional audiobook on Audible. Cancelling Spotify and Netflix still feels good though 😁

[adam @jurasadam]

I wonder why BDD (Behavior Driven Development) didn’t get more traction in the era of Cursor style LLM coding

[adam @jurasadam]

The surprising reason Elixir + Claude (agent mode) is a great match: Elixir’s error messages are so clear, Claude can just read them, fix the code & iterate.

I just sold my car to extend my runway.

It was my last asset.

Now I have enough savings to keep working on my product for 5 months.

Then I'll be homeless.

And so far I have *checks notes*

$0 MRR.

But I'm not worried.

I don’t look at the job market.

I don’t reply to freelance gigs.

I don’t prepare a plan B.

Because I know I have the resources in me to perform.

I have done it in the past ($4K MRR).

Before a massive burnout forced me to quit.

And it took 2 years of working on myself to come back.

I had to rebuild myself mentally, emotionally, physically, socially.

I did a lot of therapy, journaling, and meditation.

And dug into my past to find what caused me to become so anxious about success.

It was harder to heal this part of myself than to build any other product...

But I eventually did it.

And now I’m stronger than ever.

Relaxed but strong.

And deep inside of me, I know I will make it.

Making a good living from my own products... but without killing my health in the process.

It’s not rocket science.

I just need to ship (and tweet) everyday.

Stay focused and don’t let myself be distracted.

Then I’ll reach my goal.

So everyday I go to bed at 9pm.

Wake up at 5:30am.

Go for a walk.

Come back at 7.

Drink some tea and start shipping.

Between coding sessions, I meditate, walk some more, and write my journal.

It keeps my head clear and burnout at bay.

I know by doing this, I can launch my first product in a few weeks.

Then other products every month.

It won’t bring me outside of the danger zone instantly.

But MRR will slowly increase.

Extending my runway little by little.

Until one day I finally have enough to...

Stop worrying?

But I already have.

Because I noticed living on the edge is where I’m happiest.

I don’t lose myself in endless distractions.

I don’t become dangerously perfectionist.

Looking at my small savings decrease every day forces me into action.

That's where I'm at my best.

And with daily meditation and long walks, I transform anxiety into clarity.

Then I find peace and happiness.

Between my fears and my dreams.

And 7 years after starting my path as an entrepreneur.

I finally know how to enjoy the journey.

So that’s why I’m sure I will succeed.

I already have.

I don’t need anything to change.

I’m where I want to be.

I’ve been through hell and back, and whatever happens is fine by me.

So stay tuned for my first product https://t.co/WaPyqDQtFg.

It's coming soon.

Forged from a heart that learned to love the fire.

[adam @jurasadam]

@CatalinJrj Doing the same as we speak, but in my case it’s Neovim instead of WebStorm. So sad to give up Neovim!

[adam @jurasadam]

@levelsio Or it’s just your confirmation bias. Seeing patterns where there are none.

[adam @jurasadam]

Klarna's CEO in February 2024: "AI can replace 700 jobs!"
1 year later: "We'll be the best at offering humans to speak to!!!"

Meanwhile, countless CEOs rushed to fire their teams based on AI hype.

We never learn, do we?

Petition to rename vibe coding to vibe debugging

@DsMatie How do I find merchants willing to talk? :)

Never mattered more than today

Agency
Don't get stuck in the same loops

Signal v noise
Filter ruthlessly

Health
Fight comfort's damage on body & mind

Positivity
The alternative is a losing game

Curiosity
Yesterday's impossible is today's normal

These are my guardrails.

[adam @jurasadam]

Distinguishing signal from noise has never been as important as it is today.

[adam @jurasadam]

We're living such exciting times with unprecedented opportunities, yet we're in the worst geopolitical mess in decades. Why can't we all get along and build?

@arnie_hacker Where is this? I want to join 😁
