1 month ago, I was out of my "try a startup" runway

I was ready to apply to jobs in the new year, tail between my legs

but this month I FINALLY started seeing results 🥹

I'm finally making enough money to be "ramen profitable"

I can now literally feel the momentum pulling me in. hard to describe, but very exciting

I think my growth will be exponential from here

this year my goal is to:

> make $15k/month
> meet more interesting people (that's why I'll start posting here regularly)
> learn to do a handstand

follow for the journey :)

@martinrue for real life yes, but online uncertainty doesn't go viral unfortunately. bold takes that trigger a divisive comment section do

that's why you wouldn't see that on here

DAY 3 of filming (until it’s not awkward)

Why do vibe coders all seem to work on the same ideas?

Wasn’t vibe coding supposed to unleash the ideas that CS majors would never have come up with?

As a side note, is horizontal video better than vertical for X?

@alinabeing You remembered your password ayyye

Co-organised a fun & delish Lebanese dinner with my friend Alina, who needs to get back on X.

@simonecanciello @Pauline_Cx @robj3d3 @nikitabier The original content is from Brandon William, a YouTuber. You had your unique commentary on it, but the video itself wasn’t yours

[Malika @malika_builds]

@Pauline_Cx @simonecanciello @robj3d3 Maybe because he posted unoriginal content, I know @nikitabier wants to disincentivize that

@robinkunz_ @eglitisX A lot of people say it gets them 5 stars, but I can imagine it also gets them 1 stars. It just average out to higher since many people swear by it. But I don’t think it’s worth it

[Malika @malika_builds]

@robj3d3 @yasser_elsaid_ @levelsio Pickleball is way easier than padel.

I don’t agree with the hate on either though. All movement is good 💪🏼

@hustle_fred I saw a successful app where the only feature is this haha literally just a prompt in the backend😬

[Malika @malika_builds]

my well intentioned, patriotic french brother drew this 😂

happy bastille day to the frenchies on X 🇫🇷🥖

Competition is good 👀

[Claude @claudeai]

We're extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans, as well as keeping Claude Code’s weekly rate limits 50% higher, through July 19.

[Malika @malika_builds]

It’s like saying we should forbid relationships because people get hurt

Instead we should equip children with the skills they need to make competition a good thing.

Teach them to take losses well, have a growth mindset to persist, be a humble winner, understand there are incentives and rewards for doing well and trying, etc

Competition is natural and healthy if fair and if competitors are good sports

Competition can also be designed so that there’s a more level playing field and therefore more enjoyable for players. There’s a reason why men and women’s sports are separated for instance

[Malika @malika_builds]

I thought for sure Hermes (Nous Research) would’ve been a French company.

apparently not

The buildthon was fun though, thanks for hosting @satvikputi

[Satvik Puti @satvikputi]

Hermes Agent Buildathon in Paris sooooo fire 🔥@GrowthX_Club
