What is expensive but no longer worth it?

1) first class domestic
2) airport lounges
3) Starbucks
4) Anything designer - LV, Gucci, or even Loro Piana
5) Michelin-starred restaurants
6) a new iPhone every year
7) DoorDash and UberEats
8) Bottle service
9) Concerts and music festivals
10) Personal trainers

cap is not even close to loom tbh. the pricing model is weird and the thing is not stable at all. it doesn't give you the control that you'd expect from an open source software

I tried it and I wasn't able to record anything so I literally created my own native MacOS app solution from scratch with Cloudflare powered service layer (d1, r2 and workers)

@expo excited for stable expo ui! been using it for a couple of months and it has been great on the iOS side

[Expo @expo]

We just cut the SDK 56 beta 😅

◆ 50%+ faster iOS builds (precompiled XCFrameworks) ◆ 40% faster cold starts on Android
◆ Expo UI is stable
◆ iOS widgets are stable
◆ expo-router rebuilt from scratch
◆ Inline native modules
◆ Brownfield multi-app support

The obvious themes are speed and stability. But there are a lot of other interesting changes (like Expo Router decoupling itself form React Navigation). Get all the nuance and detail in the changelog below ↓

This is exactly how a multi-billion-dollar company is created. Fortune always favours those who solve day-to-day problems.

I don't like the fomo angle of it but there’s definitely something behind this. Take it with a grain of salt

[CyrilXBT @cyrilXBT]

THE JOB MARKET IS ABOUT TO GET WEIRD.

And most people are not prepared for what is coming.

Companies in 2026 are not looking for data scientists.
They are not looking for ML engineers.
They are not looking for people who can build models from scratch.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AI NERDS.

The person who walks into a meeting, sees a 4 hour manual process, and kills it in 10 minutes with Claude Code and LLMs.
The person who refuses to do anything manually twice.
The person who looks at every repetitive task and asks one question:

Why is a human still doing this.

That mindset is worth more right now than a machine learning PhD.
More than five years of Python experience.
More than any certification from any university.

THE NEW VALUABLE SKILL IS NOT TECHNICAL.

It is a refusal to accept inefficiency.

The people who develop that refusal this year will be completely unemployable in the old way and completely irreplaceable in the new one.

Which side of that line are you on.

6 months ago, I moved to San Francisco.
It’s the best place in the world to build, and one of the worst places to stay human. My unfiltered take:

1. SF is both overhyped and underrated

The overhyped part: there are a lot of people with incredible resumes who are deeply unimpressive in real life. They were at the right company, at the right time, in the right market, and got carried by the wave. They made money, got comfortable, and now spend their time “exploring opportunities” over coffee, wasting your time.
The underrated part: the top 1% here is insane. But almost impossible to get. Hiring in SF feels like being a guy on a dating app: everyone you want is out of your league, and everyone in your league wants someone out of theirs. The best people have unmatchable packages, endless options, and are optimizing for maximum impact: labs, frontier companies, or startups raising $100M pre-seed rounds.
If you raised $10M from Tier 1 investors, you’re not hot shit here. You’re a B-player. It’s humbling.

2. There are fewer mission-driven people than I expected

Especially on the application layer. A lot of people are in “secure the bag before it’s too late” mode. And honestly, it gives me the ick.
The real religious builders I’ve met are often in labs, hardware, biotech, deeptech, defense — places where the work is hard enough that you can’t fake obsession.

3. The status game favors builders

This is what SF does better than anywhere else. It rewards obsession. It rewards weirdness. It rewards people who make building their entire personality. Europe punishes that. SF gives it status. If you’ve felt like an outsider your whole life because you care too much, work too much, think too radically, or refuse to be chill about things that matter, this city will make you feel less insane.

4. The market liquidity is absurd

Even if you don’t build a billion-dollar company, if you manage to build a strong product with a great team, someone smart might still acquire you for $ 100M. Yeah I know, it’s not your dream outcome as a founder, but on the days you feel desperate, it helps to keep going.

5. SF does not care about the meaning crisis that’s coming

Anyone paying attention here can feel that something massive is happening with AI. But I’m shocked by how little people talk about the meaning crisis coming next. Everyone wants to talk about AI liberating humanity. Almost no one wants to talk about what happens when work — the thing that gives most people identity, structure, dignity, status, and purpose — starts disappearing. The vacuum will not be peaceful. People are underestimating the chaos that comes from humans suddenly having no idea why they matter. And I really feel like no one cares.

6. Personally, I’ve never been more unhappy

I moved to SF and entered the matrix. I’ve always been intense. I’ve always worked crazy hours. But here, I lost the last parts of myself that were not about building.
I don’t go to events. Most networking events feel like theater for people pretending to be important. The only events worth going to are small, curated dinners with people who are actually alive. I’ve made 0 real friends. I don’t do well with transactionality. I don’t do well with people constantly performing greatness. I don’t do well with rooms where everyone is optimizing and no one is being honest.

So yes, SF is lonely, transactional, delusional, addictive, inspiring, boring, extraordinary, and completely insane.
But it is still the only place to be right now if you’re a founder trying to build the next wave of humanity.

And for now, that’s enough.

Beeper is that kind of product. I can keep up with my chats across platforms. The Beeper MCP is a huge time saver, it sends me updates every 3 hours. Love it

What other products am I missing that could save me a lot of time?

@fkadev Google nerfed it. The quotas are terrible, and it's pretty much unusable

First, some SaaS products will be replaced by software engineers in mid-size and large businesses. Different story for small businesses though. A renaissance for small businesses, which never had the chance to use these technologies before. Then software engineers will be replaced by cheap, custom-enough, and lean SaaS products
