This is the way

[Will @athcanft]

i now have 8 revenue streams:

1. glowly app
2. overlo app
3. consulting
4. x payouts
5. sponsorships
6. swaptok
7. clip factory
8. jarvx

the only thing is that a lot of these depend on my X account so if that dies im cooked

Fun fact:

@JohnJumperSci and @demishassabis won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry together.

Yet the AI race pushed them onto separate paths.

One of the most fascinating side effects of competition: today’s collaborators can become tomorrow’s rivals.

[John Jumper @JohnJumperSci]

A bit of news: After nearly 9 years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic (after taking some time to recharge). I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing my PhD, and the entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science. GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.

@pgbpgbpgbpgbpgb I started the same way. You ll reach there soon

The build-in-public feed is full of revenue screenshots and zero churn screenshots. Who's actually going to post their churn rate this week?

[div | building apps @pixelcoder08]

@alexandresauv13 Thats the challenge

[div | building apps @pixelcoder08]

Everyone wants to be an indie hacker until support tickets don't stop for a creative weekend. What's the part of solo dev nobody warned you about?

[div | building apps @pixelcoder08]

@KevinFengX Already following you

[div | building apps @pixelcoder08]

Testing GLM 5.2 with Codex CLI on my latest build today.
Curious if it's actually VFM vs the usual suspects (Claude/GPT) or just hype.
Will report back with real numbers, not vibes.
If you've run it already worth the switch or nah?

[div | building apps @pixelcoder08]

Your free tier isn't generous, it's a confession you don't believe people will pay. What's actually stopping you from charging more?

[div | building apps @pixelcoder08]

Solo devs will debate tech stack for 3 days and pick a launch channel in 10 minutes. Why do we do this to ourselves?
