Last time it was football. This time it’s also football.

You know which one is the real one 😏

@Ui_meesha thanksss 🙌🏻

@qyphor @esmabuilds @jacobrodri_ Chef’s special coming soon 😎

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@qyphor @esmabuilds @jacobrodri_ Honestly? It’s in my hands now 😄

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@akshaj_kasliwal a clear rejection you can fix. a silent removal after approval just leaves you guessing 😬

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

Approved on Nov 9, removed on Nov 11 for the exact issue you already fixed. This is the kind of review chaos that kills small teams momentum.

Hope someone at Google Play sees this 🙏

[Esma @esmabuilds]

What the hell is that now?

Google approved our app 2 days ago and today they removed it

A week ago, they rejected one of our updates by saying "there's a paywall in your app and we can't test it - please provide sign-in details."

Fair enough. We added the login details and resubmitted on November 9.

They approved it immidiately and the app went live.

And today we got a notice: "the app is removed". The reason? They can't access the app. What??

The login details are still right there in the console, and nothing changed.

I hate Apple sometimes but hate google play more.

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@esmabuilds @jacobrodri_ Deal 😎

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@esmabuilds @jacobrodri_ 37 screens? Give me a weekend and Fable 5.2 😄

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@RichardsonDx you're right :)

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

Grouping founders by revenue bracket is such a clean idea. Peers at the same stage have the most useful advice, and the locked tiers give you something to chase.

[Marc Lou @marclou]

https://t.co/LxvaHueOFG is now on iOS 🎉

It took:

- 4 hours for my agent to build it
- 336 hours for Apple to review it

You can now chat with founders making the same revenue:

PS. I regret not naming this app iMRR.

Worth reading if you teach anyone anything. "Models today are the worst they’ll ever be" should be on every classroom wall.

[Lee Robinson @leerob]

I got this cold email today about what I'd teach kids interested in web development and programming. I figured I'd share my full response here in case it helps others:

—

Learning to create software today is a glass half full / half empty situation. You can be optimistic or pessimistic.

It is strange and transformative that we no longer write most code by hand. AI has completely changed how software is built. I expect this to change even more dramatically in the coming years, as entirely new programming languages¹ are invented² and adopted. One person might look at this and be pessimistic: what will these computer scientists and programmers do, as AI continues to become superhuman in its intelligence?

But the wiser of the bunch will realize there is much to be optimistic about. Those with the agency³ to create and explore their wildest ideas have unlimited power. There has quite frankly never been a better time in the history of humanity to have good ideas⁴. So my advice for those building at summer camps is simple. You have to hone and craft your "idea machine". You are going to have lots of bad ideas, but you'll get better at coming up with ideas and refining your taste so you can recognize and act on great ideas sooner. People at summer camps will spend less time reading CS tutorials and more time thinking about the fun or interesting things they want to exist in the world.

My favorite way of teaching and getting people interested in software is to first help them build something they are excited about. When they hit roadblocks that require a deeper understanding of a CS concept or something related to web development, only then do we take the time to explain what it is and how it solves their problem. Starting this way, at least for me, seems to get people hooked faster than needing hours and hours of prereqs. There's more desire to spend time learning the fundamentals after having the "aha!" moment. It's worth checking out some skills⁵ designed to help encode the best practices for teaching and then plop that into a coding agent or your AI tool of choice and give it a task: teach me about how databases work (or similar). It's pretty great.

It's also worth remembering that AI models today are the worst they will ever be. You need to learn how to be even more ambitious⁶ with what you ask them.

Good luck!

@V_Kurbatov "make it nicer" is officially the worst prompt in history.

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@guillemcraft $111 to find out which of 7 hooks works in the US is a cheap lesson. curious which one wins, post the results.

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@zaynmcps keeping figma and code in sync is still the tricky part imo

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@RayFernando1337 but what happens when something breaks? how do u debug it?

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@SebastianRoehl @HabitKit now let claude handle the app store reviews too lol

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@heyozi haha ty. we should build this 👀

[Serhan Baydı @serhandesign]

@ekbot_ haha that's the hardest part of the whole flow 😭
