I turned 25 today! 😇🎂

To celebrate, I spent the day redesigning my personal site into a fully interactive digital world

It’s a sneak peek into the sectors of my life that I want to focus on going into 2026:

🕌 Faith
💪 Health
💻 Work
📚 Knowledge

Forever a WIP, yet I invite you to explore the map and share your thoughts!

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

Finally… got the @wahabshaikh handle! 🥳

First thing I did after getting the unified X subscription

Same username across X, LinkedIn and GitHub 😁

poteto poteto poteto (🤞) feature req for grok bot:

allow it to read its own usage limits so i can cap it for heavy tasks. for example: “stop if you exceed 50% of your usage limits”

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

@liaujianjie Oh wow, thanks for this!

Will try it out

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

Claude seems to design better when given only a single reference app via Mobbin.

Everytime I’ve asked it to do its own research, the results have been pretty boring.

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

I just love their design philosophy — simple and minimal

> The landing page is just one hero section that effectively communicates the value they provide. Single call to action. No animations or decorations.

> Zero onboarding friction. A single text, and you’re in!

> You can access it from anywhere with the tools that come pre-installed (email, message, or whatsapp). No additional app to download.

> A minimal dashboard that you seldom require to visit.

And ofcourse the core product is just wonderful. What else can I say about it?!

A work of art, indeed!

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

I’ve so many questions regarding Instinct:

> Why is it so good?
> How is it free?!
> What models do they use?
> How is it free?!
> Why do they have zero social presence?
> How is it free?!
> Who are the (awesome) people behind it?

@nichochar You forgot the wallet

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

@NIftek @KevinBlumson signing up for the launch already :)

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

@alexandr_wang I’m not even getting late access to old muse features 😭

(account based in India)

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

I can’t wait for Meta’s @Muse to launch in India. Switching over the moment it arrives.

I love Grok @bot, but the usage quota consumption is getting ridiculous. So difficult to last a week on the Pro+ ($60/mo) plan.

Even more ridiculous is @cursor_ai’s quota. Shared a thread earlier on how it consumed 61% of third party models quota for just setting up an environment (which btw they say is free to set up). No response from the support whatsoever. And even the first party quota is filling up really fast. I’m over 50% in just 3-4 days. I use Grok 4.7 High (not even fast mode).

And all of this when I have Codex and Claude Code pro subscriptions on the side. So it doesn’t even bear 100% of the load.

Can’t believe coding used to be free. :’)

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

Opus 5.5 + Mobbin will make you a design engineer

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

claude code feels so much better with opus 5.5 🤗

i cancelled my sub, but resubscribed now. hope they don't nerf it anytime soon.

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

@cursor_ai Ended up consuming 61% just for this 😭😭😭

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

i just clicked set up environment for a new project and @cursor_ai consumed 25% of 3rd party models quota already 🙃 its still in progress so i'm sure its gonna consume even more.

there is no way you could select a model for that task, it just auto selects.

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

@cursor_ai seems like it is not???

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

@izuddinhelmi Ma Sha Allah, this is sooo good!

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

@jyotsnavenk grok bot is the new cms :D

dig the design, great work! 🙌🏼

A personal website should feel like you’ve briefly left the rest of the internet

[Wahab Shaikh @wahabshaikh]

wish @cursor_ai grok and composer quota were on rolling basis (5h and weekly limits) like claude code and codex.

burnt through the $60 plan super quick and now i'm stuck with more than half a month remaining 😭😭
