This edit is nuts, So excited for this convo to come out. Thanks for having me @designertom_

Over the last two months, I’ve spent an hour a day talking to the most talented builders and designers in the industry. I’m trying to rediscover my love for the game as I build my new company. I decided to turn these conversations into a visual podcast called State of Play. I…

I know I’m probably being annoying with these posts already, but I just can’t help it, contra is on fire this month maaaaan

If you hate missing out on projects and want to combine inbound leads with proactive outreach on X, you may love what @contra just released.

Ok what? @contra snapped with this one. IndyAI scans your extended networks on LinkedIn and X and surfaces warm leads for you 🤯

Absolute bonkers feature. TOP use of AI in a product. @contra team feels unreal sometimes of how they get these ideas haha 💛

end the week with another lead from @contra 🏄🏻‍♂️

😍 new feature coming soon

Solo founders are underestimated. We’re changing that. In May we launched the Solo Founders Program (<1% acceptance rate) for six founders to build together in SF. 60 days in: millions raised, 35k GitHub stars, rapid growth. Join us: Fall 2025 applications close soon.

I used to introduce my best friend as the co-founder of Instagram at parties. People legit treated him differently. Never got a thank you

Just got a direct lead from contra, someone was interested in working with me. Chatted for a bit and the client is closed. @contra LFG

I love vibe coding as much as the next person, but I've learned my lesson many times, that sometimes (often) to get the job done right, you need an expert. Lucky for me, I have a slew of experts a Slack message away (cough @contra engineers cough). But the next best thing?…

Replit Figma importer is massively underrated. You need to try it yourself to see the magic.

Upwork is so 2005. IMO @contra is how people will hire contractors moving forward. And this is just one example of why I'm bullish on this team 👇

It’s getting so easy to create complex UI components with @framer and resources like @vibeframer

I designed my whole house with @splinetool

we’re building the human in the loop layer for the tools of the future connecting users with the right experts at the exact moment that matters super excited to kick this off with @Replit 🚀

I remember using @Replit back in the day when I was learning to code feels very 💫 full circle 💫 to partner with them now
