I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there’s a lot going on and you’ve got a lot on your plate. It’s okay to take it easy and prioritize rest and time with family. You can hustle once you’re feeling up for it again.
Angels do exist! Big thanks to Kyle for his very generous patronage. This is day-changing money. My family will eat well tonight.
💸 I'm giving away my X monetization earnings ($43.39) to remind myself to more spend time shipping products rather than tweeting. AND THE WINNER IS... 🥁 🎟️ Entrants: @dissectmarkets @cd_slash_x @Arman_Officialx @ManmohitSandhu @raulizahi @jontetz @theharshith_ @de_mawo…
I have a new project that I'm hoping to "launch" soon. And I've been feeling really guilty lately for not being super focused on just my main project. But then my wife just reminded me that... I'm a tinkerer, and I'm learning new tools. This is part of the process.
One of my favorite things about having 20+ years of developer experience is getting to help others unlock their own ability to build things. Watching that journey is priceless. Congrats, @5harath! First of many.
It's a big day for me - I made my first git pull request and pushed all the code I built on @cursor_ai for @kithbook_com 🥹 Huge shoutout to @zackgilbert for helping me clear some roadblocks 🙏🏼
Today was a weird day. In one desktop, I had cursor + claude working through their tasks that I'd bounce over and unblock them (thanks to @ryancarson's ai-dev-tasks cursor rules). In another, I had cursor + claude helping me tackle a lovable + supabase react integration.

Achievement unlocked: getting heckled by @hnshah on a video call. This might be a good one for that lore meme going around.
I'm having a hard time reconciling that I can't actually send SMS messages to my own phone while in trial mode using @twilio. Like I understand the need for regulation and quality control, but this seems a bit too nickel and dimey when I just want to send to myself.
I know this is probably a skills issue but I can’t help but feel like I’m back at the “more trouble than it’s worth” phase of working with cursor.
"Not good. Removing that block was a mistake. Failures are the same, but accuracy is shot." This is what I get for falling back to gemini from claude 4 sonnet.
Can't get over how utterly useless Cursor w/ Claude 4 Sonnet on the Pro plan has become this past week with their new rate limiting. I get that they were probably hemorrhaging money before, but still...
Is it just me, or is Claude 4 Sonnet in Cursor REALLY struggling today? Forgetting dates, rules, and even project setups. Getting lost and going in completely different directions. What is going on? Did anthropic curb 4 Sonnet thinking?
I believe everyone should decide for themselves. For me, not having kids/family is a real cheat code… In the pointless game, I don’t want to win. Your kids' smiles are comparable to ten product launches. And imagine chatting with someone like you, but smarter and more open…
The first LaunchDay is finally here ☕ I interviewed 16 indie makers 👀 Now we celebrate their launch with huge discounts 🥳 RT + click « unlock deals » to get them 🤝. $3,862 value, until Sunday only ⏳ itslaunchday.com
I've been programming for 36 years. I founded several companies, built many products. Claude Code now does 95% of my work and speeds me up by a factor of 2-5x. If you're an experienced dev and you're not there... you are falling behind. Here's how I use it, and you can too.…
