It's my 39th birthday today ๐Ÿฅณ And I know I'm wiser than last year! I realized that I should have wished for a MacBook with with more than 512GB storage and more than 36GB of RAM last year ๐Ÿคฃ it's slowing me down sooo much... kid you not... I spend around 30min every day juggling RAM or cleaning up disks ๐Ÿ˜† BUT! I'm also much bolder than last year, so: 1) If you're feeling EXTREMELY generous - I'd REALLY love some powerful 128/256GB VRAM machine with 1-2-4TB of storage (DGX Spark or equivalent would also be amazing ๐Ÿ˜) [ or perhaps you know someone who might be... ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ ] 2) I'd take tokens too BILLIONS of tokens ๐Ÿ˜ 3) ... or some cool remote position related to AI Other options: 4) Check my newest project decernimus.com/ and cast a vote - costs you 30s 5) You can also check any of my many other projects ๐Ÿ˜… 6) Be kind and happy today ๐Ÿฅฐ 7) Let me know how can I help YOU! Seriously - I love helping others Love you all! ๐Ÿซ‚

I almost didn't post this. You know the feeling. You spent months building. The product works. You're proud of it. And then... nothing. A few signups. Zero sales. You post, you tweak the homepage, you add one more feature. Still nothing. That was me. I started with zero marketing knowledge. I thought a good product would sell itself. It doesn't. So I started learning. Marketing books, courses, playbooks. On pricing, copy, email, launches, positioning. Over the years I collected 370 of them. I spent a few thousand dollars on it. The exact number? I stopped counting, and I'd rather keep it that way. Slowly it clicked. One business started growing so fast that I had to choose. I quit my day job. But here's the problem. Nobody has the time to read 370 books. Or the budget. It took me years. So I put all of it into one bot. I call him Revenue Rex. Paste your homepage and ask "what's the weakest line, and why?" He tells you what a stranger misses. Ask about your price, he fixes the offer first. Tell him the feature you're about to build, and if it's building instead of selling, he pushes back. It's the marketing friend I wish I had when I started. I was going to sell him. Instead, the first 50 builders get him free. After that, he's members only. Want him? Link in the first reply.

I made a game where your GitHub commits feed a creature. Go quiet, and it gets hungrier. Let it starve, and it eats your run. โ˜ ๏ธ Itโ€™s called Commit Eater: commiteater.com You get one life. No resets. No revives. Pick your repos, ship real commits, level up, and earn coins to spend on discounts for indie products you choose yourself. Itโ€™s live now. Ship code or get eaten.

Will you stop and read thatโ“ Everything comes at a price. We can't have everything. We have to CHOOSE. Choices are the main emanations of WILL. The choices we make depend on all of our combined experience... and shape the our combined future. They also define who we ARE. I would like you to invite you to play a GAME. Game of deep, challenging, morally grey choices. Choices of greater good, or lesser evil. You can hop in or out at any time. You can spend as much or as little time you want. Will you join?

Today is a very special day for me. I had this idea over 5000 days ago. That's almost 14 years. Some of you might not have even been alive. Meaning I've spent a life time putting it off, for a multitude of reasons. Most of which aren't worthy. Much of this idea comes from that very place, someone who puts things off, plans on doing them tomorrow and then the next thing you know over a decade has gone by. My hope is that with Streaks With Friends you can start gaining a little progress and try to build some momentum that can take you into your future. I've spent many years trying to craft what works for me. If I can help one person improve their life it would have all been worth it. The idea has changed some over the years but I never stopped thinking about it. I'd like to personally thank everyone at OpenAI, codex really put it some work on this one. Really all of humanity as a whole who we get to benefit from all the work they have done since the start of it all. No one person hasn't contributed one way or another and it doesn't go unnoticed. This of course would never be possible without you. This is what it's all about. This is a tiny piece of what great things are to come in the future. And that future is going to benefit everyone. I truly believe it. Anyways, here is Streaks With Friends. It's still a work in progress and always will be but you can go and build out any streaks/routine you want. Document helpful and valuable stats. Write whatever is on your mind. And share whatever you want from those metrics. There are template and community based routines and streaks to help you get started. You don't have to share anything you don't want to. Can be completely private or can share with the world. Up to you. I really hope you find some success getting on track and staying consistent. It can and will change you for the better.

So many vibe coding parents out there โค๏ธ I couldn't sit and do nothing. Usually I think about what other SaaS to create but here I felt like something more direct was needed. A weekly letter. From a vibe coding parent. Lost in the jungle. To all the other vibe coding parents on X. Feel free to sign up -> jungle.dad
Where are all the vibe coders that have kids? I feel lonely. ๐Ÿ˜…

No script memorizing. No staring at yourself. No complex editing software. You just talk. Maki finds the story, and gives you a share-ready video. You can start for free!
