A lot of people's minds are getting warped by fake/juiced MRR numbers on here. So they think they "failed" and give up too early. It took me 5 months and 7 days to get to $1k MRR for Rephonic. It's now dramatically beyond that and by far my most successful endeavour. Also that

I came very close to being in a car crash this week. I've had nightmares about it. ๐จ TL;DR when you rent a car: check the floor mat in the driver's seat! I rented a brand new 2025 VW Touareg in Morocco. By itself a nice comfortable SUV for a long road trip. On the first day

Very much looking forward to my flight next week that will be transiting this exact airspace ๐ฌ

On a quick stop during the trip I told Claude Code (via Wispr Flow) that I want to be able to send voice notes to the bot. It checked the CPU/memory available, picked a suitable model and installed faster-whisper. Worked first time ๐ฎ

I'm on a road trip around Morocco ๐ฒ๐ฆ and I wanted to see if I could make a little Telegram bot entirely from my phone. Wispr Flow โ Blink (iOS ssh client) โ mosh (for resilience to losing signal) โ Claude Code in YOLO mode on a Hetzner server This scratches an itch for me as

This fixed one of my only annoyances with Chrome. I always want new tabs to open at the end of the tabs list. https://t.co/bAvAl07PXi

Working on a nicer Telegram bot for @hackanetwork that lets you set a profile and shows how busy each meetup is on the site. (WIP, fake data for now)

Claude Code + Opus 4.5 is just insanely good I'm fixing some difficult bugs in my gf's Telegram bot. I asked it to simulate a user so that we can debug more easily. It mocked up an entire fake server mimicking the Telegram API as a Python script and ran it in the background ๐ฎ

I think we need a name for this. Codegen psychosis? When your sub-agents have their own sub-agents, thatโs when youโve crossed the threshold
Running a tight group of "hyper engineers" who spend $2,000-$20,000 per month on personal codegen. Usually clearing >10B tokens per year. (Some real lunatics) We share a bunch of spending + managemrnt hacks If you feel like this is you, shoot me a DM of your spend receipts

Accidental happy discovery with Revolutโs global eSIM: it seems to switch to the strongest network that has coverage as you move around For the first time ever my phone actually works on train journeys around the UK (Fun fact the UK has the worst phone coverage in the G7!)

Now works with AIS too (marine traffic). The furthest vessel is this giant container ship. I can't listen to both frequencies at the same time though without two SDR dongles. Maybe I can multiplex somehow ๐ค Thanks @JamesIvings for the idea

Ok now I configured it to continuously dump live ADS-B messages to a folder as JSON. Then I gave that to Claude Code (Opus 4.5) with my Mapbox API key and within 1 minute it made this live map :)
