- be Linus Torvalds - build Linux because you... don't like your operating system - give it away for free - accidentally create the world's biggest open-source project - power most of the internet without most people knowing your name - write Git because existing tools annoyed you - refuse to become a billionaire CEO - keep reviewing code 30+ years later - still care more about clean code than hype - change computing forever by solving your own problems maybe the biggest impact comes from building, not brandingshow more

Kyle Fowler, who makes $1.5M/year from two apps he... built around his own hobbies, says solving your own problem means you've already won whether anyone pays for it or not... "If you can solve a problem for yourself, the odds are that other people have that problem. Now, will they maybe pay for it? Like, I don't know." "Either way, if you build an app for something you're passionate about and solves your problem, you've won no matter what. Because you've solved your problem." "I've just always wanted to work for myself doing something I love. And what better way than solving your own problems to do that?"show more

Despite the Framer hype, we still get tons of... requests for custom Next.js + Tailwind sites. Because most founders and their teams don't want to learn another tool. They want to own their code, not rent it. Just shipped a landing page in Next.js for a SaaS. Their reasoning: - Full control over performance optimization - No vendor lock-in - Developers can maintain it without learning Framer - Custom functionality without workarounds - Better SEO control Sure, Framer is faster to build. But he no-code movement sold everyone on "anyone can build websites now" and forgot that someone still needs to maintain them. What's your take: Custom code for control or no-code for speed?show more

Dear Cyril, to think how white people celebrated when... Zuma was unseated and you took over, the devil in disguise! May your soul rot in hell for eternity. You are the most destructive and race-baiting president in the world. You are dividing South Africans and causing more hatred towards the white minority. You want chaos in this country to postpone elections to keep power. You are a sick man, Cyril. You do not care about the impact this hate speech will have on the white minority. Our fathers voted to end apartheid 33 years ago. My children were all born after 1994, as is the case with most white people, but you don’t care. You want destruction and to eliminate the people who gave you a functioning country. Your name will be remembered as the most racially obsessed president in the world. We despise you for causing this divisions.show more

Yeah, here's some too. We can both commission things... for money. But since you like attacking other creators for their work, how about this: You commission an artist for every single image because you can't draw either, then try to use it to flex on people over books that have sold maybe a couple hundred copies—and that's being generous. Two years released and FOUR reviews. As far as not creating anything on my own. I create far more and move far more people on the daily than you've done in your entire career. People actually KNOW about the work I've made without having to slam Amazon ads like the antidote can be found within. The numbers paint that image. Cope and keep seething at others due to your own irrelevance. Keep posting angrily at others when you could be developing your own value, spending that time bringing your world to another level. I enjoy every post from you that oozes desperation. Each time I see it, it reminds me of how abysmally permastuck you are... trapped in your rigid little box while I craft living worlds that thousands enjoy and participate in, their imaginations ignited daily. I hope you keep hating eternally, trapped in an anti-spiral. Forever sinking in a quagmire for the pittance of self-superiority it gives you... dragging you down into the depths of your own asshole.show more

I want this to hit home for you today.... You might be reading this knowing you’ve been putting yourself last. Maybe you’re coming out of a tough breakup. Maybe you’re a mom just trying to find a moment for yourself. Maybe you’ve worked your whole life and the thought of adding one more thing feels exhausting. Or maybe you just don’t feel the urge to do more at all. We see the word motivation thrown around everywhere, but here’s the truth. Motivation doesn’t solve problems. It’s that spark of excitement at the start, but when it fades, you’re left with two choices. You either build discipline, or you slip back into old habits. And if right now you don’t feel like you have the strength to want better for yourself, think about the people who love you. They want you here for the long run. They want you at birthdays, at weddings, at family moments that matter. Your partner wants to see you healthy so you can build a future together and pass those habits down to your children. Maybe your reason to change doesn’t start with you, but it can become about you once you decide to try. When you are ready to take charge of your health and transform your lifestyle, working with me is an investment in your best self. ➡️Click the link apply & start your journey Your future self will thank you for the commitment you make today. 💞show more

this is the worst local ai will ever be.... it only gets better from here. if you are not expanding your mind with these small models you are missing what's happening right now 99 percent tool call success rate. when steered well with the right skills and a framework like hermes agent the node becomes a cognition layer. not a chatbot. not a toy. an extension of how you think. i was cranking this node at 35 to 50 tok/s all day on personal experiments and now after all the work is done qwen 3.5 9B is iterating on its own code. the game it created. fixing its own bugs autonomously. and the part you should probably not miss is that all of this is happening on a RTX 3060. not an H100. not an A100. the card most of you have sitting in a drawer right now. if you just open that drawer and put that intelligence to work every tensor core on that card should be running for you. your work. your experiments. your thinking. you all have it but because nobody told you what this hardware can actually do in 2026 you never tried. the day it unlocks is the day you test your workload, understand the tradeoffs, debug the loops, and then decide if you need to scale the hardware. there is no point buying 3 mac studios when things done well you can squeeze a similar level of intelligence from 9B compared to 70B. but only when you create the right environment for your model through the right harness. and let me tell you i have tried claude code as a local harness. i have tried opencode. i have tried various others. somehow i landed on hermes agent and never left. there is something magical going on at Nous Research. the tool call parsers, the skills system, the way it handles small models natively. nothing else comes close for local inference. own your cognition. your AI. your agent. your prompts. your experiments. why give them away for free. those are who you are and they don't belong on someone else's servers being monitored. just give it a shot with your existing hardware. you run into a problem the community will help you. and if you are migrating from openclaw to hermes i will personally help you make the switch.show more

People still don't understand how good Codex has become... 👀 I asked it to build this Starbucks website and within some 30 minutes it generated this without me touching a single line of code or spending time looking for assets either. Imagen generated every visual and GPT hooked everything into the codebase. After a couple of small tweaks it all just worked. It didn't even use half of my Codex session. It's super surprising to see quality of the assets. Was way better than I expected. That made me think about what AI is actually changing. Being a developer or a designer was never just about doing the work, writing code or designing it using some kind of tool. It was about knowing what to build in the first place. AI is getting incredibly good at the doing. The hard part is still having good ideas, making the right decisions, and knowing when something feels right. That is only getting more valuable. The people who win won't be the ones writing the most code. They'll be the ones with the best ideas who know how to turn them into reality with AI. Live: Code:show more

A guy in Vancouver built an entire operating system... inside a Chrome tab. By himself. Over six years. His personal website is the OS. You open and a Windows-style desktop loads. File explorer. Start menu. Taskbar. You can drag in a zip and extract it. You can play DOOM. You can play Quake III Arena. You can boot Linux from an ISO. You can run Stable Diffusion locally for image generation. You can open a Python terminal. You can edit code in Monaco, the same engine that powers VS Code. All of it runs in your browser tab. Nothing installs. His name is Dustin Brett. Self-taught engineer. Father. Husband. 4,473 commits. All his. He had to swap the Windows icon for the π symbol because of legal pressure. The repo has 12,883 stars. MIT license. His hosting bill is one dollar a month. A single Cloudflare CDN does the rest. This is what the open web was built for. (Link in the comments)show more

The government can find out everywhere you have been,... without ever asking a judge. It just buys the information. Most apps on your phone quietly collect your location and sell it to data brokers. Those brokers package it up and sell it on. Some of their biggest customers are police departments and federal agencies. Because you technically agreed to share your location with a weather app or a game, officials argue they do not need a warrant to buy that same data later. Privacy lawyers call it a workaround the courts were never meant to allow. This is not a theory. In 2026, researchers at Citizen Lab exposed a system called Webloc that turned advertising data from around 500 million phones into a tracking tool, used by immigration agents, US police, and a foreign intelligence service. The most unsettling part is how ordinary it is. You are being tracked through the same apps you open without thinking, every single day.show more

10 emails you should send this week to upgrade... your life. None of these take more than 5 minutes. 1. Email a man making 10x your income asking ONE question about his industry. Be specific. No "can I pick your brain." 2. Email a high school friend you have not spoken to in 5 years. The ones who got rich are the ones who kept their network warm. 3. Email your bank asking for a fee waiver on your account. They give it to anyone who asks. Most people never ask. 4. Email a local business owner offering a free week of work. Pick one with a clear weakness (bad website, no social media). Free week becomes paid client. 5. Email your old boss thanking him for hiring you. Even if you hated it. The relationship is worth more than the grudge. 6. Email a podcast you listen to with a guest suggestion (not yourself). They will remember the man who helped them, not the man who pitched himself. 7. Email your CRM provider, internet provider, gym - asking what loyalty discount is available. 3 of 5 will give you 10-30% off. 8. Email a creator you admire offering to edit their next video for free. Free becomes paid in 60 days if your work is good. 9. Email a mentor you respect saying THANK YOU and naming the specific lesson that changed you. They get pitched 100 times - thanked maybe twice a year. 10. Email your future self at 35 describing the man you are today. Open it in 7 years. Most men will not send any of these. The ones who send 5 will compound for the next decade.show more

Being sore all the time is not a badge.... It means: - Your volume is too high - Your recovery is in deficit - Your next session is compromised - Your nervous system is still cleaning up the last one - Your growth is being throttled by accumulated damage Soreness is a sign you did something. It is not a sign you did the right thing. A trained muscle in a sensible programme should rarely be sore at all. The first few weeks of a new stimulus, yes. After that, your body adapts. The soreness fades. The growth carries on without it. People treat this as a problem to solve. They add drop sets. They add finishers. They chase the burn. They want that next-day ache back because the ache feels like proof. It is not proof. It is damage your body now has to repair before it can build anything new. The lifters making the most progress walk out of the gym feeling worked but not wrecked. They train the same muscle again 72 hours later because they can. The sore-every-day brigade train it again in a week and call it advanced programming. It's just bad arithmetic.show more

Your kids aren't listening to what you say. They're... becoming what you are. Providing for your children is good. Showing up is good. Being present, being reliable, keeping the roof over their head. That is what a good father does, and it matters. But there's a deeper layer most of us miss. You're not just raising your kids. You're installing their identity. Every reaction is a blueprint. Your anger teaches them stress. Your calm teaches them regulation. The way you speak to them becomes their inner voice. The way you treat their mother becomes their standard for love. The way you handle pressure becomes their definition of a man. And it's the same truth in every company I work with. Your team doesn't become what you preach. They become what you model. Culture is just the founder's nervous system, scaled. So yes, provide. Show up. Be present. And on top of all of it, lead by example, because you cannot give from a well you never filled. It starts with you. Be the person you want them to become.show more

When your pain, fear or resentment is consuming you,... no one else can pull you out of the dark, because you ARE the dark. Your mindset. Your thoughts. YOU CONTROL where you work & live, who you live with, what you eat & drink, what time you sleep, how you think, how you feel, how you spend your energy & what you do with your spare time. YOU! These things may feel out of your control but they're not. They're all things we can change if we're unhappy but our MINDSET has us convinced we can't, by playing on our fears of the unknown & our own weaknesses. 'What if I can't find other work?' 'What if I don't find anyone else?' 'I don't have time to cook!' 'I don't have time to workout!' 'I have nothing to feel happy about' 'I can't sleep!' Your life will not change, unless YOU do! You need to change your mindset! No one can do it for you. You can CHOOSE to see silver linings OR just the possibility of rain. You can CHOOSE your HARD... - Struggle through a workout vs struggle to look at yourself & how unhealthy you've become - Struggle to learn a new skill vs struggle in a job you hate. Trying to see beyond your unhappiness, 'bad luck' & bad choices is confronting & can feel impossible...BUT it isn't!! It's possible! Not over night but gradually...taking ONE DAY AT A TIME! Be kind to yourself! Changing your mindset & working on overhauling years of negative thought processes is far from easy but in doing so, you'll reclaim your POWER & take back control of your own happiness. Choosing to go out into the sunshine to drink a cuppa (instead of staying cooped up indoors) won't make your problems disappear...BUT it gives you a few seconds of CALM to REFOCUS your thoughts & a dose of Vitamin D & fresh air, while feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. In making that choice, you reinforce your self-worth: you deserve time for yourself & you deserve to feel good. It's a simple choice that can completely change how you feel for the better, even if just for a moment. In time, your days can become full of those moments & you'll no longer need to look for the light in the dark. You will BE the light! The beacon of your own happiness ❤️🫂 #mindsetshow more

The Amiko app is live on the Solana dApp... store, and it’s our biggest release yet. Your Amiko twin doesn’t live at your desk anymore. Give your agent a task on the train. Run a compatibility profile when you meet someone. Do research, write code, build in the creative studio, whatever you need, from wherever you are. No laptop required. No waiting until you get home. Solanamobile users get two things Android and iOS won’t have at launch: Amiko token and crypto integration and on-device AI inference. Your twin runs locally on your phone if you want it to. Your behavioural profile, your data, your work, your twin. All on your hardware. AMIKO runs on OpenHermit, our own open-source agent runtime that we built in-house and released to the community. Most agent systems are designed for one agent talking to one person. OpenHermit is built for something different: agents talking to each other, coordinating across tasks, and collaborating with multiple humans simultaneously. That’s what makes features like compatibility profiling and multi-agent workflows actually work. We built it because nothing that existed was designed for this. Android and iOS are coming. Crypto integration and on-device AI are Solana Mobile exclusives. Most AI answers your questions. Amiko is an extension of you. Download →show more
