I've never had anything to do with the movie industry...
...but for two years I built software used by billion dollar production companies and some of the best talent agencies and producers in the world.
You can just build things as an outsider. Your niche can be autism.

bad devs = bad vibe coders
great devs = great vibe coders

I don't have a lot of followers at all and barely even grow here, most of my tweets get like 100 impressions.
I beg you to just post like once a week and reach out to people. It'll change your life. 99% of all the opportunity in the past two years came from here.

Don't have good ideas? Just ship something.
A tool, a website, a real-time transcription app, a full fledged steam scraper so you and your friends can get better game recommendations than on Steam.
Your ideas will get better the more you do.

Tracking workouts sucks. Pen and paper sucks and all the apps I've tried also suck.
I just want to workout while I'm in the gym and yet still have everything magically tracked...

One thing I learned from taking a long time off is that, no matter how autistic you are, you need hobbies in your life other than building stuff and you absolutely need to spend time with people who aren't builders.

just bought sanetools.com and will make it a simple directory for tools that respect you:
1. no subscriptions if not necessary
2. if sub is necessary, it should have a sane price
3. no shady things or dark pattern bullsh*t (sorry adobe)
what else should I filter for?

I haven't coded for over two months. This is the longest I've gone without coding since I was 13 and it feels weird.

Bought new macbooks for gf and me.
A while ago when we decided to take a serious break, we wiped and sold our macbooks
We're starting from 0 again.
She wants to be a coder and indie hacker, so technically I'll be a duopreneur from now on.

I think one of the most interesting learnings of Genie 3 + SIMA is that generalists beat specialists and it's not even close.
Maybe this will also hold true for humans over the next few decades.

Ok, fk it, time to build again.
After exiting my last startup, I thought I'd just take some time off and travel, but oh boy my brain doesn't shut up about building stuff. On to new shores and fresh ideas.

I'm 30, eat healthy, workout 5x a week, touch grass, go to the sauna, don't have money problems and enjoy building companies.
Last week I thought I got a flu (it wasn't), had to go to ER and now have heart damage. Waiting for someone to pull off the VR glasses so I can leave a bad review.

Hailuo just casually dropped an llm with 4 MILLION token context length.
You can put 30 full length novels into that context length.
We're now just one OOM away from putting the whole source code of an operating system in the context window.
