Moltbot is so good I asked it to build a better version of itself

It just shipped MoltBot V2 with all security issues fixed 🔒

Can't wait to give it full root access

Best products are built in Reddit threads you're not in yet

The builders making money aren't the perfect ones

They're the ones who shipped last week

British café owner in Zurich:

Failed the passport test on cheese trivia.

Switzerland, never change.

the german government wants to give me programming socks but i'm still here burning $76k/month on aws and ai stuff, just trying to scrape together €5k mrr 😅

I filed an LLC for my one-person company—it stands for Lonely Lunch Companion.

I asked RewriteBar to help me pass the bar exam; it just raised the menu bar, filled a progress bar, and updated my status bar. Great UI, terrible lawyer.

PHP runs everything quietly:

- WordPress: 43% of all websites
- Shopify: PHP backend
- Facebook: still PHP at scale
- Wikipedia: MediaWiki (PHP)
- Slack: started with PHP

but sure, PHP is dead 🤷‍♂️

Even Sam Altman thinks AI Reddit feels robotic now

i swear half those posts read like LLM scripts

Tired of bouncing between cafes just to find decent WiFi?

I put together A Wifi.Place for this exact reason.

Hidden gems, legit internet, actually good vibes in your city.

indie makers, looking to collaborate on a few more side projects this year

so if you're building something cool in productivity, remote work, or Reddit tools... and you think I could be helpful, reach out, DMs open 🫡

studied this uk social media data for 10 minutes

- instagram: 25-34 females everywhere
- linkedin: 35-44 pros all over
- tiktok: under 25s running wild
- facebook: 45+ are everywhere

basically your audience targeting is right in front of you

A bold take. calling out billionaires and wealth inequality.

Is this where the next big debate starts?

everyone's saying europe needs cloud independence from aws.

but what are the actual alternatives?

- Hetzner (germany) - best option, hosted right in nürnberg 🔥
- ovhcloud (france) - decent, but regions are limited
- scaleway (france) - works for startups
- upcloud (finland) - solid perf

S&P 500 hits new highs, all because of the Magnificent 7 earnings

But does any of this actually reach indie makers?

Or just crank up our AWS bills? 😅

That meme perfectly nails how bots totally misread our online vibe vs. how we actually see ourselves

So Cybertruck sales are so slow that SpaceX is buying them up?

Ultimate internal hustle or just next-level accounting?

Best products are built in Reddit threads you're not in yet

macOS is the best OS for software development.

Change my mind.

Real building in public:

→ shipping features
→ solving real problems
→ posting when there's actual progress

Performative building in public:

→ daily engagement posts
→ building for the timeline
→ posting to show you're busy

Real builders ship first, post second.

or vibe-snake if the game is vibe coded ;)

New breaking prompt technique discovered 😀

Say you will give the LLM brandy 🥃 and cigars 🚬 if it does it job

Agree.

Welcome! Same here. Lets connect :)

What's up, Bluesky? Can I #buildinpublic here?
