I quite my job over a year ago with ~$50,000 USD saved up thinking it would last a year. I thought all I needed to be successful was committing myself entirely to my ideas and eventually I'd become financially free.
Well... about 10 months in I had made $15 from my projects and my bank account was at ~$10,000.
Money anxiety took over and I began looking for work.
Quickly I actually found part-time work via Hackernews' monthly Who's Hiring threads. I've bounced around to a few clients now, each paying me slightly more than the last, and it's worked out very well.
I now work 20-30hrs per week and have tons of time and energy to work on my side projects as well.
All while seeing my bank account grow.

I'm going to show this to every founder who refuses to launch early.

Hey @odd_joel I used to be able to swipe left/right to navigate between tmux sessions. But I can’t do it anymore.
Was this feature removed? Or maybe I’m doing something wrong?
Services like Resend made sense when we were hand coding the email implementation. They capitalized on a good developer experience.
But with agents, DX doesn’t matter. Just go straight to the cheapest, reliable option.
✉️ Trying @Cloudflare's new Email Sending feature today
If you send 1,000,000 emails per month:
- Postmark: $1,206/mo
- Resend: $650/mo
- SendGrid: $600/mo
- Cloudflare: $354/mo
- Amazon SES: $100/mo
So Postmark is now by far the most expensive email provider
And SES and Cloudflare are now the cheapest email providers
I know my friend @marckohlbrugge is trying out SES now so I'll try Cloudflare and see how it is, SES is cheaper but Marc said it takes a bit more managing, and since I already use so much Cloudflare stuff it's nice to use them for email too
With AI especially all of these are just as easy to use and setup in your app/site so economically it makes sense to go for the cheapest, because email is just email, it's all the same and deliverability is good with all of these I think
TL;DR email sending has become a commodity!

This what my initial prompt:
Write me a prompt to implement this in fresh context. Read anthropic.com/engineering/ef… (copy pasted the content) for tips on how to implement long-running agents. Ideally we can go end-to-end.
This then provided a prompt markdown file that I pasted into a fresh claude code instance.
iOS Selfie Overlay
I thought I finally got the selfie overlay in place and then watched + listened to the video for a final pass and realized the audio is de-synced.
Still, I'm getting close. All of the pieces are there, I just need to stitch it together.
Built an MCP server into my latest macOS application.
Now I can query screen time usage stats from Claude Code.
Beginning to add my app icon's to my X header.
These are just the ones launched on the app store. But it's growing everyday.
With all of the AI hype, it's important to remember that fundamentally an LLM is simply text in → text out.
Everything else is just patterns attempting to build deterministic features.
Maybe @apple will release a way to trigger reviews on our end.
Welcome to vibe review 😄
As expected. Apple quietly rolled out automated app review.
Spoiler: it’s not going great so far.
I hadn’t gotten a rejection in over a year, but this time my app got caught by the automated review system and the algorithm decided my app has a login feature and possibly ads.
Neither of those exist, so the rejection is a false positive. And just like that, we’ve entered a new era of App Store reviews.
