I keep saying this but if you understand basic economics the only one winning here is Big AI and Big Tech It's a race to the bottom for anyone else in software So try become a co-owner of big AI and Big Tech stock and survive off their dividends and/or stock appreciation

met a german girl in bali. 27, travelling solo, quit her job to “find herself.” no house, no savings, still paying off her student loans. told me she doesn’t want kids because she wants to see the world first. her biggest achievement this year was watching the sunset in 8 different countries. instagram sold her a lifestyle she can’t afford. i wish her the best.

Build in public was always about marketing. Sometimes you’d be sharing lessons because you genuinely want other indiehackers to succeed, but that’s from an era where there was a non verbal agreement to not overlap projects with someone else, and you have X months of a technical head start anyway. But the sharing ultimately led to benefits. More people checking out your site. More WOM. Maybe even some direct signups from X or wherever you’re sharing. That era is dead now. There’s no tech head start anymore and the non verbal agreement has evaporated. It’s every man woman and chihuahua for themselves. There’s also so much software that nobody cares anymore. I could launch something today that would be revolutionary 2 years ago, that today nobody would bat an eye at. It’s all within reach of anyone with a max subscription. RIP building in public. Let’s hope we find something to replace it. But I think the game now is: can you find a space not saturated with devs where you can provide value with tech, can you shut up about it, and can you sell the solution to non technical buyers. Long enough to make generational wealth before AGI turns us all back into fishermen and rice farmers. Godspeed my fellow meat proxies.

they said "you need an audience to make money" well trustmrr has a guy with 13 followers and $4.96m in revenue

I am so confused why people don't understand this, I keep getting these replies Don't you get it? Normies don't vibe code, they just ask something like "do my bookkeeping" or "file my tax" or "organize a movie night and send invites" or "generate a flyer for movie night" or "edit my video" They don't ever see code, vibe code, or do anything with code, their AI chat app just does it for them Most of the software layer has already disappeared or will completely disappear for normies Just like building personal homepages permanently disappeared for normies when Facebook launched ~2005 A lot like this picture where functions of individual devices all got replaced with a single device Same happening with apps now

Oh for sure I think my only moat left post-AGI is: - Nomads.com community + data (now free membership) - Me being on @X with an audience - My levels.vc investments The rest will be completely and utterly wiped out with no doubt

My gf just sent me this. She’s just got a new job at the fiat mine in London. Why does anyone idolise London? It’s hell. No amount of cash would make me do this day in day out. Money is not the goal. Freedom is.
