This might be the most beautiful thing I've ever made.
10 days, 15B+ tokens, $5,000+ spent on Opus 5.5.
Summer Wake is live: summerwake.com 🌴
Explore stunning islands, watch a Grand Prix, ride the sea lift, dive to the Titanic, or even slide off a waterfall.
Enjoy!

I extend this offer of free fitness coaching to anyone who reaches out. Extra points if they're bootstrapping a business.
I'm going to give you the same advice I've used. It's working on myself, and I think it will on you too, but I can't guarantee results. That's why it's free.
I'm 37, also a dad, and I'm in quite a good shape. Not Marc's level yet, but I'm getting there.
I workout 3-4 times a week, at most 30 minutes. Happy to be your free personal coach if you're up to it, just DM if you want.
Here's the type of workout I do tiktok.com/@everground.app/v…

🔧 Created a new tool and made it open source!
ccdeck: stack your Claude accounts, see it in your Mac menu bar, and use the combined capacity without interruption.
- stack multiple accounts, auto switch when usage reaches 90%
- manually switch to any account
- view combined capacity from all accounts
- alt+click to activate “Stay Awake” (no more caffeinate -i 😬)
Have been switching to my second account manually and that interrupts my workflow. ccdeck does the switch automatically when one account reaches 90%.
Download from Github release: github.com/wzulfikar/ccdeck
Or install with brew:
brew install --cask wzulfikar/tap/ccdeck

I asked Claude about the air conditioning debate in Europe, and it really didn’t pull any punches.

We just raised a historic funding round for Portugal, backed by some of the country’s top unicorn founders. And we're now looking for the best young talent to join us.
So we built something to find them. It's called Arcus - a series of trials. No resume. No application forms. Just a terminal and a problem to solve.
The first trial is live: Ode Triunfal, with €3k in prizes. Access it through 'ssh augustalabs[dot]ai'.
More info in the comments.
We're just getting started.

From pocket to note, this is why I built Flint.
I've been switching between Notion, Apple Reminders, Notes, and everything else, looking for a way to capture thoughts while I'm in the middle of something. All I want is to mark the spark. I don't want to select a page, choose a date, or create anything. Let me do one thing and leave me!
With Flint, that was the first thing I designed around. Phone stays locked in my pocket, I press the Action Button, and my thought lands as a note. The process has to be fast so I can put the phone back in my pocket the moment I press stop.
The funny thing is, I didn't plan to build the app. I was looking for my first mobile app to build. Ideas come and go, but I didn't have the tool I want to capture them. So I thought, let's just build it maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I shared Flint with a few friends for feedback. One of them bought it on the spot and asked for Notion integration. Another asked where the data is stored (he needed to know for his research work) and asked for Google Drive. The thing is, Flint has no database or cloud storage! The only database it has is the local database on the phone, where all the audio, notes, and images are stored. So the integrations are going to be a fun challenge, because I want to keep no database to maintain (the fastest db is no db :D).
Excited to build this, and thank you all for the feedbacks!

Modern alternative for your Typescript stack:
- underscore/lodash → es-toolkit
- eslint/prettier → biome or oxc
- husky → lefthook from @evilmartians
- jest → vitest (it's faaast)
- node → bun (not everyone's cup of tea but give it a try)
- tsc → tsgo (it's in beta now!)
What else?

Claude Quota Reduced: Opus Feels Worse and Pro Plan is Unusable
- I noticed a clear drop in Claude’s quality, especially with Opus 4.6. more hallucinations, worse decisions, and poor instruction following.
- Tasks that used to work smoothly now need multiple retries, even for simple changes.
- The quota issue is worse even small prompts are consuming a noticeable percentage of limits.
- Claude Pro is where things break a single maxed Sonnet session took 8% of my weekly limit.
- In just 2 days, I hit 56% usage with only 5-6 sessions (2 hours each).
- This is with normal usage like concepts, strategy, and documentation.
- Paying $20/month now feels like getting fewer messages than the free plan.
- The Pro limit feels almost unusable.
- Later it was said peak hours burn quota faster, but this wasn't communicated clearly.
- Overall, it feels like Claude got worse and more expensive at the same time.

A common mistake is relying upon will power or motivation. Both are weak forms of power.
Build life systems that work on your behalf.

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding:
1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now
2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend
3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets
4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time
5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users
6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists
7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees.
8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing
9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A
10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros
i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings
the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start
you don't

Today, Telegram notified all its users in Spain with this alert:
Pedro Sánchez’s government is pushing dangerous new regulations that threaten your internet freedoms. Announced just yesterday, these measures could turn Spain into a surveillance state under the guise of “protection.” Here’s why they’re a red flag for free speech and privacy:
1. Ban on social media for under-16s with mandatory age verification: This isn’t just about kids—it requires platforms to use strict checks, like needing IDs or biometrics.
⚠️ Danger: It sets a precedent for tracking EVERY user’s identity, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection. What starts with minors could expand to all, stifling open discourse.
2. Personal and criminal liability for platform executives: If “illegal, hateful, or harmful” content isn’t removed fast enough, bosses face jail.
⚠️ Danger: This will force over-censorship—platforms will delete anything remotely controversial to avoid risks, silencing political dissent, journalism, and everyday opinions. Your voice could be next if it challenges the status quo.
3. Criminalizing algorithm amplification: Amplifying “harmful” content via algorithms becomes a crime.
⚠️ Danger: Governments will dictate what you see, burying opposing views and creating echo chambers controlled by the state. Free exploration of ideas? Gone—replaced by curated propaganda.
4. “Hate and polarization footprint” tracking: Platforms must monitor and report how they “fuel division.”
⚠️ Danger: Vague definitions of “hate” could label criticism of the government as divisive, leading to shutdowns or fines. This can be a tool for suppressing opposition.
These aren’t safeguards; they’re steps toward total control. We’ve seen this playbook before—governments weaponizing “safety” to censor critics. On Telegram, we prioritize your privacy and freedom: strong encryption, no backdoors, and resistance to overreach.
✊ Stay vigilant, Spain. Demand transparency and fight for your rights. Share this widely—before it’s too late.

The system is set up to extract wealth from Millennials and Gen Z and give it to Boomers:
- NIMBY housing laws that make it impossible for first time homebuyers to afford a home.
- Student debt that can't be paid off or discharged, leading to permanent wage depression.
- State governments in unsustainable levels of debt to civil service pension funds while canceling those benefits for new hires. California pays an average of 102% of final earnings to retiring civil servants.
- Proposition 13 lets longtime homeowners pay significantly less property tax than new ones.
- Both Medicare and Social Security will not be fully funded starting in 2033.
- Politicians are terrified of calling this out because 9 out of 10 people who go to their town halls are Boomers. I talked to one US Congressman who said "coming out too hard against Boomers is an almost sure way to lose an election". They're happy to call out billionaires but terrified to call out Boomers.
Once you see it the first time, you see it everywhere.
Peter Thiel: If you graduated in 1970 with no student debt, compare that to the millennial experience: too many people go to college, they don’t learn anything, and they end up with incredibly burdensome debt. Student debt is a version of this generational conflict that I’ve talked about for a long time.
The rupture of the generational compact isn’t limited to student debt, either. I think you can reduce 80 percent of culture wars to questions of economics—like a libertarian or a Marxist would—and then you can reduce maybe 80 percent of economic questions to questions of real estate.
It’s extremely difficult these days for young people to become homeowners. If you have extremely strict zoning laws and restrictions on building more housing, it’s good for the boomers, whose properties keep going up in value, and terrible for the millennials. If you proletarianize the young people, you shouldn’t be surprised if they eventually become communist.”
