Going to lock in for a while.
See you in a few months. I'll be in one discord, see bio for details.

Not every writing problem needs a chatbot.
Sometimes you just need to fix the sentence and move on.
So we made 15 small tools. They’re free. No account required.
Rewrite a sentence: typeahead.ai/tools/rewording…
Check the grammar: typeahead.ai/tools/grammar-c…
Catch made-up sources: typeahead.ai/tools/hallucina…
Test your typing speed: typeahead.ai/tools/typing-sp…
All 15: typeahead.ai/tools

When you sign up for @primcloud, if you put Aaron's handle in the "why did you sign up" field at end of onboarding, I'll drop a $5 credit on your account after you deploy your first app.
Underestimate Josh Manders at your own peril 😃
- They pulled credentials from inside their app's container and used them to request every secret on the platform: ours and every other customer's.
- They tried our cloud provider's metadata endpoint, the standard way to steal credentials for the host a container runs on.
- They asked the cluster what those stolen credentials were allowed to do.
- They went looking for our databases and caches by guessing their internal names.
- They port-scanned our whole internal network, all 65,536 addresses, twice.
- It was about 24 commands over 15 minutes, done on purpose and scripted. No app was ever run.
- Every attempt was blocked. Nothing was accessed.
I finished reading Alex West books this week. Thanks for sharing your story!
Next is Sylvester Stallone "The Steps" 😀
I find his story remarkable. I think he would be the coolest grandfather in the world.
Imagine being able to just drop in for some advice now and again !
If it's your sort of thing, I recommend this interview

I'm no Marc fanboy but this is still a bad take
1) progress is not linear
2) marc builds this solo
3) didn't take massive funding
I tried beehiiv a few times. Considering the big team behind it I found it buggy as anything
More alternatives are always a good thing
Marc launched a newsletter platform to 400k followers on X. He got $2k MRR in 16 days.
At that pace, it would take 73 years to match beehiiv's MRR.
Lesson: Building products and businesses is HARD, even with AI, and even with hundreds of thousands of followers.
Obsession with your problem/solution/product is the new moat.

Withdrawal via API call without a 2FA or confirmation step is pretty wild.
here’s what happened in the polymarket hack:
> polymarket just got hacked through a speed tracking script.
> polymarketdotcom loaded a small script from @DebugBear, a company that checks how fast websites run
> someone swapped that file for a wallet drainer. same name, same address
> your browser trusted it like polymarket's own code
> it found your logged in session and checked your balance
> then it sold your positions and sent your money out through polymarket's own withdrawal system
>no password or seed phrase needed
simple way to picture it: the building's security is fine, but a cleaning company has keys to every office. Someone got hold of the cleaning company's keys and walked in dressed as a cleaner
There's a face behind every project. Each person has their own story and their unique highs and lows..
Enjoy the journey 🫶

Next milestone: $1B ARR and we're 10% there!
It's OK to feel unsure. Most people do. Even ones that had success.
Anyone that tells you they have everything figured out is probably not being totally honest.. with you or themselves
"Daylight saving is a waste of time"
Been saying it for years..

An real benefit of ai would be that it invents a new coding language that blitzes everything we have now
better performance
better security
better efficiency
Wonder if that will happen. Seems like a logical next step.
It's sad that anyone nowadays that expresses any sort of intelligent response is immediately labelled "ai"
Time to start grunting one syllable words..
The Lindy Effect: what has been around for a long while will stick around for a long while. Decades of (good and bad) PHP code in the LLM training data, easy hiring due to many devs, deployment goes from push via ftp (lol) to sophisticated HHVM/Hack at Meta. Laravel as a supremely fast idea-to-SaaS platform with a strong history of framework security. It’s also well supported in IDEs and easy to understand. Container runtimes are widely available. Testing, listing, analysis are figured out. There’s a lot to like about PHP.
