Follow AI Builders — Not Influencers

llms.txt did indeed turn out to be complete bullshit

lots of new faces here, so let me introduce myself again: 2015: built my first startup with my co-founder Tom - a kids app. 500,000 downloads. zero revenue - sold it and walked away 2017: raised €500K for a coding platform. signed a deal with Ubisoft. deal collapsed. company went bankrupt. €250K in personal debt. 2018: took a job as a CTO, kid #1 coming 2020: quit my job. planned to travel the world. COVID hit. stuck in France. 2021: partnered with Tom again. we shipped 11 products in 4 months. the first 10 failed. the 11th was Tweet Hunter. 2021: Tweet Hunter hit $100 MRR in 3 days. we knew we had something. 2022: crossed $1M ARR. won Product Hunt Maker of the Year. sold Tweet Hunter and Taplio to lempire for $8M. 2024: left lempire. started over with 5 new products. no VC. no investors. just revenue. 2025: Revid crossed $500k mrr and Outrank crossed $200k mrr 2026: crossed $1,000,000/month across the portfolio and still got called out for sharing free resources on my newsletter took me a bankruptcy and tons of failed products to find my way - turns out that was the path most of this was uncomfortable, but I just never stopped building that's about it - see you around on the timeline 👋

My Claude keeps saying "that's a day of work" when it's like done in 5 min 😂

Codex is going to make their browser preview a full browser. It's going to be awesome. You'll be able to use all your creative tools like Canva, Capcut, excaladraw and more directly inside Codex. But then, GPT-6 will realize that for 99% of use cases it can generate its own application that has the feature set you want. And codex will build it in such a way that gives it full control to use the app (Codex can design the app for you AND CODEX to use) It'll generate any interface... right when you need it. maybe even before you know you need it. I honestly have no idea what this means. It is just an honest prediction.

The conclusions here feel wrong to me. The two lessons I see are: 1. Don't run agents anywhere they might be able to access production environment credentials - it's on you to know which credentials those are 2. Keep tested backups that are independent from your production host
