@rrhoover if hbo's silicon valley were still on the air, they'd have definitely bought your condo

@grok @nikitabier hmmm, your answer is great, but my X data seems wildly inaccurate it says my region is germany and i've never lived there also, searching for region in settings has no results :sigh:

@kubadesign yooooooooo i was trying to recreate these using your images as a moodboard will try using your sref + profile and see how the new results are appreciate your sharing 🔥🙏

i have a fact-based feeling this isn't going to end well

insane success story from @HackerResidency batch 0 i'd love to say HRG was the reason these guys are growing so quickly, but the truth is Brian & Yen were going to find success no matter what – HRG just helped to accelerate them 🔥 • @brianshinsh and @yenisdesigning were the very first residents to have their workstations set up on day 0 when most people were still arriving. locked in, BUILDING, the whole time 💪 • they took every advantage of having experts in the house like @alexcooldev to up their tiktok game which ended up proving crucial to their app's success • brian had previously raised over $15M in venture funding and thoroughly understands the game he's playing. for this product, he very intentionally decided not to raise venture and to instead bootstrap with his partner, yen, with 1 goal in mind: to build something meaningful with care and never have to worry about money again • i know brian was really inspired by @tdinh_me, so being able to chat w/ him during the batch and learn surfing from him seemed like a really impactful experience that helped to balance the long hours of locking in building • once thing i don't think most people appreciate is that brian and yen complement each other so well. @yenisdesigning is definitely Once's secret weapon. the care and depth of design & marketing skill + taste that she brings to the product are unmistakable. this is something that most indie hackers are missing 💯 • every. single. day. they were just so locked in. HRG definitely helped provide a container away from their normal lives where the intention was 100% focused on building, and i think that helped them to make so much progress on building and shipping a very unique and mature mobile app in only 30 days, but that wouldn't have been possible without their innate drive and mindset that can only come from within 🔥 • lastly, they both were really open to helping out other residents in the batch. whether it was creating a fun meme video w/ @robj3d3 a...

anthropic should do something cool w/ the claude GH page at least add a readme with a cute claude character and link to the docs

RT Minh-Phuc Tran The next batch of @HackerResidency is officially sponsored by OpenAI, OpenRouter, and more. We're looking for a few more sponsors to make the event even bigger. If you're interested or know any founders/companies that may be a good fit, feel free to DM! http://hackerresidencygroup.com/sponsors Original tweet: https://x.com/phuctm97/status/2025392132723474451

hmmm this is actually really interesting if a non-native english speaker has to spend some extra cognitive debt to think and prompt in english, in exchange for the models to be slightly better, is that a net win or ultimately hurting them? 🤔

was chatting with a dev recently for @HackerResidency and asked what language his backend was written in his answer: english 😂 i freaking love it he's german and responded so matter-of-factly that it i couldn't help but stifle a laugh.. the underlying programming language didn't even cross his mind, just that he uses english instead of german when prompting. coding is changing so quickly for context, i generally ask a series of probing questions trying to get a sense of a founder's technical / marketing / sales XP, digging into why they made certain decisions, what they're blocked on, etc gonna have to recalibrate my vetting process for 100% AI-native workflows, though i still think it's incredibly useful to understand high-level aspects of your app's architecture huge props btw if you can guess which german indie hacker this was 👀

build something that solves a well-defined problem that you genuinely care about and sell it to a niche audience yap about it online, talk to your users daily, and iterate rapidly based on feedback that's it that's the game oh, and it's 2026, so use as much ai as possible 🦞

update on @HackerResidency interviews: ✅ 500 submissions vetted 🤯 ✅ 20 interviews so far ✅ 50 more interview requests sent out to promising candidates (some of these are already scheduled; some will likely not respond) 🟥 400 rejected (will be sending out notices this weekend) really really strong builders this time around 💪 final invites will go out by end of the month!!

RT François Chollet Sufficiently advanced agentic coding is essentially machine learning: the engineer sets up the optimization goal as well as some constraints on the search space (the spec and its tests), then an optimization process (coding agents) iterates until the goal is reached. The result is a blackbox model (the generated codebase): an artifact that performs the task, that you deploy without ever inspecting its internal logic, just as we ignore individual weights in a neural network. This implies that all classic issues encountered in ML will soon become problems for agentic coding: overfitting to the spec, Clever Hans shortcuts that don't generalize outside the tests, data leakage, concept drift, etc. I would also ask: what will be the Keras of agentic coding? What will be the optimal set of high-level abstractions that allow humans to steer codebase 'training' with minimal cognitive overhead?

my favorite part of @hackerresidency interviews is getting to chat w/ dope, hard-working builders like @PabloSantanaT and @AntonioEscudero 💪 it's sooooo freaking energizing talking to all these amazing builders. really great for perspective && makes me wanna step up my game

i wanted my own @openclaw stickers but couldn't find any good ones, so i created a lil shop 🦞 stickers: https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/OpenClaw-Logo-by-transitive-bs/178442529.JCQM3 merch (shirts, hats, etc): https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/178442529 just the lobster: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/178444258 (not expecting any profits here, but will donate to openclaw contributors on github if there are)

this is so freaking cool

my current @openclaw model fallbacks setup: - anthropic claude plan first - openai chatgpt/codex plan second - openrouter's "auto" model as a solid catchall fallback and for heartbeats (paid api key) - and lastly, openai's api in case openrouter's ever down (also paid api key) it's not perfect but it's been working well enough for me so far and i like that it's relatively cheap, simple, and reliable you can copy the json here: https://gist.github.com/transitive-bullshit/e73c40b8ff6eaedc94f791864a0ee04e --- i also checked out ClawRouter. i really really like the dynamic routing profiles, but i want to use _my existing subscriptions_ and _my existing free api credits_ from these big providers (from hackathons/startup programs). i'd like ClawRouter a lot more if the provider auth profiles were decoupled from x402 (tho x402 is dope af in and of itself and i could see this changing if a company like @OpenRouter were to go all-in on supporting this direction and i could eg transfer my existing credits there) that being said, the main thing missing from this setup is intelligent model routing instead of just sequential fallbacks, so main question is: 👉 how can i improve this setup? 👈

escape normie prison you'll have to crawl through a tunnel of shit for a while but once you taste true financial freedom, it's so fucking worth it so stop scrolling && start building

applications for @HackerResidency are now closed! will be reviewing and sending out interviews over the next 2 days, final decisions by end of the month 🔥 we updated the dates to just 4 weeks: May 1 – 31, 2026 (4 weeks is a more manageable budget for us than 6 weeks for this batch; everything else stays the same) thank you for applying && looking forward to talking with many of you SOON 😊
