Red flags that a crypto-miner is hiding on your server (found one on mine after 13 days): - a "system" process with a random suffix (rsyslogd-3499d5ec) - runs from a hidden folder in /var/tmp - that folder is already deleted - high CPU nonstop, swap near full Audit prompt below πŸ‘‡

Audit prompt for Claude Code: Audit this server, read-only. Check: top CPU/RAM processes, processes from deleted files, hidden files in /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm, outbound connections, cron jobs, new users and SSH keys, container child processes. Report only, change nothing.

The Omarchy marketplace is getting busy. Last 9 plugins: an offline RPG in your bar, live UK train times, AppSignal incidents, Google + 365 calendars... and 2 from me: Spotify Mini Player and Loudness Boost. not bad, not bad πŸ˜€

Silent bugs live the longest. One of mine lived 5 years. A SwarmTix customer asked why T-shirt sizes never showed on their tickets. One field in the query was never set, so it was always 0 and matched nothing. The page saw "no answers" and showed nothing. No error, ever.

Opus plans. Sonnet builds. GPT-6 reviews. That's my setup now. One model writing and checking its own code misses the same things twice. A different model catches what the first one was sure about.

I love /eli5 so freaking much! After every task I'm creating these artifacts that help me to get a more clearer picture of what was done

Today got slightly out of hand: 25 commits across 9 repos. Shipped: β€’ live visitor + inbox widgets for Omarchy β€’ click-to-call in Terlido β€’ shareable Mailspring dashboards β€’ TTRS subscription + preset fixes β€’ 10 new Travo SEO opportunities Not bad for a MondayπŸ’ͺ

20% conversion rate on Terlido today. That's one sale out of five visitors. Small numbers make great percentages. Still taking it. Now let's see if it holds when the 5 becomes 500

Terlido's first payment just landed. Built it quietly so far - full reveal coming soon, but this feels like the real start πŸš€

In my downtime, I’ve been polishing something cool: a changelog app that combines AI with GitHub workflows. Here’s what’s new as of today:

View full thread

β†’ The commit browser now has range selection, pagination, and an intuitive panel where you can select your audience and tone before generating updates. β†’ A saved updates history lets you review or manage previously AI-generated changelogs.

In my downtime, I’ve been polishing something cool: a changelog app that combines AI with GitHub workflows. Here’s what’s new as of today:

β†’ GitHub OAuth is fully integrated! Log in securely and connect repo data to power AI changelog generation. Sessions are stored with Prisma, and private repos are supported.

β†’ Speaking of AI, I’ve added support for both Anthropic and Azure OpenAI APIs. A new flow filters commit noise and generates tailored changelog entries using your chosen provider.

Coded a mobile app with Claude while hitting the gym. ​No more tracking my progress in Excel and Garmin πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

Travo, last 28 days: β†’ 1,031 active users β†’ 887 new β†’ 5 paid Β· $66 MRR Activation works. Monetization doesn't. Free β†’ paid is the next mountain.

Travo just hit 700 Google clicks/month from programmatic SEO. Lesson: stop building 1 perfect landing page. Build 500 useful ones from a template and let Google sort them.

i was tired of watching 5-minute Looms at 2x just to find out what the bug was so Claude does it now. paste the link, it transcribes locally with whisper, reads the transcript, goes straight to fixing. feels like cheating honestly link in the comments:

follow up to yesterday's post: the second thing every serious LLM user builds is a cleanup script. because two weeks in, your wiki is full of duplicate facts and the agent starts contradicting itself. someone in the replies called it the "cleanup loop." best name I've heard for it.

every time I watch a serious LLM user work, they end up building the same thing: a folder of markdown files and a claude md telling the AI how to maintain it. karpathy did it. I did it twice. probably you too. got tired of rebuilding it so I made it a product. meshnote.

the whole loop: npx meshnote init ./research drop a paper in. tell claude "ingest this." come back to a summary, author pages, concept pages, all wikilinked into stuff you ingested last week. no UI. no tags. you just read.

genuine question β€” anyone doing the Karpathy second brain thing in something other than Obsidian? tried it twice now and I just don't enjoy using it

salesforce just added 30 AI features to slack thirty. slack was already the app where i go to feel overwhelmed by notifications i should have read yesterday now it has an autonomous AI assistant too congrats we've automated the anxiety

Small App Store tweaks, big difference. In the last stretch, Travo yesterday went to: β€’ 83 first-time downloads (+246%) β€’ 2.72% conversion rate (+129%) β€’ 191 product page views (+194%) β€’ 4K impressions (+65%)

Still early, but this is the kind of signal I care about: better conversion, not vanity traffic. Quiet reminder that ASO is often just CRO for app pages πŸš€

netflix just bought ben affleck's secret AI filmmaking startup for $600 million 16 employees. $600M. that's $37.5 million per person. meanwhile we're out here building SaaS products trying to hit $10k MRR

the worst part about being a solo founder isn't the work. it's having a great idea at 11pm and realizing the only person you can high-five is your dog. and she doesn't care πŸ˜…

84% of developers now use AI coding tools. 46% don't trust the output. we automated the typing and kept all the thinking. that was always the point. the people treating it like a junior dev who needs code review are shipping πŸš€

my actual workflow in 2026: 1. write a spec in plain english before bed 2. my Al agent implements it overnight 3. review the PR with morning coffee 4. ship before lunch I don't vibe code. I don't manually code. I manage a tiny engineering team that never sleeps and never asks for equityπŸš€

friendly tip: clean your laptop at least once a year. just cleaned mine and i'm surprised i didn't find a rat living insideπŸ˜…

new report: AI coding tools have doubled the rate of leaked secrets in code. 29 million credentials exposed on github last year. we gave AI the ability to write code 10x faster and it turns out it also leaks API keys 10x faster. nobody talks about this part of the productivity gain lol
