Quick PSA. I spend a lot of time on X looking for real value to bring back to this community. Along the way, I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting the difference between content that’ll actually help you and content that’s just fishing for clicks. Sharing the cheat sheet because I know a lot of you are newer to this and the noise can be overwhelming. A few patterns to watch for in the lower-quality stuff: 1. The “this guy literally” hook. “This guy literally broke down the simplest way to make money with X.” When a post leads with that energy, it’s usually more about the click than the content. 2. A screenshot of someone else’s success. A YouTube dashboard, a Stripe screenshot, a follower count. Look closely, it’s often lifted from someone else to imply the poster is the one winning. 3. A vague “simple system.” “You don’t need fancy gear, just a system.” Cool, what’s the system? Real teachers actually tell you. Hype posts keep it just out of reach. 4. The bait click. Link goes somewhere that turns out to be AI filler, recycled advice, or a funnel into a paid course. 5. The cartoon thumbnail. Yellow background, cartoon dude with a phone, floating dollar bills, “EASY TO START” tags. Once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it. Now, here’s the good news, real signal looks really different: • Someone showing their actual workflow with their actual work • Free educational content with no upsell (like the Karpathy video I posted yesterday) • People being honest about what didn’t work, not just what did • Specific, technical, sometimes boring details The truth is real revenue comes from solving real problems for real people who pay you real money. That path is slower and less sexy than “passive income with AI,” but it’s the one that actually works. And the good news is, once you train your eye for the real stuff, you’ll find a ton of it out there. There are seriously brilliant builders sharing for free every single day. Build real things. Trust real signal. You got this What’s the best piece of free content you’ve found lately? Drop a link below, let’s share the good stuff

Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds ... sandboxing is a useful tool to help prevent this. Overall: - The risk for solo users is low but real. - The danger comes from giving the AI too much access, not from it acting randomly. - Biggest problems are accidental deletions, bad commands, and weak backups. - Safer use means limiting permissions, reviewing actions, and keeping backups separate.

I have our annual cardiologist appointment for my daughter this Thursday so I won’t be able to hold our weekly Thursday morning call. So I’m wondering, in general what works better for you for a call? Mornings Afternoon evenings Nights Now we are so lucky to have people from all over the world from all sorts of time zones in our awesome community, which just means timing will be a work in progress. But in general when are you free and what time zone are you in? Thank you!

Been super stoked about Raymond launching his first app. It got me wondering What is everyone else working on? I’ll go first
