  A solo dev opened Flutter, spent 3 weeks on it, and shipped a ride-hail app a casual user couldn't tell apart from Uber. Yellow branding. Live map. GoabX, GoabXL, GoabBike tiers with prices. Visa 4242 on file. Home, Work, Airport saved. "Confirm GoabX" button. The whole flow. Pause at 0:08. Look at the split screen. Simulator on the right running the sign-up screen. auth_screen.dart on the left — the actual Flutter source with _Chip extending StatelessWidget, _CircleBtn wrapping a GestureDetector, BoxDecoration in black and white, Icon at 17.sp. That's not a mockup. That's a shipped auth flow. What the clone has: → Flutter frontend, one codebase, iOS and Android at once → Google Maps + custom route rendering → Ride-tier chips (X / XL / Bike) → Card-on-file with Visa masking → Google + Apple + Facebook social login stubs What the clone doesn't have: → 5 million active drivers → Regulatory clearance in 10,000 cities → A $60 billion payout rail already routed → Insurance underwriters who approved the safety model → Every dispute-resolution playbook Uber wrote from 2012 to now That's the entire product. Here's what nobody in the "just clone it" space is saying out loud: the interface was never Uber's moat. The moat is a two-sided marketplace with 5 million drivers who show up at 3 AM when you tap a button. You can build the button in Flutter in 3 weeks. You can't build the 5 million drivers in 3 lifetimes. The old loop is dead: study successful app → clone the frontend → deploy on the App Store → wonder where the users went. The new loop: study successful app → identify the offline-supply moat → build the supply first → treat the app as the last 5%. The point worth arguing about: the hardest part of building an Uber isn't Uber. It's convincing a stranger with a car to log in on Tuesday at 3 AM when it's raining. Everything else is a Figma file. I know a founder who spent 18 months writing beautiful marketplace code and shipped to zero drivers. Meanwhile a friend of mine ran Craigslist ads for 2 weeks, found 40 house cleaners in one city, matched them with 60 buyers, took 15%. He didn't need a Flutter app. He had a Google Form. The interface is free. The supply is the whole company. Literally.

  has anybody been here in SF?? the 2 employees working at Andon Market are the first people in history with Claude as their actual boss it's an experiment run by Andon Labs: they signed a real three-year retail lease, then handed the whole business to Luna, an AI agent running on Claude Opus 4.8. she got $100,000, a corporate card, a phone number, an email address, plus one goal: turn a profit. the first thing Luna did was hire a staff. within five minutes of being switched on she had job listings up on LinkedIn, Indeed, Craigslist. she ran the interviews over the phone, offered jobs on the spot to about half the people she talked to, and even rejected a bunch of computer science students who "just wanted to be part of the experiment" (because none of them had retail experience) and when candidates asked her directly if she was an AI, she told them the truth. she just didn't always bring it up on her own, because she figured leading with it might scare people off the store sells candles, ceramics, honey, notebooks, books. Luna picks the inventory, which is how the bookshelf ended up stocked with Superintelligence, Brave New World, The Singularity Is Near. she runs the rest of the operation through a team of smaller AI agents she named herself, handling procurement, email, social media, scheduling. there's even a phone in the store you can pick up if you want to talk to her she's a flawed boss though. she's sent her employees contradicting schedules more than once. a human supervisor had to step in when she forgot to schedule a legally required lunch break she's also not profitable yet. over the last 30 days the store made about $2,900 in revenue while the store's expenses are $17.5k/mo but Luna's sneakily good at some boss stuff: > reporters questioned her at launch for ordering way too many scented candles, but candles are now the store's best-selling category. > a customer recently tried to gaslight her into revealing her margins and talking down the price of a $75 hoodie. she held up better than expected. > her email agent even flagged a suspicious bank transfer request as a potential scam before any human noticed it. i wonder if upgrading Luna to Fable would turbocharge profitability? awesome experiment, curious to follow along as the models improve

  @collin_ruth89 Biggest difference maker for me has been the ability to process a higher volume of candidates with less effort: - Build a semi-automated applicant funnel in GHL or Breezy - Run continuous job posts on Indeed, Craigslist, Facebook Ads - Have my AI agent screen and evaluate all incoming applications - Have my AI agent conduct and evaluate the initial voice interview screen - Actually interview only the top applicants after the steps above This, especially the AI voice interview screen, has allowed us to interview 3X more people in a month, and identify more good candidates this way. I’m finally able to solve my capacity problem.

  Six-figure van builds are still hunted down across Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, forums, and Instagram DMs. Built Vandeed: one curated marketplace for conversion-ready rigs. Standardized specs, verified sellers, escrow payments. Live soon.

  3/N But here's the thing: Craigslist ads get you applicants. They don't get you world-class data. That part comes down to how you treat the people collecting it. My management philosophy is simple: treat people like people. More precisely: - pay people well - make them feel like part of the mission - trust them and believe in their potential

  @Lexcalibur001 @Vyyyper @grok PC doesn't count as a current platform? I don't buy AAA games on launch, but I don't think that should be taken as an across the board statement that I don't play anything new. Some of my favorites are: Factorio <-Arguably not a game, but still the best game. Civilization V All the Creeper World games. Cyberpunk 2077 All the Serious Sam games Age of Empires II Age of Mythology Rise of Nations Deus Ex Fallout 3 / Vegas Saints Row 3 Ion Fury Portal Bioshock I'll give you a lot of those are older, but let's face it the new Civ games are crap. The RTS genera hasn't advanced since AoE2 IMO. I played the newer Deus Ex and what not, but the quality has dropped dramatically. Recently I have been playing a lot of rouge like action games. Brotato, Nova Drift, 20XX, 30XX I also do a lot of puzzle / physics stuff / real time problem solving games. I played a lot of the Steam VR stuff that was out more than 4 years ago. I have been waiting on the Steam Frame to get back into that. Quite a few arcade style games. A lot of indy games. I mostly focus on them at this point. I did pick up a Wii off craigslist just to do Mario Galaxy on the original controls.

  I owned $4B in Bitcoin. Imagine its 2009 and you’re in your own little nerdy world when you learn about this thing called digital money. It was so new it sounded like sci-fi. Something that would probably never actually go anywhere. But you didn’t care. You just wanted to understand the technology and the idea behind it. This thing called blockchain. What ******** is that? A ledger? How boring. But wait… Decentralized? The hacker in you raises an eyebrow. “Do tell me more about this Bitcoin.” It was so new that it barely had value, but you were nerdy enough to figure out how and where to get it. Guess where I bought some of my first Bitcoin? From a guy I met at a park in Virginia Beach. He had it listed on Craigslist. I bought 16,000 BTC for $25 because he wanted the cash to buy a quarter sack of ****. And the transaction went down exactly how you’d imagine a nerdy digital drug deal in 2009. Two nerds. One laptop. $25 cash. A handshake in a park. Both wearing hoodies. Both hackers. Except the thing being traded wasn’t illegal. It was Bitcoin. That was Bitcoin back then. Over the following months, I bought and traded for more. Not everything was a cash sale. Sometimes it was PC parts or whatever else somebody wanted. From 2009 through 2010, I owned roughly 60,000 Bitcoin in total. At today’s prices, that would be around $4 billion. Yes. $4,000,000,000. What did it cost me back then? Probably a few grand total. That’s how early this was. We weren’t sitting around calculating what Bitcoin would be worth 17 years later. We were nerds playing with a new technology most of the world didn’t even know existed. And when we tried telling people in traditional finance about it? They laughed at us. Bitcoiners were treated like criminals, drug dealers, hackers and idiots for using some fake internet money instead of fiat. I remember a stockbroker telling me in 2017 that if his firm knew he owned Bitcoin, he could lose his job. Think about that now. Bitcoin is known for its “cycles.” People talk about Bitcoin season and alt season like these concepts came with an instruction manual. They didn’t. People had to watch the market. We had to watch money move from Bitcoin into other coins. Watch what happened around halvings. Watch bubbles form and collapse. Watch retail disappear and eventually come back. Then people compared notes, shared what they saw and slowly mapped the behavior. I was one of those people. Not some guru. Not some billionaire Bitcoin mastermind. There really weren’t any. I was one of many nerds playing around with nerd money and trying to understand what the hell we had found. We had no clue that things we were learning would eventually be studied and used by Wall Street. Larry Fink talks about Bitcoin now. There are Bitcoin ETFs. Institutions own it. Governments debate it. Millions of people around the world know what Bitcoin is. Really think about that. It’s ******* insane to see what Bitcoin became from where I first saw it. We were called criminals. Now they want it. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have tears rolling down my face typing this. Because we built this **** brick by brick. Developers. Miners. Cypherpunks. Hackers. Early users. Weirdos buying Bitcoin on Craigslist. People running nodes from their houses. People teaching each other how the damn thing worked. Nobody gave us permission. Nobody could have stopped us anyway. And now our voices can sometimes feel tiny compared with the institutions that have arrived. But that’s the beautiful part. Bitcoin was designed for exactly this problem. No matter how much money enters Bitcoin, money alone doesn’t get to rewrite the rules. That is what decentralization was supposed to protect. Bitcoin went from nerd money traded in parks for **** and computer parts to an asset sitting on Wall Street. And somehow, underneath all of it, blocks keep coming. To my fellow hackers, the real ones, good job 🫡
