The app for independent voices
Twitter tech drama recap #2:
GoDot (game engine) turned woke(?), the makers are leaving, mods ban wrong forks, full mess.
X Valuation Drops to $9.4 Billion (79% drop). The GFY effect.
OpenAI raised 66 billion (biggest round ever). The more people leave OpenAI, the higher its valuation. Sam is definitely inspired by indie makers and our efficiency.
Dagobert (recently unfollowed by Pieter for being a courseboi) is working on a New Product Hunt to save indie hackers.
Vercel says Cloudflare is a monopoly and it’s dangerous while suggesting that Vercel will be a good monopoly.
X removes bold font from the feed so our eyes stop bleeding.
Elon said, “Twitter must stay independent with its political views,” but goes full MAGA.
WordPress and WP engine went into full fight mode like Johny and Ember: treats, blackmailing, screenshots of sms…the court case is on.
CEO Of WordPress threatened to ruin the WP Engine boss’s career and life if she didn’t take their offer.
Pieter Levels adopted Tate’s slogan, throwing “hit the gym” and “you look insecure” at other indie makers.
Bolt(from stackblitz) has made software developers obsolete. Most devs turned on the denial. But the end is near. (btw, remember Devin? They got $175M in funding for a demo vid and disappeared)
Indie hackers started 536 product hunt clones, promising to release in a few days.
None were released.
PearAI and YC apologized to Continue. All friends now. But all the founders who failed to enter YC now saying “I didn’t even wanna get there, look how bad it is”.
No week without a viral “Vercel pricing is insane.” Cmon guys, it’s a for-profit biz, they charge what the fu*k they want. If I was their CEO, I'd ban indie makers. We never wanna pay for things and use vercel to go viral with these "insane pricing" tweets.
Fans and haters of Docker fought again under “Docker is stupid” tweet with 1m views. I suggest we pick best fighters from both sides and setup a real UFC cage fight to decide once and for all.
Elon jumped on a Trumps’s rally to update the meme library after Hawk Tuah update.
Amazon forces employees to return to the office. Many think they want a layoff those who won't come to cut the headcount.
Pieter Levels says course makers aren’t real founders while making 50k/mo with his book.
