Six investor update video scripts you can copy: normal month, good month, hard month, starting a raise, a launch, and a board pre-read. Each under 40 s as written, so there's room for your numbers. boardroomcue.com/guides/inve…

people say "vibe coded" like it's an insult. i think the real problem is shipping code nobody read. do you read every diff your AI writes, or just run it?

php2shell is wild. people were getting hit before the patch even dropped if your server runs php, patch it and then rotate your keys. an rce can read your .env i built keyfold so i know which key lives where. makes rotating way less painful keyfold.app

For everyone who was asking, this is free for 90% of users. It's only paid for hardcore indie builders.
I kept API keys in .env files, notes and old chats. Every AI tool wanted them pasted in. So I built Keyfold: one encrypted file on my Mac, and AI agents that use keys without ever seeing them. 1.0 is out today. The first 10 buyers pay $5.

Day 30 of 30. 30 days of sharing my real numbers here. This is the full month. Followers: 198 on Day 1. 338 today. +140. 182 posts 335 replies sent 23,672 impressions 352 likes 242 replies received 3 lessons the numbers taught me: 1. Timing beats volume. One quick "is Claude down?" post did 14,551 of my 23,672 impressions. More than all my other posts combined. 2. Conversations grow accounts. A simple "let's connect" intro got 55 replies. Then I sent 60 replies in one day. Followers went from 245 to 340 in two days. 3. Going quiet stops growth. My last 3 days: 3 posts, 1 reply sent. Followers slipped from 340 to 338. Thanks to everyone who replied this month. Which of these 3 have you seen on your own account?

Day 29 of 30. 0 posts today. 0 replies sent. Followers: 340, up 2 since yesterday. The flop today was me: I went quiet for a full day. Yesterday's teaser video is at 23 impressions, 1 like, 0 replies.

Day 28 of 30. 1 post today: a teaser video of something I'm cooking. 5 impressions, 0 likes, 0 replies so far. Followers: 338, down 1 since yesterday's post. Too early to judge the teaser. The clear miss: I sent just 1 reply today. On the 2 days I sent 60 and 21 replies, followers jumped.

Overwhelmed today, and the cause is good news: I connected with so many builders. Nobody warns you that finding your people also fills your notifications. Other builders, how do you handle a good day this loud?

19 hours in, 1 sale, and that was my own test purchase. That's the reality for 99% of indie developers.
