Le créateur de Node Js 😳
it's shocking that software engineering has transitioned to 100% AI written in such a short time.
it's more shocking that somehow we, the SWEs, are all just continuing on as if nothing happened. It writes C++ better than I ever could, but the problem of making sure it works didn't magically disappear. we are just shipping enormously more volume at higher quality.

I’m sorry but this is the most stupid thing apple has ever done. I am the biggest apple fan, but this makes absolutely no sense.
Steve Jobs would have fired everyone on the team before this would have happened.

While going through Altair's feedback and making UGC, I noticed something. Apps should actually start from the aha moment, and get built after that.
I built Altair more like a system than an app. It's an agent that works with all of your body's health data and can take action. That's honestly really cool. But to impress a user you get a few seconds at first, maybe 10 if the hook works. And at that point, the thing about Altair that grabbed people's attention most was how smoothly calorie and nutrition tracking worked, and how well it knew their body and felt personalized to them.
So I built EasyBurn on top of Altair's infrastructure. Basically, only the UX changed. Building more niche apps just makes a lot more sense to me now, because they're easier both to explain and to understand.
Coming soon to the App Store.

The richest people I know all worked hard on something boring for 5+ years. And most did this for 10-20+ years.
People have gotten the totally wrong idea about what it means to be an early stage entrepreneur. They truly believe that in less than a year they can launch a lifestyle business, replace their salary, and have perfect work-life balance just 6-12 months in.
Let me tell you right now that that is total bullshit.
If you want instant work life balance and to be home by dinner every night, you’re dreaming. It doesn’t work that way.
Starting a business is really hard, and you can’t give up your main income source until you have a proven model that can feed your family.
You will have to make sacrifices. You will miss some dinners. You will miss some weekends. You will miss some vacations (especially in the first few years as you build your base)
To me, it all comes down to patience and delayed gratification.
5 years in, you can absolutely be making 3X your old salary, have a team of people under you and work less but earn more than you used to at your old job.
That said, it takes TIME, a lot of good decisions and hiring and delegating to a team. It doesn't happen overnight.

Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If you’re building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are:
• Proprietary data
• Network effects
• A physical component

Submitted Altair 1.0.4 with new screenshots, including weekly and annual subscription options ✅
Here's what's new in Altair 1.0.4, and why.
- If a user signs in with Apple and I can get their name from their Apple account, onboarding no longer asks for a name at all. And the sign-in button is now on the very first screen the user sees.
- Users also no longer grant HealthKit access during onboarding. People come to this app to talk to Altair, and that step only delays the "aha moment." Instead, I added a prompt to the Today's Score card on the home screen that asks them to allow Apple Health access so they can see their score for the day.
- The most important change: before users even see that card, they land on a screen where Altair asks them a question. Nothing comes between the sign-in button and Altair logging your meal from a sentence written entirely in your words. When users leave that chat and go to the home screen, they can grant HealthKit access to see today's score.
- I sell this app as an AI agent that knows your body, so I redesigned the chat screen to present Altair as a person, like other personal agents.
Next, I'm redesigning the App Store screenshots entirely around Altair answering questions. The most impressive part is that you can talk to Altair about what you've done today and what you're about to do. So I'll skip the unnecessary slogans.
I'm learning a lot these days.

Joe Mazzulla:
-jacked
-hot wife
-watches The Dark Knight every Thursday
-makes $11M a year and drives a minivan
-turns a question about halfcourt defense into a deep conversation about the meaning of life
-has no idea who Kim Kardashian is dating (best guess would be she’s still with Reggie Bush)
-blue belt in jiu-jitsu
-doesn’t have Instagram
-basically Rust Cohle from True Detective except sober and black
If you’re not a fan of Joe Mazzulla you’re not a fan of life.
Joe Mazzulla on reports of the Celtics vibes being high at training camp
"Every team you lead is the most together team right now. Because we haven't traveled. No one's gotten benched. No one's been on a losing streak. No one's gotten blamed in the media. No one's had to go stand in the corner for 10 minutes and not get the ball. So, you learn those things as the season goes on, and you just learn how to work through those things together. And you can't simulate those. It just comes with time. And so, right now I would say all 30 teams feel great about themselves, and we got to wait till adversity hits. And adversity is even a strong word. There's nothing really adverse about playing in the NBA. But we got to wait until stuff doesn't go your way, and then you got to figure out who we are and how we're going to be at our best."

Turkey in mobile gaming is insane:
2010: 3 turkish founders start an app studio called Peak Games
2020: They sell it to Zynga for $1.8B
2019: before the exit, Peak employees start another app studio (Dream Games)
2026: Dream Games is now valued at $5B
They're built different

Here's the demo video for Altair #shipaton
Submitted Altair to #shipaton 🥳
And it’s 7 AM right now.
I played basketball for three hours tonight and came back home. Yesterday morning, Apple approved the third update for Altair. My plan was to submit the app and go to sleep. But then I realized I only have a launch video, not a demo video.
So, I spent the entire night working on the demo video.
I seriously need this sleep 🤣
Get Altair btw: apps.apple.com/us/app/altair…

By the way, September 2026 was the month I got the highest downloads for my apps on the App Store.
And I only decided to focus entirely on my own products back in June.
Feeling so bullish.
