Made a quiz game with no ads. Really.
Math, flags, world cities, Spanish and Japanese kana. 600 levels, plays offline.

Been building this for a while: footballranked.com
An Elo model that rates teams and players — 360k games since 2015, 204 competitions.
It’s called 25 of 30 knockout winners at this World Cup. Tonight it favored Argentina v England.
Have a look.
I did it. In 2019 I quit my job as a software architect and moved from Romania to Ireland and started building apps. Not a smart financial decision, but looking back it was totally worth it. I had no other income, just savings for two years. I became ramen profitable (which in Ireland is pretty expensive) in 10 months and grew from there.
I think having no backup plan makes you more hardworking, not the opposite, but maybe it varies for different people.
I started to be a bit lazy after I earned more from my apps, then went back to hard work after my kid was born.
So it’s hard but possible. Best of luck for anyone who tries.
I don't know anyone who quit their job to live of savings and built something that made money before their savings run out except @AndreyAzimov
I always think it's the wrong way to do it
I think you should build something on the side and once it makes equal or more money than your main job or freelance gigs and it's stable, quit the job and switch
Being unemployed somehow makes people lazy and feel too relaxed to build something, like your day is fully free of commitments which sounds ideal but freedom isn't when stuff is built I think, you need constraints
I had income from my YouTube channel Panda Mix Show in 2013 when I started, and it took over a year before I made enough money to switch
Obviously I wish him well but I think better do the switch than hard quit

Demis Hassabis’s “Einstein test” for defining AGI:
Train a model on all human knowledge but cut it off at 1911, then see if it can independently discover general relativity (as Einstein did by 1915);
if yes, it’s AGI.

Screw it, I made it open source..
This is Notchy -_-
He stops you getting distracted when using Claude code by replacing your Macbooks notch with a terminal
He lets you know when claude needs your attention
And plays a sound when tasks are complete
Best of all: he stops your macbook going to sleep while claude is working
I built this for me, maybe you will find it useful too?
As a swift developer Notchy has some custom functionality I built:
- When a new XCode project is open he launches a new tab
- If claude.md is detected he launches straight into claude code
- Command + S saves a quick snapshot of code and I can restore from that checkpoint any time
Enjoy :)

I kept getting distracting while vibe coding… so I made a notch for Claude Code
It updates the status, pings you when you need to answer a question and notifies you when the task is done
When it detects claude is working it also prevents my macbook from going to sleep
I can walk away from my macbook. Or watching a youtube video. And I'll get an alert when it's done.

Apple has rolled out extra ads in search results in the UK. The first and 3rd position in search results are now ads.

There are now more tech workers going from the US to Europe than the other way around

I made my own dictation tool with Claude. Only needed a local whisper model. Now whenever I press right alt if there is a focused textfield in any app, it will support voice input.
If you are building apps add this to your Claude.md / agent.md. Your agent (and your budget) will thank you.
## App Documentation
- An `app.md` file in the project root describes what the app does. Always read it at the start of a session to understand the project before making changes.
- If the project lacks an `app.md`, thoroughly explore the entire codebase and create one before doing any other work.
- `app.md` should be a comprehensive, long-form description covering: what the app does, its architecture, key models/views/components, data flow, APIs and integrations, configuration, dependencies, and any server-side components.
- After completing any change that affects functionality, architecture, views, models, configuration, or dependencies, update `app.md` to reflect the current state of the app.
- Keep `app.md` factual and in sync with the code; do not describe planned or aspirational features, only what currently exists.
