I reverse engineered Pocket and made it 10X better.
Right now: the app is full of ads, the microphone is low quality, it constantly misspells peoples names, and has no agentic features.
I changed that.

"npx t3 connect"
This one's been a lot of work. You can now set up remote control for T3 Code on any internet-connected box with literally one command. All for free.
T3 Connect is a minimal open source tunnel layer allowing you to control T3 Code instances remotely without needing Tailscale set up. I've been daily driving it for a month and it has changed how I code.
Julius and I put a lot of effort into making setup as smooth as possible.
Step 1: Install Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Grok Build
Step 2: Run "npx t3 connect"
Step 3: Click link and sign in
Step 4: You can now control that computer on T3 Code web, desktop or mobile (dropping very soon)
We are currently providing this for free (s/o CloudFlare for bumping our tunnel limits). Every user can connect up to 3 devices.
We don't want to charge for this, but if the bill gets unacceptable we may have to change course. If you hit limits or have issues, you can always fork, self host, or use Tailscale.
T3 Connect may seem like a small ergonomic win. Tbh that's exactly what it is. Regardless, it's one I'm really proud of.

hot take: i automate everything in my life. not because i'm lazy (okay, maybe a little) but mostly because it rewired my brain.
personally and professionally, automation has been the single best investment of my time.
most automations are just very basic python scripts but they train you to spot patterns everywhere. repetitive tasks jump out at you. your threshold for "good enough" shifts upward. the bar keeps rising without you realizing it.
people around you settle for less. but you don't. you ask "why are we still doing this manually?"
people start noticing, not because you are showing off. because you're solving real problems they didn't know could be solved.
if you're doing something the same way every day, automate it. if a task doesn't need your judgment but takes your time, automate it. reward is not just you saving 5-10 minutes, it's training yourself to see possibilities.
you won't know what can be automated until you start automating. each script teaches you to spot the next one.
and most importantly it's fun. there's genuine joy in watching a script do work you used to dread. in turning tedious into trivial.
the people who automate don't just get more done. they think differently. they build different careers.
start small. one script. one annoying task. see where it takes you. 🥂

The fear around not being ambitious enough holds people back from being ambitious. Starting a small at-home biz that sells fresh cookies is ambitious. So is trying to start a big company. Doing anything out of the norm, no matter how big or small, is ambitious and takes guts man.

maybe it's not about changing the world, maybe its not about the billions. but maybe it's as simple as the fact that somebody somewhere invented the screen ur seeing this on, the chair i’m sitting in. the music playing through my headphones. and because of them, the world is a bit less dark. maybe that is reason enough to do something sick for the world, no matter how big or small.

Working at a startup is good because it helps you to develop a founder “mentality”
every time you think “someone from that team should fix this” you realize ohh let me fix it.
Nothing is ever someone else’s problem.
- The best thing about working at a startup is your work matters.
- The tough thing about working at a startup is your work matters.
In startups dont do politics, do the hard work.
If you arent prepared to do that, I fear for you.

DiceDB 1.0 is here 🎉
What if, overnight, your cache became faster, fully multi-threaded, and reactive - pushing real-time updates to clients effortlessly without extra complexity?
Modern applications demand speed, scalability, and real-time updates. But most existing databases and caches weren’t built for true reactivity, forcing devs to write extra code for polling and managing states.
That’s exactly what we set out to solve. No more unnecessary polling—just instant, efficient updates when data changes.
Watch the announcement video (linked in the subsequent tweet), where I showcase reactivity in action, a powerful use case, and how DiceDB helps you build low-latency applications.
We are re-imagining what a modern cache should do.
We are re-imagining how data is delivered to the clients.
We are re-imaging the real-time data stack.
DiceDB isn’t just another cache - it’s a fundamental shift in how modern applications handle real-time data.
Give it a spin.
Super thankful to all contributors and maintainers of DiceDB :) It would not have been possible without them.

The main things I want to learn when it comes to backend are:
- if 500 of my users are simultaneously sending requests to my backend, how do I handle that? I am unaware of how expensive this operation is. Is 500 too small a number to worry about? Also, is there a way to test it without making it live and waiting for it to break?
- how do I prevent ddos attacks?
- how do I go by making copies of my database in case there's a security breach? What pointers should I keep in mind?
Once I'm clear about these ideas in practice, I'll be extremely confident in properly releasing the things I build.
2-3 days of intense conversations with gpt4 just might get me there.
