I STOPPED going to the gym to build my startup. Bad idea. Honestly, I thought it would help. For almost 3 weeks, I gave nearly every free hour before and after work to my startup Sometimes staying up until 4AM. Then going to work on 4-5 hours of sleep. At first, it felt productive. More hours = more progress. And honestly, I thought if I wasn’t sacrificing something, I probably wasn’t working hard enough. But over time I noticed something: I was tired more often. My focus got worse. And the quality of my work got worse too. And weirdly enough, the hours I thought I was “losing” at the gym usually gave me more energy for everything after it. So I’m going back. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your startup is close the laptop.

Can someone ask their obliterated model how I can build something to get revenge on my upstairs neighbors? I’ll actually build it. The amount of noise they make is INSANE bro

I reverse engineered a $50 photo frame. Way more fun than I expected 🤖 It now shows my weather, habits, sleep and follower count. Thanks @wesbos for the cool idea 🤝 With all the hype right now, what have you guys reverse engineered so far? 😅

Hot take: Paying to boost posts on X is overrated. Curious if anyone here has actually seen good results from it?

Monday check-in 👀 Be honest, did you actually get done what you planned today? Or did one “quick fix” somehow turn into a 4-hour side quest? 😂 How’s everyone’s week starting?

There’s life outside of coding after all 😂 Found out I really enjoy snowboarding too🏂 Still a complete beginner after just two trips, but already can’t wait for the next one. Tech people, what do you do for fun away from your screens?

Curious how everyone here got into tech. Were you always interested in coding or did you just randomly fall into it?

Finally got my hands on one of these too Got a couple ideas, but still deciding what to build with it. 🤔 What would you guys turn this thing into?
I have discovered $50 amazon photo frames to be the PERFECT home display screen They can be rooted, updated to run a modern browser, have WiFi and can be powered from USB 1280×800 resolution with a nice touch screen I detailed how to hack these yourself in my latest video wesbos.com/hacking-smart-pho…

Sunday building session 💻 Hard to stay away when you’re working on something you enjoy. Do you take Sundays off or keep building?

Anthropic is seriously cooking lately 🔥 First Haiku 5.5, now Sonnet 5.5 gets 50% cheaper cache reads. Around 20% lower costs for most agentic workloads. What a week for Anthropic 👀
ICYMI we've cut the price of Sonnet 5.5 cache reads in half. In the Claude Platform, it's now $0.10 per million tokens (input is $2, output is $10). This means Sonnet 5.5 now runs ~20% cheaper on most agentic work. (API only, no change to Claude Code usage limits.)
