Why mailing lists break DMARC, what ARC (RFC 8617) actually does about it, why it only helps where the receiver trusts the sealer, and why From-munging is the reliable fix.
I'm still in the initial stages of getting customers. But looking for advice from those who've got paying customers for your SaaS products. If you're a solo founder, how do you make sure business continuity. If you're sick or taking vacation, there needs to be someone who needs to handle support and maintenance. How did you hire someone or find a partner etc? Because for some domains customers don't want to bank on a single point of failure (the solo founder).
did this out of curiosity on the weekend. gave an agent a task like “sign up for this tool and get to the dashboard” across 10 random products from producthunt. results were rough. captchas killed 5 of them outright. 2 died in email verification because the agent obviously can’t click a link in an inbox it doesn’t have. 1 got flagged at the card step. only 2 worked end to end. what I can’t figure out is whether founders think this is fine or a problem. like if a paying customer tells chatgpt...
I build a LinkedIn outreach tool that runs on your own machine instead of in a cloud dashboard. Solo, no marketing hire, no agency. Over the last few months I moved almost the whole go-to-market to AI. Short version of the setup, then two questions I actually need answered. Killed Webflow The site is now a static Astro repo, and I build pages by describing them in Cursor. The win wasn’t « AI writes my copy » it was that the site became code, so sitemap, RSS, structured data and release notes...
For eight months my whole growth plan was "pour money into ads, fix conversion later." Conversion never got fixed because I never understood why it was broken. Here's the number that ended that era. I finally wired up basic event tracking and looked at what my last 100 signups actually did. 71 of them never once completed the core action the product exists for. They signed up, clicked around for three or four minutes, hit some wall I couldn't see, and left. I wasn't losing customers....
Soo many people on Reddit and other socials claiming they’re making $10k, $20k, sometimes even $50k+ a month from apps they built with AI tools. (A lot of the times it seems to be some ads from the vibe coded tools themselves, or at least they like to push those stories) I’m curious how common this actually is outside of the posts that go viral. Has anyone here personally built an app with Claude, Cursor, Codex, etc. that turned into a meaningful income stream? Or do you even know someone wh...
"I made an app, no idea how to do organic marketing, this is tuff". Here's how to create 2 months worth of content in half a day: Create a TikTok account Pay a UGC girl to give you 30-40 3s reaction clips (upwork/fiver or ugc platforms like socialclaw, dan's ugc, etc) Record a video of your screen showing how the app works , cut it shortly to 1-2s clips. Organize all of these footage files into folders. Ask Claude/Codex to overlay text over the UGC clips and automatic...
Before you answer, what does all written by AI even mean? Did I give Claude a six-word prompt and paste the result? Did I spend an hour arguing the point and ask it to tidy the punctuation? Did it rewrite one awkward sentence? Maybe it changed one comma. How much AI is enough before the whole thing becomes AI slop? And who decides the value by counting words? I could supply one insight and let a model turn it into 2,000 words. That single insight might be the only bit worth anything. It mi...
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’m hoping someone who uses ChatGPT image generation knows the right way to prompt for this. I’m making an illustrated isekai light novel and my biggest problem is scenes with multiple characters in the same frame . The attached image shows what I mean. It isn’t just the distance between the characters. They don’t feel like they are actually drawn as part of the same environment together . It looks more like the AI created a detailed back...
Zuckerberg's out here telling everyone ai is the future of meta's ad revenue, reuters covered his latest ai pitch and called it more ad than substance. Fine tho, he is the ceo thats his job. Altho his own ai ad tools are currently generating gibberish copy and mangled products and business insider found one advertiser's dress ad came out as a shirt and trousers. Emarketer and mediapost both confirmed it and also some of these features are turning themselves on from bugs. So the guy is standi...
For a long time, I’ve had the feeling that generative AI models, for most of the tasks they’re used for, don’t actually need the oversized capabilities offered by frontier models. On top of that, they’re often prohibitively expensive when accessed via API. An open-source model with 4–14 billion parameters, multimodal capabilities, and the right harness of tools, data, and knowledge is more than enough for most use cases. With this idea in mind, I decided to build, together with my team, a si...
Your AI Slop Bores Me is brilliant in its simplicity. There are two tabs: human and LARP as an AI. On one side you enter a request. On the other, you submit an answer. But the important thing is that there's a human on both sides of the equation. Prompts can request a response as […]
At D23, when asked about the potential for a sequel to the cult classic The Simpsons: Hit & Run game, Matt Groening replied, "I think the original game is coming back in some form," before current showrunner Matt Selman added, "or not." The tone in both of their voices and the body language suggests that […]

The Problem
Cameroonian university life runs on scattered WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, and email lists — no single source of truth, no way to discover people or clubs beyond your own campus. "YouthTrend" replaces that with one verified, national social network for students. "Connect. Belong. Grow"
The Solution

Modern agentic applications rarely suffer from a lack of tools.
They suffer from too many of them .
As an AI agent grows, it is common to connect it to Jira, GitLab, Confluence, Sentry, Elasticsearch, Jaeger, databases, monitoring systems, internal APIs, deployment platforms, and dozens of other services.
Each integration can expose many operations:

The industry's currently obsessed with how fast we can generate code. Every morning in our engineering general channel on Microsoft Teams, someone's posting a link to a new agent or a model that can write a thousand lines of perfect frontend or backend code in seconds. We're treating implementation speed like it's still the primary obstacle to shipping software.
It isn't. Implementation's basically a solved problem.
If I want a new microservice to handle regional tax calculations for our ...

Three identical prompts. Three model calls. Same answer.
I saw this in a GitLab CI pipeline that runs a free model over release notes. The prompt template did not change, the model route did not change, and the input did not change. The job simply ran again because another branch was merged. Free quota disappeared.
Is that a quota problem? Sometimes. More often it's a caching problem.
I started asking a different question: can I prove the request is identical before I make another model...
A migration that looks correct in review can still corrupt data because review sees intent, not edge cases. You read the SQL, it says split the name into first_name and last_name and backfill from the existing column, and you approve it. Then the one-word customer names become empty first names, the three-word names drop their middle names, and the unique constraint on email stays intact only because the bad rows never got tested. The fix is not to stop generating migrations; it is to force ever...
Open pastebin, no login, paste text, get a link. That is the whole appeal, and it is also why every anonymous paste service turns into a dumping ground. Bots script the post endpoint and fire off thousands of spam links, phishing kits, leaked credential lists, malware config. The usual fix is to make the thing less anonymous: force an account, bolt on reCAPTCHA, rate-limit by IP. Every one of those punishes the honest one-off user to slow down a bot that just rotates IPs anyway.

Lidar com ponteiros pela primeira vez assusta quem vem de linguagens como JavaScript, Python ou Java, onde a gestão de memória é automática
Mas a ideia é mais simples do que parece.
O que são ponteiros?
Toda variável ocupa um espaço na memória, e esse espaço possui um endereço.
Um ponteiro é uma variável que guarda o endereço de outra variável , em vez de guardar diretamente o seu valor.
x := 10
p := & x
fmt . Println ( * p ) // 10

Next.js Image Optimization in 2026: next/image v4, AVIF by Default, and the Config Changes Teams Miss
This article was written with the assistance of AI, under human supervision and review.
Most Next.js image performance problems in 2026 stem from teams upgrading to v4 without understanding the default format switch to AVIF and the breaking configuration changes that silently degrade production pipelines. The next/image component shipped automatic WebP conversion in v3, but v4 p...
