Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Announcement
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Indie hackers and solo founders

We built a small biped robot you can teach new tricks to. Train it in simulation, run it on the real thing. Meet Microduck 🦆 $399, shipping before Christmas. t.co t.co

wow @garrytan just exposed Anthropic as total frauds Claude Code was ONLY 512K LOC ☹️ Gary is shipping 37K LOCs PER DAY so Gary could recreate all of Claude Code in ONLY 13 days! a supposedly $380 billion is big trouble

> be anthropic > see an indie project built on your model > it sold more of your $200/mo subscriptions than your incompetent marketing ever could > ban accounts for using it > copystrike its funny name that drives more discovery of your products @DarioAmodei do you hate success?

Non-technical teams are now shipping production code with no oversight from managers who are busy with 15+ direct reports and getting their hands dirty being player-coaches. Sounds like exactly what I want in my financial institution.

Wasteland Capital

These guys are just shipping 10x faster than anybody else right now. There seems to be a lack of both focus and urgency everywhere else. I don’t know why… but it’s a bit weird.

META shipping a useful tool is bullish you can wrap this right now and create a startup that sells it for 3x the inference cost people who get good at speedrunning this kind of arbitrage get rich while wagies slave away in the goymines

More from Fidji Simo

5.4 is faster and better at professional work -- with big improvements in spreadsheet, doc, and slide creation. In Codex and the API, it's our first general purpose model with native SOTA computer use capabilities, which is going to enable so much more agentic work.

GPT-5.1 is a great new model that we think people are going to like more than 5. But with 800M+ people using ChatGPT, one default personality won’t work for everyone. We launched new preset personalities so people can make ChatGPT their own. t.co
