  SITA (@S1TA10) reported 5 minutes ago

  A 22-YEAR-OLD FROM LONDON CLOSED A DEAL ON AN AI AGENT TEAM WITH ZERO DEVELOPERS ON HER TEAM. CLIENT SIGNED THE CONTRACT. SYSTEM RUNS ITSELF. she is not a programmer. not technical. has no team. but she has four agents and one pipeline that does what others pay $370,000 a year for. agent 1 scrapes google maps and instagram while she sleeps. leads are already in the system by morning. agent 2 creates a personalized plan and mockup for every potential client. automatically. no human involved. agent 3 writes a personal outreach email for each lead and drops a ready draft directly into the client's gmail. agent 4 coordinates the work of all three. tracks the status of every lead. signals when a human is needed. the rest of the time - full autopilot. she did not write code. she made a proposal. negotiated the terms. got the contract signed. claude code did everything else. most businesses still keep people on tasks that require no decisions - only execution. lead generation. cold outreach. personalized mockups. emails. anything with a clear algorithm AI closes better. faster. without errors from exhaustion. and while a competitor waits for a reply from a junior - her system already sent its hundredth email today.

  @IceSolst major mail service providers like gmail have made all these mostly-pointless things a soft requirement to run your own mail server. dkim is about attribution, so no server can claim after the fact that they/their user did not send the mail. it's a scheme to ruin self hosting.

  @DudeWhoInvests They have a stranglehold on their customers and interpret this as having a strong business. On top of that, if you’re hiring young people it’s increasingly becoming an issue. Forcing people to use outlook after they’re used to Gmail is pure corporate torture

  Hot take: WWDC 26 was a dud 💩 Apple promised this Siri 2 years ago. Got sued. Settled for $250M. Delivered it now in 2026. But there is actual good stuff in there. Late in classic apple fashion but promising this time. WHAT THEY GOT RIGHT: → Siri finally has cross-app context: it reads your messages, emails, calendar and just acts. No copy-pasting, no switching apps, no explaining yourself twice → On-screen awareness is real. Point at anything, ask Siri about it. On Mac you can right-click a window and ask questions about what's on it. I didn't think I needed this until I saw it → Phone app pulling context from your emails mid-call is the sleeper feature nobody's talking about → Siri remembers conversations now. Finally. This is the assistant Apple was pretending to have since 2022. WHERE THEY LOST THE PLOT: → "Customisable voice sliders for Siri": bro, Samsung has had this since 2019 → AI reply suggestions in Messages: Gmail did this in 2018 and nobody clapped → Tab management in Safari packaged as a breakthrough feature. It's tab management. → Federighi talked about privacy for 10 minutes straight. Cool. Also Google Gemini is now inside your iPhone and Apple is paying them $1B a year for it. That part was a footnote. The product is genuinely good. The showmanship is still peak Apple, half the keynote was dressing up solved problems as inventions. But the cross-app stuff? That's real. That changes how you use your phone. 3rd party applications cannot really let you do much with AI agents on your phone but when you’re apple, you can literally make the phone do anything using AI. They gave a peak behind that curtain at WWDC 2026. You cannot really use the apps of your choice with SIRI right now but surely, that will come. Imagine saying, “hey Siri, it’s time to leave for work” and Siri calling you a cab. In 5 years, you may not be looking at your phone at all. Screens are so old school, voice is the new surface.

  Any email client recommendations? I got a free year of Superhuman but it's ending soon. I like a lot about it, but it still has a few issues for a €33/month service. What are people using these days? Just Gmail?

  38,000 contacts. Zero sends in 5 years. Then one day they pulled the trigger. Emailed all 38,000 without any slow ramp up, nuking their sender reputation in the process. When your daily send volume goes from a few hundred emails to suddenly blasting 38,000 addresses. In the eyes of the inbox providers (ie. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook ), you look like a crooked spammer. So that’s exactly where your emails go. Open rates drop to <10% and sales from email dries up with it. If you're holding onto a list and plan on sending to them when there’s less fires to put out in your business/life, remember… It takes seconds to **** your domain and months to recover. If we’d gotten to this client before this happened. We would have: > cleaned the list > ramped up the sends slowly > reintroduced the client to the list Of course there is nuance to this. But you can make bank from a dormant list. As long as you pull the right levers in the right order.

  I just got an email reply that reminded me why I actually do this. It was from a girl named Roos. She replied to one of my automated funnels for Beter Turnen. The email I sent was a standard sequence. Talking about lesson prep, saving time, and offering a trial for my platform. Real "founder marketing" stuff. Her reply: "Jo, I want you to know that I'm really sorry but I can't gymnastics anymore. My knee has a very bad injury so unfortunately I have to delete your gmail too otherwise I get too much storage sorry 😔" It hit me. We talk about funnels, conversion rates, and "leads" all day. We look at dashboards and see numbers moving up or down. But on the other side of that automation is a person who feels like they owe you an apology because they can't use your product anymore. Roos didn't just unsubscribe. She felt a connection enough to explain why she was leaving. She was worried about her storage space, but more worried about letting me know why she couldn't follow the lessons. Automation usually feels cold. But if you write like a human, people respond like humans. Even when they’re leaving. That’s the goal. Building something that people actually care about losing.

  @ExitLiqCapital I've got my own domain, never had a problem. But my domain name doesn't end in capital which suggests some kind of financial services. It's not about having your own non gmail domain.

  Your longer chats aren't smarter. They're dumber. Here are the 12 wrong facts you (still) believe: 1. LONGER CHAT → not smarter ☑ One chat = one task. Finish it after getting done. ☑ Need the context? Ask for a 5-line summary, paste it into a fresh chat. Faster AND cheaper. 2. CLAUDE AGREEING → not a proof you're right ☑ "Argue the strongest case against this. Be harsh." ☑ Test: if it can't find a flaw, your idea isn't ready. 3. CONFIDENT → not always correct ☑ Prompt with: "Rate your confidence 1–10 & what change would you make to your answer." ☑ A 6/10 with reasons beats a 10/10 with vibes. 4. PROMPTING → you don't need to learn it ☑ You only need 4 words: "Ask me questions first." ☑ Claude interviews you. You click. That's it. 5. LONGER PROMPT → not a better prompt ☑ Don't write "do step 1, then 2." Write the end goal ☑ "Make this report something my CEO screenshots." It's smarter than your directions. 6. BROWSER → switch to Claude app ☑ The Claude app builds the real file in your folder. ☑ The browser makes you copy-paste. ☑ Make a folder, call it "cowork," point Claude at it. Now it ships .xlsx, .pptx, .pdf - for real. 7. CHAT → not the whole building ☑ Chat is floor 1: Cowork, Skills, Code are upstairs. ☑ Open the app, click Cowork (the whole upgrade). 8. SKILLS → build one tonight, no code ☑ Type /skill-creator and say: "Teach Claude to do [your task] the way I like it. Ask me questions first." ☑ Now it fires on its own when the task fits. 9. PASTING LOGINS → never do this ☑ Never paste a password. No need to explain why. ☑ That's literally what connectors are for. ☑ Customize → Connectors → connect Gmail, Calendar, Drive properly. 10. AI → keep the understanding ☑ Outsource the typing. Not the understanding. ☑ Don't ship what you can't explain. After answers: "Explain this to me like I'll be questioned on it." 11. FIRST DRAFT → it's the starting line ☑ The first draft is yours to fix, not to ship. ☑ Prompt: "What's the weakest part of this? Fix it." 12. TOO FAR BEHIND → no, you're not ☑ The bar to 'knowing how' is to try it. ☑ Open Claude tonight. Not Monday. Tonight. Quick gut-check before you scroll: If you nodded at even 3 of these, that's not a 'you' problem - nobody told you.

  For context on how bad 36/100 actually is: the alert system was also making 2,000 sequential email connections per send cycle. At 1,000 subscribers that's enough to get the whole service rate-limited by Gmail. Not a slow feature. A feature that quietly stops working at scale, with no error, no log, nothing telling you it failed. This is the stuff that's invisible until it isn't.

  @Sakshi50038 Love the sentiment, honestly. But let's be real. Zoho Mail over Gmail — valid. Zoho is genuinely world-class and Indian. ✅ Indus over ChatGPT — tried it. Not there yet. ❌ Paragon over Nike — for what exactly? Running shoes or formal wear? Context matters. Bisleri over Kinley — both fine, honestly. Voltas over Samsung AC — actually a solid choice. Tata product. Indian brand. ✅ Jio over Vodafone — most Indians have already made this switch. ✅ SBI over Standard Chartered — depends on your needs completely. The problem with "Go Desi" campaigns: We celebrate the idea. But the Indian alternative has to actually be better or equal first. Choosing India out of guilt doesn't help. Choosing Indian because it's genuinely good — that builds the ecosystem. Build better products first. The customers will follow naturally. 🙏

  People are saying all the wrong things about Telegram because it is the only platform in India that refused to bow down and suck up to the government. WhatsApp did it. Meta did it. Gmail did it. But Telegram didn't do it fully, like the others. When you cannot hold someone by the rules, hold them by the fumes. Respect for Pavel Durov and Telegram, the OG messenger.

  Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reported 1 hour ago

  Day 14 of 30. 30 Days of Practical Tech. Today: lock your accounts in 5 minutes with an authenticator app. Here's the problem with the text message codes most people use. A hacker calls your phone company pretends to be you and moves your number to their SIM card. Now the codes come to them. It's called a SIM swap and it's how people lose their whole Coinbase balance overnight. The fix: download Authy or the 1Password app. Go to the security settings on Gmail X and your bank. Pick "authenticator app." A square barcode pops up. Scan it with the app. Done. The app spits out a fresh 6 digit code every 30 seconds and it lives on your phone not the phone network. No call to your carrier can steal it. That one move stops about 95% of account break ins. Took me longer to type this than it'll take you to do it. Tomorrow Day 15: how a password manager makes one stolen password stop being your problem.

  So I started turning it off. First, the switch they actually show you. On desktop: open Gmail, click the gear, then See all settings. On the General tab, find Smart Features, uncheck it, scroll down and Save. Then I learned that was only half of it.

  Yesterday I focused on one app. Today I want to show how much every platform that you wouldn't expect is included in the Illinois "social media" tax will have to pay [see math at bottom, some rough estimates] Gmail: $24,060,000/year Strava: $312,000 Goodreads: $312,000 Tripadvisor: $47,820,000 Proton email (EXEMPT bc nonprofit): $600,000 Math: each takes from est U.S. monthly users, Illinois has 12.6M people, US 350. So x/[monthly US users] * 12.6/350, then following math from bill [in screenshot] For apps like Gmail to collect user data regardless of monthly login (assume people get emails/have app on their phone/privacy policy makes this likely) I assume accordingly. Remember—it's charged NOT per monthly active user but per "the number of Illinois users from whom the social media platform collects data within a month." Full math: Gmail - Montly active US users:130000000, IL users:4680000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:2005000, Cost for IL law/Year:24060000 Proton - Montly active US users:15000000, IL users:540000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:50000, Cost for IL law/Year:600000 notes: (VERY rough estimate) Strava - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: 50M monthly, 20% in US Goodreads - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: (ROUGH ballpark based on avail data, 50M monthly active, 20% in US) TripAdvisor - Montly active US users:240000000, IL users:8640000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:3985000, Cost for IL law/Year:47820000 notes: 400M montly active US users, US Accounts for 60%ish
