OpenAI will start showing ads in ChatGPT for logged-in adult U.S. users on Free and Go plans.

📢 Ads are clearly labeled, appear only at the bottom of chats, and do not influence responses. OpenAI says conversations aren’t sold to advertisers, and ad personalization can be turned off.

Vibe coding only works when you know what you’re doing.

On large projects, you can’t just rely on tools and hope for the best.

To even “vibe code,” you need to understand programming and the problem you’re solving.

As engineers, our job is to think first, understand the problem,
be clear about the expected outcome, and make the right trade-offs.

AI can help us write code faster,
but the logic, judgment, and responsibility still come from us.

Anyway, have a productive weekend:)

A fake VS Code extension is spreading malware across developer tools.

One plugin infects every IDE on the system, then installs a RAT and data stealer. It uses native Zig code to bypass sandbox limits and runs with full OS access.

So The other day, I was accepted into the YC Founder Academy online program, which inspired me to consider whether we can truly build meaningful ventures and achieve our objectives.

This is what I intend to explore and validate. Moving forward, I will share valuable insights and document my journey here. Let us proceed.

I curently have 3 products as an idea and also some that I started building so let's see what will happen🙃

my friend @fuadbuild started his channel. He is the one of best developer and he is working on his startup, so go give him a follow

24 hours. Zero limits. 🚀

Me and @fuadbuild are officially in the lab until 6:00. We’re pushing the limits of "vibe coding" with the Replit Agent to see just how fast we can turn a wild idea into a fully functional project.

Replit is wide open today, so the gloves are off. Stay tuned for the reveal! 💻✨

🔖 here’s what I cooked. Ethiopian Heritage Trail is a QR-code-based mobile tourism app that turns exploring Ethiopia's historic landmarks into an interactive journey. Travelers scan QR codes placed at real-world sites — from the National Museum in Addis Ababa to the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela — and the app uses GPS proximity verification to confirm you're actually there before unlocking rewards. Each visit earns points and adds a named badge to your Digital Passport, a personal collection that grows as you travel.
