A hackathon with a $100K first prize and a $99 entry fee. The winner is the app that makes the most money in 30 days. Is that a contest or a business model? Marc Lou says the fee is "the ticket to enter the contest". We are not so sure.
Aivars also explains why he stopped streaming: you need to be a top player or a very entertaining person, and he says he is neither. We talk about why strong opinions get views, Asmongold and reaction content, and why we still start with native iOS.
Also in this episode:
- Discord's Rust rewrite and a 1-second launch on macOS
- Kotlin Multiplatform for shared business logic
- a teleprompter app with huge views, and AI voices vs our accents
- Bouncer, Paweł's free Mac app that pauses AI agents when RAM runs low
- T3 Code, running agents on a Linux box, and coding from your phone
- the $200 Claude plan, the Codex app, and is Fable 5.2 a minor upgrade?
