- Kimi K2 Thinking was already smarter than ChatGPT. Now, it is faster than ChatGPT.
00:00 - I love posts about making thousands of dollars on @gumroad as much as the next creator but... Today I sold 2 copies of Writing for Software Developers. That's 72 dollars. Today I also bought exactly 72 dollars of groceries, to the penny. Somehow, this feels more concrete.
- I'm super excited to join Gumroad! Inspired by @dvassallo's example, I sent Sahil this email a week ago today. (Daniel's email: x.com/dvassallo/stat…) What sealed the deal? A 6,000 word writeup delivered 24 hours before the interview with initial work product for the role.
- Writing for Software Developers is available now! I have been working on this book for almost six months and I'm so excited to finally share it with everyone. philipkiely.com/wfsd
- Products bought with personal credit cards exist at hundreds of meaningful price points. Products bought with business credit cards exist at two: up to a threshold that requires a manager's approval, and over that threshold.
- How I Became the Quarter-Time Head of Marketing at @gumroad as a New Grad SWE ft. @dvassallo and @shl Too long for a thread so check it out here: philipkiely.com/essays/gumroad… Tl;DR: built context over many months, sent the world's warmest cold email, did the job, got the job.
- After reviewing the data, here are the three key tactics that helped me sell $17,272 and counting of Writing for Software Developers since May 12th. philipkiely.com/wfsd A thread 👇
- Want to make money writing about code? Last night, I put together a table of 42 publishers who pay for technical content. whopaystechnicalwriters.com Please let me know what features you'd like to see on the site and which publishers are missing from the list.
- Personal Update: I'm stepping down as Head of Marketing at Gumroad to pursue independent business ventures. Stay tuned for the end of this month when I'll be publishing the results of the winter break internship program I ran. Further updates on Feb 1 and March 1!
- Llama 4 (Maverick) easily one-shots my Brick Breaker vibe check Output speed for 700+ words felt on par with ChatGPT/Claude on a good day using vLLM, excited to see how much faster we can run it!
00:00 - Every month or so I fill out a form and get a free book in the mail from @stripepress because I gave @stripe Atlas $50 a year ago to make me a LLC (limited time student discount). The information in these books has changed the entire trajectory of my career & life. Thank you.
- There's a lot to be excited about with Qwen 3: - Fits on 4xH100 - 1/4 the cost of DeepSeek-R1 in production - "Hybrid thinking" makes reasoning optional - Continues the Qwen tradition of being great at coding Deployment w/ SGLang + vibe check in the video!
