ChatGPT rolled out some kind of year in review thing today, and this was the reward I got from it. I'm not sure what it's going for here...

pulled this from a newsletter, seems interesting, going to have to try it. What do you all think? Does it hit all the boxes? Let Claude Code do your app security Making sure your “vibe coded” app is secure, stable, and hacker-proof, is essential if you want to launch real applications even as a non developer. The goal is to let AI do the heavy lifting but you need to point it in the right direction. So here’s what you need to be aware of: ✅API routes security → are api routes on the server-side and not exposed on the client-side, meaning anyone can view them and manipulate them? ✅Hard-coded API keys → api keys should be securely stored in the .env or server-side (Vercel) fro peoduction ✅Input validation & sanitization → are you checking if the input (length and type) being typed in by the user in forms, AI features, and across the app is valid? ✅Rate limiting → are you limiting the amount of requests per minute your users can do? ✅No auth on internal endpoints → make sure all endpoints have authentication protection ✅Debug code logged to console → do you have debug snippets showing in the console? And here’s what you should do next: 1. Go to GrokAI and ask it to give you the most important things to do to secure your nextjs, react native, or other application, and give the examples above 2. Open Cursor and open the Claude Code extension (you need to install it first) 3. Type /init so the agent creates an overview of your codebase in a CLAUDE.md file 4. Ask it to run a deep security assessment of the project considering the best practices detailed by GrokAI, and instruct it to write everything up split in phases in a new security-assessment.md doc 5. Open a Cursor chat with GPT5.1-Codex-Max in PLAN mode, and ask to read the security-assessment.md doc and create a detailed implementation plan for phase 1 6. Sit back and relax – it will start implementing the changes and instruct you what to do on your end (setting up external services like Upstash Redis and QStash…) 7. IMPORTANT: Commit and push the changes to your GitHub repository 8. Move on to phase 2 and repeat the process from step 5-7

Please share a link to someone you has found good content around building apps. It doesn't necessarily have to be coding, it could me marketing, launching, raising funds, UX, graphic design, project management and on and on and on...you get the idea. There are so many elements that go into building something. Please write a quick sentence on why you like the channel, and one thing you would change (IN A CONSTRUCTUVE MANNER!!!) I'll start... This is Greg Isenberg I like the face that he puts out a wide range of content with a lot of guests and different aspects of building an app I would change some of his guests' tendency to breeze over how complicated it is to make apps. Sure you can claim that AI Studio spun up a wireframe to an app in 30 minutes, but that's really just the beginning. There's so much more

We spent decades learning what actually works. We know how to validate markets, build products, acquire customers, scale teams, and navigate complexity. We've made other people rich doing it. and we're the first ones cut when times get tough. There has to be another way. Not another corporate job, not another startup lottery ticket, and not going solo and grinding ourselves into the ground. What if we used our skills to build FOR OURSELVES? No investors to impress. No executives to please. No layoffs when the market turns. This is the place to build it. I don't have all the answers yet. But I know we're smarter together than any of us are alone. If you're here, you're probably tired too. And you probably know how to build things that matter. Let's figure this out together. Drop a comment: What brought you here? What are you hoping to build?

I'm sure everyone has at least one idea they think could change the world, if they could just figure out how to bring it to reality. I call that a white whale because it feels like an obsession that we can never catch. What's your whale? I'll go first. I've always wanted to create an app that can manage my social calendar like a personal assistant. I'm really, really bad at scheduling time with friends and colleagues, so over time I let my connections stagnate. I wish I had something that could just be responsible for making sure that I'm taking at least 30 minutes a day to have a 1 on 1 with someone from my network. The tool would need to make sure I'm properly spreading out my time but also creating meaningful opportunity to stay connected. Comment below, tell me something you have always wished existed, some tool that could improve you life or your business or your relationships.
