Projects, AI in hacking, and Working Hard

Table of contents

Another week working mainly with my new best friend, Claude. And such a week, I will probably need to jump into the $200 plan.

I love working on different projects and especially when it's a project that I care about, and it's currently the case. It's been a while since I was in this state of flow, doing a lot of great stuff, working during hours.

Projects

I'm working on two different kind projects. The first one is Kinen, the Read Later app to manage my knowledge. You can already try it here: https://kinen.app

I'm going to launch it soon, but I already use it every day. I used to pay for an app like that, and without a lot of features, just to manage my knowledge, articles and stuff. I find that it's important, especially nowadays, to store your knowledge somewhere. With the rise of AI, I know that I will need it someday.

And this app is just a little one that will be very useful for me ,and I hope for you too, so if you want to give it a try, feel free to give me your feedback.

Another project I'm working on is a website for runners. I was running last week, listening to a running podcast ( yes, I'm totally cooked ), and I was like, hm, there is nothing about a really nice community for runners, especially here in France.

We do have a lot of running clubs, working differently with different apps and stuff. You never know when it will happen or where. It's always a different app to register, etc...

So, I decided to build something for this. And I'm very happy about how it looks. I'm not going to release it now, still working on it, but it will be aired soon. It's a different kind of job, as it will mostly be a Marketing job, but as I'm pretty bad at that, it's a great opportunity.

I love how now it's so simple to go from idea to a proper project. A few years back, when I got an idea, working on it could take a lot of time, especially in coding, when you needed like a month to have a proper project with everything running fine.

Now with a Claude subscription and an evening, you can have anything online, and it works perfectly. Of course, it's not perfect, but it's so powerful. And in the next few years, anyone will be able to build their own project. It's amazing but also frustrating when you used to learn a lot before having something working.

And in the future, that's not people who can build stuff who will be rich, but mostly people taking the best opportunities and are capable of selling stuff, or resolving problems. And now, resolving problems using code is easy as fuck.

AI in Hacking

We recently saw a lot of articles talking about Anthropic using Opus 4.6 to find bugs, and not little bugs, but 0 days on big open-source projects running the internet. And it's very powerful.

So I decided to give it a try myself. As I already have the proper setup with my assistant, I just ask him to setup a chrome and do some research for me. I got a new private program on YesWeHack, and I gave him the scope, the url and the creds I got.

After a few minutes, my agents came back with a full report with a few IDORs, and other kinds of bugs. I was like, hm it's probably not working. But the bugs were there. And the IDORs were valid.

It wasn't hard IDORs to find, to be honest, but it was still able to find it when I was doing something else. I got a little bit scared at first.

And it's just like coding now, junior people and basic stuff will be totally covered by AI, and it's already the case. And only chains and other bugs that can be hard to find will stay, or you will need to be the first to find them.

So now, and it's my opinion, in order to make it work, I need to continue learning a lot and improving my skills. On the other side, continue to work on automating these bugs that can be found using AI, and building a whole stack that can handle these bugs and find them for me.

This year will be very interesting, and I'm still unsure about how it will go. But I'm sure I will continue working in this field as I love it, just maybe with a bunch of assistants working for me.

Working a lot

It's crazy how sometimes I can work like 10 hours a day, every day, when I'm on something. And sometimes, just working for an hour is fully boring. It's just a matter of momentum, I think, and now I'm in a good momentum.

I'm always looking to be in a flow state, as it helps a lot to be focused and work hard. And I try to think a lot about diversifying my revenues and my work, simply to manage the rise of AI, and how I can handle it.

I know that I can probably continue doing what I'm doing and doing it well. But I also love working on new projects and trying to improve myself in different paths.

I also soon have my 80km trail, and it's very hard mentally to maintain everything. Running for 10 hours is crazy. I don't know why I signed it up for that. But I will do it, even if I need to tell myself for 6 hours, "If you stop, you're a bitch". Actually, my Sundays are like hm go run for 4 or 5 hours in the forest with rain.

But it will end soon! And now I'm taking quite a week of pause ( still talking to my agents using phone when going to another city, chilling )
