Noah Kagan Shares Prompt Scoring X Posts Against Platform Ranking Weights

Noah Kagan shares a prompt that scores X posts using what he says are the platform's open-source ranking weights, claiming copied links count 40 times more than likes. He says it raised a Marc Lou post from 6/10 to 9.5/10 and drew 27K views.

Steal this prompt. I run every X post through it now.

It uses X's open-source ranking, where copying your link is weighted 40x a like.

"Score my X post 1 to 10 using X's ranking weights: copy link 20, reply 5, quote 5, DM share 5, follow 4, repost 1, like 0.5. Tell me which actions it will earn. Then rewrite it to earn a share or a reply. My post: [paste]"

It took my Marc Lou post from 6/10 to 9.5/10 (27K views).

The weights:
Someone copies your link: 20
Reply: 5 (+15 if you follow each other)
Quote: 5
DM'd to a friend: 5
New follow: 4
Repost: 1
Like: 0.5
Profile click: 0
Bookmark: not in the list

Cringe Bot is a team Grok Bot I created to find small problems with the stuff we build that makes our eyes twitch a little. It runs automatically 3x a week, does its own QA, and drops up to 5 findings per run with threaded screenshots.

It runs against our "marketing" website (cxo.dev), the custom app we built for our course, and a few other things. I take a quick look at the findings and have @DevinAI investigate and put up PRs for most of them.

ClaudeDevs announced that computer use and browser use toolsets are now built into the Python and TypeScript SDKs for Claude. The SDKs now run the action loop and dispatch clicks and keystrokes to drivers, replacing the custom loop developers previously wrote.

Computer use and browser use toolsets are now built into the Python and TypeScript SDKs for Claude.

The API tells you what Claude wants to click or type.

Previously, you had to write your own loop and map clicks and keystrokes to commands, but the SDKs now run the loop and send actions to drivers.

Someone on Reddit reverse-engineered their LG TV because the Plex app took 30 seconds to load

Built an entire native Plex client from scratch using Claude Code, Opus, and Fable.

Started in C, moved to Rust, ended up building his own OpenGL UI framework along the way

Same TV. Same hardware. Profile picker now loads in 3 seconds instead of 30. Runs at 60 fps. Supports 4K, Dolby Vision, Atmos. Fully open source

One person. One TV he was annoyed with. AI tools doing the work of an entire engineering team firmware reverse engineering, media playback, GPU profiling, shader optimization, UI architecture, all of it
