Chris Pirillo engagement report
@ChrisPirillo - 99K followers on X
Measured over 37 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 20, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 99K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 14% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.6K times each, and 0.369% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.64% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 30% carry an image or video and 59% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.6K interactions, about 933x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Chris Pirillo's engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 20% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.006%, Chris Pirillo sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

SITUATION DETECTED: The U.S. is preparing to tell dozens of countries they must choose a side in the AI competition with China. Those that join Beijing’s AI framework will be excluded from the U.S. led Pax Silica initiative, according to an internal draft letter seen by Reuters.

Celebrating small wins is hardwired into "Achieve," our goal-tracking sample app. We wanted the simple act of checking off a task to feel like a celebration. Instead of the standard #Material ripple, we used Styles to drop in a custom, high-contrast completion animation—specifically, a brand-colored ring that expands and fades on tap, paired with a subtle pressed-state gradient. It lets us focus entirely on polishing those custom, rewarding micro-interactions while Material handles the foundation. #GoogleDesign #MaterialDesign #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev #UXDesign #InteractionDesign

This guy lost the lid to his coffee grinder. Instead of ordering a replacement he asked Codex to make one. One prompt. "Make me a CAD design to replace the hopper lid for my 2012 Baratza Encore. Do all the research yourself. This must be perfect in one shot." 20 minutes later Codex came back with a complete CAD package. Print-ready STL. Editable STEP. Dimensioned drawing. It researched the original parts catalog, found conflicting measurements online and resolved them, extracted dimensions from an existing 3D model, designed a tolerance-friendly fit, optimized it for printing, and validated everything automatically. He printed it. Perfect fit. First try. A physical object that fits perfectly came out the other side. AI is not replacing engineers. It's giving everyone access to engineering.

What do you know about the algorithm? Well, maybe @georgiagemo can help you learn... along with Jimothy! Yes, whether you consider yourself "technical" or "I have no idea what I'm doing with computers," I bet we'll be able to show you how to create your own application quickly at the next ctrl+alt+create live event coming up on August 29th!

My 3D printing "hack" is... to use LEGO brick separators to remove filament from your plates. Works like a charm (and better than damn near anything else I've tried - without damage to anything). https://t.co/X8mFopcNjP

If you live in the Seattle area but specifically in Redmond, Bellevue, Issaquah, Renton, the general East Side... and you're interested in AI and vibe coding... want to get together for a meet up (yes, on the east side)? I've got the perfect time and place for us. For show & tell, networking, sharing tips / learning. Yes? Let me know.

At some point in the recent past, Claude started talking / writing / coding in British English. I kept correcting it, over and over. Today, it caught something in a skill scan by happenstance and I wondered... did British English somehow seep into a skill? Yeah, and it spread like wildfire. Not quite a virus, but... man, that was making me exhibit angry behaviou... behavior. I was right to push back.

- What is Chris Pirillo's engagement rate on X?
- Chris Pirillo (@ChrisPirillo) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 37 original posts from the last 30 days against 99,420 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.006%, Chris Pirillo sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @ChrisPirillo have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @ChrisPirillo post?
- Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.6 posts per day across the measured window.
