@ayushon_twt Giant tech apps honestly blow my tiny little mind

@d4m1n For any Jira haters 👇 ifuckinghatejira.com

☝️ nobody should be forced to create a JIRA account, that is a crime and will not go unpunished

someone has to say this: 👉 writing requirements in Cursor is not as fun as coding :/ Am I doing it wrong?

@mpoweredo I'm mainly building my product because I want it, if other people like it then that's a plus 🙂

@SMSarwar47 It's all true. Even my reviewers with AI generated pictures giving me 5⭐ on my unreleased SAAS projects. You just don't hustle enough to understand the grind.

A disciplined person can easily see through your bulsh*t.

How are you all launching your mobile apps? Just good app store SEO? Landing pages? Or something different?

@nizzyabi Even me, even you, we're all just CRUDing our way through life

everything is an api

@ericdjav Good advice, I can definitely see time management becoming an issue without routines.

@HarryThomsonDev Great man, I’d say establish optimal routines during your trips

I’m 32. Not married. Not millionaire. No big house. No big title. But I’m free. I make money my way. I travel the world. And I live on my terms. Never let someone else define what your dream life should be.

@_devJNS It depends, if I'm learning something new the noise normally clutters my brain but if I'm flowing music helps the time pass and keeps my energy high

coding in silence > coding with music agree?

@erencodes Yeah and I've never felt cooler than the first time I got the computer to print it 😎

we all started here... right?

Some days I’m ready to take on the world. Some days I can’t center a div. Just one dev building full stack apps from cafés, offices, and bed. Not even at 1 MRR, but I’m showing up daily. #SoloDev #BuildInPublic #FullStackDev #OneDayAtATime

@alexsssaint What I'd my 9-5 is coding 🤔

be honest: do you love coding? or do you just want to “make it” and escape your 9-5?

@trikcode I've been in this career 5 years and I still feel like a junior sometimes. Progress isn't linear and it feels like technology changes the moment you catch up with it, but that's half the fun!

At what point did you stop feeling like a "junior" developer?

@sagevedant SQLite for prototyping the Postgres when I'm ready to go async. But then I hate myself because changing the tests to use Postgres from Sqlite is a headache

- MongoDB - MySQL - PostgreSQL - SQLite which database do you use for your projects ??

@mohammadfahad_ Nice what's your tech stack and are you using flatlists for your pagination/infinite scrolling?

Was a bit busy so didn't get time to post, here's a quick update on the wallpaper app I've been building. Splash screen & home screen completed ✅ Added pagination for better ux. ✅ Added Sharing & downloading functionality. ✅ #buildinpublic #reactnative #expo #fullstack

@No1SoftwareDev @reactjs @Firebase @tailwindcss I've been an active CSS hater for years now but tailwind is truly a game changer, I'd love to know if you think the same!

I have finished building a #FrontEnd project using @reactjs @Firebase and now I am planning to add @tailwindcss to my tech stack just to push my limits and expand my knowledge on the frontend side.

@panikvvv Each book has a unique number on the barcode, I extract that number with the camera then send it off to an external API to pull the details about the book

@panikvvv Scan book barcodes, build a collection, track stats

You have ten words to explain what you're building. What are you gonna say?
