Jason @ Tarvent

@opieaccount4 @shekhu04 Must be a rough life to be problem-free. Let's trade! I bet if you raise your bar, or grow older and have less patience, you'll have problems. 🤣

@206mph @shekhu04 i have no problems tho :(

Every idea feels taken Every API already exists Every SaaS has 12 competitors So what do we even build now????

@GeekyAkshat04 @boxmining @TarventInc Followed. Can you share more?

@206mph @boxmining @TarventInc Hey I am also into building and Saas Let's connect and grow together

Hey builders, Looking to connect with people building in: 🪙 Crypto 🛠️ SaaS 🚀 Tech 💻 Full Stack 🧠 AI tools for growth 🤳 Content Creation 📱 Product Development 📈 Marketing Drop what you're working on👇

@TarventInc is a perfect example. There are a lot of email marketing platforms out there, but none of them provide guidance based on engagement over time, with warnings of contacts going dormant or unsubscribing. It's not easy to build, but we're doing it, and it's awesome! I have a few other ideas in the fitness area, but I won't share. 😁 You only grow when you figure out a way to get past the hard stuff. Keep pushing, and you'll figure it out. Dang it! I sound like a dad. I am one, but wasn't trying to sound like one. 🤣

@206mph @shekhu04 Give me some examples.

I see so many posts asking why developers are needed now that AI can code. Here's a perfect example that I just ran into: I needed to create a fingerprint to store in REDIS, including a long string that would be part of the REDIS key. AI thought that was okay. I told it to use a hash instead to keep the key short. It fixed it, but use SHA256. This isn't a security issue, just a fingerprint of an event. Luckily, I caught it and changed it to MD5. This is a perfect example of why you should learn to code and not be satisfied with being a vibecoder. It may be fine for a while, but your real work value is learning to code. AI didn't know that what it first generated was wrong. It worked. However, I knew it was wrong and fixed it for long-term performance. Developers still have value. Don't give in to the hype!

@ecomchasedimond The rules are solid, but there is a 7th rule that should come first: segmentation. Before writing, you need to know the audience you are sending to, then apply the rest of your rules, which again are solid and should be followed.

6 Important Email Marketing Rules:

@uzair_dev_ All the above, plus DBA, network engineer, sales, business lead, etc. That's what happens when you learn quickly, get bored easily, never say "no" to a challenge, and are never afraid of accountability.

What type of developer are you? - Frontend - Backend - Full stack - DevOps

Week 6 recap: Most send strategy problems are sequencing problems in disguise. We're excited! This makes it so easy for our customers. Next week: lifecycle stages and why “New” is a different job than “Cold.” #Tarvent #BuildInPublic #Engagement #EmailMarketing #MarketingStrategy #MarketingOps

That's pretty cool. I'm jealous that your HRV average is >50ms. I use a Garmin Fenix 8, which already reports and summarizes most of this stuff, but it's cool you have that automated in AI. It will be nice once glucose levels and blood pressure can be tracked to get a much clearer picture. Tie that with quarterly labs, and you're definitely on your way to a healthier life!

Morning health checkin with Claude. Let's keep on track 💪

Week 6, part 4 (practical): Starter cadence: Hot = primary sends Warm = primary + selective nurture Cold = lighter frequency tests Inactive = reactivation first Quick note: The engagement system is coming along nicely and showing real value. We're super excited! #Tarvent #BuildInPublic #Engagement #EmailMarketing #RetentionMarketing #LifecycleMarketing

@livingdevops I bet he was easier to work with than Steve Jobs too! Props to Ritchie.

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant. - No VC funding. - No viral launch. - No TED talk. - Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve. He built a language that fit in kilobytes. 50 years later, it runs everything. Linux kernel. Windows. macOS. Every iPhone. Every Android. NASA’s deep space probes. The International Space Station. > Python borrowed from it. > Java borrowed from it. > JavaScript borrowed from it. If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow. He died in 2011. The same week as Steve Jobs. Jobs got the front pages. Ritchie got silence. This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

@ThePeterMick My wife makes these with cottage cheese, protein powder, oats, flaxseed, and a few other things. They taste almost exactly the same but are much healthier. Some light maple syrup, and happy vibes commence!

Pancake anyone?

pitch me your startup with 0 words.

@christiangori96 I don't know you, but you speak the truth. Building is easy, marketing is the hard part!

Start marketing today. Trust me.

@rxhit05 To FIND a painful problem to solve? That implies you have to put in effort. Just wake up and start working. As a founder, it won't take long. 🤣

Founders and devs, what is the best way to find a painful problem to solve?

@hariprasad_bg Vibe coding. I don't see how vibe coding can ever give a company a viable exit strategy. I'm willing to be wrong, but I don't think I am.

What is the biggest lie in AI? I’ll go first: “It’s going to take your job.” What’s yours?

@deepacodex Azure. Lots and lots of Azure resources to make @TarventInc work.

Where are you deploying your frontend these days?

@S_N_SH_E_ I'm with @ThisIsBhandari. I don't have ADHD, but it feels like I do. I should probably go get it, so I have it. 🤣

What usually slows you down the most while coding? – Poor documentation – Dependency issues – Environment setup – Unexpected bugs – Your own skill issue 😭

Customers tell us what they need (most of the time). Next, we ask a lot of questions to understand the core ask, then build to exceed expectations. What customers ask for and what they mean aren't always the same. It's always best to be curious and never accept things at face value.

Do you talk to users before you build Or only after some feedback?

@dev_maims Good point. 10x faster, means 10x more scope creep. Ah, the joys of programming, customers, and business needs.

Everyone claims AI makes them code 10× faster, but almost no one is shipping 10× more products.

@xoaanya C# and SQL, to name a couple. AI doesn't make me a programmer. Instead, AI makes me a more efficient programmer.

If Al tools disappeared tomorrow, which programming languages would you still be confident coding in??
