@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. 🤣

@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. 🤣

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.

@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.

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!

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!

@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. 🤣

@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 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.

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

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