Most Spring Boot file upload tutorials work great... ...until real users start uploading files together and your server starts fighting for its life. Tested uploads under real load and documented the bottlenecks here: buildbasekit.com/blogs/spring-b…

@divyaporwal_ WFH made a lot of people realize they were exhausted from “going to work” more than the actual work itself.

My friend told me, “I can earn a few lakhs less, but I need a WFH policy. I cannot do 5 days from office.” And honestly… very relatable. WFH feels more productive, can relax, focus, and work without spending hours in traffic, getting ready, and commuting.

@nirajxdev We’re automating code generation faster than we’re automating code understanding. That gap is going to hurt a lot of teams.

We're entering a weird era in tech. Companies are celebrating how quickly software can be generated while completely ignoring how difficult it is becoming to maintain. Every week more code is produced, more complexity is added, and fewer people understand what's actually running underneath. The industry is obsessed with acceleration right now. Eventually it's going to remember that speed without direction is just another way to get lost faster.

@sonofalli Because “hard launch” sounds like a startup selling protein powder and crypto courses.

why do we call it an IPO and not a hard launch

@Brenda__Patrick The posts you almost delete usually sound the most human. That’s why they work.

You see that post. The one that sounds too honest. Too specific. Too much like admitting you don't have everything figured out. Post it anyway. That’s the kind of content that builds trust. People don’t connect with polished perfection. They connect with brands that understand their pain points- because they’ve been there, too. And more often than not, the things you hesitate to say are exactly what someone out there needs to hear.

@alexabelonix The hardest part of burnout recovery is accepting that focus feels slower at first. But scattered energy is usually what caused the burnout in the first place.

Build in public Last week of recovering from burnout > dive deeper in my goals and started to build a strategy to achieve them > realised that I was soo distractive because I want to have everything at once > success requires focus > currently I cut EVERY damn noise. only me, only my thoughts, preparing for the future executions > my biggest dream is to make a post in the BUILD IN PUBLIC community like “folks, I did it, my MRR is …” —————— 3h of psychotherapy 1h of CrossFit 1h of yoga Sauna Cold shower Meditation —————— protein, creatine, iron, magnesium

@Dev_JesseMaduka My productivity would survive. My confidence while coding? Absolutely not.

If ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Codex disappeared for 30 days... Would your productivity survive? 😭

@NdomSarah99918 Frontend workflow: add CSS remove CSS refresh accept fate.

@buildbasekit Add, remove, refresh, pray. The frontend workflow 😭

Frontend developers spend 50% of their time building features and the other 50% wondering why a div moved 2px to the left

@nishithX26 2AM debugging turns developers into philosophers.

@buildbasekit Exactly my point ☝️

as a developer, what time is good for coding?

Backend developers love saying “works on my machine” like their machine isn’t a carefully handcrafted emotional support environment.

@IamAroke “What’s something that frustrates engineers here right now?” You learn more from that answer than from half the interview 😭

The scariest question in any interview? 'Do you have any questions for us?' What's your golden response?

@codespicious Most people overestimate how much they can do in a week. And massively underestimate what happens when they keep shipping for a year.

A year from now you'll wish you had started today. Write the code. Ship the project. Apply for the job.

@Tech_girlll Most developers don’t care which model generated the code. They care whether they still have to spend 3 hours debugging it afterwards 😭

Why are people so obsessed with which AI model someone uses? Isn’t the point to get the job done? If the outcome is good, what exactly are we arguing about?

@louisfoweraker Honestly the weird part is people bottling platforms built around “being social” 😭 You can farm impressions all day, but one real convo with a developer actually building something is worth more than 1,000 bot replies.

@buildbasekit Yeah forealll I don't really see the point of bottling Threads tbh or X

I'm having more success on Threads than here 😂 Full of bots tho...

@AlkaVerma56 Agree, but only if they're using AI to learn, not just copy-paste. The real gap isn't AI access. It's how quickly someone can turn AI output into actual skills.

2026 reality check: The biggest gap between junior developers isn't talent anymore. It's AI adoption. One junior uses Cursor, Claude and ChatGPT daily. The other doesn't. Six months later, they look like they're years apart. Agree or disagree? 👇

@Palakonweb At this point every app is trying to become everything. YouTube started as videos, now it's shorts, music, podcasts, TV, and apparently a gaming platform too. 😅

Damnn. YouTube added a huge update Mini games way better than the brain rot shorts

@itsmoni_02 The scary part is that "kal se" feels harmless in the moment. A year later, it's called regret.

“Kal se start karunga.” You laughed. Your friends laughed too. Then one day you looked back and realized… Some of the biggest opportunities in life were lost between “today” and “kal se.”

@0xleegenz Meanwhile he's already achieved inbox zero, no standups, and a 100% work-life balance. 😭🍻

“It’s so good to have a stable job” Also me when I see a homeless guy drinking at 9 AM on a Monday:

@_JohnBuilds_ A lot of "productivity" is just procrastination with better branding. Nothing exposes that faster than shipping something. 😄

Is "productivity" just a fancy word for "avoiding the hard, messy parts"? 🤔 Thinking about how much time gets sunk into *planning* instead of *doing*.

@alexabelonix This is why I like developer tools and boilerplates. They solve a real problem today, generate revenue, and can fund the bigger vision tomorrow.

If you’re brave enough to build a startup, here’s what you should know Day 160: A great startup insight often sounds like: We can fund the hard thing by selling something useful along the way. That is powerful. It reduces dependence on investors. It creates proof. It buys time. Revenue can be the best fundraising strategy.
