My progress in 2 days: ✅ Added special levels with a jump mechanic. ✅ Experimented with the camera's rotation. ✅ Made more levels, up to level 10. Going to make a new theme for the next levels 🔥 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

This week felt slow, but progress is still progress. Consistency beats motivation.

Dev reality: 1. Fix one bug 2. Create two new ones

Most beginner devs focus on learning tools. What actually matters: - Finishing projects - Debugging skills - Problem solving Tools change. These don’t.

You can get a prototype done in an hour. Start building now.

Anyone who is copying and pasting code from a browser, switch to use AI within your IDE. Not perfect, but great for AI knowing what the rest of your code looks like.

@0xPrajwal_ How big is your project? I use it for small apps and don’t have any problems :)

We pay $200/month for Claude just to hit the limit in under an hour what are we even paying for??💀

@aryanlabde Where’s $20 Claude, I use it every day and never hit the limits!

As a vibe coder, which plan are you on right now? - $20 codex - $100 codex - $200 claude

@sflorimm 2 and 4 because it leads to unfinished products 1 and 3 just mean it takes a bit longer

What’s more dangerous for founders? -building too slowly -building the wrong thing -waiting for perfection -running out of motivation

@nico_jeannen I think the people on X are also on Fiverr/Upwork

Im never hiring ppl from X again 💀 Tried hiring motion designer for a video for a 30s video > Found someone on X who shared nice videos > Slightly more $$ as other quotes I received, but portfolio looked good > I want to be easy to work with, so I pay in advance, no hard deadline, trusted him to do its job properly Result: >0 communication, have to babysit every little thing >garbage result I can't use > ok maybe instructions not clear enough? > Sent exact mockup of what I needed > Still didn't follow what I asked for 💀 Lesson learned lol, I'll use Fiverr/Upwork next time The bar is so low, why can't people just do what they paid for? How do you find people who can actually do their job and follow instructions? 🥲

@CodeWithAmann Vercel for beginners definitely

As a developer, which one is the best hosting platform?

@Namecheap I hope so!!

@CyberNooo Thanks! Your first domain is probably waiting for the right moment 😄

hey devs, where do you usually buy your domains? 1. GoDaddy 2. Namecheap 3. Cloudflare 4. Porkbun 5. Dynadot 6. Squarespace 7. Hostinger 8. Other

@haukejung Sounds like hard work, me too 👍

Hey there 👋 I'm Hauke, former software engineer now indie hacker building in public. Shipping three SaaS products solo, continuous learn and build new stuff. I'd love to connect with: - Founders - Indie hackers - Devs (Rust folks, holla) - Marketers - AI builders - Anyone building cool stuff If you're on a similar path, just say hi 🚀

@BacLeodiv It’s not much different from a CEO

If AI wrote most of your code, do you feel shameless calling yourself a founder?

@immasiddx Yep, that’s just because the general public is more aware of ChatGPT, and it has always advertised itself as a general AI rather than anything specific like coding. I’m pretty sure it would have more paid users too.

ChatGPT vs Claude weekly users. It’s not even close. 😭

You’re building a game, but the game feels boring. Do you: A) Add more mechanics B) Add more polish/juice C) Redesign core gameplay What would you do?

Spend more time tweaking “feel” than adding features. It matters more than you'd expect.

@justddev I’ve been realising this too! Not even just games but small utility apps as well

simple iOS games are so underrated there are dozens of sudoku apps doing $10k+/mo it’s such a simple idea: - huge audience - works across multiple age groups - easy to make more appealing with features, themes or progression systems and the best part is you don’t even need a paywall you can literally ship something like this with Anything and monetize it with subtle ads for hints or extra features

Guess the output!

Common mistake: Overengineering early. You don’t need a “scalable system” for a project no one is using yet.
