Want to become an indispensable developer? Build something from scratch. It's the fastest way to master design, user experience, and problem-solving

Don't guess what your users need Tracking user behavior tells you what they actually need Always let the data guide you

Most developers only focus on making things work Great developers focus on making things work for users.

Every developer should be learning design right now AI can write code, but can it design? Not really Mastering human-centered design gives you an edge in our competition against AI Learn to design

Your landing page is the most important part of your site. You could have the greatest product ever developed but if people can't quickly understand your product, they will leave

The only way to stand out as a developer is to create a T-Shaped skillset. Developers who combine deep coding skills with broad knowledge in UX, design, and product strategy stand head and shoulders above the competition. Stand out or be replaced by AI.

Building your own website is one of the best ways to grow as a developer. It challenges your technical skills and exposes you to design, product development, and business strategy. Taking on a solo project will skyrocket your growth as a developer

@flakyfarseer @TheProjectUnity I agree with you. I'm all for exploring the dream realm and using science and technology to do so, but part of me can't help but feel like this is an unnatural intervention in a beautiful process

@TheProjectUnity I just don't understand how a machine reading brain signals can process the depths of the unconscious. I agree with Jung regarding the unconscious transcending space/time (precognition; seeing into past/future). But tech can't penetrate into those depths. x.com/flakyfarseer/s…

The first ever (proven) communication between two human beings in dreams has been achieved by this company (REMspace)

@calvinducharme I was using @HappyGezim ImagineAPI Check it out here: imagineapi.dev

@MichaelKochDev PLEASE KING DROP SOURCE CODE FOR MIDJOURNEY API

Lord is this project complicated Figured out how to get images from midjourney API and display them underneath the part of the script that the visual is associated with now I am cleaning up the process getting to this point Getting chatGPT to respond exactly the way I want it to is by far the hardest part of this project

a digital product is an employee that never sleeps and is able to duplicate themselves as much as needed

once you realize everything is a risk and the risks that seem more scary are just the ones you understand less it becomes a lot easier taking the risks that you should be taking

You need to be going to networking events → Connected with other entrepreneurs → Potential for business collaboration → Energizing & motivating → Brainstorm new ideas → Grow your network You never know who you will meet at a networking event, could be life changing

don't start a tech startup if you don't want to do marketing

it takes a long time to become successful because if you got what you wanted right away you would instantly lose it patience brother, keep grinding

Theres a million ideas its the execution that matters and you're execution only gets better if you execute on ideas

obsessing over money makes you chase it obsessing over customers makes you attract it

The best problem you can have is struggling to find balance between activities that improve: → health → finances → relationships you should be struggling to find time to do all of the things that you want to do to improve your life

“Started programming at 13, 10k MRR by 16” Brother i was essentially retarded until I turned 22, how did you do this already?

@gratatouille23 going to networking events and always practicing selling myself and what I do

@MichaelKochDev True Michael, networking is a powerful component of entrepreneurship how are you doing that for yourself?

A HUGE part of entrepreneurialism that I didn't realize would be so big: Networking It's all about people at the end of the day, make sure you're putting yourself in a position to meet the right people

you must escape the indie hacker space it is an echo chamber where everyone is creating products for other indie hackers it's oversaturated take what you've learned from the community to a community you are actually passionate about and you will destroy the competition
