React isn't slow. Your mental model is

Taking on too many responsibilities leads to burnout not promotions. Learn to push back and protect your calendar

Stop obsessing over DRY. Duplicating code a few times is vastly superior to creating the wrong abstraction early on

The meeting could've been a message. It wasn't

@mohittwwt @Sheetal2205 Check out there are subreddit for this

@Sheetal2205 12 people 14 days is the hardest part, from where do i even bring 5 people😂

This is my first time publishing an app on the Play Store. At my previous company, I heard that Google can be quite strict and often rejects apps. Is that the case for everyone, or do simpler apps usually get approved more easily?

Buying another course feels productive. Finishing a project is what actually moves your career. Most people avoid the second part

The user clicked the button twice and created duplicate records. Guess we are adding a disabled state to every button in the app again

@Hiteshdotcom Do you have any framework or guidelines on how you give feedbacks?

@SushantDotDev Evaluation is comparatively lower in price as compared to feedback on every submission.

People really don’t understand true cost of AI. AI is expensive but it gives speed. Lower quality can be cheaper but most people prefer higher quality. Per user cost for hackathon evaluation can easily go in range of 3000-5000 rupees. A multi track hackathon is even more expensive. Any bad actor submission can 10x the price of that user. We need to do more hackathons to understand it more. It’s one of its kind product. For any hackathon, it involves traveling, stay and so many more expenses. We want to bring that right at home. Community, chats, audio rooms and quick transparent evaluation with personal feedback for everyone, this is not done in any hackathon. Aapko b pta h kitne hackathon me projects dekhe b nhi jaate n that’s understandable with volume. It’s fun to solve such problems. Stay tuned, more hackathons are coming up soon. Another surprising factor is dollar cost as all model pricing is in dollars 🫣 But jo b ho, it’s fun to build.

@yashhq_22 enough features, good enough distribution

Which one is actually needed for an early stage SaaS? - more features - more distribution

@NalinisKitchen this kind of local accountability is powerful, even simple scorecards of work done can shift behavior.

In Surat right now, something really good is happening. Videos are out. Corporator elections are going on, and when candidates come begging for votes, people are demanding answers. They are asking what work they have actually done and want clear answers. Otherwise, they are not even allowing them to enter their societies. This is happening with everyone, whether they are from the BJP, Congress, or AAP. I really like that people are asking questions. Politicians should always fear the public.

@sukhdeep7896 Sometimes leaders are rewarded for communication and packaging, not just execution

They promoted a guy on my team for “outstanding leadership.” Literal. He joined just 3 months ago. Barely did any work. Last week we pulled an all-nighter on a massive project - team stayed till 3 a.m. He left at 7 p.m. for “family commitments.” Next morning he presented our slides in the big client meeting. Boss beaming: “This is the kind of initiative we need!” Teammate whispered: “Bro… you didn’t even open the file.” After the meeting, manager said: “Great job everyone… but especially [Name]. His leadership made this happen.” I spoke up: “He literally just changed the title slide.” Awkward silence. Two days later - he got promoted. HR reason: “Strong ownership and executive presence.” We got: “Keep up the great team spirit ” Is this normal now?

Hardcoded a value for a quick fix. Months later nobody remembered it existed and it caused a silent bug

@eacheftal what kind of problems will this role spend most of the time on day to day?

I'm hiring the most important role, Product Engineer. Works directly with me. You'll own DX, decide what we ship, and build it alongside eng. Curious, generalist, quality-obsessed, lives in Claude Code. Title doesn't matter. TASTE DOES! DM me.

@razvanfotia What if someone values stability over passion, does that make it a bad choice?

The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. It's why I can't understand choosing to either work for a business or start a business you aren't in love with. Work literally becomes life. Might as well enjoy it.

@sergeynazarovx This is so real, marketing humbles you fast! and once you face this, you start building with distribution in mind from day one

The deeper you get into marketing your app, the more you realize how delusional you were and how long you’ve been procrastinating

@joshuamschultz cloud bill went from startup mode to indie hacker mode real quick 😭

Someone just migrated from DigitalOcean to Hetzner. Same production workload. 30 MySQL databases. 248GB of data. Hundreds of thousands of users. Bill went from $1,432/month to $233/month. New machine is MORE powerful. 96 CPUs. 256GB DDR5. NVMe RAID. $14,388 saved per year. This is happening everywhere.

@Divyansh91565 Sounds like insecurity flexing through his kid’s result. bhai chill rehna, cousin ko congrats bolna aur uncle ki comparison wali baat pe bas smile karke ignore kar dena

today jee results came out and my cousin scored around 98.9 percentile. i'm genuinely happy for him, he did really well. but i don't like his father at all. we are not even close, we barely talk except at weddings, and still he always finds a way to compare his son with me. like i'm older than him, there is literally no need for comparison. today he called himself just to tell us the result and said he's coming tomorrow with motichoor laddus. i already know what this is about. he just wants to make my dad feel like his son is better than me. like i'm studying in a state govt college and his son is going to an nit. bro he has been in a reputed coaching institute since 11th and even took a drop year. it's not like this came out of nowhere. anyways, gotta deal with him tomorrow.

@Akshat_World bhai social media pe sab crorepati lagte hain, reality me log basic savings ke liye struggle kar rahe

India: - 88% population has less than 10L in net-worth. - 94% has less than 50L net-worth. - 98.5% has less than 1Cr net-worth. Getting to 1Cr is extremely rare. So don't let the internet fool you. If you have built 1Cr wealth, you have achieved something exceptional. Maybe you can/cannot retire on this wealth. But, since you CAN achieve exceptional things, you are likely to do well in life.

@kylegawley distribution > product > tools, most people get the order wrong

90% of indie hackers make $0 Because they care too much about the latest AI tools, frameworks and trends None of this stuff matters

@Layton_Gott Historically new tech kills some roles but creates others, the gap is usually reskilling speed

If you're retired right now, you're one of the luckiest people alive... You worked in an economy where jobs existed for regular people. The next generation won't have that. AI is eating the entry-level. The middle is shrinking. The jobs that survive will pay insane money to the small group who lands them. Everyone else is going to have to build their own thing.
