Guess ill move off of Vercel for (unpaid) personal projects at this point.
I dont mind if people ask permission for this, and everyones free to make their own choices, but I am your funnel, not your product.
@Marco43896307 this set (sm:) is based on the width of the entire browser window. The one here is more interesting - it says "if this very div width is less than 300px no matter what is the reason of it"
@thdxr I feel like I’m learning that lesson multiple times over in real time. We got to used to asking “but what’s their moat?” and forgot about how large is the market? And what remains open to capture/convert?
there are so many successful companies in the world
they all use different programming languages, tech, processes, hiring strategies, etc
and that adds up to whether or not it's fun to work there
good thing to remember these days because AI is making people think there's going to be one optimal way of being successful
Today marks one of the happiest days of my life and one of my greatest achievements. ❤️
Today I have become a father to a healthy baby boy 👶
I am beyond happy and I am looking forward to the adventures with him and my beautiful wife who is my rock and my biggest love. 👨👩👦
And I am not joking it is fraeking crazy that fff can do exact file search code search on the whole linux repo (7GB, 100k files) in real time
but also it can do TYPO RESISTANT FUZZY CODE SEARCH *mostly* real time (just about 160ms delay per word)

in opencode 1.2.18 we believe we solved the issue where processes would hang in the background
in many terminals when you close the tab it sends a SIGHUP
that wasn't being handled by our runtime automatically so had to manually handle it
I often let my desire to use the latest new and unstable stuff get in the way of me actually knocking out projects. I need to standardize on a stack I can be productive with.
A red flag for me with a young African startup is when I see Supabase, Neon, PlanetScale, or any auth-as-a-service on their stack.
It tells me one thing: you're building from hype, not from math.
You picked Supabase because a YouTuber used it in a tutorial. You picked Neon because "serverless Postgres" sounded cool. You picked Clerk because writing a login page felt beneath you.
Now you're paying $25/month here, $30/month there, $15/month for auth — for an app with 40 users.
Meanwhile: a $6 VPS can run your database, your auth, your entire backend. Docker makes it painless. Cloudflare R2 gives you backups for practically nothing.
Then you tweet "we're raising to extend our runway."
Brother, your runway isn't short. Your stack is expensive. Those are different problems.
One has a fix that takes an afternoon. The other takes months and costs you equity.

Daydreaming about an entry MacBook Neo as a thin client for local LLMs and dev work on a maxed future Mac Studio. Apple is creating the best value hardware for local AI and it’s amazing to think of consequences of that.
