I'm building something for independent music artists. Shipping next week.

@wispem_wantex Contender for best post on the internet in my view 🫰

There's a Women In Tech conference in the building, so I'm stealing their pizza. Listened to two talks so far. Discussion of tech so far: none. Lots of sharing personal journeys though. Voices are also being heard.

@yacineMTB Yeah that’s just an old handed down trick that everyone plays on new parents

A 7 month old is honestly a lot more demanding than a 4 month old. The It gets easier bros were lying, I'm sorry to say

To be honest I don't know exactly what advantages it may have "technically" or whatever, but it was just the setup that was infinitely easier (as long as you're managing your domain in cloudflare too). With ngrok you have to actually go and manually map your DNS / domains etc, whereas with cloudflared, it's one terminal command and you're up and running

@deadrightdove @RaulOnRails @dhh what's the advantage of this over ngrok? I use ngrok but managed my domains on Cloudflare too

We've switched all our dev setups to localhost. Not only can it have subdomains, but it's also a secure context by default, so you don't need any SSL cert to use all the features that depend on that. We just reserve a specific port per app. So good, so simple.

@willmcgugan @googleaidevs @AnthropicAI Just epic

Hey @googleaidevs @AnthropicAI I have spent the last 5+ years making things look awesome in the terminal. You could have access to all the expertise for the price of a sponsorship, and help fund open source. #worthashot github.com/sponsors/willm…

@RaulOnRails @dhh I prefer this over ngrok- developers.cloudflare.com/pages/how-to/p…. Obviously a no brainer if you happen to be managing your app domain via cloudflare too

@dhh How do you test webhooks from external services?

@NicklasGellner @medusajs

80% cost saving on commerce fees. Let me break down how we usually help clients achieve those numbers. @medusajs offers more than just a customizable and open-source foundation. We offer enterprise-level commerce features without enterprise fees. In one recent case, a US client cut annual fees from $200k+ to less than $40k by switching to Medusa.  We see this time and again against platforms from Shopify Plus to Adobe Commerce and Commercetools. How we achieve those savings: • Lower platform costs: We only charge for infrastructure. Far cheaper than GMV-based or licensed pricing models. • Less 3rd party tools: Other platforms (are incentivized to) push costly 3rd-party apps for basic customizations. We let you build them natively. • No extra transaction fees: Use Stripe or any PSP without paying Medusa additional transaction fees, unlike other platforms that charge 0.3–2%. These savings can be reinvested in what matters: building features and solutions that elevate the customer experience.

@ClanBeard @BitcoinMagazine To buy the crocs 🐊

@BitcoinMagazine Makes me want to sell all my coins... 🤢

JUST IN: The third official #Bitcoin Crocs shoe has officially launched 💥

@YoniSmolyar Be sure to know exactly WHO you are doing it for. If it’s not only for yourself, you will end up jaded and frustrated. There isn’t a single person on the planet that cares about what you might need to go through in order to achieve X or Y. Don’t lose yourself in the process 💙

By far the greatest source of anxiety in my life is the voice in my head saying I should be working right now. I should be building/coding/marketing/making videos/researching/experimenting/hunched over my laptop working Ever since I started this solopreneur thing last year this voice has been somewhat inescapable. Occasionally when I'm at a relative maxima of progress the voice subsides. I remember to celebrate the small wins and touch grass and unwind But I have a very difficult time turning this voice off in the evenings and on the weekends. Because nights and weekends are when we build, right? In some ways I think it's because I haven't had my first big win yet. I'm not sitting atop $50k or $100k MRR. I don't have a safety net that makes me feel, well... safe. I feel like I owe to to my future self to ruthlessly sacrifice today for tomorrow, to stay hunched over my laptop until I get my first big break. Until I feel like the work is finally paying off. Because what a shame it would be to give up or let off the gas right before your first big break, right? Surely someone can relate to this

@codehans1 I’m loving it already. Big love lads 💙

Back in 2022 we built out an EVM compatible version of Orca, with a view to offer democratised liquidations for money markets on EVM chains I remember integrating just 🦊 alongside Station as a fairly serious lift given the requirement to maintain a seamless UX

@jp_kuji @vultisig @RujiraNetwork Legend 🦾

Had a quick but great time at the @vultisig x @RujiraNetwork coffee table. Won’t be my last time!

Wanna know the difference between the guy on the left and the guy on the right? Let me tell you a story The guy on the left believed he was a piece of crap and so he acted into those beliefs daily He drank alcohol to cope He was addicted to porn He gorged himself with food All because he believe he deserved it He believed he couldn't be healthy He believed he had ruined his life So he lived into that belief

@codehans1 @RujiraNetwork

We executed the very first smart contract from the revamped @RujiraNetwork unified front-end, just a few minutes ago A relatively insignificant action, but an event that marks the confluence of building blocks that are going to make Rujira the best DeFi experience, bar none 🧵👇

You're spot on about the Salazar regime's effects. I've noticed that people don't like to blame that, but it's so evident. It really stripped the people of drive, creative thinking, the ability to want to form businesses etc. It's very sad. So many people are working, but at the same time, seem to be almost allergic to money. It's hard to even give the stuff away at times. It will take decades to change, but it'll hopefully get there.

PS nothing wrong with 57-year olds in the rest of the world But in Portugal being 57 means you're born in 1967 during dictator Salazar's rule who destroyed this country's culture The echoes of which can be experienced every day in the extreme inefficiencies in this country noticable in business and people Young people in Portugal are changing things and taking over which is great That is if they don't leave the country as part of the massive brain drain here

This is absolutely hilarious I had to pay my electricity bill in Portugal, and to do that I have to go into the national energy company's customer portal to get the payment details cause I need to pay via IBAN But their site is always down, it's been down for days, meanwhile they threaten me by SMS they're ready to cut off my power But if their site is down how am I gonna pay I'm traveling in Brazil so I tried VPN to Portugal, thinking "they couldn't have possibly blocked the ENTIRE world except Portugal from visiting their site, right? riiiiiiight???" And of course they did, with VPN to Portugal the site immediately worked 😂 So the national energy company of Portugal has blocked the ENTIRE WORLD except Portugal from accessing their site, thinking no Portuguese realistically goes outside of Portugal and ever needs to pay their bill abroad Probably some 57-year old manager at EDP thinking "that sounds like a GREAT solution for security" Meanwhile any VPN bypasses that easily What an absolutely bonkers mindset 🤯 Reminds me of companies only opening their website during 9 to 5 opening hours, similarly crazy The tweets about Portugal will continue until morale improves 😂 Funnily enough X wouldn't let me post this tweet, of course for the opposite reason: I had my VPN to Portugal on :D

@the_travisday Congrats man 🦾

Skinny fat comp sci student → Jacked tech bro I had crippling anxiety & zero confidence. The one thing I was good at was tech so I leaned into the stereotype while I let my health deteriorate. Here’s how I got jacked while finishing my degree & landing a job in big tech 👇

@mualphaxi Spot on 💯. I see this daily in Portugal too. I’m not dunking on it for no reason, but I guess it’s just sad to see. It feels impossible to even give money away here at times. And it’s definitely not the case that there is an abundance of it.

What an Austrian restaurant taught me about European degrowth: In the time I've stood in line, >40 people left the restaurant. Not a single person in line (now ~25) has been able to talk to a host. The waiters are going about their business. It's not full, actually looking empty. It has very good reviews! People are starting to get antsy, but not me, because I saw an opportunity for some economic anthropology. A line outside an empty restaurant is the perfect metaphor for why some societies grow and some do not, with many other things being equal (sound institutions, the gas in the kitchen works). Do you let the people in who are practically begging to give you money? Or do ignore and abuse them so long that they just leave? Letting the customers in is like finding hundred dollar bills on the sidewalk. This is Europe. They're lethargic and tired. There's no hustle, because there's no merit. A waiter that gets 10x the tables of the next guy is getting the exact same wage. Equity! American waitstaff would NEVER allow this to happen. They'd be apoplectic. It's a pattern throughout the European economies. You want to do a startup? Wait. Pay us. Go through regulation forever. At a certain point people go to the more energetic restaurant across the street: America.
