I built an RPG for my dog in 24 hours and now I can't stop using it Just submitted Corgi Quest to the @Replit 10 Year Buildathon 🐾 A dog-training RPG for my reactive corgi Bumi. Voting opens May 4. Demo below 📷 youtube.com/watch?v=phcY9n… #Replit10 #ReplitBuildathon

corgiquest.com/tools/sitter two versions: 🖨️ the regular one — clean printable page, fill it in, hand it off. no email, no account, draft saves to your browser only. 📷 the illustrated one (like the image above) — currently in beta, waitlist + email to try it. both are free!

made a free thing 🌿 one page for everything your dog sitter needs — meals, meds, emergency contacts, house rules, the quirks only you know. print it, text the link, or copy it as plain text. no app, no signup. your draft stays on your device. (see how I did that below 👇)

Hot take: most dog owners do not need more advice. They need help being consistent. That is the part people struggle with most.

Having a reactive dog is one of the most emotionally exhausting things and people really do not talk about that enough.

Kiro? Trae? Antigravity? Feel like all conversations are dominated by the "C's"

Does anyone use any AI coding tools apart from Codex, Claude or Cursor? I've been wanting to branch out and try something new for a weekend

I’ve been an engineer for about 10 years, and one thing I really like about AI is how it helps with blank page syndrome. Sometimes the hardest part is not the work. It’s just getting started. Having something to react to changes that a lot. Anyone agree?

One key thing to point out is this I've been mostly working on new greenfield stuff where velocity and bringing our tool to the market is key. In my case, we do want to go blazing fast

At some point, I become the bottleneck. Context switching across 4 different threads is hard, and a lot of software work still gets slowed down by team decisions, and all the other human stuff. But yeah, in real-world use, I absolutely believe the productivity gain is real.

I genuinely feel like AI makes me 2 to 3x more effective as a developer. I usually have 3 to 4 agents running at once. 10x for code generation and getting onboarded into a new repo 2x for code reviews 1.5x for bug fixing The reason it is not even higher is pretty simple.

Made this account a while ago, disappeared, and now I’m back like that was part of the plan. I’m a software engineer, dog owner, husband, and someone who definitely spends too much time thinking about how things should work. Expect spicy hot takes! :D

I also coincidentally built this for the @tan_stack and @convex hackathon Since posting this last week so many ppl used it, it used up all of my openai credits. But i upped it and we are back in business!

I’m building Corgi Quest because my dog Bumi started struggling after I fell out of training. He got so overwhelmed he nipped me, and it scared me. I just want him to feel safe and confident, so I’m creating a tiny RPG app to help us stay consistent again.

From math teacher to DevRel ✨ I had so much fun being on the Laravel podcast and sharing my journey. Make sure to listen to the episode!

@DThompsonDev Logged into twitter (i heard it changed its name?) for the first time in years just to reply to this. HELL YES

Ok be very real, I am almost scared to ask this... If we do CYC26 who is coming? Don't y'all make me start going through this stress? Who is showing up IN PERSON? 🤔

BUMI!!! Now this is incredible! Team West Coast brought the heat! An all in Home Cleaning Services Application with Scheduling and AI integration that can even update and change appointment scheduling! THEY BUILT THIS WITH NO GUIDES AND IN 6 WEEKS!!
