@fraxool I’m about to jump into it again, I think it’s good to work in sprints and take breaks Make sprints fun then recover

As a solo Shopify developer since 2020, people could easily assume that AI made my work lighter. Ironically, in some ways, it’s been the exact opposite for me. Over the past few months, I’ve started struggling with sleep for the first time in my life. My brain just doesn’t seem able to switch off anymore. Before the AI era, I could actually disconnect. I could travel, enjoy weekends, step away from work without constantly thinking about the next feature or project. Now everything moves so fast that I feel permanently “on”. Even on weekends, I end up reopening my laptop, launching Codex or Claude, and finishing “just one more thing”. I genuinely love building with AI and I’m excited by what’s happening right now, but the pace and constant possibilities have changed the way my brain works. Instead of working less, I feel like I’m thinking about work more than ever. And honestly, it’s exhausting sometimes. I’m more tired than before, my sleep is getting impacted, and I’m realizing how difficult it has become to truly disconnect. Curious to know if other solo devs or entrepreneurs are feeling the same lately.

Every few months I get a random payment from Shopify for signing clients up, thanks x

I'm itching for some claude code rn, how can it be down

Discovering Claude is best thing to happen to me in the last 12 months

Nobody actually enjoyed programming. We just convinced ourselves we did because it was the only way to make computers useful. Now that it's not? I moved on instantly. Don't miss it even slightly. All that pain was optional. We just didn't know it yet.

ETSY DROPSHIPPING IN 2024-2025 (STARTER GUIDE) Etsy dropshipping has been one of the easiest ways to make money over the last 3-5 years compared to other platforms. But with recent policy changes, many things have shifted. Still, the basics remain the same. However, I keep seeing people use outdated dropshipping methods that limit their store’s potential. If you’ve been around Etsy dropshipping a while, some of this might be familiar. But I guarantee you’ll find new insights here. 👇 I’ve broke it down into 4 key pillars you must master if you want to start or 2-3x your Etsy store revenue in 2025 RW+Comment "Guide" and I'll send the link to your DM

@Edesiri_fo Today I would just ask chat gpt & Claude separately to explain it and see if they could improve it then compare answers

every time i write code, i struggle to find a balance between judging whether what i’ve written is good, could be better or just bad. how do you know when you’ve written high-quality code? is there a benchmark?

Working in nigeria is not easy, no electricity all morning now my MacBook is dead

$0 - $100k/m with ecom - Day 21 New Record Day & healthy ~50% profit margins! 🕺🏾 Slightly disappointed I didn't hit the 1k day, but I know we're very close and this week we'll hit it. I'm back working from the office, which is nice. I've made some new ad batches that will go live tonight, so we'll see how they perform tomorrow - those are reiterations of my current winners, so I'm feeling confident they'll do well. Just gotta keep pumping ads, and scaling. FLG! 🏌🏾‍♂️

Learnt how to use cursor over the weekend saved my ass

Learning how to develop a site in shopify definitely contributed to my personal development I’m tweaking the code and refreshing on repeat x100 and the page is getting worse? Client on my neck, missed the deadline for the 3rd time No hope, feel like a solution doesn’t exist Then you make a change and something start working everything makes sense now you feel like a genius Once you go through that over and over again it’s hard not to apply it everywhere else in your life Everything can be solved!

Development honestly gives me anxiety
