Andre Westerlund

Hey, I’m Andre. tech guy in the ai/dev space. i use the quiet hours after the kids are down to learn, build, and ship practical ai tools and workflows that cut through endless prompting and solve real problems. no guru stuff, just a builder figuring it out step by step. what’s one ai thing you’re building or experimenting with lately? 👌 catch you around

@AdiD3v go for it!

should i create an account on SUBSTACK?🤌

@Dev_Lurker The next minute: Debugging the error... ..... ...... You have reached 100% of your usage 🤦 Worked for 58 mins and 32 seconds

@andrewesterlund already on it😅

Cursor: “I found the bug.” Me: “Where?” Cursor: “In your architecture.”

@AdiD3v ahh takes me back 🥲

my gf -"You should revisit your childhood memories." meanwhile me

@Dev_Lurker 100% bro, I hope other founders/builders take care of their health while grinding, whether it's an extra bit of sleep or touching grass for an hour.

@andrewesterlund so true, burnout is real and it's okay to slow down and focus on what really matters

hot take: ai didn't make building easier. it made shipping feel mandatory. now everyone's in a race to launch faster, show more, be everywhere. sometimes the smartest move is to pause before you burn out. health is part of wealth.

4.8k followers in 65 days! 🥳 hope to hit 5k tomorrow.

before a tool earns a permanent place in my stack, i check 3 things: can i trust the output? can i inspect what happened? can i recover fast when it breaks? bookmark this if you're building with fast-moving ai tools.

@jackfriks the builder cycle or what I like to call it “Shipception”

> i have a cool idea for an app > i bring it to life > what do i do now > i go for a walk > i think of good idea for the idea > i bring it to life > what do i do now > i go to sleep repeat next week

@Abdulhafid_io Awesome stuff! 🔥

Day 15 building in public 🚀 200 followers. 1M views. 🎉 I didn't expect this when I started. But here's what actually moved the needle: → Showing up → Engaging with real builders → Being honest about the process Still building. Still learning. Soon I'll share what I'm actually building. Stay tuned. 🔥 Let's connect — drop what you're working on ⤵️📨

@radley0x 👋 yo

@andrewesterlund Hii 😃

Hey, I'm looking to connect with people interested in: → Frontend → Backend → Full Stack → DevOps → AI/ML → Data Science → UI/UX → Freelancing → Startups Say hi & let's grow together #Connect

@Bramha_01 🤝

@andrewesterlund Let's connect

@DanielSmidstrup So many bad decisions happen here for me 🫠

@andrewesterlund Yeah, tired-use is the real product test.

This week I kept coming back to one thing while building with AI. The useful tools aren't the ones that impress me in a demo. They're the ones I still reach for when I'm tired. that seems like a better test for practical AI than anything on the timeline.

@ChadAppDev You’re already in the top 3% of entrepreneurs 🫡

Yes ladies I am an entrepreneur

@Dev_Lurker Making moves 🔥

Finally Verified 😇 Reached my follow and reply limits, and it was keeping me away from my fam. So I took the step forward: upgraded to the verified badge. Now my account is officially recognized, and staying connected with my community is effortless.

3 signs a tool deserves to stay in your stack: 1. it removes wiring work 2. it keeps the UI moving fast 3. it doesn’t fight your defaults nextjs made the cut because shipping frontend + backend in one loop is still hard to beat.

@andrewesterlund hahah, a long list

Don't ask why the middle guy did not smile, because the other two became billionaires, while this guy still paying for the others' API credits.

@WashidKhan_Dev @Khushigrewall quite a following! tech space is killing it now

Who else knows her? 👀 She talks and thinks so fast that it takes me a while to catch up. 😂 But ngl, her vibe is on a whole different level. ❣️🔥 @Khushigrewall

@Vincent_Po_Li pretty much all of FAANG too😄

@andrewesterlund lol true, also google’s billing
