I was thinking the same, and switched to EUR price only, cause I’m in Europe. Payments dropped off like it’s a free fall. Added double pricing (EUR and USD), and got back to acquiring customers, and the majority of my purchases are in USD.

It fascinates me how little respect software engineers get. The entire internet paints a picture of software engineers as useless code producing monkeys. I haven’t seen anything similar in any other engineering industry.

Business books are like courses, master classes, etc. It’s just a way to make you feel better because you read something, and now you think you know how it works, but you don’t, so end up reading more and more of them. There should be a bal

I tried, but I don’t find them useful. I tried supermaven, and llama.cpp, as autocomplete in steroids, but they got annoying pretty fast. I now use ChatGPT and Claude to ask questions about thing I don’t know how to do, or ask them to rewri

I really tried to love Go. But I guess it’s too verbose for my liking. Not having modern paradigms like iterators, or basic data structures — is a bummer, especially in web related development. On top of that, the pollution of ‘if err != ni

It doesn’t matter, whether it’s true or not. If you can’t program you are not a coder. Vibe or no vibe. You have no competence in this field. And I wish we would stop calling people who can’t code “(whatever hyped word) coder”, because then

I wish we would stop calling it “vibe coding” and would start calling it incompetency, because I don’t see people call themselves “vibe mechanics” if they take their cars to a repair shop over an issue they have no expertise to fix.

Yes, this mirrors my experience as well. It's just every time I see someone who "quits" Rust in order to go back to Ruby/PHP/Python, I'm interested to know what part they were struggling with.

Mind to share why? As someone who likes Rust, has one project (web based) in production in Rust, and considering starting another one, I'd be glad to learn from the experience of other people.

I can’t help you with product market fit, but I can try to help you with traction. Keep in mind I’m a newbie myself, and mainly just trowing ideas. First, make sure Google actually knows about your website. Submit it to Google search consol

I gave up trying to change people’s mind in this widely divided world. For starters, I will be arguing with a dozen of “social media influencers” who shaped the opinion and identity of my opponent. And in the end, most people are not really

The same item on Amazon will cost x2/3 times than Temu, if you will be able to find the same item at all, meaning it cuts a big chunk of the potential buyers of the cheap crap. The world would have been a better place if we hadn't

Aren't Temu/Shein considered to be ultra-low-quality garbage, mostly? Don't people haul their items in order to promote their useless Instagram/TikTok, so their followers will buy the same ultra-low-quality garbage? Don&

If by "nontoxic", one means a social media where people complain about the other side, then sure, I guess bluesky is on a great quest. I don't have a dog in US politics fight, but from my experience on BlueSky, it has become

The world doesn't need any more social platforms that detach people from touching grass and making real human connection, and at the same time act as a means to spread the current flavor of propaganda

I don’t think this is how it works. By the same logic, since cars were invented a hundred years ago (give or take), by today we should have flying cars at the speed of light, and yet we don’t. AI development will plateau. It’s not like it *

It’s not only AI. It’s short form content, fast paced life. I can’t seem to be able to concentrate as I used to, get into the zone. I get irritated way more, for example when I can’t code a solution fast enough and the AI is being stupid, I

I got my first MacBook from work about 8 years ago. Before that I used Linux on desktop and laptops for about 10-12 years. A die hard core Arch Linux btw type of user. At first I hated Mac, but then I got used to it. Eventually I bought Mac

Load balancers and redundancy are tech-creep, IMHO. At least in the initial stages. But I think people in tech, and in general, underestimate how performant modern hardware is. They run their service of 1/2 vCPU which was carved from s

Vercel and NextJS should not exist. I tried next once, and I was met with a bunch of hydration errors in production. The concept is nice, but the framework just over complicates everything for some potential gain of rendering on the server,

Cool game. Concept is not new, but good execution. Here is some feedback: 1. Remove the annoying popup 2. Use native elements for input, I don't know what is it in your code, but this is not native, because when I type, Vimium plugin i

You need to ask yourself one important question: are your potential customers on these platforms? Many people see successful indie developers use social media to elevate their success, and immediately think they have to do the same until yo

Stoicism has nothing to do with men. It's not a male-exclusive philosophy. It's just a way to cope with life and the struggles in life. Stoicism is just being weaponized, often by misinterpretation, by "male-clubs". It k
