If we get to the point that AI can run a complete business unencumbered then the world looks very different. At this time, I have very little confidence that AI today can operate my business untouched while OOO. Nor would I want it to. I en

Yup, I always say – the hardest part of my job is that if I don't do it, nothing gets done . That copy error on the website. That minor bug. We take for granted the velocity we get by having colleagues. If I get lazy, everything grind

It really depends on what you want to do. By the nature of being self-directed, you elect what roles you want to play. I personally don't love the marketing and sales cycles, so my current business is B2C and I don't do any market

Thanks for being so transparent. As a fellow solo bootstrapper, I think the thing people most often misunderstand is the relative inconsistency (income, "wins", the camaraderie, etc.) so it's nice for you to bare all. That be

I was evaluating it recently but it's not FOSS, so buyer beware. I'm totally fine with commercialization, but I hesitate to build on top of data stores with no escape hatches or maintenance plans–especially when they're ventu

I’ve had a lot of success rendering svg charts via Airbnb’s visx on top of React Server Components, then sprinkling in interactivity with client components. Worth looking into if you want that balance. It’s more low level than a full charti

Around a hundred per second at peak. Even though my server can handle it just fine, it muddies up the logs and observability for something I genuinely do not care about at all. I only care about seeing real users' experience. It's

If you have a lot of pages, AI bots will scrape every single one on a loop - wiki's generally don't have anywhere near the number of pages as an incremented entity primary id. I have a few million pages on a tiny website and it ge

I don’t understand this conclusion. Why shouldn’t it be a business? Doesn’t it create value? Hasn’t the nature of being a business led to far more maturity and growth in a FOSS offering than if it had been a side project? Just because it ca

Fellow bootstrapper checking in. Made an ardent but delicate decision in 2015 not to raise money and ten years later I'm chugging along full-time on my business. Infinitely glad to have chosen this path. It was the right one for me.

Yup, I echo this sentiment. We're about to flourish. It's never been cheaper and easier to build real value. It's also never been cheaper and easier to build real crap–but, the indie devs who care will build more value with h

It doesn’t really matter if they’re using commercial VPNs or the same upstream providers as commercial VPNs. Blocking an ASN is a million times more effective than blocking single IPs (at the risk of blocking genuine customers). I’ve had cu

Hilariously – react server components largely solves all three of these problems, but developers don't seem to want to understand how or why, or seem to suggest that they don't solve any real problems.

You can root certain models of robot vacuums and then ssh into them. Most run some variant of linux. Then just install tailscale. There are a few blogs out there of people who have done it[0][1]. It's taking a cloud-based product, de-c

I have tailscale running on my robot vacuum. It's my own little autonomous mesh vpn node that lets me connect back to my home network when I'm on the go.

They lend you optionality of when and where you want your code to run. Plus it enables you to define the server/client network boundary where you see fit and cross that boundary seamlessly. It's totally fine to say you don't

No, he clearly points that anyone else would have to be taken off their existing work and would have to context-switch to the context he already has. That's not trashing his engineering team.

I recently bought a robot vacuum, installed valetudo, installed tailscale onto the robot itself and now I can control it from anywhere through my personal mesh vpn. It's pretty amazing. Valetudo is perhaps the most opinionated soft

Frontend web development is effectively distributed systems built on top of markup languages and backwards compatible scripting languages. We are running code on servers and clients, communicating between the two (crossing the network bound

There’s a long history of subtick bugs that have been identified and patched over the years. CS2 still isn’t quite as stable as 128-tick CS:GO (perhaps benefitting from a decade of patches and simpler architecture)

Definitely a big barrier to entry, my way was watching a friend spin up a cluster from scratch using yaml files and then copying his work. Nowadays you have claude next to you to guide you along, and you can even manage the entire cluster v

I'd list these as the real-world advantages * Very flexible, but rigid deployments (can build anywhere, deploy from anywhere, and roll out deployments safely with zero downtime) * Images don't randomly disappear (ran into th

I run my entire business on a single OVH box that costs roughly $45/month. It has plenty of headroom for growth. The hardest part is getting comfortable with k8s (still worth it for a single node!) but I’ve never had more uptime and re

Yeah, this is the actual error that I'm running into. Metadata pages are returning 401 and bailing out of the build.

I didn't even really realize it was a SPOF in my deploy chain. I figured at least most of it would be cached locally. Nope, can't deploy. I don't work on mission-critical software (nor do I have anyone to answer to) so it&#x2

I'm sure this is some MBA 101 stuff, but I'm slowly learning that all sales come from a sense of urgency. A two-week long trial ends and you're not even on the computer? Oh well. You're recording something longer than 15
