By day, I'm a 8-4er. By night, I'm just shipping code

Every senior engineer I respect treats AI like they treat their IDE-a force multiplier, not a crutch. Ship faster, think deeper, automate the boring stuff. That's the game.

All those AI job apocalypse predictions from 2013?

Seventeen million more jobs later, AI didn’t kill careers, it just changed how we work completely

No indie hacker ever regretted:
- Shipping before it's perfect
- Learning AWS the hard way
- Saying no to scope creep
- Walking away from the screen
- Building in public
- Open sourcing their code
- Actually finishing that side project

The ones who regret are the ones who never started.

You don't need to be a computer scientist to launch an AI moonshot. Most breakthroughs are coming from people who never got "qualified" by tradition (looks like the gatekeepers lost the keys).

Get in the game, don’t get intimidated.

I will repeat this again.

If you’re just getting into coding now,

you’re way ahead of most.

Seasoned devs are stuck with their old maps and don’t see the ground shifting under their feet.

So, stay open to learning new stuff, because anyone can code now.

I don't ship faster than others.
I just stopped waiting to feel "ready".

That's one of my biggest lessons from entrepreneurship

Big companies are scrambling with "AI strategy meetings."

Meanwhile, solo devs are just shipping.

Is bureaucracy the real competitive disadvantage now?

If you're a developer using Claude code/terminal agents, do yourself a favor and run git worktree

Let the terminal agent handle issues while you pretend to work on other ones

Massive productivity boost or just an elaborate procrastination system, jury’s still out

Every dev starts dreaming about tech fame and ends up googling "how to start a farm" 🌾 There’s no in between.

Everyone's talking about AI writing apps from scratch, but devs mostly use it for migrations and they're actually pretty into it.

8 days ago PulseKeep was just an idea, here’s what actually happened.

What I’ve learned so far:

Ship ugly, polish later
Payment flows are way harder than expected
Consistency beats motivation
12 products in 12 months sounds crazy. But day by day, it’s just showing up.

Everyone redirects billing to third-party portals, I built it in-app instead.
More work? Yes. Better UX? Absolutely.
Small decisions add up to products people actually enjoy using

User upgraded to paid plan. Database shows "indie". Sidebar shows "0/10 monitors".Spent an hour checking webhooks, API responses, state management.

The bug? My code checked for 'indie_pro' but the webhook saved 'indie'.

One string mismatch. One hour gone.

Builders, here's the hard truth:

perfectionism is just procrastination wearing a mask

Good marketing finds customers.
Great marketing makes them before they even know they need you.
December 15, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Big tech debates if AI replaces developers.

Indie hackers already know the truth.

AI handles the boring 1% (docs, boilerplate, integration hell) so you can focus on the 99% that actually matters: thinking, architecture, and shipping.
December 15, 2025 at 9:29 PM
AWS is proof that no matter how scalable and resilient your infra is, no matter how clean your automation scripts are, if your DevOps tooling fucking sucks, your deployments are F grade.
December 15, 2025 at 7:28 PM
Most of coding was never about writing code.

AI is just making this way more obvious.

You don’t need to memorize syntax, function structure, boilerplate code, or even API endpoints anymore.

That stuff’s the easy part and AI nails it.

The hard part was never typing. It was always…

Most devs use GitHub daily but miss 90% of its best features
December 15, 2025 at 10:00 AM
Do you also feel like AI saves you hours every week?

Coding, design, all of it just got way faster.
December 14, 2025 at 9:55 PM
Everyone's talking about AI building apps from scratch, but devs mostly just use it for migrations and they're actually pretty happy with that.

80% of founders fail bc they jump straight to building

You’re probably lining up to do the same

Lots of founders think “I have this problem, so I’ll build the solution.” But you’re not your customer

Talk to 40 real people first. Build after that

Your MVP is actually insulting your customers, here’s what to build instead 👇

A Simple, Lovable, and Complete (SLC) product that treats users like humans, not test subjects, because a finished and appealing product from day one is what earns loyalty and growth.
