Oh no, I'm in very dangerous territory of launching too late.
Why? Because I'm considering implementing dark mode.
Waste of time, yes.
Needed for launch, no.
Please send help.

So psyched to be on leave this week. Time for full focus on my side hustle.

Sometimes coding with a copilot is so fast that I feel like I need to spend time faffing around with something to fill in the time I would have otherwise spent typing something out manually.
And that leads us to why I'm here posting this now.

I'm facing a dilemma between wanting to reduce potentially costly api calls versus prematurely caching everything in sight.

Sometimes you need to go slow so you can go fast later.
I spent most of today planning, figuring out architecture stuff. I'm now confident in my approach to the new #sidehustle
Ready to go fast.

Nothing better than finding an elegant solution to a coding problem that you've been struggling to crack.
No surprise why sales and marketing always take a back seat to coding,...to our own detriment.

Wow I just can't love frontend dev. Likely a me not you problem,..but still.
Today I spent 3 hours just trying to get a layout with 2 columns, some content, and a header bar with some dropdowns. To look half decent.
Me + frontend = zero productivity

What's everyone using for a managed #postgres cloud provider? I've historically used digitalocean. But I'm keen to to give #hetzner a try for my new project and they don't have a managed db offering.

AI coding copilots are awesome for productivity, but we can't rely on them completely. Our jobs and engineering skill sets are safe.
Today I spent hours debugging a bug related to iframes and cookies. Chatgpt and Claude failed to figure out the root cause. I begrudgingly used my brain instead.

Does it mean I'm old because I still continue to use git checkout instead of git switch for changing or creating branches. Too many years of checkout finger memory to unlearn.

Dang, that pesky day job keeps getting in the way of my side hustling. I wake up at 5am every day to get a couple hours in before work, but the progress is so slow. Oh well, need to pay the bills somehow. #indiehacker #buildinpublic

Setting up dns, google workspace and all the niggly annoying things for a new domain is getting easier. My only explanation is that I must be buying too many domains for SaaS ideas.
