I’m starting a new chapter today.
One I’ve dreamed about for years — but always found reasons not to fully chase.
I’d dabble in things here and there, but I was afraid to really commit.
Eventually, I realized a few things:

Did some vibe coding using claude 3.7 for the first time tonight.
First impressions… seems like you definitely have to rein it in or it’ll go completely off the rails.
I just kinda wanted to see what it would do, and I gave it one medium sized prompt.

There’s a reason there are tons of companies that are unbundling parts of AWS and just repackaging them and putting some margin on top… the UI/UX for AWS is just so ungodly bad.
Hard to find what you want, hard to set things up that you need to. It’s just so bad.

What email api services do you use for little hobby projects?
I was using Resend, but ran into the fact that you can only send from one domain on their free tier.
And don’t really wanna upgrade and pay $20/mo for some small hobby projects.
Any alternatives I should check out?

Was thinking of trying to get some freelance Shopify store development work, so I made a headless Shopify store to show to prospective clients.
Just got an email that my Shopify store was terminated because it was in violation of their Acceptable Use Policy?
Any idea why that would happen?

I think “AI Agent wrappers” will be the new ChatGPT wrappers in 2025.
Use pre built agents that solve a specific problem for the backend, build a friendly and easy to use UI for the frontend.

Hey 🦋!
Been hearing a lot of hype about this place so figured I’d check it out.
I’m a (wannabe) solopreneur trying to to replace the income I make from a job with money I make for myself through products and services.
Currently that’s with software products and services.
