Thank you to anyone who has listened to @codeandconquer.fm in the past ♥️ Right now I'm not actively recording new episodes, but this is still a great milestone.

When you have a development issue that is so complex and rare that you start watching youtube videos that are just text and code, you know you're in the deep end.

It's incredible how many people have no idea how designing a system for security works. Blog posts detailling how to expose ports to the internet (without any restrictions). Installations that expose 3000 ports to the wide web. Be safe out there. Any idiot can write blog posts.

Traded another 12-15 hours of my work for a Squarespace subscription. I was tried of paying that money, when I'm perfectly capable of building my own website. So here's to a new and clean icebearlabs.com :D

Is the thing your doing absolutely necessary? No? Is it enjoyable? Also no? You should probably not do it anymore.

When you wanted a really tiny app to help keep your plants alive 🪴 Now you have a Turborepo with frontend, backend, database and MinIO fileserver, getting proxied through a built-in nginx and deployed via Docker Compose 🤯 Thanks to @coolify.io at least I don't need to worry about hosting.

Anyone experiencing the @codeandconquer.fm page not loading right now, we're moving to @cloudflare.social so it might be done for a while, until new DNS settings take a hold. Getting rid of anything Vercel to cancel the subscription.

My biggest regret in life is not buying my mothers house when she sold it in 2021 when we had like 1.5% interest rates…

Time is an infuriating resource. You are given an indefinite amount. You HAVE to spend it and you can only spend the same amount all the time. You cannot save it. And you never know when yours runs out. 86400 seconds today. Spend them wisely.

Just so anyone still interested in @codeandconquer.fm has heard anything from me. I’m considering pausing the podcast. Leaving Twitter hit my motivation engaging with the community pretty hard. Still hacking but more with just me and my partner. Will see how it continues..

Is there a tutorial / guide for GenAI, Docker and / or AWS Cloud Development that is built like @joshwcomeau.com's courses? I'd really like to learn but it needs to be engaging, otherwise my neurodiverse brain doesn't listen anymore.

Took out the new camera for a little photo walk and my camera buddy snapped a great picture of me :)

Not gonna lie, it gets harder every year watching the Superbowl from Europe :D

A new episode of @codeandconquer.fm is live 🚀 I talked to @janu.lol about starting an MVP agency from scratch, letting your comfy full-time job go and the challenge of doing business in Germany 🇩🇪 Listen to the full episode below 👇

Logged out of Twitter on all devices, so I'm not tempted to look anymore. So if you guys message me there, I'll probably not see it anymore.

If you need a great podcast listen for your weekend, me and @alexsuzuki.com are ready for you 😎

how about we post what we want instead of pleasing an algo?

Muting all the words. Nothing that happened today is telling us anything we didn’t know.

Life goals to live like this

The freedom and privilege to be able to work on our projects is incredible - and I try to be grateful for this every day It's easy to get deep into the business bubble and forget why you're even doing this in the first place: being happier, freer... So enjoy the journey as well

We’re all often about business, making it big, earning that cash. Pause a while between those thoughts and think about how you woke up today. You’re alive! You’re breathing! Celebrate being alive once in a while ☀️

Survived my first flight in 8 years. I’ve been avoiding flying for almost a decade. Not gonna lie, wasn’t the best experience. Still glad I now get to enjoy my vacation ☀️

How do you grow from $7 to $10K MRR as a solo founder? 📈 @dmytrokrasun.com spills the truth about growth, customer support, anxiety, production positioning 🤯 And why building a 'boring' API business might be your smartest move 💡 Listen to the newest "Code and Conquer" episode now 👇

Many people in the community advocate for shipping things fast and fixing things as you go. But I think quite a lot stop at shipping fast and never do the other part. There is an insane amount of buggy indie software that never gets patches.

What's the best comprehensive guide on AI right now? Looking for something that goes into detail about LLMs, Prompt Engineering, Chaining, Multi-Agent Workflows etc. Best would be - very german - if it has a certification at the end... German businesses love those.

What's a good web scraping api with a generous free tier or a budget pricing tier (like $10-20/m) that you'd recommend? Trying to scrape a few job sites to automate finding new projects for myself.

Not many people have sold their startup ... just to buy it back a few years down the line for a DISCOUNT 🤯🤑 In today's episode of Code and Conquer we talk to @steveridout.bsky.social about pricing, launching early and the rise of AI in language learning. Check it out 👇

Claude just coded a tool I always wanted to code in my free time at work but didn't ever have the time to strongly think about it. And it took it exactly 5mins and 3 tries to get it right. Software Development will be so different in 5 years.

Anyone needs a starter template for their muted words on BlueSky, here's a list that filters pretty well.

There's nothing more demotivating than working with people that have literally no idea what they're doing... Current freelance project swapped out experienced QA engineers with "off-shore developers", that don't know what a null value is.

A blast from the past today: The "500-mile email" story reveals how a server misconfiguration caused emails to fail beyond a 500-mile radius. 🤪 A consultant’s unintended downgrade of Sendmail led to a timeout issue that matched the speed-of-light travel distance. www.ibiblio.org/harris/500mi...

This year has been hard for many reasons. One great reason to keep going was my podcast and my amazing guests 🚀 Thanks to all of the people that checked it out and THANK YOU to the 13 people where I was the #1 Podcast ♥️ Of to another year of Code and Conquer ☀️

Founding a company in Germany, in the media industry and #1 marketing channel is word of mouth 🤯 @lukashermann.dev is doing indie hacking on hard mode! 🕹️ We had a great talk about it on the "Code and Conquer" podcast, check out the new episode down below 👇

Last week on "Code and Conquer - The Indie Hacker Podcast" I talked to Ali Salah, founder of @instatus.bsky.social / indie hacker from Egypt, scaling his startup to 30k MRR 🤯 We talked building from a low income country, flat-rate pricing and the 3 year journey to the first dollar. Listen below 👇

Happy weekend everyone! 😎 What is everyone working on this weekend? 🏗️ Or are you doing something cool for leasure? 🌴

Guys, if you do a course on "how to grow your newsletter on social media" at least CUSTOMIZE the automated message you send to people. I got this 30mins apart from two different people that are not connected in any way.
