The world is noisy. Philosophy teaches me to find quiet within.

Philosophy is not about answers, it’s about learning to ask better questions.

I read not to escape life, but to face it with clearer eyes.

Microservices tip: start with H2 for fast development, then swap to PostgreSQL for production. Makes debugging and testing smoother. That’s if you’re using Java for your backend.

Building a login system? Always hash passwords before storing them. Plain text passwords are a ticking security time bomb. BCrypt is your friend.

I hear a lot about “validate now, build later” or “get payments first” as proof of demand. But with how fast I code, I worry about disappointing those who pay upfront. I believe building an MVP first, then getting users to pay, creates a stronger foundation and trust.

I know I haven’t been consistent here lately. 9-5 has been crazy good 5-9 been working on a client for my agency www.25xistudio.com So I’ve been busy. But life’s great! 😊

React + Vite on Vercel & getting 404s on routes like /privacy or /tos? Fix it! Add vercel.json with the code on the image to your project root. This sends all paths to index.html for React Router to handle.

Curious if startup founders build their product simply to compete with the other startups/companies or if it was a necessity to use the product?

Last night I had a dream where I explained what java methods do to my father in law. In a sense it made me realize how easy they are. If they are void, they don’t return anything and if they are a type then return that type. The dream made me say: I got this. Still weird cause I know this stuff.

Has anyone here launched a waitlist and actually charged for the product before building it? Curious how it went, what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d do differently. How is your flow, does the CTA says Join Waitlist and then takes them to a Paywall or what? 🧐 #buildinpublic

Be honest, did you build your SaaS because you needed it, or because you just wanted to launch a startup and compete with someone else’s tool (that you don’t even use)?

The words Plus, Max, Ultra, Pro and of course AI are way overused now.

One way to go viral Post something that simply doesn’t make any sense Like this: HTML is a programming language.

Who's got the best CI/CD GitHub or GitLab?

Do you use a black ink or a blue ink?

I’ve been enjoying the @vaadin.com framework lately. If you’re a Java dev, you should check it out.

Started with an idea: “What if prices were shown in hours of your life?” Now I’m elbows-deep in Elastic Beanstalk, certificates, and DNS zones. Building is wild. The best part? This Sunday the next issue drops and I'll continue the saga. via @postburst.bsky.social

I’ve noticed that some people post different things on different social media apps. Do you find it to be worth it or do you post the same thing across all platforms?

Me: “This project will take a weekend.” Also me: Accidentally nuked my AWS environment and summoned the SSL gods. Here’s how a small idea spiraled into madness. via @postburst.bsky.social

ChatGPT is biased towards you. It will always approve your ideas even if they don’t make any sense.

I tried to make a simple landing page. Ended up in a cage match with Elastic Beanstalk, port 8080, and a missing green lock. Yes, it’s chaotic. Yes, it’s fun. via @postburst.bsky.social

I’ve got a huge issue. If I see a photo with a specific tech, I want to do it too. A photo with: - Swift: I want to learn swift - React: I want to learn react - Java: I want to continue working with Java - Vue: I want to do Vue How to avoid this FOMO feeling? #buildinpublic

💡 I just wanted a cool Chrome extension that tells you how many work hours something costs. Next thing I know, I’m deep in AWS, fighting SSL demons and port numbers. Read how it started. Link in bio 👆🏻 via @postburst.bsky.social

rate my new saas: localhost:8080 #buildinpublic

You know what’s NOT fun? AWS telling me my site is live… but Chrome saying “Not Secure 🔓” I built a Chrome extension, launched a landing page, and chaos followed. Full story here 👇 via @postburst.bsky.social

Anyone that used both Substack and Beehiiv? How do you separate the two? I have my newsletter, Techtopiafyi.com on Beehiiv but lately I've been wanting to post more on Substack. But I don't want to mix the two. Any suggestions on what I should write about on Substack? #newsletter

Unpopular opinion: Not every software needs to be AI. #buildinpublic

One thing is missing from blue sky. The reach number next to the like button.

So I removed notis from my phone. I’ve been able to focus more.

Go check out PostCapture!!! You are going to love it. 🔥🔥🔥

Seems like Time for Price is now supported for FireFox. But still have some bugs. Should I ship it regardless? #buildinpublic

When do I start calling my project a startup? #buildinpublic #saas #chromeextension #webdeveloper #startup

Been binge watching @mikestrives.bsky.social YT channel. Boy he motivates me to keep pushing and working on timeforprice dotcom, specially because he’s around the same age as me. 🔥

Unpopular opinion: I like YouTube channels without super elaborated thumbnails. Raw is better. #buildinpublic #webdeveloper #youtube

timeforprice.com, A smart browser extension that shows prices in hours, not dollars. Helps users make smarter spending decisions and understand the true cost of their purchases. Here’s a demo. #buildinpublic #webDev

I’m jealous of those of you who can use your phones without a cover. I could never. I’m too clumsy.

I’ll be doing a series of newsletter issues and YouTube videos explaining my progress with Time for Price. - issue 1 done ✅ - issue 2 half way - issue 3 backlog - issue 4 backlog The next 4 weeks are going to be wild.

The waitlist is closed... But you can still install the app and provide your feedback. 👇 #buildinpublic

Vite is absolutely everywhere. Even Cloudflare adopted it for building workers. But there is one big exception…

Not far from the truth. 🤣

How fast should you launch your MVP after getting signups to the waitlist? I launched about 2 weeks afterwards, but I’m not getting installs. Should I have spoken to them during those 2 weeks? #buildinpublic
