DevTo has no moderation or invitations. You can sign up and start publishing articles right away. Guess how many AI-generated articles there are?

My articles, which were popular on other platforms, only got 10–20 views on DevTo. There’s absolutely no reach there. People just don’t open the “Latest Articles” section and don’t read them.

The article was poorly received by the audience. It received only negative comments across all platforms. Everyone was convinced that all code should be written by hand, every single line of code.

The hardest thing is to achieve a balanced life. One where you have family, friends, work, hobbies, beer on the weekends, and trips abroad.

Sometimes, in your youth, you’re a party animal, then a career-driven person, and then a family person. Or the other way around: first you became a career-driven person, achieved success or became disillusioned with it, and then became a creative person.

1. An inexperienced vibecoder might create an app where all user passwords are stored in plain text. 2. An inexperienced user might use the same password across all services and not use two-factor authentication.

But now, almost any inexperienced person can create an app, and an inexperienced hacker can find a vulnerability in that app.

I follow a crypto blogger, but I see that almost all of his posts are about how successful he is. He flies business class, buys his wife gifts, and dines at expensive restaurants. But if I wanted to look at your photos, I’d follow you on Instagram, wouldn’t I?

Photos of your success don’t explain where that success came from. People could have signed up through your referral links, lost money following your advice, and you would have earned a commission on their losses.

Why is there a belief that we should stop comparing ourselves to others? If I compare myself to who I was yesterday, rather than to others, how will I know which rung of the social ladder I’m on? Or do I not need to know my place in society?

What’s more, if you haven’t reached zen yet, you’re unlikely to be able to stop doing it at all. When you compare yourself to people you think are better than you, you have something to strive for. You want to become just like them or even better. This motivates you to grow.

I'm tired of talking to AI. I want to talk to real people. But even when I talk to people, they forward my questions to AI and send me the AI's answer.

I worked as a developer in a company. I asked the business owner a question about a business task. He sent me a ChatGPT screenshot with the answer. I replied that it had nothing to do with the question and everything there was wrong. A minute later he sent me another ChatGPT screenshot.

If you’ve lived long enough, you’ve had that moment when you almost lost everything, but somehow didn’t. You could have lost your life, but an incredible confluence of circumstances saved you. You accidentally deleted your customer database, but a backup you’d only just set up saved your business.

When launching a startup, don’t make it multilingual until you have stable revenue and a team to support it. You can’t know whether the startup will become profitable, so early on, your time is better spent finding PMF and acquiring users.

If you build the service in 10 languages right away, you’ll struggle to maintain it. Every interface change means updating translation files across all languages, even though most of your users will likely understand an English interface anyway.

I once asked Composer 2 to add support for a third-party API in the code. I was so lazy that I just dropped the token into the chat and gave it the task. It replied in bold “This is urgent. You sent the token in the chat. Revoke it right now”.
