If you rely on AI to write all your code, you're not really programming — you're just reviewing code. I prefer writing code myself rather than simply reviewing and approving AI-generated code

Finally started implementing the design for my latest indie project saasprices.net?utm_source=bs This is a tool for devs to find the best prices for SaaS tools we often use, and to compare and find alternatives. Hopefully people find this useful Made with SvelteKit and Svelte 5 Give it a try!

I'm using Go for this years advent of code. I dont know anything about coding in GoLang yet, so this will be for fun and for learning. I need a place to start, does anyone have a good course or a youtube channel or something to get me started?

The more popular ai based coding tools get, the more valuable creative, non-ai methods become. Proof of human, proof of work becomes 100X more valuable. Dont make the generic AI look, make your stuff look like its made by real people.

Secure your API endpoints from abuse by adding a ratelimiter that prevents excessive use. This can be done by saving the ip addresses in redis and checking with the Ratelimit library Upstash

Capturing events are crucial to know how your users are using your webapp. I like to use PostHog for both events and web analytics. This is how you capture backend events, it's really easy. And you get a nice dashboard with graphs for all your events!

Numbers in JavaScript can be written in code with _ as a separator This makes reading big numbers easier!

AI makes it too easy to copy others. There are so many people with nothing to lose and plenty of time. So they can easily copy your idea. But the real challenge is in marketing, and they dont have AI tools (yet) to do the marketing for what they copied. Keep building in public! #BuildInPublic

Keeping track of errors in prod is essential to have a healthy app. Use @sentry.io to gather all your error reports in one place. It's really easy with JavaScript apps, just configure sentry in your app and capture the exceptions like this:

Framer Motion is being moved into its own product simply called Motion! You can finally use it in other frameworks than React Let's go Motion in Svelte and Vue!!

SVG images can be used a couple different ways in React, this is my favorite option. I create a file for the svg, and make it into a JSX component. Add height and width at 100% so its responsive to its parent. Change all kebab-case props to camelCase. Voila! #React #WebDev

Sending transactional emails is pretty easy. With Postmark I can create templates with dynamic properties in their builder, and then I just send the values along with the fetch call to send it. No need to manually create email templates with html and css which is a huge pain!

Triggers in PostgreSQL are really fun! I needed to set a column value to the id of the row if its made by a free user. Or set it to a user generated slug if its made by a paid user. You can get the id with a trigger that runs BEFORE the insert in the table like this:

Try out the new 'npx sv create' CLI command that the svelte team added along with Svelte 5 It makes it so easy to start new Svelte and Sveltekit projects!
