I don't build because it is easy. I build because I thought it was easy when I started.

When you don't have an explicit design, it is not no-design. It is a bad design.

Had too much fun putting together this interaction. :D

Golang is my perfect language, wish I was better at it.

There is only one way to reduce tech debt. Identifying and explicitly trying to reduce the tech debt. Rewrites almost always increase tech debt and miss original bugs. Microservices extractions have the same tech debt with sprinkles of additional failure modes.

Don't listen to these jokers. It is still a great time to start learning to code or building your idea.

Do I still need auth, if I don't have any users?

The only way to validate an idea is to actually ship and charge money for it. Everything else is procrastination.

me while reading my own code from last week.

Can't believe how well this works. When stuck on a hard problem. Start writing down what I have tried, what I expected vs what I am seeing. New insights to tackle the problem, every single time.

Remember, customers of your startup are not as "cheap" as you. You can always charge more!

I don't need no SaaS starter kit. Wake me up when they are selling SaaS finisher kit.

Want to write maintainable software? Build something worth maintaining.

early returns >>> nested ifs

On my way to work. Real bluesky. 😍

Life is too hard. Got a mechanical clicky keyboard today. Can't listen to it because I also got noise cancelling headphones.

me: i should write a blog post my dev brain: what am hearing is we need to build a fancy blogging engine first me: that sounds reasonable

First rule of microservices. Don't write a microservice.

Sure, my code runs flawlessly… until someone other than me actually uses it!

How I feel most days.

Programming tip: Get enough sleep.

My coding process is quite simple actually. Drink sh*t ton of coffee and despair, until stuff starts working.

Have you even lived if you haven't dropped a db in production.

Software project estimates 101: Whatever your actual estimate is, multiply it by 1.5 and add 2 weeks for just in case. 😅

Listening to this on a loop, cant stop. Please send help. 😅 m.youtube.com/watch?v=qQzd...

All deadlines are made up.

Story of my life 😅

Why should I read the stacktrace and fix the error right away, when I can waste hours randomly changing stuff.
