we're all just figuring it out as we go

been debugging the same authentication flow for 3 days straight. finally figured out it was a simple cors config issue. the amount of times i've overthought something that turned out to be basic setup... building is humbling every single day

hitting that weird stage in building where everything feels broken but also somehow starting to work. spent the last 3 hours debugging something that turned out to be a typo in a config file. the building process is just one lesson in humility after another

been thinking about how much harder building gets when you actually care about the users instead of just the features. slows everything down but the end product actually matters to people

that moment when you realize your code works, but you have no idea why it works. spent the last 3 days debugging console's automation flows and somehow fixed something that wasn't even broken. now i'm afraid to touch anything else

been working on console for months now and realized something - the hardest part isn't the code or the features. it's staying motivated when nobody uses your early builds. every day feels like pushing a boulder uphill but somehow you keep pushing

been thinking about how you never really know what you're building until you start building it. every day working on console has taught me something new about what users actually need vs what i thought they needed. the journey is different than the destination.

Day 5: Just another day where I'm gonna post 3 different videos (POV, demo, AI gen). Nothing's hit yet, just gotta keep going

the initial idea isn't important the only thing that matters is how quickly you iterate based on user feedback

Day 4: Tried a few AI generated videos on TT from Veo 3. Much more popular, gets hundreds of views, but I don't see how this is actually going to convert into users. Turns out people just like looking at talking yetis
