Software used to be about building cool things, where we could experiment, ship, and just create for the sake of building. Now we have to wade through political sludge. It’s exhausting to see it take over what used to be pure creation

The world says we are a product of our environment but it doesnt always have to be that way In Houston, most folks going into software dev work at an oil and gas company out of college. I did too but, there’s not a single o&g company I’ve worked at or contracted for where the…

Friendly reminder not to work too hard for someone else’s dream. Build your own shit. Do it profitably. Have fun and make mistakes

If you’re doing 996 I can guarantee that: -> you have no respect for your self -> you aren’t 100% productive -> you favor a grindcore image vs results

I don’t see how VC-funded startups think they are at an advantage. The creativity bootstrapped entrepreneurs have when it comes to finding solutions due to capital restraints is insane. Every move feels more calculated and well-thought out when you have to use your own dollar

Who is building git for chats? I've been wanting this for an long time but unfortunately the UX here is done incorrectly here I want "panes/panels" in the same browser window or some other way to have the multiple chats/generations in tandem

Houston’s one of the worst cities to build a software company The “startups” here masquerade as boomer businesses that obsess over operational process and their Notion hygiene instead of building beautiful software But we have good food here

I don't think people realize how hard it is to build an actual software studio, especially solo. My revenue: Last year -> 30k This year -> closed 121k YTD, on track to finish at 250k You need to suck it up and kill your "engineering ego" when you start out

The folks that don’t care about work life balance are working on their own startups. It would be foolish to put extra hours in for someone else’s vision

20k MRR is 10x easier to achieve if you charge more than $500 per month. Think of dino industries and businesses that have attempted "automations" before but failed. That's how you reach a sizeable revenue. Consumer apps won't take you there. Sorry

I don't understand the need of ticketing systems (Jira, Linear, Asana, etc) anymore. Just give a PM the ability to vibe a PR with their wanted changes + description of tasks. Have a senior dev make fixes to it and merge it. This flow is much faster.

I've seen many permutations of this particular AI-generated trash copy recently on websites/emails: "in days, not months" "in seconds, not minutes" "in hours, not days" Please speak with your own voice or hire a copywriter. It looks cheap...
