Reflecting on my journey: 3 months ago, I thought if my bot’s waitlist didn’t hit 10, I wouldn’t launch. Within a day, I had 15, so I went ahead. Now we’re at 80 users, MRR is still zero but it feels amazing seeing people actually enjoy using it. I love using it too 🤣. Even if…

Finally learned and added rate limiting to my project. Think of it as: - Guard rails for your API - Fair traffic lights for your users - Insurance for your infra bill One of the most underrated tools in backend dev.

Saw someone build ~30 apps and only hit $600 MRR reminded me that quantity is easy, but product-market fit is rare. Imo, its better to focus on one thing and giving it the chance to actually grow.

Some users hit a loading bug while it worked fine for me. Claude suggested a fix but I knew it wouldn’t solve it. Did it manually: • Checked logs • Reproduced with users’ steps • Found an init + cache conflict • Fixed in 5 mins Sometimes the fastest fix is just doing it…

Tough user feedback today. He disliked features I thought mattered (and some users had requested). Made me realize again that building is juggling different voices, and sometimes they clash. Not easy, but part of the process. 🦾
