optimistic update sucks ... sacrificing DX for UX 🤦‍♂️

most of the time, when people say something can't be done, what they really mean is they can't do it. So make sure their reasoning is valid ... or try it yourself and bet on your own ability.

Let’s Be Honest .. It’s Just Not Fair

We’ve reached a point where people with honorary doctorates get called “Doctor” just like those who spent years studying, researching, and earning it the hard way. And let’s be real—that’s not just confusing, it’s unfair.

An honorary degree is a gesture of appreciation, not an academic achievement. Using the same title for both blurs the line and disrespects the effort real scholars put in. If we truly value education, let’s not hand out its highest honors like thank-you cards.

Y’all are asleep while I’m out here doing this.

Nah, I’m not downloading a recipe app ... I don’t even know how to cook. But I need precision. Like, I gotta know exactly how many spoons of spice I’m throwing in.

@selfmadecoder

You gotta learn Git before you start vibe coding fr. If you’re out here vibe coding without Git, you're just asking for your project to turn into a zero-sum game.

I was using Cursor (just coding, not vibe coding 😅), and I had this feature I commented out and totally forgot about. Cursor straight-up deleted it like it didn’t matter. Thank God I had Git, or I would’ve been so cooked.

@selfmadecoder

believe it or not, developer task these days is shifting 😂 your job’s no longer writing code, it’s motivating claude 🤦‍♂️

been seeing some people’s cursor rules on twitter and it's like:
"you are genius"
"you are cracked developer"
"you are senior engineer"

God where are we heading 🤦‍♂️

@selfmadecoder

I need an AI tool that deletes unused code files. It should analyze the entire codebase, generate a list of files to delete, and ask me for confirmation. It should also provide a description of each file and explain why it's considered irrelevant.

This is a really interesting idea ...asking random people for app ideas and building them. I might take a weekend to build a random app based on an idea from you guys.

@selfmadecoder

I was coding all night (fixing bugs), went to sleep around 7 AM ( 3 hours ago on the morning ), got about 2 hours of rest, and woke up at 9 ... back to fixing things again.

Got a solid SaaS idea .. finally one that makes sense for Ethiopia. I'll be Targeting high schoolers & ages 15–25 and nope, it’s not a study tool 😁.

Gonna vibecode the MVP, test with 100 users, no marketing yet. If it clicks, I’ll build it in public.
Not revealing it now 'cause early hype might mess with real user feedback .. y’all are devs, not the target 👀

So Electron was built by the team behind Atom (the text editor from GitHub). They named it Electron because electrons are a key part of a real atom — and since they were trying to make the editor work across platforms, they built Electron as the crucial part powering Atom, just like electrons power the actual atom. This all went down back in 2013…” – Theo_gg

pretty cool naming, huh?

Zuck's aura right here was straight fire 🔥

I'm planning to implement an image quality evaluation for #Nerd_Space's early posts because first impressions matter, and images play a huge role in creating a clean and attractive feed. So, if you get early access to #Nerd_Space, please make sure to post high-quality and clean photos 🙏

@selfmadecoder

Some UI updates on project details page ; check comment to see the uncompressed one

I forgot I had a hackathon tomorrow… Woke up and remembered .. oh damn, it’s tomorrow!

One thing I love about hackathons is the energy, the vibe, the work, the fast learning ... everything. That’s what fascinates me, more than just seeing it as a quick cash grab.
