@selfmadecoder

i have no knowlage abt local startup policies or economies but i think lucy ai people has made a video abt it

@selfmadecoder

tbh idk ... just share your stuff and people might relate

@selfmadecoder

If you even have 1% interest in tech, take 4–6 months, pick one thing, and spend every free minute you have on it.

share your progress along the way too. I promise, you won’t have to worry about all the other stuff after that

@selfmadecoder

tbh i don’t really like leetcode 😭 i’ve worked with and used some DSA at work, but if you wanna get into big tech, i know it’s a must.

@selfmadecoder

I do get lazy and uninterested in the products / projects but not hate

@selfmadecoder

either DM founders directly, posting more on x and linkedin or get referrals. those seem to work most of the time

@selfmadecoder

I'm late but working 🔥

@selfmadecoder

it’s mostly just using my boilerplates tbh 😭 i’ve built a ton of them over the years.

i don’t really start projects from scratch unless it’s something completely new, a random side project, or something i’ve never worked on before.

@selfmadecoder

abandoned 😭

@selfmadecoder

just build it.

there’s this saying: “you don’t get ready and then do the thing, you start and then learn how to do it.”

I genuinely don’t think there’s a level of skill where you’re finally “ready” to build real, working, or even big projects. you just start building and figure it out along the way.

@selfmadecoder

too much compute, storage, and processing needed to handle the videos 😭 and that’s without even including the amount of AI credits i’d need.

plus i was too broke to ship that at the time, and the models weren’t nearly as good either

@selfmadecoder

i did that a long time ago... i’ve posted dozens of videos and pictures of myself on this channel

@selfmadecoder

Thanks 🙏

@selfmadecoder

i know who u are 😁

@selfmadecoder

too many .. some showed some spike and died others didn't

@selfmadecoder

i need explanation 😭

@selfmadecoder

i hope you ain’t a man 😭 or else get ready to get banned 😁

@selfmadecoder

i belive it depends on the quality and type of the product

you can definitely vibe code good looking landing pages for local companies and make good money from it.

@selfmadecoder

I think losing my confidence was probably the biggest damage for me

it was basically like that ant they drew a circle around .. the ant tot it was a wall, and the moment it accidentally crossed it, it realized it was never actually trapped 😭
