reflecting on Beka's speech at the DevFest, a while ago I wrote a toy programming language called "hahu" and uploaded it to github like a year ago. for me, it was ambitious project at the time. the speech aligns with most of us somehow

Dumbness is a state, not an identity—some folks really need to understand that, even if it takes a needle to get it through 🤦‍♂. Let’s keep our egos in check, fam.

Using Better Auth with custom components feels like having someone hand you the remote while you're comfortably on the sofa—no need to get up 😁. The ease I'm feeling rn is insane Auth done in under 5 minutes 🤌⚡️.

I’m planning to set up a home server and was thinking of buying an old or non-working PC to repurpose. If anyone knows where I can find one, I’d really appreciate the suggestions 😊.

"Your direction matters more than your speed. Once you focus on that, your acceleration becomes more important than your speed."

This is a quote from my subconscious. I’m not sure where I heard it, but it came to mind, and I found a use case for it, so I wanted to share. 😊

Try Remix or Tanstack beside NextJs .. you'll be impressed .. might even change completely to one of those.

Yo, can anyone recommend an offline to-do/time tracker app with notifications built in? Most apps I’ve tried make notifications and other cool stuff paid features 🤦‍♂.

@selfmadecoder

I get this question a lot: Have you ever wondered where I found my profile picture and wanted to get one like it for yourself? 🤔

this My friends, is MarcLuos’ new course, launched 5 days ago and it’s already made about $124K! Just look at the marketing—this guy is insane. He’s the perfect example of someone who really gets the principle of "selling shovels during a gold rush."

@selfmadecoder

What most people don’t realize about AI tools/websites promising to build end-to-end apps is the hidden complexity of their infrastructure. Where’s your backend hosted? How is your database managed? Since these tools target complete beginners, they rarely provide transparency about deployment details—and that’s their business model.

They make deploying apps super easy, but if you’re not careful, you could burn through cash fast. These platforms often use serverless edge functions for their backend, and without proper testing, a bug or an endless-running function could cost you thousands of dollars in minutes.

I’m not against these tools, but I think it’s important to understand the risks and take precautions when using them.

Next.js makes writing client components feel like a crime sometimes 😁. My brain is constantly scheming, 'How can I turn this into a server component?'—even if it means wrapping the whole thing inside another component and adding unnecessary layers, just to make sure it’s a server component again (which it probably was in the first place).

I know it’s kind of dumb, but that’s the cycle I’ve found myself in 🤷‍♂️
