I’m not a fan of huge methods, but sometimes it’s easier and more straightforward to have a chonky method than to break everything up for the sake of smaller methods alone.

I never realized how intricate the billing page in SaaS apps can be! I knew they were complicated, but wow did I underestimate this!

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 21/10/2025

In God we trust, all others must write tests.

Team: Let's do a production release today. GitHub: I don't think so...

That moment when CI says you don't have enough test coverage... Me: WHAT! I wrote so many tests!!! Also me: Oh, I forgot to push them up...

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 27/09/2025

When tests pass locally but fail in CI for no reason...

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 26/09/2025

This weekend will be filled with cornhole, billing, coding, and moving prep! It's gonna be chaos and it's gonna be fun!!

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 24/09/2025

That feeling when you get a production alert that something is broken and you know exactly how to fix it before even looking at the code!

The struggle to launch quickly vs correctly is hitting hard tonight!

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 23/09/2025

I'm building my own very custom billing system for @myportal.church. Could I build it directly into the core software itself? Yes. Did I? Nope! It's built as a package so I can use it over and over again in any future crazy project I come up with!

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 22/09/2025

just had my first root canal today and no one asked me for sudo access. should i be concerned?

Writing parent/child data sync services involves covering so many edge cases! I can't believe I forgot about this one!

We love a sudden $400 UPS battery replacement bill…

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 05/09/2025

I’ve been working on writing all the software that my business needs to slowly replace paying for generic software that I don’t love. One of the items on my list is project management software. I’ve probably written this 2 or 3 times and I still hate it!

Every great code comment starts with an acknowledgment that what follows does not make sense!

Working on some feature flagging code and let me tell you… I have built myself both a very flexible and very complex system! Do I need this level of functionality? Absolutely not! Did I want to build it anyways? Ya darn tootin I did!!

Part of writing a recommendation engine is collecting user analytics. This has been a fun project to work on!

- Contract/Licensing Code ✅ - Self Serve Signup Code 🛠️ - Billing Code ⏰ This is the way to write it! Contracts/Licenses completely decoupled from billing code! When something happens in billing, fire off an event that licensing is listening for!

I both love writing this type of business logic code and hate debugging it all at the same time!

Sunday morning coding at my favorite coffee shop, learning react with the help of Claude. AI can be a great teacher if you review the code it writes and seek to understand.

The @myportal.church marketing site will be going live soon! Just need to finish implementing the theme design and then it should be ready!

You make one small change when suddenly... Okay, maybe it wasn't that small... 😏

Just released v1.0 of @phpgenesis.com! I guess it's time to upgrade all my internal packages!

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 06/08/2025

I'm delaying the @myportal.church launch for a bit. There's enough launch-prep that still needs to be done in order to really bring it home!

022

Marc Beinder @marcbeinder.com · 03/08/2025

The biggest thing slowing down the @myportal.church launch is getting the initial version of the marketing site just right...

Starting the morning off with a little music schedule refinement! #RadioLife!!
