Car drivers hate being in their car (despite how much they say they love it). I've just spent a week commuting 1 hour each way to my children's holiday club. I have never wanted to squeeze onto a roundabout, skip a light or flout the speed limit during my casual outings until...

Human code reviews for new features are becoming less and less important with AI tooling. Code reviews for bug fixes or work on existing features are still vital. YMMV

Eating ugly frogs with Codex is insanely fast 🚀. 6 months ago, I had a designer redesign the pricewell.com app shell. I've had a go at implementing the design within my existing framework but never found enough time or motivation to have a proper go at it. Here's my workflow👇🏻

Being a developer on a large codebase is a constant battle of explaining why a "little change" is actually a lot more complex than expected. Some musings on tech debt that have been swimming in my mind...

I just check directions to a mate's house. Apparently the A47 is a cycle path?!? @norwichcycling.bsky.social

Startup idea 💡 Collab with DHL and other lockers to offer their unused space as storage. Trying to store a bag in a European city is a nightmare even with a startups that offer space in a corner shop (often closed on a Sunday for example).

Developers as Sales Agents B2B sales relies on strong networks. Developers often have these networks from past roles and meetups. Salespeople have ZERO network as they don't come from tech industry. How can we leverage developers' networks for sales?

Has Google's AI suggestions impacted SEO? I feel like I click fewer links after searching a question as often the AI answers my question. I think this can have a good impact on search results as there is no longer a place for larger articles that take ages to answer a simple Q

We were in Málaga for the nationwide blackout yesterday. The response was exemplary. No traffic chaos, police worked through the night at busy crossings. The metro was shut down but buses carried on as normal. The market was going, cash only.

Travelling 🚂 Berlin -> Cologne -> Brussels -> London today. It takes roughly the same amount of time as a work day (including change overs) so I'm working from the trains. Wifi varies between the trains 🚉 Train 1: IC Berlin -> Köln 🏁 Speed: 1.4 Mbps 🤞 Reliability: Good

My workflow as an indie hacker using AI 1. Have idea 2. Prototype idea using Cursor 3. Test working prototype 4. Never ship it 5. See step 1.

Any other indie hackers selling to solopreneurs find this is a buys time of year for signups? I think people get time off and finally start the business they wanted to do.

I'm still blown away 🤯 by what v0 can build. I'm using it to scaffold MVP ideas. Not only does it come up with a half decent UI, it structures everything nicely in component folders. Here's a basic landing page builder built with React and Tailwind

v0 is mad. Instead of spending hours converting Figma designs to tailwind/html (or hiring someone to do it), I just fed it a screenshot and said "make this". The first version is not too far off and just leaves some tweaks to me. 10x designer

This is an interesting take by Jason. Growth does matter and my efforts should be focussed 100% on kickstarting it. I see some indie devs get almost instant traction for their product and mine has been such a slow burn. bsky.app/profile/asmartbear.com/pos…
