Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Being a pessimist means your brain is great at spotting problems, but not so great at seeing the good. That’s a habit, not a fact. Practice allowing yourself to imagine good things, even if it feels awkward at first. 050

Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 18/12/2024What I love about the LLM cli tool is how easily you can compare prompts across different models. No switching tabs - just run everything directly in the terminal and see which model performs best. 020

Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Positive thinking is a habit, not a mood. The more you practice it, the easier it gets to see the good, even in tough situations. 241
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 13/12/2024The only way to get my Fitbit to recognize steps on the walking pad while working is by putting it in my ankle. Loving the standing desk and walking pad combo. I feel more productive. 110

Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I love to build and create, but my last product showed me just how much I didn’t understand marketing. Now, I’m building a tool to help me and maybe others connect those dots. 020
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Can't believe I just finally bought a standing desk for home. Game changer! 130
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 08/12/2024So many new tools to make building easier than ever, but the clock hasn’t changed. As a solo builder, time - not tools - is the real limitation. 000
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Inspiration is hard because it’s not always there. Discipline though, is like a muscle, you can train and develop it. The more you consciously challenge it, the stronger it gets, and with it, motivation follows. 291
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 06/12/2024If you’re not the smartest in the room, you’re in the right room. That’s where growth happens - when you’re surrounded by people who inspire you to level up. 260

Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 03/12/2024A mistake I’ve made in the past: not deploying my application fast enough. Spending too much time working locally before setting up in the cloud just creates extra work later. Deploying early highlights issues and sets you up to move faster. (1/4) #buildinpublic 140
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 02/12/2024At a big company, you’re part of a machine. When you’re building scrappy, you are the machine. The hardest part? Figuring out what to focus on when everything feels important. 000
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Gonna chill out with the over engineering this time around. Trying Railway for the first time instead of AWS to keep infrastructure simple… for my very demanding customer of 1 (me). #buildinpublic 220

Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Starting with no familiarity is humbling. You don’t even have an opinion because you don’t know enough to have one. But the more you immerse yourself, the clearer things get. Preferences emerge, and growth happens in real time. 140
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Committed to a name! I used namelix.com to help generate it and even create a logo. It’s a pretty cool site - gives you the meaning of the name, logo inspirations you can edit, and checks domain availability on the spot. It even shows how the logo looks on swag. Super inspiring! #buildinpublic 140
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 29/11/2024The small wins from showing up every day compound over time. Keep showing up, even when it feels like nothing is happening. #buildinpublic 4100

Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Doing frontend is like getting wisdom teeth pulled, only doing it if I have to. 😂 Huge respect to frontend engineers, you’re amazing. But alas, Signup/Login flow frontend complete. ✅ For the backend, trying Supabase for auth instead of AWS Cognito. #buildinpublic 2140
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 28/11/2024It’s okay to not know. In fact, it’s refreshing. Admitting you don’t have all the answers makes you human - try it out. 021
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Building an MVP is all about speed, right? But the moment you start adding defensive design - handling retries, storing partial data, managing edge cases - you realize how quickly complexity creeps in. Let’s talk trade-offs. #buildinpublic 640
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 27/11/2024B-trees are amazing for range queries, but you know what they can’t do? Sell themselves. It’s so easy to get lost in the technical side of building, but shifting focus to marketing? What a challenge. 🌳 #buildinpublic 050
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 26/11/2024No one talks about the hours between tasks. The ones where it’s just you, the work, and the weight of wondering if it’ll ever be enough. #buildinpublic 360
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 26/11/2024In a large company, there’s room to perfect things. When you’re building scrappy, perfection slows you down. It’s all about progress over polish. #buildinpublic 120
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Marketing is so broad, it’s easy to feel stuck before you even begin. I’m building an application to help move from overwhelmed to actionable, one step at a time. #buildinpublic 120
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Every entrepreneur faces this - you can’t do it all. The tools are abundant, but your time isn’t. Letting go of ideas isn’t giving up - it’s strategy. #buildinpublic 160
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The hardest part of creating anything is realizing how much of it is built on assumptions. The more you question them, the better the result. #buildinpublic 120
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Every builder hits walls. The trick isn’t avoiding them - it’s figuring out how to keep going when you do. #buildinpublic 130
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 25/11/2024When things feel overwhelming, it helps to come back to the simplest question: What’s the next thing I can do? Small steps add up. #buildinpublic 230
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 24/11/2024The best thing about AI democratizing software tools is that anyone can build. The hardest thing? Everyone can build. #buildinpublic 010
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Not every day feels like progress, but showing up even just a little is what keeps the momentum alive. #buildinpublic 240
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 23/11/2024There’s the product you’re building, and then there’s the emotional weight of all the things that might not work. Carrying both at the same time isn’t talked about enough. #buildinpublic 030
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 23/11/2024So you made a mistake. Big deal. Mistakes are just the price of learning. Keep going. #buildinpublic 011
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 23/11/2024 The process of building is fun. The process of understanding people - their needs, frustrations, and goals - is where the real work happens. #buildinpublic 130
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 22/11/2024The hardest part of building isn’t the coding or the design - it’s knowing who you’re building for and why they’d care. #buildinpublic 170
Starvon Washington @starvonw.bsky.social · 22/11/2024If you’re starting something and feel like you don’t know who it’s for, you’re not alone. That’s been my entire experience. I’m building something to help me figure it out. #buildinpublic 030
