Lazyweb: If you were spinning up a new docs site today what would you use? Main requirements are that it looks good, is fast, and you can author docs in markdown. Bonus points if it can generate markdown copies of your docs for LLMs.

When you're supposed to be doing marketing but would rather be coding.

I'm using a SaaS boilerplate from @coryzue.com , and needed tech support a few times. Almost every time, I got a reply right away, and the fix was done in just a day or two.What a speed! I appreciate good customer support way more now that I’m the one providing it.

Someone emailed me for support on a Chrome Extension I made and we've had a long back and forth troubleshooting. We haven't figured out of the issue, but we've talked enough that she's now telling me about her life and sending me pictures of her home town. Delightfully random internet encounter!

I've officially ditched Webpack and moved to Vite for my Django projects. Here's a short video explaining why, and how you can set it up yourself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVwR...

I challenged myself to vibe code a new app with Django and React. And I learned a lot! These tools are getting really good and learning how to use them well feels like the next phase of software development. More thoughts and takeaways in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELii...

The six stages of vibe-coding: 1. Nice it worked! 2. Huh that part is kinda weird. 3. Wait what is this even doing? 4. Oh I see. Ha. 5. <deletes half the code> 6. Nice, still worked!

This xkcd was published 18 years ago, mostly irrelevant for like a decade as computers got faster, and is now very much back.

I woke up in the middle of the night and texted myself "Maybe human brains are just llms and sleep is when we do training and awake is when we do inference?" I think I need to touch more grass.

I feel like the argument of kids vs no kids was more even before the age of AI, because the "no kids" camp could derive meaning from a career. But if the robots are soon smarter than all of us and doing all the work? Then kids start to feel like the only source of meaning.

The latest code change I made took 15 mins to vibe code and then 3 hours to clean up so I understood how it worked and knew I could maintain it moving forwards. I believe that effort was worth it, but man, it would be so freeing to work on throwaway projects all the time.

One reason JS frameworks are so popular is that they delay the pain and complexity of web apps past the "gotcha" moment of success. Django, Rails et. al. are great in steady state, but hit you with the complexity out of the gate, which discourages beginners.

So I spent the last day using MCP and it kind of blew my mind. Five lines of JSON can now replace multi-million dollar SaaS companies. Here's my writeup, including how you can start using it in minutes. www.coryzue.com/writing/holy...

Just published a short video about how I built the anonymous onboarding flow for Life in Weeks. Letting people play with your app before sign up is one of the best way to get more conversions - especially in B2C. And it's not hard to build (in Django)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFnE...

I added a few example timelines to lifeweeks.app and they make for some interesting comparisons! For instance, Obama was a surprisingly late bloomer, giving his DNC speech at 42 and only becoming senator at 43. At 42, Elon had already exited PayPal and had been running Tesla and SpaceX for years.

How it can feel building a product in the era of vibes.

I was frustrated how hard it is to understand Stripe fees, refunds, etc. so I vibe-coded a little tool to show me the information I wanted for my account data. It runs in the browser and takes 2 mins to use on your own data. You can try it here: www.saaspegasus.com/stripe-fees/

In the two weeks since launch, lifeweeks.app has had an average of 45 signups per day with essentially zero promotion. Pretty nice having a product with a built-in viral sharing loop!

You can now use lifeweeks.app in French, Spanish, and Chinese. Translations are AI-generated so they're probably not great, but hopefully good enough! Also getting some help from native-speaking volunteers to make it better!
