Uptime would be okay I think. Synthetic sounds a little „too far off“, it’s not clear what that means, just by the name.

I'd advise against working on the way. Get your mind fresh, come back stronger.
Best ideas come when we let our brain rest from the daily craziness.

What happens if people reach the limit of the $100 plan?
I'd probably add a pseudo tier like "Enterprise" with a "Contact us" button, just to be able to catch larger companies who might be interested.
Keep the door open, so to say.

Would love to do a big road trip through the US. We absolutely adore the countryside, the landscapes, the big cities.
But we will never even consider it under the current government.

Probably just spam / sending this to 10000 people to make some money.
Would still not click the link or doc and push it into spam folder.

Happened to Nextjs as well… kinda wished they would rename it and release it under a different name and versioning.
And then just do v2 in maintenance mode.

Great talk that goes into detail on why this is the absolute and only correct statement.

Do not talk to the police without your lawyer. Ever.

At least it’s a great blueprint for other projects afterwards 😅
Aaaand probably some learnings about what not to do.

X, Threads, Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat.
Oh, I guess I don't need to two limitation ^^

Funnily enough your podcast episode with me is the perfect guide to what I should probably do ^^

It should be fixed now, probably still propagating. I can see it again after flushing my DNS records on my Mac.

Had just become a freelancer so binding a house to my name didn’t feel that great.
Man am I regretting that decision.

The truth is, it's 90% development and 90% marketing, making it 180% you have to give over all.

I’ve already announced pausing the podcast for a while. I’m not feeling that one right now.
Also since February I’m only doing 4 days of freelance work per week, which starts helping a little now.

Eh combination of multiple factors. Fulltime freelance project, while still trying to get our own company set up and started, the podcast, the fucking world right now, not enough time for sports and healthy eating ^^
Basically need to dial back from too many topics.

Approach it from a different angle to the same results, going away from personal, you-angle to a "we made it as a team" questions
And then going back and asking "What did I personally contribute to that? What were my strengths that helped?"

Maybe you can use questions from positive psychology to remember better? Stuff like:
- When did you learn something really vital in a project?
- Did you ever have a moment of insight, where you changed as a developer?
- What was a great "crushing it" moment for you and your team?

That's gonna be a nice peak in the analytics graph :D Hopefully in the revenue chart as well

"audio > video"
That surprises me. Everyone and their mom is telling every podcaster on the planet that they NEED TO BE ON YOUTUBE TO BE RELEVANT

As somebody with 13+ years of this stuff. I've still never needed the stuff that is asked in those interviews.
Somehow I still made my way through 3 fulltime jobs at companies and 2 of my own enterprises^^

It's not really a good format for the podcast yeah. But I'm pausing the podcast currently anyway.
What I might do is talk in an episode about WHY I'm pausing and my feelings towards it right now.

Think I should do a fun project or something I'm passionately about, but without putting monetary pressure on it, to reignite some of the flame and have some fun again.
It always gets hard when the fun is lost somewhere on the way.

I also feel like, I'm just severly burned out by all topics that are on my desk right now.
So not really about indie hacking, but my freelance work, some ongoing support projects, finding new work, dealing with boring work AND the podcast on top..
Not really feeling it right now ^^

It's my go to standard for paragraph text and such! I don't have the best eyesight and can appreciate its easy readability myself ^^

I think a lot of people don't dare to do this, but it's pretty hard to detect.
Even when they request a call of a former boss or colleague, you can provide your friends telephone number xD
The system wants to fuck us, we can abuse the system as well.

I've done ten years of work in companies I didn't enjoy much. It's soul destroying.
I know the job market is hard for everyone right now - I'm also looking for contract work starting April - but I wouldn't accept ANY role at this point that made me feel bad before even starting.

I was thinking how to phrase it, I think this is a great way to say it.
If you're authentic and they don't like you that way, the work with them will suck. Masking yourself for years, just to fit in, is not healthy.

Check out Atkins Hyperlegible. Can be paired with a lot of stuff and is - as expected by a font that wants to be that - very readable.

Lol just make something up. People are lying about stuff like this all the time. Doesn't really matter when actually doing the job later, so just lie to get in the door.

Yep. Usually I do my apps so there is no admin account really or if there is the password is set through env variables that never get exposed anywhere.

Most people have left already again. And I feel like everyone except me being successful (at least that's the feeling you get when you look at socials too much) made me really depressed.
I'm considering doing a special podcast episode on all of that to explain better.

Embedded examples, quirky tone. Not much fluff around the actual content.

You remember what happened to the completely harmless and lifeless scooters in all big cities right?

I gotta say, when App Router came around, I was incredibly confused and hated it. Also it had much issues with the default route caching and so on.
But since 15 I much prefer the "new way".
comment in response to

Right now I have a ticket to upgrade a Page Router app from 12 to 15...
I think I need a good coffee and some nice distraction videos while working through that.

I'm migrating an app from 14 to 15 right now as well^^
Pain in the ass when the project has like 1000 automated tests.
