AI era: The time when the senior software engineer role makes sense. Review. Review. Review.

Windsurf pro tip: -/ Use 3.7 (thinking) for writing -/ Use 3.7 or 3.5 for chatting You can thank me later. Enjoy the vibe! πŸ•Ί

1/ There were times in my indie journey when I just wanted to give up. – Customers churn – Fraud and abuse – Little to no conversion – You name it

✨ I'm working on a new project: Uneed Games UG will be a launch platform similar tu Uneed, but dedicated to video games Wanna be notified when we launch? www.uneedgames.com

First time founders start with code. Second time founders start with potential customers + landing page + etc. Marketing, marketing, marketing.

Despite the greatness of Next.js and Astro, has any of you built and maintained a landing page that's built with Vite and React? What are the downsides? I'm considering detangling the stack from the ever-changing JS ecosystem here.

Use 3.7 for architecting and/or implementing a feature. Use 3.5 for focused tasks. Now we have a superteam of engineers. And guess what? You are now getting promoted to be the CTO.

Is it just me? I tried the same prompt in Claude Sonnet 3.7 and OpenAI o3-mini-high for a simple design decision in React code. Claude Sonnet 3.7 decided to follow the design convention, but it followed the code that I've commented out. Continued... πŸ‘‡

Claude Sonnet 3.7 is nice... Until you get rate limited πŸ₯Ή

Anyone still documenting indie-making journey on blog or newsletter? I miss a good ol' writing that's free from algorithm-pleasing notions. Am I getting old? πŸ˜…

These days are crazy. – Endless customer support – Tool launches – etc One thing for sure, doing SaaS is freakin’ hard! Now trying to get calm while watching the fire around me. P.S. I feel bad when I miss your important update. Send me one?

We didn't make it to the top 3, but that's okay! Thank you for your support for this little tool. If you happen to make something cool with it, please don't be hesitant to tell me πŸ˜‰ Cheers! πŸ₯‚

Climbed to the 4th place, thanks to @poppacalypse.bsky.social πŸŽ‰πŸ«Ά Can we get to the 3rd place? 🀞

Makers, I need your help πŸ™ Currently Markdown to email is at the 5th place and a few votes away to climb up. My goal is to reach the top 3 (am I asking too much? πŸ₯²). Please do your magic! πŸͺ„

It's the launch time... πŸš€ Markdown to email is on Uneed right now! @tsanlis.bsky.social has made a great product, so it's a must to try the platform. Makers, friends, or whoever read this post, you know what to do, don't you? πŸ˜‰ www.uneed.best/tool/markdow...
