Ah. How cool is that! So wholesome.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 1d

Yeah for every post I make in reddit, I get 2-3 unsolicited DMs. Makes me not want to post on there.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 1d

Totally. Love the family run ones. Stayed in such a place in Colmar last spring. What a great experience that was.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 1d

Specialist at product building (code, ui/ux) and generalist at most other things.

It’s so refreshing to be on bsky compared to anything else. No one on my feed is pushing anything, just thoughts and takes, experiences, lessons. Not sure how long this will last, but I like.

I stayed at an Airbnb last week and had my family with me. The place was nice but I was presented with a rule book and a deposit that would be kept if I don’t follow. It’s really hard to support something like that. I try to stay in non–chain hotels instead as much as possible.

I was lucky enough to see toe live in Singapore almost a decade ago. One of the best bands ever to come out of Japan. www.youtube.com/live/hLesl7d...

Dang. Had no idea a band like this existed. Wow.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 10d

And especially the architecture of the build. I can’t outsource that yet to the AI.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · 11d

Hey friends 👋🥳

Kinda late to the party.

Yeah I’m not ai as for coding tbh. Here and there some edge cases or optimizing sql queries. For code I have bits from years of coding that I repurpose and my own build is already customized to run fast.

And I still like to code 🥹

My first with a team was goodwerp, an erp for creative agencies. And then solo my first one was claritask, a task manager, which i exited a few years later.

However back when I was 12 I created a store manager as part of programming classes which still works lol

The product I exited was Claritask. Built in 2017. Sold in 2021.

Would def be awesome to build another one 🥹

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · Sep 21

Sorry to hear that man!

Wishing you a better week ahead!

Me: son has a tennis tournament about 300km away. And I might be launching a feature I’ve been working on for the past 2.5 months. My b2b SaaS. A game changer for clients. And it will give me juice for marketing.

Not sure if you can answer this, Joel. It’s totally Ok if you can’t, but super curious as to why the profits are so low compared to the MRR.

Thanks for being one of the OGs of number sharing.

Val Sopi 👋 @valsopi.com · Sep 21

I sold a project management tool back in 2021 with a clause not to build another pm tool for 5 years. Spring time that clause expires. So tempted to build another one from scratch.

Having my coffee turkish style is such a game changer for me. Love the texture of the actual coffee. Highly recommend it, if you want to give it a try.

A quick yt short / and you can use your espresso coffee to make it.

This is how you do it. Grab the book by its spine. Fling it across the room. It does that wild spin and voila 😅

Oof. I am so good with this. I fling it across the room if I get 2 3 feels that it’s a dud.

Try it once. You’ll get so good at it.
