been experimenting with where to draw the line between building from scratch vs leaning on platforms.

do i really need to hand roll auth or can i let something like Gadget/Supabase/Firebase handle that so i can focus on the fun stuff? curious how y’all think about it #vibecoding #buildinpublic

anyone else feel like half of web dev is just googling the same 3 errors you swore you already fixed last month? #webdev

i love how much faster you can get to the fun part of building when the boring setup stuff is handled
It’s crazy what you can get done when you use the right tools.

I’m 2.5 days into this Discord automation, and I’m nearing the finish line.

Cursor + Gadget makes me more productive than a team of 5.

went for a late walk in my neighborhood and saw three different cats just… posted up on porches like little guardians of the block.

feels safe knowing the cat council has us covered.

been thinking a lot about where to draw the line between build it myself vs lean on the platform

like i could wrestle with auth from scratch… or i can let something like Gadget handle it so i can focus on the part i actually care about

curious how other ppl make that call? #buildinpublic

just realized i narrate my life in my head like it’s a cozy slice-of-life anime and honestly it makes grocery shopping feel way more epic than it is

made soup, journaled, pulled a tarot card, and now i’m curled up rereading an old sci-fi paperback. not a productive day, but a nourishing one.

wrote three lines of code
took a snack break
accidentally fixed the bug i’ve been chasing for two days

coding is weird like that

what’s a small web dev habit you picked up that quietly leveled up your workflow?

not looking for life-changing more like “i finally named my files properly and now i feel powerful” kind of energy

walked past a kid today who told their mom “i think that girl has side quest energy”
honestly? best compliment i’ve ever received 🗺️✨

built this cute lil recipe tracker in Gadget over the weekend 🍲

small, intentional, and very me.

it’s wild how satisfying it is to see something working that used to only live in my head 😭🛠️
