writing code, chasing bugs and pretending it was a feature all along / building tryflow.now in public
Confession: I'm about to do that thing where you rip out working auth because the new shiny docs look too good 😆
Clerk's been solid but slow on features.
Anyone actually made this jump?
Or am I about to learn why 'if it ain't broke' exists? 🫡

While everyone's hacking their morning routine, I've turned lunch into my secret weapon 😆
Most slept-on hour for remote folks 🫡
20 min to eat, 40 min to think without Slack destroying my focus.
Best debugging happens with a sandwich in hand.

Border radii aren't that difficult to get right.
Builders, for the love of God, fix your nested corners.
It takes 5 minutes to fix.
Ship like you actually know what you're doing. 🫡
Don't be like me 😬

Haven't made my first dollar yet, but I launched subscriptions anyway.
Turns out building in public means sharing the awkward middle part too.
Zero revenue, but the accountability is already working. Wild how that happens.
Determined to make my first internet $ this year.

I've been building tools I actually need instead of what I think will sell.
Turns out the problems that annoy me daily are the same ones annoying everyone else.
Your own friction is the best product research you'll ever do.
The goal this year: actually sell one of them.

I've been overthinking my app hosting structure for weeks and I need your help settling this: app.company.com, company.com/app, or separate domains entirely?

You don't escape the 9-to-5 by finding the perfect idea.
You escape by building, learning, and sharing consistently.
Each small project compounds your skills and network.
Eventually the job becomes optional, not necessary.
That's the real path to freedom.

What if your dependency scanner could just open PRs to fix risky packages instead of only nagging you about them?
That's what I'm building into Check. Import your manifest, spot the risks, get a ready-to-merge PR with the fix.
Say goodbye to "I'll update that later"

940k% engagement jump in one month.
Either my content got way better or I accidentally hacked the algorithm.
It was neither. I just started actually talking to people instead of yelling into the void.
Apparently social media is supposed to be social.

I was throwing away $80/month on hosting because I couldn’t be bothered to learn infrastructure.
- VPSs seemed scary so I paid extra for "simple"
- Switched to a VPS: same setup, $12/month
- One weekend of learning = $864/year saved
Laziness is expensive.

Technical builders ship faster than they can sell
The bottleneck isn't code anymore
It's distribution
So I built an app to hold myself accountable to marketing
The real question: am I solving a problem or just avoiding the actual work?

Building in public isn't just marketing.
It's what turns tinkering into actual results.
Developers who document their journey unlock opportunities (followers, revenue, connections) that would take years through traditional networking.
Time to lock in and earn my first $1
