Forgot to mention another OG in the field, Adam Lyttle, who also seems to do a lot of YT, substack and IG. But no tiktok that I could find. So far my best idea is "9 MVPs in 9 weeks" with live stream on x dot com. It might get me a lot of traction and help me identify products

After further research I have found that most successful web app guys (and girls) use substack (or some other newsletter) extensively. This includes Tibo, Marc Lou, Sabrina Ramonov, etc. Something to think about for web app exclusive folks.

Sometimes it can be liberating to have a small account on x, cause then you can crashout without feeling embarassed. I had what I would consider a crashout yesterday, which is still continuing today. But I am feeling this weird sort of relief writing all this down here. It

wtf did I just read

So for now I see two paths stretched ahead: a) I keep grinding leetcode and applying for jobs, land something eventually (despite bad economy you can always land something usually) and be miserable in corporate hell in the next 20 to 30 years. Penny pinch your way into a house

This way I can leverage my existing skill of building web apps instead of learning a new skill (building iOS apps).

Full plan could be something like: a) 50% of the day building b) 50% of the day posting: porky dot dev IG and Tik Tok (that contains info on all 9 apps), porky dot dev YouTube channel, porky dot dev news letter, and this x account that I have right here.

I have a good feeling about this. Need to lay down rules to protect mental health so I don't crash out and quit: # Rule 1 Never miss gym, not even on weekends. It keeps you sane. # Rule 2 Never miss the promotional 50% even if you miss the building 50%, even on weekends. #

I have decided to scrap this idea. Better to build two useful things than 9 mediocre things. 9 app in 9 weeks sounds like a YouTube stunt to be honest which is great purely as a promotional campaign so the plan isn't necessarily a bad plan but good to keep in mind that this is

If it wasn't for PorkiCoder my cursor bills would have been through the roof. So even though so far it has zero paying customers, it's actually low key making me at least a thousand dollars a month. I never really thought of it that way cause it felt like dead weight to me.

I am sorry I cannot burn the boats altogether. The anxiety to not apply for a job at all, is too much. I have to spend a chunk of time every day, applying for jobs. Just to keep myself calm enough to work on my products. Cause totally giving up job applications and leetcode

This is the most intuitive way of describing coding with LLMs

Perspective is important

Opus 4.5 is a legit freak.

How did anthropic manage this?

I built a cursor alternative that is NOT a fork of VSCode. It's called PorkiCoder and you can download and use it right now from PorkiCoder dot com (Apple Silicon MacOS only for now). I am looking for investments so I can keep working on this without having to get a job.

My mental health is wrecked.

If you are dealing with crippling morning anxiety, try avoiding your phone before bed time. Excessive phone usage at bed time is guaranteed to cause anxiety when you wake up. Lots of science behind this. Interrupts REM sleep, which fucks up emotion regulation. And meditating

If it's good enough for him, it ought to be good enough for you.
