After 2 weeks of working with this workflow, I started hitting all my usage limits for the first time ever! Such an unlock for me! On the dead moments of the day when I used to go on social media, I’m being able to move forward with my projects 😍

good infrastructure engineers are just skeptical of everything, there’s no way around this

I can't wait to see ATC's reactions to this 😛 xitter.cf/elonmusk/status/211091…

I've never seen such a thing. Not only they send me a code to confirm that I want to unsubscribe their newsletter. They will only do it in 3 days 🤣 Ohh Corendon!

New place for all that internet money 🤑 You should go grab yours!

X rate limiting me as i follow back all the new joiners from this post 🤣 These are my people let me follow them!

The X equivalent to instagrams vacations and parties are all the MRR posts and screenshots and we're here for it 😆

I’m 34 Solo founder in The Netherlands. Looking to connect with more builders & indie hackers!

Looking to connect with more people who host their own shit on their own servers on X Who should i be following?

AI really took the joy out of sharing what you built and how you built it. Particularly if your app is for money. It feels like these dynamics are having a shuffle and we’re getting back to the hostile environment the industry was before open source kinda made everyone play along. Curious where this leads, but it’s definitely changing

Owning your own infrastructure was a very unpopular conversation over the last ~15 years due to the hype of cloud providers. And to be fair to them, cloud providers did allow companies to scale hyper fast with a fraction of the man-power that self hosting would require. I think this is changing. We have the tools to build our own cloud, and operate it at lower cost. The cloud providers have been milking for years and now they can't keep up with demand. People will start searching elsewhere, for both stock and lower costs. And I think they absolutely should

For all the existing SaaS: It's imperative that you spend the time to make an API available for your customers, together with its documentation. MCP is nice. Skills are nice. Those are a bonus. But make that API available! Let your customers connect their agents to your tool WITHOUT opening their browser. They need to be able to do anything they would use the web UI for and more!

More than the cool factor of "built X by the pool", what I'm trying to demonstrate is really how capable current models are, and how that is transforming our role as engineers. I was able to do a migration I've been procrastinating about (and paying premium for) for almost a year. Migrated 13 services across 7 apps, including: - 3 DNS zones (without interruptions) - gofwd.to (backend, postgres + clickhouse) - newsletter - capsule.one from aws cloudfront -> cloudflare - umami metrics -> migrated to rybbit Migrated from docker compose files to Nomad, implemented periodic backup jobs to R2 for all databases with retention rules built in. And finally, built a workstation where I'm building these side projects from in a VM, all configured with code and reproducible. This would've taken me ages on the computer 1 year ago, let alone on my phone. Back from holidays. Now my infra is revamped and I can stop procrastinating. Now time to build for others

Andrew’s reminder is right in the money and i felt this myself. It’s like @dhh is explaining what I experienced as well. Both versions can be true. And what changed over the last year is that the tooling got so significantly better that we can now overall trust it. I don’t doubt correctness the way i used to. Now i just make sure that architecturally the project goes in the right direction

As I build new tools and products, one of the first thoughts that now comes to my mind is: How can I make it easy for an agent to use this? Today we don’t to be convincing people to use certain tools as much as before, we need to convince their agents! And it needs to be as plug and play as possible. An API + set of skills (and maybe mcp) are more important than a dashboard UI. I think from now on I’ll try to ship the least frontend features possible

secrets aside, I’m really enjoying this workflow on the phone. Rotate 3 sessions in claude code > ask to build X > push to new branch + PR and give me link > review code in github app > tell it to fix Y and Z > apply and merge Been feeling super productive near the pool

This is spot on. I knew i’ve felt annoyed by this type of posts sometimes but could never quite explain it. When people who finally made it continue speaking as if they don’t have massive advantage today. I know you earned it with loads of hard work. No one is taking that away. But you have to realize your current position. Today you could put a fart in a jar and someone would buy it 🤣

One very cool thing about Clouflare proxy is that you can route ipv4 traffic to an ipv6 only server. Almost everywhere you pay 1 or 2$ times extra per month just to have a public ipv4 IP, while ipv6s are free everywhere, you usually get an entire (huge) range! Since it’s a free service it kind of convinced me to move my nameservers to cloudflare

Feels good not to be affected by this anymore
