devs working for a company: how has your role changed? are you still just writing code and closing tickets? or did it turn into something else?

have faith in yourself whatever comes next, you'll figure it out you've survived 100% of the days and challenges so far. that's a pretty good track record

ok so what's the best setup for ai agent orchestration? what is everyone using nowadays?

opened X after being away for a while already feel like shit comparing my little wins to everyone flexing their money will forever have a love-hate relationship with this place

should i get back on X? been offline and honestly, my head's been clearer no comparing, no FOMO, just peace but i might be missing out on real opportunities by staying away

the 9-5 was invented to give us work-life balance but back then only one person worked while the other managed the home now everyone works two jobs: their actual job + all the household shit the system is broken and needs to be rebuilt. specially in the AI era.

this is true portugal is cheap and entrepreneurship is rare here, sometimes even looked down on because of this i catch myself getting too comfortable and losing my drive to push harder x.com/levelsio/st...

humans weren't made for corporate life sitting all day staring at screens, pointless meetings, playing politics to climb a ladder that doesn't exist this shit is unnatural why do we keep doing it to ourselves?

adulthood is just figuring out different ways to cook ground beef, chicken breast and salmon

so we pivoted from SaaS to paid communities? who the hell has time to check more than 1 community every day?

haven't shipped anything for myself in weeks feels gross

whoever invented "the customer is always right" has never dealt with actual customers

HOT TAKE: we should all go back to the office so we can chat and crack jokes while waiting for the LLM to finish the task

Stripe just proved that taste is one of the most important skills for the future when everyone can ship fast, the ones who ship with taste will win

bro just get out of your head and go do something go experiment, try new shit, fail fast if you're afraid of failure, you've already lost

if you're building from Asia, how do you handle the timezone gap? are your customers or people you work with mostly in Asia too? because i don't see how working with US clients is doable

consume less, live more stop scrolling through other people's lives and start focusing on your own thoughts you'll feel more grateful for what you have you'll stop comparing yourself to everyone it's the easiest way to actually feel better

sorry can't work today, my cat won't let me

i thought portuguese taxes were crazy until i saw Spain's their rates are insane. and the "autonomo" regime is even worse Portugal has NHR for foreign income and IRS Jovem for young people Spain has nothing close. not even comparable

i hate summer all it does is make me want to buy a motorcycle, skip work and go the beach

Portugal isn't cheap anymore groceries cost almost the same as other european countries rent is more expensive than a lot of other big cities the only thing we have going for us? good weather and great food that's it

just bought myself an early birthday present a super ultra productive keyboard to ship my next $0 MRR project faster

this is the only AI i actually needed in my life…

i keep switching between "i need to post more" and "i need to delete social media" can't decide which one is damaging my life more

i'm too focused on what i don't have instead of being grateful for what i already have my simple boring life might be someone else's dream

middle class is the biggest lie we’ve ever been told as a society i fucking hate being poor premium

everything is difficult. you just pick your hard entrepreneurship is hard but so is a 9-5 you hate, a shitty boss, and being underpaid might as well choose the struggle that actually builds something

apparently posting 1 good post a day is way better than 3-4 mid ones

programming is no longer fun and that makes me sad i still remember my first "SaaS" built on X learned so much, handtyped every line of nextjs the app was shit but i was proud because i built it myself thanks AI for killing that feeling

the problem with building while having a 9-5: you have to sacrifice too much: shipping, fitness, or relationships pick two it's doable for a short period but definitely not healthy long term

just pick one thing and stick to it, bro stop chasing shiny objects stop switching projects just pick one, struggle through it, and don't quit i'm saying this to myself but you need to hear it too

remote working removes friction but in that friction is where life happens

excited to re-enter my builder era no side projects, no tinkering just things that make money

today is the most annoying day of the year just log off and come back tomorrow whoever invented april fools day was a psychopath

does the tech stack even matter nowadays?

honestly, i've almost completely stopped using openclaw i still do to fix some stuff on the home server and some personal stuff but i was spending more time playing and tinkering with it than actually being productive

PLEASE MOVE FROM CHROME TO HELIUM I BEG YOU, PLEASE

is git worktrees the only way to let agents work on multiple things in parallel? or am i just dumb because i always mess them up

first time trying a coworking space let's see if the hype is real or just bs if it will it actually boost my focus or nah

be honest: what's your screen time at? mine's around 5h, mostly youtube before bed but it's getting better, i promise

replaced scrolling on my phone with playing with my kitten while waiting for claude code to do its thing 10/10 highly recommend

went back and read my last year's journal still struggling with the same things: - sleep better - have a proper routine - figure out what to do with my "career" long term it's funny how some things never change or at least take a while

can't believe i'm 25 living with my gf and our adopted cat near the beach life is so good i can't let myself forget that

we need a real Discord alternative already bonus points if it's open-source/self-hostable Discord is getting insufferable

it makes me sick to think that doomscrolling has robbed all of us of our hobbies we used to be fun and interesting

everyone's bragging about AI boosting their productivity but where are the products? are we actually building with AI or just pretending out of FOMO?

why did it take me so long to start self-hosting? every product is getting worse subscriptions cost more ads everywhere features disappear prices keep climbing self-hosting is the only way to actually own your shit and stay in control

software was better when it cost real money to build the barrier kept half-baked ideas out. now anyone can ship in 2 hours with AI and most of them do

just found out you can't install linux on M4 macbooks seriously @Apple? i paid for this hardware. let me do whatever the fuck i want with it

being an expert never invited me life is so full and rich for me to only explore one thing i want to explore, learn, understand how everything works and comes together being an expert might be the best career wise but doesn’t sound like a full life
