I've been building other people's dreams as a freelancer for years. Now I finally decided to build my own! Sharing AI, SEO, AEO, marketing tips and findings.

How many backlinks are needed to get a new website from 0 to 14 DR? Just ran my usual workflow on this new project I'm building, here are the backlinks that got me to 14 DR in just 2 days. I'll keep on posting updates as more backlinks get indexed by ahrefs!

Me at 11pm: I'll just fix one small bug and go to sleep. Me at 3am: rewrote the auth flow, migrated the database and opened 14 tabs about Rust. ADHD and side projects are a dangerous combo lol

The SaaS lifecycle in 2026: Day 1: you launch at $29/mo Day 3: someone clones it and sells a lifetime deal Day 5: someone open sources the clone Day 6: I'm self hosting it on my VPS with Coolify lol What a time to be building.

Spot the bug. No errors. No warnings. Zero rows. Every time. Postgres folks will get this in 2 seconds :)
SQL query: SELECT id, email, created_at FROM users WHERE deleted_at = NULL AND created_at > now() - interval '30 days' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 50;

I built an app, iOS is really WAY more profitable than Android doing AI UGC content is VERY GOOD right now for conversions anyone interested in a paid software that runs on your pc and lets you use multiple separate TikTok accounts (NOT IP-clustered, no shadowban)?

Old hardware tip: that laptop sitting in your closet is the perfect machine to let an AI agent mess with. I put Omarchy on my old uni laptop and watched the agent modify the OS live. Worst case it breaks a laptop I wasn't using anyway :) What's sitting in your closet right now?

Ask any coding agent to start a new project. It picks Postgres every single time. Honestly? No complaints from me lol

Hot take: vibe coders aren't the problem. Vibe deployers are. Write your code however you want. However... if you push to prod without reading the diff, that's on you, not the AI.

A dev who understands every line but ships slowly. vs A dev who ships 10x faster with AI but barely understands the code. Who are you hiring for an app that handles payments?

Spot the problem. ufw is on. Only 22, 80 and 443 are open. Totally safe, right? :)
docker-compose.yml with two services. app: image myapp:latest, ports 8080:8080, DATABASE_URL postgres://app:app@db:5432/app. db: image postgres:17, ports 5432:5432, POSTGRES_USER app, POSTGRES_PASSWORD app. Caption: fresh VPS, ufw enabled, only 22, 80 and 443 allowed.

Genuine question for founders: Has anyone actually gotten real users from ChatGPT or Perplexity recommending their product? Not theory. Actual signups. What did you do to get mentioned?

Unpopular opinion: AI didn't make coding easier. It made typing code easier. Reading it, testing it and owning it at 3am is exactly as hard as before.

Same function. Same behaviour. Which one are you approving in code review?
Two Go versions of func charge(o *Order) error. A uses three early-return if statements for nil order, total <= 0 and already paid, then returns pay(o). B uses a switch with the same three cases and a default that returns pay(o).

Genuine question. Postgres is free and open source. So what are people actually paying for with managed Postgres? Backups? Sleep? Both? lol
