As a father of an Autistic child, I was working on a mobile app for safety and better tracking. Complicated, expensive solutions are available. However, my goal is to offer this as a free community service to parents/guardians and use only the phone's data plan.
Thanks, Gemini AI, for providing a solid foundation code. I will share this codebase as open source for community participation in the coming weeks.
I will be looking for all mobile app master builders to join in. More announcements as I handle some logistics.
Founder productivity hack:
Rename every bug to a "feature request."
Morale instantly improves. Easy! 馃槣
SDLC in a nutshell: Half of software engineering is solving problems. The other half is finding out what the problem actually is. 馃槀馃槀
Oh no situation: My SaaS has 99.99% uptime.
The outage happened exactly when a prospective customer requested a demo. 馃槄
For those who hate touching CSS:
The stack is modern, the architecture is clean, and the bug is still in the CSS. 馃槀

Java has a weird little trap. Most people miss it on the first try :
Integer a = 127, b = 127;
Integer x = 128, y = 128;
System.out.println(a == b);
System.out.println(x == y);
Both comparisons look identical. Do they print the same result?
Story of all AI vibe coders: AI writes code faster than I do. I create bugs faster than AI. We make a great team. 馃槀

Builders beware: Nothing teaches humility faster than spending 8 months building a product and hearing:
"Couldn't this just be an Excel sheet?" 馃榿
Here is a real-world prompt I gave to the Antigravity Flash 3.8 model:
As a user experience architect developer. I think every field should have a help "?" bubble with a quick, brief explanation and a simple example. I think this will improve the user experience. Use the UI/UX Pro Max for guidance, and give me a brutally honest, unbiased response. What do you think?
The prompt worked like a charm!
For all those KPI chasers:
My favourite KPI is website visitors.
Because they're the only metric that's growing. 馃槀
Life CI/CD pipeline: The longer a deployment takes, the more convinced everyone becomes that it's doing something important. 馃槀 Have you felt the same?
Here is another sloppy attempt from last year at creating a YouTube video on AI Engineering, from Model to Application. 馃槀
Another gem of a comment: This one is legendary because everyone has ignored the warning and paid the price later. 馃槀
/*
* Dear maintainer:

* Once you are done trying to 'optimize' this routine,
* and have realized what a terrible mistake that was,
* please increment the following counter as a warning
* to the next guy:
*
* total_hours_wasted_here = 42

Behind every "seamless user experience" is a developer silently negotiating with chaos. Crazy AI madrush.
Let's see how many of us qualify for this situation:
Customer: "This bug is affecting my entire workflow."
Me: "Interesting."
Frantically googles my own error message 馃槀
The majority of SaaS founders' roadmap:
1. Build product
2. Launch product
3. Realize marketing exists
4. Panic
What else would you like to add?
Come to think of it, we used AI to eliminate repetitive work. Now we have repetitive AI outputs instead. 馃槀
