this is the reality of LLMs "replacing engineers" - they're just enabling the tailor made software for one to a few people that no engineer was ever going to build any way. less platforms, more personal software. it doesn't have to be good or scalable, it just has to solve the problems of a few people and it is "worth it"
i still use my homemade '1/8th sleep' which consists of a small fish tank cooler + mattress overlay aside from not needing a subscription (or $4,000) to sleep, i can also lower the temp further than an eight sleep my personal health software uses the oura ring api and integrates it with all my other data sources (apple health, exercise, food, blood tests, self-reports on how i feel, etc) and allows me to run stats or perform future experiments on any sets of variables the true hero here is claude since without them it would have been far too much software to write just for my own usage. it still impresses me how far you can get prototyping software for yourself in just an hour or two

First time founder: “You need to sign an NDA before I tell you my idea.” Second time founder: “Here’s everything I’ve got. No one’s gonna care until I make it happen anyways. And it’ll take money, years, and probably won’t work the way we expect.”

The FREE AWS Solutions Architect Professional study course is coming to @freeCodeCamp . It's so big that it sometimes takes multiple attempts because processing fails.

20+ Reddit subreddits where you can submit your startup: r/RoastMyStartup r/IMadeThis r/IndieBiz r/AlphaandBetausers r/GrowthHacking r/Digitalnomad r/SideProject r/SmallBusiness r/LifeProTips r/lifehacks r/explainlikeimfive r/todayilearned r/Promotereddit r/Analytics r/Content_marketing r/Advertising r/Entrepreneur r/EntrepreneurRideAlong r/Startups r/Growmybusiness r/Linkbuilding r/SEO r/Freepromote r/SocialMediaMarketing r/PPC r/AskMarketing Avoid direct self-promotion since the community usually hates it and you'll most likely get roasted. Provide value and tell a story since that's what usually works. Then subtly mention your startup in the post or only mention it when someone leaves a comment and asks for it (safer option).
