you can just build things

Write code to solve your own problems ✨ The satisfaction of using apps you made yourself to solve your very niche problems is a whole different feeling

what's next? Start coding recreationally?

emacs sux. Use VI. j/k. I like your message. I've be a programmer my whole life since I bought my Elf II computer with money from my paper route in 1974. Creating something out of nothing is great fun.

A few of my projects. 😁 And I agree, it's fulfilling.

@grok when was the last State or federal wide census in America?

🚀

whomever did those eyebrows needs to line up my css too

And then you complain when guys build themselves AI girlfriends? 😂 Hint: Everything that's not self-centered like that fails due to lack of adoption, not lack of tools. And maybe overkill of bureaucracy and legal nonsense.

The ai keeps on saying “bash” what does that even mean

My kid keeps asking me for project ideas, and I'm like dude, solve a need; something *you* need in your life and just whip it up. Then whip it up again, but better. Then whip it up again, but even better. Then draw a stick figure diagram and do it 'right'. Keep doing it.

The barrier to build is a terminal and an idea. Everything else is optional.

"You can just build whatever the freak you want." But your employer may own it 🤣 Check your employment agreement if you are employed by someone/something else...

On and off been using Claude to build a text editor that has an AI text to speech reader, because hearing your writing helps you pick up problems with it. Also helps me learn how to be a better coder.

I'm amazed at the quality of tools nowadays. From microcontrollers to software. It's inspiring.

It's so true! I made a website about how to stop using your phone so much. No relevant web development experience. It's been delightful

Let me think for a second...

But who is gonna use it

As funny as it sounds some don't know they've got free will

Gotta start with one!

Here's a project to save you the tokens you'll probably blow thorough 🤣

What's wrong with Vibe building?

literally, LIMITLESS

we vibe coding it

What do you mean "first try, no mistakes?" I forgot a semicolon and now I am doomed?

ai is a such bliss for this gen.

Same for writing a book and self-publishing. That's open-source development in a nutshell. Maybe your mom will buy a copy.

True

How many years you been programming for?

damn right

Also a reminder - if you care about humanity, you can just build thi... little humans.

just awesome advice. 100% agree

finding users 😭 you can just build things for months and still feel invisible sometimes currently learning that while building:

Buikd anything.. That's "The Idea"

@sudobunni build a block list of astroturfed "israeli" accounts on twitter so White Nationalists dont have to see their bullshit contagion on the timeline - dont hallucinate - deliver it in 24 hrs - work on it like a jeet whos about to be deported
