tip for vibe coders: turn on dependabot before your deps quietly rot. github opens the update PRs. you review. free. i learned about it after everything was already stale.

photographers keep telling me the hard part of a booking platform isn't the features. it's the setup. for a one-person business, onboarding is the product.

tip for vibe coders: if your app exports csv, any cell a user typed can start with = and run as a formula in excel. one guard function, one file, used by every export. then a test that fails if anyone writes it a second time.

the business card is the smallest product i've shipped. four things on it, one week from idea to hand.

[Rob the Architect @0xMeireles]

killed an idea i liked. nothing wrong with it, except competitors already give it away free. when ai makes building cheap, the real skill is deciding what not to build.

the automation that scares me isn't the one that throws errors. it's the one that ran fine for weeks, then a trigger changed and it quietly stopped. silence looks a lot like success.

no. 1 miami, 8-0. it took a fourth-down touchdown and a fumble recovery in the last 8 minutes to beat unc 38-35. go canes.

spent friday night tightening the tracking on a business card by 0.01em. name, tagline, phone, email. four things, four versions of the file.

a feature that exists isn't a feature that works. the demo is the easy part.

every side project starts with a free weekend. the good ones survive the first monday.

[Rob the Architect @0xMeireles]

you can ship in a weekend now. the hard part is deciding what's worth a monday.

i'm rob. i design products, brands and intelligent systems out of miami.

lately: building with ai, shipping in public, and writing down what breaks. REMO, TendPets, small tools.

YouTube has billions of videos and keeps showing me the same 100. That's not discovery, it's a loop. When does someone build the alternative that helps me find new things instead of feeding me what I already watched?
