@wali_codes Exactly, and before one realizes that it is the build that is failing on production, a huge chunk of time is going to be spent to finding it out. Unless you've encountered it numerous times.

SMH!

Spent today debugging my portfolio's custom domain — CORS, a silently failing Render build, and DNS pointed at the wrong provider entirely. Wrote up the whole chain, layer by layer. 🧵👇

Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week.

Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round.

I said sure, but first can you do me a favor

hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick.

He froze.

Didn't move.

Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me.

That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does.

These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now.

The setup is always the same:

- flattering DM
- real-sounding project
- rushed timeline
- a "quick step" before the call

that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise.

If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam.

Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.

Mine's close, mostly $0 too:
Next.js — frontend (Vercel)
Express.js — API (Render's free tier)
MongoDB Atlas — database
Cloudinary — media storage/CDN
JWT + bcrypt — auth
Nodemailer — contact form → email
Namecheap — domain(<$20/yr)
Only real cost is the annual domain.

[Sam Rome @samromehq]

My entire stack costs $0/month:

Supabase — database, auth, storage
Resend — 3k emails (really 100/day)
Vercel — hosting + previews
GitHub Actions — cron jobs & automation
Cloudflare — DNS + caching
PostHog — 1M events
Sentry — 5k errors
Remotion — open source, renders my videos

Spent today untangling why a working localhost app kept failing in production — turns out Next.js bakes env vars into the build at compile time. Every visitor's browser was quietly calling their own localhost instead of the live API.
