Hi! I'm a freelance web developer
I have 7 retainer clients
2 sons. One 3yr old and one newborn. 😄

All on top of being head of ops at my WFH 9-5 overseeing 25+ client accounts.

I talk about work, freelancing, and keeping things professional. 🕶️

I do love catching up with the industry and reading articles daily here on X. But i don’t need the FOMO .

Thanks @grok for always keeping things real. 😁

[Ruark Vallen 🥷 @RuarkT]

@sidswipe I’m on X daily. Just consuming posts and articles, and catching up with tech 😂 just rarely posting. How are things?

[Ruark Vallen 🥷 @RuarkT]

X has so many trending articles daily, each creating hype and fomo and new insights.

Love how i can use grok to put the hype into proper perspective and take everything with a grain of salt.

It’s a digital version of a Filipino game we used to play in the 90s, don’t know if kids still play cards like this today. Maybe yes. 😄 built it for my kid

tournament mode is great!

[Ruark Vallen 🥷 @RuarkT]

Added camera shake and effects earlier.

I don’t know where I’m going with this. But i’ve got lots to add 🤣

I’ve been building this on my spare time just for fun. :)

Check it out. I keep adding new updates to it daily. And polishing.

Today i added the foundations for a user profile. There’s so much to fix and tweak left :D

You can solve a lot of problems with python codes...

My printer's black ink is all dried and i need to print something soon....

So i got help writing a python code to convert all blacks into rich black colors. 😆

I’ve used ai for a lot of creative and non-creative work. And I’m thankful that I still very often see what it misses to see and the flaws in its decisions. I will deal with ai the way I’ve dealt with it.

I will install it.

@adamlyttleapps Awesome! You’re literally going places 😄 Congrats! TED talk in a few years 😄

[Ruark Vallen 🥷 @RuarkT]

@HowThingsWork_ Ah that’s good for self defense 😅

[Ruark Vallen 🥷 @RuarkT]

I've never watched GOT season 8.. I decided not to watch it at all. 😂But I've watched the rest of the seasons.

But for an exercise, these are the basic chained question prompts i asked Grok to help me write a Season 8 that i can enjoy and swallow. 😆

[Ruark Vallen 🥷 @RuarkT]

@adamlyttleapps My timeline is still mostly builders now, game devs, 3d and vibe coders. 😄

Last month though it wasn’t like that, i actively marked a lot of posts as “not interested” until it became a focused timeline again 😄

Which hits harder when returning from an international trip? ✈️

Noon time arrival: Hours ago you were relaxing in paradise... now it's afternoon and you're home.

Night arrival: Land, sleep, wake up... oh, back already?

I find the night arrival hits harder for me 😁

@mattiapomelli @sleekdotdesign It looks like the ai on the left has been training on dribble designs that hasn’t been tested in the real world yet. 😄 meanwhile the design on the right looks battle tested.

You grow by becoming more confident, not by becoming more afraid to fail or make mistakes.

Fear stunts growth. Support and encouragement build the kind of confidence that lets you grow.

[Tony Dinh @tdinh_me]

If you are learning to code for the first time: don't have a “big vision”, don’t create a “platform”, or an “eco system”.

Start with something small, well scoped, fun, creative, even better if it’s useful.

And most importantly: finish the project!

Repeat until you are good with the tech.

Build a portfolio of small but finished projects for yourself!

* vibe coded.. too lazy to repost haha

[Ruark Vallen 🥷 @RuarkT]

Vibe a sticky wall climber. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I need to see this through. 😂
