Fully stacked

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

Day 6 of mastering TanStack

Spent the morning digging into this code. Even after 6 years, those double parentheses got me second-guessing.

That's the point.

Every day I have questions. Doubts. Not in my abilities, but in my knowledge.

It's a spider web of knowledge. As intended.

I'm not lazy. I'm energy efficient. I don't try to memorise. I add nodes to my spider web.

Focus on what's right in front of me. Not the full stack. That's what the spider web is for.

Closure 101:

fn(arg1)(arg2) - A function that returns a function.

createFileRoute('/products/') locks in the path. Returns a function that remembers it.

First () = configuration.
Second () = execution.

Separating config from execution, very nice🤝

Powers every modern framework.

Once you get this, frameworks stop feeling like magic.

Understand what you ship. That's the skill that will be in demand.

@WhiskyToad Maybe tomorrow bro 😆

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@Raress96_ I was in the exact same position bro.
Push through and stay positive

Dont just vibe, smash the fundamentals too and level up

Regardless of how pointless it is because of ai, companies still test that shit

Im here if i can help

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@aayushbtw @tannerlinsley If docs are slow in 2026 im pretty sure your running on some very outdated stuff

Use them daily, my ai has never noticed

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@WhiskyToad I love you bro.. but im done replying

The algo has other plans..

For days, when i refresh my feed this is the first thing i see 😅

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@surajtwt_ @piyushgarg_dev You clearly havent worked with both 🫡

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@aidenybai Smoking helps

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@tannerlinsley @abrxrak Ive completly tanstacked my company to the nipples!

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@WhiskyToad Wtf happened to the audio bro

Nearly nailed it😆

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@WhiskyToad Totally agree — especially for meaningful conversations. I use AI to help me organize my thoughts or clean up my wording sometimes, but the perspective, the experience, the reason I'm even here to say it? That's all me. There's a difference between a tool and a ghostwriter.

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@WhiskyToad Keep it up bro 👌

Maybe it will convince me to do the same...

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@SalzmannOnX Holy fuck bro...

Youve got an actual body? I could always only picture your head 😆

Enjoy 🔥

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

It hurts to finally be a senior SWE, but the guy sweeping up my hair today has better future prospects.

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

This is the my cowardly coffee thoughts come creeping in

Resist!

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@eliana_jordan Im doomed

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

My soul mates

Exact same back story

Id prefer over the current thing anyday of the week!

Keep hustling and making your kids proud!

And TGB!

Minutes ago, we officially submitted our very first app to the App Store.🥳

The backstory isn't exactly a glamorous tech-bro narrative:

• We both work demanding 9-5 jobs
• We have 4 kids between us
• We currently have 3 failed ideas live on the internet with zero customers

We’ve been grinding on this since December. It meant trading sleep for code and marketing, working whenever the house was quiet.

But today made it all worth it. After months of winter and snow, we took our laptops out into the very first spring sun and finally clicked submit.

The relief, exhaustion, and pride are unbelievable right now. Hyped and ready for launch!!

And still I feel like the hard part is just about to begin😄

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@WhiskyToad Its good bro

But people wont watch past 20 seconds..

2 min is too long - for x users - i think... or just me

Cut it up into chunks and multiple posts?

Keep it up 🔥

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

Can't believe I stayed on Claude Pro so long.

First month at my new job using Cursor full time as a senior software engineer — 2 full app migrations, 2 new apps, daily debugging of AI slop.

Only hit my limits today.

32 hours of coding, used it every single day.

With 2 days left in the week I'll just use the free AI and copy paste like a real G.

Claude Pro is a coward. "You're running out of your weekly limit."

Fuck off.

Cancelled.

The main skill now isn't prompting.

It's reviewing.

Focus on your PRs. Read the diff. Find the AI slop and thank me later.

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@SalzmannOnX Maybe its my algo but i only reply to what i like, or interests me

Most of the time its nonsense and people subliminally encouraging me to have a treadmill under my desk

Fuck that shit

Or life 🤫🫡🔥

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

I sometimes wonder who told me to build in public and why

Or did I tell myself?

I really dont know

But fuck posting daily

Fuck being a reply guy

Im a dad

A software engineer

And lazy, or energy effecient

Depends on how you look at it

But i do enjoy watching others grow

So ill stick around for that

[TheGoldenBoyle @TheGoldenBoyle]

@SalzmannOnX Simple but effective

Takes levels of commitment i clearly dont have 😆
