I swear, the most toxic thing about the coding world is the "_ language/framework/library is dead. "

And the nerve to try to influence coders to change up from established language/framework/library for a newer alternative with hardly any community, stackoverflow results, and usually poor documentation.

@trikcode Hello!

[Marcus Lee @_MarcusJLee]

I feel like it is lol.

My main issue is that I like to talk far more than I can tweet.

So I'm working on an MVP that I can talk into and it turns the audio into a tweet/social media post.

[Sushant @icancodefy]

Twitter isn’t social media. It’s a battlefield.

Open the app:
— 18 y/o building a startup
— Someone just made $100K
— Another grinding in silence at midnight

It’s not Insta’s dopamine trap.
It’s a mirror.
Either you level up or get left behind.

Hey!

Please take a moment to support my producthunt launch at https://t.co/OtOxD8gL5Y… I've been getting a lot of feedback offline. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience connecting with users and witnessing how they utilize the platform. If you use it or have used it, please let me know. Thank you!

I mean...I'm just saying....

[Marcus Lee @_MarcusJLee]

Back from a long Hiatus from https://t.co/E4JXPGYzL7. Needed it. I have a lot of updates to talk about.

While strategizing features for https://t.co/1NmlFFua02, I decided to simplify an email rewrite process into a far simpler one by creating a browser extension.

Since I constantly write emails. I realized the lengthy process of rewriting my emails. So I'm creating a Chrome extension for the browser.

The main goal of the extension is to make rewriting emails simple, consistent, and easy to access.

I finally did it!

My search engine for prompt templates is done.

I'm still tweaking some things but it feels so good to make it to this point.

I hope many of you make it. Just keep going!

@NanouuSymeon Daily! I built a prompt search engine, check it out at https://t.co/j5YdkQUJoh

@sweetcarolinatv Hi

[Marcus Lee @_MarcusJLee]

OMG!

So far Google search console has discovered over 50,000 pages.

It still has 1.7 million pages to go!

[Marcus Lee @_MarcusJLee]

@levelsio Yeah, it's not a great experience. This error took me down a rabbit hole. From what I read in forums this error doesn't mean it's not finding anything via URL.

They need a better status like "pending", is that so hard? 😂

[Marcus Lee @_MarcusJLee]

Hey everyone!

I haven't been posting lately because I have a lot going on in my personal life. I didn't have the mental energy to do Twitter, work on the project, and deal with my problems.

I also realized that I just really like Laravel 😂.

So I decided to redevelop https://t.co/1NmlFFtCau with Laravel. Laravel just makes sense to me. And the cohesiveness of Laravel made it easy to redevelop.

From now on, I will likely just develop with Laravel, Golang, and Python.

Also, my MongoDB Atlas bill was really expensive. That's when I discovered open-source Typesense enables search capabilities.

Well, enough blabbering. I reran my search engine to better clean data and adapt to Laravel.

Here are my results so far, after 5 days of running. I'm sure I have a long way to go.

My search engine added over 300K prompts to the database. 1.4 million was from static files. And so far it scraped a little over 5k links.
