Struggling with screen time? Blockers never worked for me either. De stimulation instead. Takes the shine out of your social feeds.

Live on Android. Looking for some first users to try it out 👇🙏

Can someone please explain the term vibe-coded to me? Wasn’t there always just poorly run projects, and well run projects? People who cared about what was going on under the hood, and those that didn’t?

Code smells got a sequel: agent smells.

The little tells your AI quietly cut a corner:

• "in a real implementation you'd..." 
• …

Anyone else got any good ones?

App Store review is especially long at times, so flip on manual release and get the thumbs up from the reviewers first. In the meantime real people on your beta if given binary context can tell you whether it’s a pass or fail to them. This can be subjective ie “Did the level feel spooky or fast?” Or objective “could you find this button when you needed it”. I haven’t done any game design but hopefully your abstraction techniques allow you to iterate on polish after the core loop is ready. Best of luck 👏📱

Last in MLB in runs. Last in homers. Atkins signed through 2031.

My call: no superstar lands next to Vladdy, Kirk keeps clogging the bases, and Valenzuela won’t get the reps he’s earned.

Next 3 years, wasted.
I’d love to be wrong on this one.

🚩 Walking red flag: anyone telling you to "just build it in a weekend." That's not a builder talking. That's a guru with a Gumroad link.

AI made the first 10% faster. It didn't make the other 90% disappear. Auth, payments, bugs, real users. None of that ships in 48 hours.

Real products take months. Sometimes years. If you're grinding and feel behind, you're not. You're just building.

If you're in the trenches building something real and this hits home, reach out. Always happy to talk shop. 🤝

If you’re using AI to write all the code why not iterate in Figma with the MCP connector. Resolve the UI then go native for both. They can still live in the same repo but if developer efficiency is no longer a metric then native is going to have better performance. You lose some of the convenience of expo. Also depends if your app is solving a business problem or technology problem. If it’s a business problem, then Expo all the way. Tech, then native all the way.

Jusssst made it - haha - only been live for 3 months though 👀 - I am a developer by day, AI is just helping finally push those random side projects across the line… The secret is, selling software has always been hard. The broader public just didn’t know that because for most people the programming piece was inaccessible.

@darrenmarble I’m actively trying to solve this problem 🙂 - so unsexy but when your printer isn’t printing 😱 https://t.co/z3iTZWMkOD
