I'm Ashish.

Full stack developer building SaaS and sharing what I learn.

Things you'll see here:
• React tips
• SaaS lessons
• AI tools for developers
• Building in public

Follow along if you're building online.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@0xBebis_ Nobody talks about the cost of vibe coding.

Claude, cursor, vercel, supabase.

You’re paying $200/month in tools
to build a product making $0.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@dramaricic lmao, classic Claude move. Can't even trust the bug-free claim anymore. It's like they make it a game to hit those limits.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@hamzaalabou man, same here. those edge cases will sneak up on you, right? i usually just try to build a style guide for consistency. helps a bit, but not foolproof. what tools are you using?

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@trigguuuu bro, Zakir really knows how to flip the script. Goldi thought he could play it cool, but got schooled instead. Love to see it.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@SimonHoiberg facts. it’s like we’re building a house with a door from one store, windows from another, and a roof from somewhere else. at some point, you're just asking for leaks.

@iamsahilvhora Looks Clean 👏

Just one issue project container use flex-items start instead of center it looking misaligned on larger view port

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

I used to give “accurate” estimates.

And still missed them.

If something felt like 3 days, I said 3.
Clean. Confident. Wrong.

Because those 3 days were never just coding.

It was:
Unclear edge cases
Random bugs
Interruptions
Context switching
“Quick” discussions that weren’t quick

And suddenly 3 quietly became 5.

No one questioned my skill.
But predictability? Gone.

So I changed one small thing.

Now if it feels like 3 days, I say 3–4.

Not to pad.
To account for reality.

That shift did more than fix timelines.

I stopped rushing.

And that created something unexpected…

Thinking space.

Instead of closing the ticket ASAP, I started noticing things:
A component doing unnecessary re-renders
A slow interaction that felt slightly off
A messy abstraction I had ignored earlier

Small things.
Not in the requirement.
But very visible once fixed.

Over time, those “unplanned improvements” started stacking.

Not because I worked extra hours.
But because I finally had room to think while building.

The interesting part is this:

That extra 10–20% isn’t buffer.

It’s where better engineering actually happens.

But I still struggle with one thing…

When should I quietly improve something…
And when should I call it out and make it visible?

How do you approach this in your team?

Hi @shadcn,

I'm currently using shadcn/ui (with Radix UI primitives) in a production SaaS dashboard. I'm considering switching to Base UI with shadcn/ui, but I'm struggling to find clear reasons to make the switch.

Could you share your thoughts on this?

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

Dear @claudeai, please fix the Claude Code usage limit bug asap.
My $100 plan feels like a $20 plan for almost a week now.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@pb3060 damn, she really made an impact there. can't believe it’s come to this. curious where she’s headed next.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@thesayannayak it's all about the user data and patterns, right? like when everyone suddenly slows down, even if you can't see them. wild how that works.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@orevbajohn_ cool idea! how's it work under the hood? always curious about the tech behind these things.

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@elonmusk facts, sometimes the simplest things hit the hardest

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@techdroider for real, that keynote was a whole vibe. felt like they were flexing on everyone. gotta admit, some of those features had me thinking, 'do I really need this?' lol

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@TechByTaraa Recently migrated from postman to @hoppscotch_io and team is lovely it

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

If you start an app now, please don't use:

1. Supabase = you will regret it.
→ use Convex, Neon, Better-Auth instead
2. Clerk = this is the worst choice ever
→ use Better-Auth instead
3. Supabase Storage or AWS S3
→ use Cloudflare R2, this is the cheapest you can have
4. Namecheap: laggy, buggy, boring
→ use Porkbun or Cloudflare
5. MongoDB = just don't

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@thsottiaux this is gonna be fun. time to unleash some chaos with those plugins. let's see what breaks! lol

[Ashish Patel @ashishxcode]

@rileybrown @OpenAI been thinking the same. Codex is already pretty solid, can't imagine what they'll cook up next. I'm lowkey excited for it
