BuildBaseKit

Spring Boot foundations for developers & coding agents.
Auth. File storage. Payment. Less backend setup.
Free/open-source + Pro.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

BuildBaseKit exists because starting a new Spring Boot project shouldn’t mean rebuilding auth, roles, file uploads, validation, and error handling like it’s a sacred backend ritual.

I’d rather start on the actual product.

@patrick_kuhnke_ fair point. now we make AI read the docs and argue with it when the fix doesn't work.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@patrick_kuhnke_ that's how it starts. one bug fix later and you're reading documentation at 2 AM.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@patrick_kuhnke_ @Apple lol, you'll have a full changelog ready before the first approval email.

JWT logout sounds easy until you realize deleting a token from the browser doesn't invalidate it.

A copied token may still work until expiry.

That's why short-lived access tokens and server-side session revocation matter.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@sivalabs I spend extra time on auth, permissions, DB queries, and anything that changes data. AI can write a perfectly clean endpoint that quietly exposes another user's records.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

Your file upload API returned 200. Great.

Now the client times out and retries. You store the same file twice, create two DB records, and return two different URLs.

Idempotency isn't just a payments problem.

@Swings27x 15 sheets left sounds so close until you're the one finishing them. hope Apple's review process is kinder than the development process.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@YoannaJuille side-by-side feedback makes a lot of sense. curious, does clicking a comment highlight the exact section of the landing page it refers to? that would save a lot of back-and-forth.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@patrick_kuhnke_ the real SaaS development starts when the first user clicks something you never tested, retries a payment, and somehow deletes data they shouldn't even have access to.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@patrick_kuhnke_ probably. then she'd spend the afternoon figuring out why it keeps rewriting perfectly working code.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

Happy Ada Lovelace Day!

She wrote the first computer algorithm in the 1840s.

Almost 200 years later, we're debating whether AI will replace programmers.

Meanwhile, AI still invents methods that don't exist.

Imagine explaining hallucinated APIs to the first programmer.

@patrick_kuhnke_ @JoelDaBigSteppa this is why beta testing matters. you test on modern hardware, then someone shows up with a GPU driver from the dinosaur era and finds a whole new edge case.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@stanlee0nX long enough ago that I still remember fighting with "!important" to make things look right.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@Swings27x the classic developer problem. code is ready, but now you need hardware to prove it works.

make sure to test the timer with the screen locked and the app in the background too. that's where things get interesting.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@alexabelonix still experimenting, but my wild strategy is helping developers without immediately dropping a product link.

apparently being useful before selling something counts as growth hacking now.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@gumroad 10 paying customers tell you more than 10,000 people saying "I'd use this."

Now the real challenge is making sure those 10 still want it next month.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@YoannaJuille next build update: take your laptop for a walk. let's see how the algorithm handles that.

[BuildBaseKit @buildbasekit]

@patrick_kuhnke_ AI can write 10 endpoints before I finish my coffee. Then I spend the afternoon explaining why 8 of them shouldn't exist.
