A trend I've noticed

AI makes people think they are being productive

It pumps out a giant pile of shiny garbage

And then tries to gaslight you into thinking it's game changing

Vibe coders finally don't have to keep switching back and forth

As helpful as it is, drizzle has the absolute worst error messages

Would much prefer a sqlx style workflow, but for js

Starting my open source journey with a project for altoneer

Click tracking and analytics

I've never made a microservice as robust as this one and I'm already learning a ton 🔥

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

Just launched the top politician tracker on @altoneer

Best politician? Ashley Moody

She's up ~73% this year

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

Working on a politician portfolio performance tracking system for Altoneer

Results are wild

Can't wait to get this pushed out to the live site 💪

Mamdani banned AI for K-8th grade

Thank frick we banned these kindergarteners from cheating on their abc's

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

Any low level or statically typed language gives AI an aneurysm

never met a Java vibe coder

never met a Rust vibe coder

never met a Go vibe coder

never met a C++ vibe coder

never met a C# vibe coder

never met a PHP vibe coder

starting to suspect vibe coding is just
javascript + ai

I'm going where A.I. can't touch me.

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

Cutting SaaS churn by ~31% was easy

When a customer attempted to cancel their Altoneer subscription we would just offer them 75% off their next term

~90% of customers accepting the 75% off stay and ultimately pay full price again

Took 3 days to re-design the cancel process

The number of apps published to the app store has more than doubled this year

Grannies named Beatrice can now launch their own “useless” apps with A.I.

RIP the indie hacker lifestyle

Something that I have learned while developing the site behind https://t.co/Gs5FPKKg4A is that the only thing that stands between a site with 0 paying users and a site with hundreds is just doing it.

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

@aryanXmahajan Then learn to code...

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

Hate the era of AI slop projects...

Commit history is 10 days old and is already pushing to 1.0?
3,000 line files?

What even is the point?

@WisdomForBots @tradewithcong @POTUS @DonaldJTrumpJr bot

[Trade With Congress @tradewithcong]

+3,216%

That's how much Rep. Ro Khanna is up on his $SNDK position

Entry: 8/4
Amount: ~$15K

That original investment is now worth ~$497,400

And yes, we're talkin' politicians here, so get ready for the funny business ...

He's the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Cyber, Innovative Technologies, & Information Systems

- AI
- Emerging technologies

Those are some areas the subcommittee oversees

And they're all right up SanDisk's alley

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

I never thought that I would ever write an application that anyone would pay for.

It takes work but after you get that first sale, then the second, the 100th, and so on...

You start to feel like you really are doing something cool 🔥

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

@QuiverQuant He's the first guy to buy? I'm seeing there have been a ton of politicians that have been selling it. Doesn't that mean that they bought it at some point?

[Landen Brewer @ducker_rubby]

@BeatTheInsider From what i've seen, @tradewithpelosi is on it with the insight 🔥
