@mntruell That's awesome 🚀

When prices are low, the quality isn’t as good.

I’ve found DeekSeek helpful for basic stuff, but when it comes to creating quality codes, the best results usually come from models like Grok, OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude. Will you still use DeepSeek after the price change?

@yongfook Claude or Cursor tried to use the fast and cheap models to save them money. You have to specifically choose a better models.

Just spent 3 hours debugging an issue only to realize I was running the wrong local environment. We've all been there 😅

This is exactly why I stopped using complex modern data stacks. The overhead just isn't worth it until you hit massive scale.

Starlink's high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in Vietnam! 🛰️🇻🇳❤️ → https://t.co/1kvz40yxO5

Customer support is your most honest product roadmap. Every single ticket is just a feature request or UX friction point in disguise.

Do you guys prefer reading technical deep dives or transparent revenue/growth updates? Trying to figure out what to write about next week.

Tried out Cloudflare Containers today but it's too slow.

The time it takes for containers to start up from a cold state is significantly longer compared to Google Cloud Run. I guess I still need to stick to Google Cloud Run for a while.

I stripped Kubernetes, Redis, & event buses from my stack for a lean Node + SQLite setup. Result? 99.99% uptime and zero devops fatigue.

@yongfook The UI looks so clean. It makes everything easy to navigate.

My #1 productivity metric isn't lines of code written. It's 'hours of uninterrupted deep work.'

4 hours of focus beats 12 hours of reactive context switching.

If I can't build a v1 of a feature in 4 hours, I slice the scope in half until I can. Momentum is everything.

The hardest part of going from SWE to indie hacker isn't learning marketing. It's unlearning the instinct to optimize for edge cases that will never happen.

@daniel_nguyenx Definitely it happens to everyone. How to drive traffic from AI agents to your app is still unclear.

Build in public milestone: 50% of my time on Ringblaze is now purely customer discovery. Never hide behind your terminal when distribution is the real bottleneck.

What's the most over-engineered thing you built before realizing you just needed a simple Postgres table?

[Liem Do @liemdo_]

Boring technology > clever abstractions. Every single time.
