@ddsvibeacademy @AbhiCodes15 exactly this. test-driven development is actually more important now with ai than it was when we were writing the code ourselves.

"i did ZERO marketing and kept adding new features, pls forgive me and help to hit $2k revenue this month"

[Pras Samin @prassami]

i currently spend 10% of my time writing code and 90% of my time trying to convince an ai that its solution just broke my entire app😐

[Pras Samin @prassami]

been quiet for a few days building the new editor for https://t.co/6zaWQjeobS... we are officially moving past static screenshots. something new are coming soon🚀

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@rauchg the shift from "using an ai tool" to "building an autonomous system that maintains the codebase for you" is the real paradigm shift. the factory analogy is perfect

[Pras Samin @prassami]

the hardest part of being a solo dev isn't the code, it's the fact that you also have to be the marketing team, the ui designer, and the customer support team all at exactly the same time

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@RoundtableSpace we are officially moving past single-prompt ai into actual multi agent systems. loop engineering is going to replace so many junior dev tasks

[Pras Samin @prassami]

everyone says "build an audience first" but nobody warns you how exhausting it is to tweet when you literally just want to close the app and ship features.

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@KevinNaughtonJr shiny object syndrome kills so many good devs. surviving long enough in one specific niche to actually understand the deep problems is the ultimate cheat code.

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@ElitzaVasileva exactly. writing code is only half the battle now.

[Maririn~ @TopGyaru]

TAP AND HOLD TO SEE NOTHING

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@legionsdev Super cool!

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@RoundtableSpace giving claude an obsidian knowledge graph instead of forcing it to blindly read raw files is such a smart way to save tokens and manage context

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@shadcn this is such a subtle detail but it literally dictates whether a feature gets used or gnored. raycast making everything reachable without leaving the home row is unmatched ux.

[Pras Samin @prassami]

The 4 stages of debugging:

1. That can’t happen.
2. That shouldn’t happen.
3. Oh, I see.
4. How did this ever work in the first place?

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@piyush784066 the fact that nobody even knows what microsoft's model is actually called makes this so accurate 💀

[Pras Samin @prassami]

@neerajjj6785 the sheer anxiety of knowing the cleaning lady could unplug this and take down the entire business 💀

@hirbod @vercel @vercel_dev rm -rf .next is actually my most typed command this year. they need to fix this asap
