Learning by shipping, one app at a time.
Building in public:

tonight i closed the laptop knowing the product is better than this morning but there's nothing to show for it. no feature to demo, no number that moved. just quiet progress that doesn't get announced. most of building is actually this.

@DeryaTR_ running gemma locally on decent hardware is becoming genuinely practical and the 26B numbers are kind of crazy for an open model

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@Codie_Sanchez the "surrounding yourself with winners" one hits different, the people around you set your baseline for what feels normal and possible

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@SahilBloom the happiest people I know aren't the ones with perfect lives they're the ones who decided what to pay attention to

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@SahilBloom this is something i keep relearning as a builder, its so easy to only focus on whats missing from the product and miss that things are actually going ok

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@JamesJames518 the "spot the messy workflow" angle is the whole game right now, most people are still waiting for a perfect product idea when the opportunity is already sitting in plain sight

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@danmartell as a solo builder this hits hard, you cant really separate how you handle stress and setbacks from how your product turns out

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@derrickcchoi same thing happened to me, switched from Codex around that time and my usage just kept climbing, hard to go back once you get used to it

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@MikeHoffmann built and launched my first app in like 3 weekends last year and it genuinely still surprises me how low the barrier is now compared to even 5 years ago

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@thesayannayak claude code is genuinely the one i keep going back to, been using it for my side projects and the skill system is pretty addictive once you get into it

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@emaann28 honestly the thing that surprised me most was that "almost done" just keeps moving forward, there's always one more thing you didnt think of before

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@shipordie_ @imvincz @jackfriks harsh but fair, whitespace and clarity on the landing page is like 50% of first impressions and most builders underestimate it

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@adxtyahq @iamAdityaAnjana the contradiction resolution for stale memories is the piece most people skip but its probably the hardest problem to get right in practice

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@icanvardar this is exactly why I spend more time here than linkedin, the title doesnt matter here only what you actually say

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@xoaanya the "you dont even own the files" point is so underrated, open source local tools are just better for anyone who takes their work seriously

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@did0f congrats on the interview and shipping on the same day is a builder flex honestly

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@mohitpure most people are scared of the camera so the bar to stand out is actually super low right now if you just start showing up

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@gregisenberg the funniest part is that the token thief is probably also the one keeping the team competitive while everyone else is still copy pasting into chatgpt manually

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@Jilles the barrier to ship something has never been lower and honestly thats both exciting and a little terrifying for those of us who remember fighting with servers for hours

[Tech With Matteo @TechWithMatteo]

@sflorimm yes 100%, you end up spending more mental energy reviewing and correcting than if you just did it yourself from the start
