jack of one thing, master of that thing

[Nils @thecodearcade]

Tiny, well executed apps are 1000x better than bloated jack of all trades type apps.

Be the master the jack couldn‘t be

[Nils @thecodearcade]

I‘mma be jacked at any rate

It‘s crazy to me how many people on here are like

„Nobody tries my product 😭“

Bro do you know what marketing is?
Have you told anyone who might be interested in your product about it?

[Nils @thecodearcade]

I‘ve been talking with a bunch of youtubers and podcasters about ad placements for my app in their content

Exciting 👀

@TheSpacerr Wanted to build a slot machine that gives you points per spin (10ct per spin). Most points gets you placed on top of a leaderboard.

Unfortunately that‘s just online gambling 🥲

@fredde_s34923 The tattoo doesn‘t wrap around the skin, it looks just like its painted over the camera feed.

If you want this to be awesome you can probably do some fancy maths and an AR integration with the camera

@promptyx_ai @ardent__dev Its just a VSCode reskin anyway, nothing you‘re missing out on 🙂‍↕️

[Nils @thecodearcade]

Way too many people on here focus on building SaaS tools to be picked up by big tech, marketing to everyone

You WILL fail, the others have better marketing.

Find a niche, preferably one you‘re already in. Target the little guy, make it small payments and go broad in that niche

@danellisona 20$ on claude subscription, but only for Claude design
Do the coding either with 20$ for codex or manually
10$ for the domain
10$ for a VPS that can host a dokploy instance
0$ for marketing on socials (probably tiktok)

Leaves 140$ for coffee on late nights

@mscode07 Luke warm take at best

Finding good ideas was always hard

[Nils @thecodearcade]

@shariar_design Chores 🥲

@neo_subhamoy C) i like music but i need silence when I try to focus :(

[Nils @thecodearcade]

@solopribuilds AI is a great tool, but if you really want to learn the craft, they‘re not allowed to ask the magic coding machine

[Nils @thecodearcade]

@solopribuilds When we get a new apprentice at work they are banned from using AI for as long as they don‘t understand the following things:

- general coding syntax
- reading and understanding error messages
- knowing where to start on either a clean slate or on an existing project

@vibeonX69 Self hosted dokploy instance 😎

[Nils @thecodearcade]

@enisco Can I get early access when it‘s ready? I want to say „i leaked it“ and shill my memecoin

[Nils @thecodearcade]

@mscode07 Thanks! I love teaching, used to teach vocational school a while back and am now a certified apprenticeship trainer, taking on apprentices and administering exams 🤓

@neo_subhamoy The day I truly understood Regex was celebrated.
Nowadays I play https://t.co/t3E5DjTIy7 recreationally because I grew so fond of using regex

@ardent__dev Ask yourself:

Are you happy with VS Code?

If so, stay. Use your favourite LLM as an extension or from the terminal, but stay in an environment that you are used to.

[Nils @thecodearcade]

@ardent__dev I adopted a lot of things from them (e.g. vim motions for vscode, some keybinds from webstorm), but my main takeaway is

Stay with and master your tools and you won‘t need a new tool ever again
