[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

@arnauddsj Actually thinking of building the thing that will help me decide

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

@arnauddsj Yep

@Hugo___PL Ex-musician, now senior dev :)

@jakedev98 Have used for a few years personally and now my company uses it for lots of things. Really awesome but a little clunky at time

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

@TerryVerduijn No you shouldn’t do this. Under the hood it will add unnecessary complication and be less scalable

Solar panels currently producing just over 1MWh per month. That’s enough energy to make 89000 slices of toast!

What I’ve learnt over the course of my working life is that any positive small step or creation can be called a success. Sometimes success comes in 5 minutes, not 5 years. Even failures can turn into a success over time.

[Dagobert - Corporate sellout 👔 @dagorenouf]

What it took to be successful with my startup:
– 5 years of savings
– positive mindset
– stay motivated with little results for 3 years
– learn new skills outside my comfort zone
– make friends with other founders who support me
– luck

Not easy but not impossible.

@nocodelife @petecodes @noCSdegree Thanks @nocodelife, would be a pleasure @petecodes!

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

@Natalie_Furn Ahhh thanks! :)

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

@Natalie_Furn Honest question! :)

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

@Natalie_Furn VA? Visual artist?

@therobotjames It’s funny. Yesterday I decided to see if chatGPT could build me an arbitrage strategy and all the details on how to build and deploy it. It’s couldn’t, because it won’t. That’s when I discovered you!

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

15 mins later: Error: Message: Service/home/appuser/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/linux64/112.0.5615.49/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 255.

Looking it up, 33 mins earlier @Pwuts1337 has posted a fix: https://t.co/cmL5u8q31Y.

This is the cutting edge

Ok finally got a paid for @OpenAI account so I can run AutoGPT from @SigGravitas and others locally. I wonder how long this is gonna last?

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

5 mins later... 😁

@danielkempe I'm picky but I really like this

[theNeedToBuild @theneedtobuild]

I've so many friends that are amazing software engineers but not builders. I can only go so long without the urge to build. I feel like I couldn't have those super powers and not use them as an outlet for my own creativity.
