So I decided to use my own skills and open my own self-sustainable business.
Hello readers, I call myself daCoder, and my story begins far back, since MS-DOS and Basic, when I was developing for fun and study.
Then at the break of Web2.0 I even started my own business, a web B2B e-commerce service. I developed, team-lead, VP-R&D and CTO'ed.
And it was a booming...
But then it wasn't about development anymore, it was management, planning, strategies... and other managers... and business and more business.
And then the spark slowly faded away. 😔
So finally I retired...
but now what?
As a developer, I have 20+ years expertise in:
- Backend - PHP, Python, Java, C (CGI and stuff), Perl
- Frontend - since the happy days of native JS to nowadays React
- Devops - from before it was called devops.
But I've always been drawn to backend, architecture, and scaling systems.
Thats my passion 🤩
So I decided to use my own skills and open my own self-sustainable business, focusing on API services and developers.
Yeah, I know. There're soooo many services alike.
In fact, for each of the APIs I'm writing and about to add there're numerous well-established and deeply focused businesses.
However, my orientation is to focus on simplicity, minimalism, and as much as accurate as possible.
This means that
- Services should be API first, with consumable OpenAPI documentation.
- It should be Developer readable first, UI later
- Deliver APIs that will solve the your development tasks faster and more sustainable than adding a library in your code
- Fairness & transparency - you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get. No hidden fees, no "subscriptions" when it doesn't make sense.
- Put it all under one umbrella, so you don't have to seek and partner with so many vendors
So hi again :-)
I'm daCoder, this is my new Headless SAAS and this is the story of building it
Next: The beginning
