I built a company, from scratch, with two team mates, from a new domain, to a working product, with revenue, and we did it in two weeks.

  • Kubernetes cluster, check!
  • Stripe payment integrations, check!
  • Back office admin interface, check!
  • Automatic deployments from trial accounts and pro accounts into K8S, check!
  • Super slick SEO optimized website, performing in the 1% range, check!
  • 30 plus super high quality articles attracting 300+ daily visitors, check!
  • Setting up several paying clients into production, check!

Budget? €7 πŸ˜‚

Seriously!! 😎

I freakin' adore my team 😎😁

Mine is bonding with my cat Nianna who we affectionately call Baby Key. She has been following me around all week wanting attention and snuggling up with me whenever I sit down to watch tv or lay down to sleep at night. She can be quite devilish, so seeing her be so sweet has been a really nice treat. πŸ™‚

Learning a lot of node.js, applying dependency injection to add easy support for different package managers and versions, only changing a configuration file.

All that to add new compatibility for #yarn classic and berry to #swpm (switch package manager) 🧢πŸ₯³

Very nice! That was a super cool post, Aarushi. πŸ™Œ

By the way, when ya are dropping posts in comments, you can embed them if you wanna so that they look like this:

The markdown for that is as such: {% embed https://dev.to/aarushikansal/giving-your-large-language-model-skills-stoicism-meets-ai-5gd1 %} ... you def don't have to do this, but I thought this might be helpful to share with you!

Well, this is a pretty big win

I started flutter and I followed a document tutorial from Google codelab in official Flutter docs. First time i learned something just by reading docs and blogs and no video tutorials.
