21 y.o indie hacker from Ukraine. Working on a SaaS product. Curious about programming, DevOps and music production.

Turns out low confidence can be solved by sharing experiences with another person who's on a similar path, and listening to a lot of music throughout the day.

IMO Sidebars are overrated. I now find it easier to start building web products with just a top menu 🙂 Usually in the beginning there aren't as many options to have the need for a sidebar, it'd feel clumsy.

Huh. #RubyOnRails is unable to start a session unless you write something to it? But what if I need an anonymous user id via `session.id`? A bit strange IMO. Compare this to Laravel, where you can get an empty session whenever you need it. Sounds like a contribution opportunity.

If you're wondering why the web page fonts look so pixalated / not sharp, this can be solved via .antialised in Tailwind, or these CSS properties: -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale; Night and day difference with Inter. #web #tailwind #css

Spent a few days checking out Hotwire to see what it's about, but came to conclusion that Inertia.js is still the best option for modern, highly interactive user interfaces. Stimulus and server-side templates just won't do it for me.

TIL there's now a GitHub Copilot CLI, which is mostly like Claude Code. For 10$ it lets you use Opus 4.5 which is pretty neat. They call it "premium requests".
