swe, father, building stuff

I've finally found my password again ;) What have I missed? Do people still actively use this platform?

After years of wondering, I finally scratched my own itch: I built a VPS with Docker + Traefik that spins up unique, isolated testing environments for Laravel on every open PR. On merge/close it tears down the env and cleans up. Might open source the server build script after a few tweaks.

Disconnected from the internet for a little bit today to recharge and I’m feeling on top form again. In our busy life’s we get so caught up with the hustle, that we forget that sometimes you just need a break. Even if it’s just for 1 hour. If you haven’t touched grass today, go and do it!

I think I’m going through a rough period where I’m lacking inspiration. How do you combat this? Or do you just wait it out?

It can't be just me who feels that the terms "indie hacker" or "maker" make your product seem less serious. There needs to be a new word and meaning for this. Does anyone else feel this way? #buildinpublic

Got my new deck in the post today! Gonna look sick hanging up. Cameo from my daughter in the background being nosey 😂

Alright, I got some free time this evening. I'll roast your website/landing page for free. Post your link below, but only if you won't cry from the roast. No holding back! #buildinpublic #startup

The last couple of days, I've been so under the weather and ill. Worst timing ever especially since I'm supposed to be going on holiday on Thursday!

When building a flow where a user resets a password or receives a magic password, I think of ways to stop bad actors from seeing if the account exists. Whilst there's the standard "If this account exists..." response, I sometimes add a delay to mimic services running too. What do you do?

This is hands down my favourite desk item. Helps me work in blocks and remember to take breaks. What’s your favourite thing on your desk?

Happy Saturday! Your only goal for today is to go outside and touch grass. Make me proud!

Whenever I pop to the shops to get one thing, I somehow end up spending £50.. I’m not sure how…
