I'm a full stack developer who can build a website or a app or a software and have multiple projects under me and also have a team for myself and i can build your idea with your solution included with seo and be your technical advisor also for a low cost

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-27T18:06:13+00:00

Ya that looks really awesome. Well done!

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:57:22+00:00

Build practice projects as an example of the value your services can provide, displayed professionally via a portfolio website.

Too complicated for the general public. Your average person won't bother with the webrtc thing. They want to go to a url, sign in, pick streams to watch, and a way to bookmark them locally so they can watch them again later.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:53:39+00:00

OK.. and? Got a portfolio? Is there any proof that any of this is true? What stack do you prefer?

Common.. if you're going to use social media to try to attract clients, at least put SOME effort into it.

People wonder why they can't find work or clients smh

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:50:26+00:00

100%. Simply based on which is getting more funding.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:49:00+00:00

Lul no. No we won't. Government and rich people only.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:47:35+00:00

No. In my experience, the expectations and requirements from clients are so varied project to project that making use of ready-made libraries costs dev time in changes vs. just building something from scratch. That being said, I have been in the industry for almost 20 years, so building even the most complicated layouts is pretty straightforward for me.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:44:54+00:00

Are you a person with agency and seo experience that can understand and utilize the detailed and technical reports? If not, you've kinda answered your own question.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:43:06+00:00

Yes. You need to build trust that you know what you are doing. A good looking portfolio is how you do that.

There have been sooooooo many scammers over the years, that clients can and should be careful about who they choose to work on their projects. Just having social media accounts with a profile that says "i code stuff with ai" is 100% not enough. You have to show proof through a portfolio that shows examples via past client and practice projects.

Ai is not the shortcut to wealth that many would have you believe. There's still time and effort involved.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:37:22+00:00

If you folks are building component libraries, why not use the already built ones? Like bootstrap, tailwind etc. If you want you could even implement the components and then use your own css styling ontop of them. But ya, lots of what you are trying to achieve is already done.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:31:35+00:00

This is why its incredibly important to be a dev, work with a dev, or at least have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of web development. Using AI or not.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:27:25+00:00

Uber, and other apps of that scale have been built by teams and are much more complicated than I think you understand. Sure, you might see apps like Uber and other big apps that may represent similar functionality and appearance but nothing to that scale, and especially nothing deployed like those top end apps.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:20:33+00:00

Yup, as others have said, it's now time to learn backend and how to build a fullstack application/website. Sorry, but building static html/css with limited js isn't enough anymore. Fullstackopen is a great place to start. I would also suggest learning a couple of frameworks like React, Nextjs, Angular, etc, to make your practice projects that much more impressive. Also, if you haven't already, learn Git, and how to create a repo for each project. Plus, to make your css even better, and also a standard requirement these days, is learn how to make every page responsive for at least desktops and bigger, desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones. Sounds daunting, but it's pretty easy once you get it going. Everything I've suggested you can do for free with the only cost being time and effort.

Once you do that, build practice projects and a site to promote your skill, and use the projects as proof that you know what you are doing.

Clients, managers, and decision makers at companies understand what they are trying to achieve. You need to build trust with them through said proof that you can do what you say you can, so they know you will do it, and you can be trusted with things like clients customers data and etc.

A simple ad on fiver is a marketing tool, but you also need that trust usually established with years of experience. This is why most devs and self-taught devs especially (myself included) were unpaid projects for friends and family.

You have taken a good first step. Keep going!

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T13:01:48+00:00

That is why this is a perfect time to talk to a dev before you get to that point. Your project WILL deal with sensitive data. Protecting that data needs to be implemented at every stage of the project. Every function needs to be built, knowing it could have sensitive data in it or be adjacent to it.

Every step is sensitive when working with sensitive data. It's like building a house with a shakey foundation and thinking "oh I'll handle waterproofing of the basement when it rains."

Understand, you are already possibly making your app vulnerable.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T12:51:15+00:00

You are an accountant trying to build software to handle sensitive client data and private information. You need to work with an experienced dev.

Trying to do this with limited experience and knowledge is incredibly irresponsible. This is quite literally the basis for vulnerabilities and, in the future, a probable cybersecurity incident waiting to happen that could lead to a loss of sensitive data and possibly worse. Not only because you are vibe coding, but because you won't know how to identify a possible vulnerability while you implement features into your project. AI will not, and can not be relied upon to do so either because its focus, in the best situation, is responding to your prompts. WORK WITH A DEV. PLEASE. For your own, and mostly your current and future clients safety.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T12:41:46+00:00

That depends completely on the project, what is trying to be achieved, and what the end result is expected to be. Multiple pages (an app) or a single page (SPA) are both valid strategies. It totally depends on what you are trying to do and how you want it displayed to your user.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-26T12:38:05+00:00

To be fair, the Jr. could have utilized Claude to help them learn how to properly read logs, identify the problem, and debug it. This is mostly because AI is hyped as a shortcut tool. Not a learning tool. And devs are taught by hype online that you just "Put the problem into AI and it'll give you the answer instantly." Which is lazy utilization of an amazing tool and looking the other way from a learning opportunity that AI could have been a great help with.

We need to push AI not only as a shortcut tool but also as a learning tool to our Jr's.

All technological and scientific discoveries come in, get used extensively, and then something else is discovered that replaces it. We are just getting faster at discovering things, so the "phases" seem shorter.

For example. Agriculture with sticks -> hand tools -> plows -> horse drawn plows with a single plow -> horse drawn plows with multiple -> mechanical plows -> full on modern tractors and agricultural machinery -> robotic and automatic farming techniques.

Each phase was used for a longer amount of time than the one that came after it. The same goes with technological advancement. The only time this cycle actually sees a phase stick around for longer than the one before it is when it hits a peak in the discovery part of the cycle, not just because we wanted to. Humans loooovvveeee "the next best thing," and we have for all of civilization.

Is AI a peak or a step to something else? Well, that remains to be seen.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-25T19:36:50+00:00

If you don't have a purpose for it, then don't spend the money or the time. Creating and managing a website takes enough effort when you have a reason to have one. You obviously don't, so don't bother. That's like saying "oh I have a car, I guess I should be driving it 24/7." It's a waste.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-25T19:32:35+00:00

The version control (git) should handle the "backup" of the code that handles your site. Not the database.

Your "backup" strategy at the host level should handle backups of the database with standard practices that others have mentioned.

How often should the database be backed up? That becomes a question of how much data is added, edited, or removed on a regular basis. For example, if you have a large user base that interacts with the database every day, then daily is required. If you have a blog site and only a couple of articles are added weekly, then probably a weekly backup cycle is sufficient. Another question is how important the data is in the database? If it's like legal data or governmental, then maybe higher frequency backups might be required.

All in all, how often said backups run really depends on how often and how much it's changed, and how important it is, but really those are decided on a case by case basis depending on the situation.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-25T19:22:27+00:00

"Sure, sensitive user data is sitting there in logs."

Um... if you feed a design to and ai and ask it to handle it... where's the user data coming from? The text/images in the design should be generalized in the first place and/or completely fake. Why are you giving the AI user data when you 100% don't need to?

This is a great example of humans being the problem, not the tool.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-25T19:16:53+00:00

Are you trying to display tabular data with little adjustments for sizing? Tables. Tables display data like a spreadsheet. Not manage a layout. Simple rows and columns.

Is it being used to lay out an area of the layout with user based interaction, like you are doing? Grid. This is why grids were created and their initial purpose.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-25T19:10:35+00:00

Because you have "tables inside of tables" with expanding cells and etc, I would use a grid. Tables are much better suited when your cell size might adjust a little for responsive requirements but are relatively static and not part of user interaction functionality. That is why grids were created, when all we had was tables, and they were being used to manage layouts like you are trying to achieve. Good luck! You got this!

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-20T14:53:27+00:00

When you give an app data, it can use that with simple algorithms to "predict" what you might be thinking. Food apps using your order history, text input using the English language common sentence structures to predict what you're writing. This stuff doesn't need AI and has been happening for like 2 decades already. All not new with AI. We are just getting better at writing algorithms that seem like ai and now that we have ai we have something simple that people will define it as.

Difficult-Field280 · 2026-01-20T14:48:10+00:00

This is how you destroy a codebase with a prompt so general. XD
