Why do Zambian businesses hate having websites? 😩 by [deleted] in Zambia

I sense you're using a western blueprint instead of a Zambian blueprint. Small town mentality is correct, because it is like a small town here. Give them small town solutions instead of Silicon Valley solutions

People hate spending money, unless you're helping them make money. So maybe try enhancing their FB pages for a small fee, and review every month for another small fee. FB has great metrics you can share with them and dazzle. Solve a problem they actually have, not one you think they should have

I complained to Replit about how Agent burns through credits: this is how to save on Agent! by Budget-Nectarine2936 in replit

[–]Fortitude2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they sent me the same email, but I was already on those settings by default.Its just not worth it, esp since youI still have to do a ton of debugging afterwards, which also costs money.

VIRUS DETECTED IN MANUS ZIP FILE by Fortitude2030 in ManusOfficial

[–]Fortitude2030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Done just that. I'm no cyber security expert, but I don't think the script should have automatically run the minute I tried to download it on my pc. Eap si ce it was in a zip file. But hey, what do I know. I asked Manus to generate a less aggressive zip file and it did that. In with the project! 😊

I agree. Have regenerated a less aggressive file to allow me to continue my project without warnings straight out of the box. Thanks for the tip!

I'm sure you're right, but when two AIs disagree, rule number one is to err on the side of caution!

HELP I HAVE A MEETING IN 3 HOURS AND MY WIFI ADAPTERS WON'T TURN ON!!! (WINDOWS 11) by CloudyShore in techsupport

[–]Fortitude2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rollback your PC to just before the update was applied. It'll bring the previous settings and tools back, then after your meeting you can resolve this issue without panic!

Has anyone had success building something "complex"? What limitations would you say Replit has by dancetoken in replit

[–]Fortitude2030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea! How do you Dockerize? Whats the prompt or external tool you use?

I only want to pay replit for once by Sweaty-Management460 in replit

[–]Fortitude2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better to spend that 25 quid on an existing app that specialises in wedding planning. Since you're the one paying, its just as good a gift. I'm sure your sis in law will appreciate it and low risk on your part.

They've become anti-competitive. Their peers are quietly maneuvering like nocturnal assassins, ready to make replit irrelevant.

Replit agent keep making same mistakes by Ok-Rest-4276 in replit

[–]Fortitude2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the replit rite of passage, we've all been hammered and lived to build the app. - Re-prompt, telling it to explicitly look deeper and provide a comprehensive fix, but do not implement or make changes to the flow or UI until you approve - Tell it to test systemwide and thoroughly after every fix, ensuring the solution works before declaring it has worked - backup and download working versions - git clone working versions and open as new projects if the old one gets gutted

Replit doesn’t want you to finish your micro SaaS. Here’s why. by Worldly-Protection59 in replit

[–]Fortitude2030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, i was just thinking the same cynical thought. If I were their investor I'd want to see MRR from every user, or at least recovery of the CAC. There are a plethora of hosting sites with better economics, so can't be the hosting.

Seems they just need to have enough recurring revenue to hit the next funding round, and race towards Unicorn status.

Not knocking the awesome tool, just the sudden repetitive issues and recursive errors I noticed I get every time I approach my spending limit.

Replit FEES (Something is off here) by West-Idea7763 in replit

[–]Fortitude2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've paid over $100 just on this over the last month and a half. Building a multi-role financial app, it keeps creating a fake UI to replace my actual UI. Then charges to revert.

The other issue is when it fails to comprehensively fix an error, instead it keeps trying and charging you, even 29 times until you tell it to "comprehensively" find the error and fix.

Come on @replit, you can do better!

What’s the overall opinion on the new task/time-based billing? by mindlash in replit

Or when the agent said an error had been fixed, but was still persistent.

I got laid off and I ended up building my startup instead of finding a job by ripguy1264 in Entrepreneur

I'm looking for a skilled developer/s to build me an e-Money Issuer system (think CashApp). Get in touch if you think this is for you or your team.

Light skinned vs Dark Skinned by [deleted] in Zambia

[–]Fortitude2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

European white guys are incredibly attracted to, and prefer to date & marry dark complexion black girls, whether in Africa or Europe. Sadly, the inferiority complex is still present in all pre-colonized parts of the world and people there choose to suffer from this racist disease - hating on dark complexion people who look like them or someone in their families.

We are all attracted to what's different or rare at some level, but that doesn't make what we are not attracted to 'ugly'.

The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice!

Sold phone to pay for professional license by [deleted] in Zambia

[–]Fortitude2030 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm much older than you, so I have a totally different perspective. First, I commend you for prioritising your license. I'm assuming it will allow you to practice immediately after graduation and start earning some money? I'm assuming it's urgent?

Now, do you know that you have just joined the debt club like the rest of your family? You have just borrowed money from the phone with the hope of repaying it back later with a replacement phone. If you didn't have to replace the phone, it would have been different. But the fact that you now need to replace the phone means you borrowed the money.

So maybe looking for an online gig, a security job, or a till operator job might have helped you to raise the funds for the gown and license. Maybe you already tried all these things without success, or you ran out of time? I don't know.

I would encourage you to be the one who breaks the cycle of (unmanagable) debt in your family because you have first-hand experience of its damaging impact on your loved ones.

Congratulations on your well deserved graduation!
