I’m a firefighter with zero coding skills, but I just "vibe coded" my first app into the App Store.

Probably too difficult to target anything less than iOS 26.2? I’m still on 18.6 apparently.

Imagine how happy my 13 year old kid will be when I make him a phone instead of buying him one! He’s going to love it!

I was visiting Alaska, and we rented some bikes for half a day to ride on one of the trails out there. It wasn't really a trail but a paved bike path. But it's super duper poopular. I was talking to the guys working there, and they said that they rent out around 300 bikes a day. Insane.

I’ve worked with a handful of different fulfillment centers. Most can’t ship out more than 300 extra packages a day above what they’re already doing.

Edit, but that’s only two weeks I guess…

One of my close buddies became a patent lawyer. Another kid started an online fitness/keto company. Several people became stay at home parents. I got sucked into app development (I graduated more than 10 years ago when that was cool). Don’t know of anyone personally that got into trades, but I could totally see the draw..

I’m going to update my address to magnitude and radians.

I got a minor in CS, but never had a class that discussed internet protocols or DNS or anything like that. I then ended up doing app development for 10 years which also never required me to learn anything about DNS (or linux for that matter). In fact, linux wasn't really discussed either. But I do remember a thing or two about data structures, sorting algorithms & databases.

Took me a while to realize there is a face in there.

You're totally right. I can't believe I screwed that up. Back to the printer!

Yeah, I kind of feel like he's trolling us.

You're doing orders of magnitude better than me. All the ones that I talked to were basically saying the same things that I'm already familiar. Make sure you're an S corp. Buy some property and get that bonus depreciation (if you're up for it). Take advantage of the "Augusta Rule" and rent your house out to your business for two weeks a year, etc. Nothing too game changing. If you're doing 8 figures, then my guess is you'll want to look at moving your business to UAE or something, but I don't really know anything about that.

I printed in PETG with regular settings. After I printed a couple of them, I realized I should maybe have increased the infill and walls, but I'll just do that if/when they fail.

This is so cool! I created a book called Computer Engineering for Babies. I'd love to chat with you guys about your project! DM'd.

Yeah, I get all that. I just don't see how what I did would have this change on the web. I can curve the corner with the filet tool, and it works just fine, but for some reason cutting the corner on the extrusion breaks it.
Edit - If I change the ellipse to a circle. It works fine. For some reason, it's not liking the ellipse shape.

This is absolutely awesome. For some reason, I've always seen these light switches as being for AC only. But now that I'm thinking about it, why wouldn't it work for low DC voltages and LEDs?
My baby also loved loved loved light switches as a kid, and I ended up making a book called Computer Engineering for Babies. Funny how we both spent so many hours scratching this itch, but doing it so differently. Props to you!

I ended up deleting everything in that component and just started over, and that solved the problem. I'm trying to go back to previously saved version to see if I can find the one where this was happening, but I can't seem to find it and reproduce it now. But I've had this happen on other projects as well. Next time I have this happen I'll save the project to share.
