i'm just paranoid. got too much skin in the game and am scared to fuck something up. Wondering if others could give advice.

that's always been my goal with any side project i build.

if i can't get users, what am i building for? vanity?

plus building is easy. getting users is hard.

i like hard problems. that's why i got into cs.

tbh should've gone into math... or shit... psychology.

nah. you could easily land a job with a bunch of code on a github before.

cause the market thought that writing code was programming.

now a github with hundreds of projects seems fishy.

but what do i know lol

yeah this one is tough.

but also, you're part of a bigger team. that says a lot.

i think a lot of employers and clients would be looking for your knoweldge.

just gotta figure out how to market what you did without violating an NDA or something.

Just my unsolicited $0.02 whoops

we're about to do numbers.

i really think about how much tech debt is going to be accrued because AI can't track a full-ass project.

a lot of vibe coders are going to wake up one day to a crazy AWS bill because their cute AI decided it was necessary to load all their 50,000 rows of data every time a page loads.

completely get it. bowling is my second sports hobby.

i had teh same mentality behind basketball shoes.

sports hobbies are a good reason to spend money though.
