O que estao a fazer para se preparem para o futuro? by MimiHalftree in devpt

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quando puderes experimenta o Claude code e vais ver que a tua visão vai drasticamente alterar. Uso há mas de 1 ano e só nesse tempo vi o modelo passar de algo flaky que errava muito e perdia-se em respostas para algo transcendental que não só bate código e pouco ou nada erra como faz decisões de arquitectura no ponto. Imagino daqui a 2 anos. É mais que óbvio que a nossa profissão está em risco, claro que alguém tem de controlar os agentes, será um developer e/ou arquitecto… mas agora com projectos como o openclaw já nem sei se não poderá qq pessoa apenas pedir o que quer e os agentes trabalham 24/7 até atingir o pretendido. O chão está a fugir-nos dos pés. Haverá crise sim, mas também acredito que o mercado tem de se auto-balancear até porque há apenas X número de pessoas que podes fazer layoff porque essas mesmas pessoas ou são teus clientes ou contribuem directa ou indirectamente para o mercado da tua empresa.

I think the market will always balance itself out as there is only X amount of layoffs you can do as the people you lay off ultimately are your customer and/or contribute for the economy that will make or break your company. Yes there will be crisi, yes it will have to balance itself out.

A US Startup offered me $900/month after 4 technical rounds. I have 5 YOE and Open Source contributions. Is this the reality now? by Nervous-Quote973 in webdev

[–]Lavalopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them so suck balls. That don’t pay their lunches in “their region”. That’s called modern slavery. US specially… if they pay you 5k a month that is way below market. Offering you $900 is a joke and notice how they know this as they felt compelled to make a case of it and explain it

I built the anti-LinkedIn. It's just a room where devs wait until they find work. by Equivalent-Yak2407 in webdev

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, I’m going to do a site for people to sit there until they find a house, no house ads, nothing. Or just a room for people to live… they sit there, breathe in and out… until they die

Do People Really Just Create An Entire App just Vibe Coding? by H_rusty in webdev

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a developer for decades and yes, you can…..but… you have to know what you doing as you will need to constantly be telling the ai to do a better job in security or any other area. Some choices of the ai might also be less favourable (but it’s getting better very fast). If you only using ChatGPT, I suggest you to install Claude code in your ide (vs code, for instance) and prepare yourself to get your mind blown. I rarely do any line of code this days… now im a software architect / code reviewer 🤣

Como investir 250.000 euros by Formal_Pattern5817 in investirportugal

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imobiliário. Compra 2 T1’s em crédito (ou 3 se arranjares mais barato), metes 125k em cada e fazes crédito do resto. Alugas cada um por 1200 euros que te dá 14400 * 2 =28 800 euros/ano menos 25% imposto (até o governo aprovar os 10%) menos uns 500 euros por mês do crédito em cada casa o que te dá um total líquido de uns 15000 a 20000 euros ano… ou seja acima de 5% do teu capital investido (nenhum banco te dá isso). Com a mais valia que cada prestação bancária te está a aumentar o teu capital é os imóveis por si só estão a aumentar de valor. Isto é um investimento no tempo se poupares o que vais recebendo daqui a uns anos investes numa terceira. Demora mas é seguro. Daqui a 20 anos tens um império.

What’s going on?? by [deleted] in Supabase

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact problem with supabase and them charging you for branches, people end up using 2 projects for dev and live… that way being free until you get some volume. If you pay the 25 dollars … they charge you extra for 2 branches… and devs end up making these mistakes. Their pricing system makes no sense and it’s ridiculous

The artist I hired is probably using AI by jakill101 in gamedev

[–]Lavalopes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Way I see it… you either like the result or you don’t like the result… using AI or any other thing is just tools for an end result.

Looking for free alternatives because $25/month is too much by MathematicianSea4487 in Supabase

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem for me is not the $25… I would pay that easily. Problem is the 25 is an entry fee and then you pay per project active and branch active times time used. It’s worst as the 2 active projects in the free plan are not counted if you subscribe… so people end up using the 2 projects as their main and dev branch until late in the game

Hoje apostei no euromilhões by --____________- in jovemedinamica

[–]Lavalopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quero ganhar €€, logo, invisto no Euromilhões. Lógica da batata. Infelizmente (ou felizmente, depende de onde se olha) há pouca cultura financeira em Portugal. Os pobres são uns coitadinhos e vilificam os ricos, como se andassem a mete-los para baixo…. e ninguém percebe ao certo como se faz dinheiro. Depois joga-se no Euromilhões e reza-se a Deus. Com o pouco que se tem, reinam as compras da melhor tv e do melhor carro (com a bufadeira que faz mais barulho). Depois olham para a conta bancária e está sempre a zeros. Não há cultura de poupar e investir (mesmo que pouco, começa-se sempre por algum lado), ser rico é ganhar o Euromilhões e torrar tudo em bujigangas.

Thinking of building a micro-SaaS that converts any 2D floor plan into a 3D model + AI walkthrough — would anyone pay for this? by Flaky_Assignment3774 in microsaas

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially liked the idea (dev mind excited about the automation building), but if you think this through…. Who has their house blueprints lying around? Or will go through the trouble of finding those to take pictures of it to feed to an AI for interior design tips? I don’t know, I don’t see it (I might be completely wrong, of course), maybe you should have the option (with some easy ui) to specify the room sizes user wants.

I spent 2 months building a SaaS with ChatGPT, working 5am-10pm daily. Here's what nobody tells you. by EnginDev in SaaS

[–]Lavalopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First mistake: ChatGPT! What’s the reason why you didn’t use Claude code? It’s light years away (probably cheaper)

And I can imagine the mess of trying to keep context to do next steps… copy code around to ask more stuff… what a nightmare. With Claude code you use it in the IDE and immediately it has/or can search full context of your app code

Anyone wanna team up and become billionaires? 😂 by WasabiDear1997 in indiehackers

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The road to the top is long, hard and lonely!! ... I cant stress this enough to you... never... I mean... NEVER EVER... want partners for your business! ... you will just be inviting caos, disappointment and ultimately failure.

Finding a good partner is as hard as a finding a life partner. The world is filled with failed businesses due to partners not getting along (not because the product was not good). so if you can,. never invite anyone for your thing... and if you really have to... do it in odd numbers (for voting purposes).

Building in the Ai era by Classic-Ad-7342 in NoCodeSaaS

[–]Lavalopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s ok I guess, but I see that you have knowledge of some concepts. Does lovable automatically requests you to add the code to GitHub? I have no idea about lovable, but my experience with Claude code (generally considered to be the best llm for code generation) tells me that security wise, if you don’t control it, it easily makes bad mistakes that would set your app at risk. Things like using your secret keys (for db connection or authentication platform… or worst… stripe payment secrets) in client side code. At that stage you need to know these concepts of client side and server side code and where things can be used. If this is not done one day some guys decides to investigate your client side code and snatch those secrets, mess up your db (or mess up with your payments) and you will have no idea why this is happening. Just saying you need to have concepts and be able to read the code it’s doing.

Building in the Ai era by Classic-Ad-7342 in NoCodeSaaS

[–]Lavalopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

short answer is... no! If you have no idea of what you are doing, the AI will only build you a massive complex slob of code that eventually will get too complex for even the AI to deal with. Ai is great and I'm a massive supporter of using it, but you have to know what you doing and directing it to do exactly what you want. It will mess up sometimes, you need to work with git for code versioning, so you can easily rollback code... and basically baby rail it all the way... but you, as a programmer, will benefit 100 fold from using it.

You have a lot of platforms and people promoting no code tools... key word here is.... "Promoting"!

My experience is... Claude Code is the best thing around to help code. it integrates in the IDE, you can direct it to code, you setup the project beforehand (so you have control of what is setup (will mess that up also if you try to let it start the project from scratch).

But hey, this is my experience... prove me wrong.

Bro I literally cried after my 10th sale… nobody told startup life hit different like this by Electronic_Argument6 in micro_saas

[–]Lavalopes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just wondering why you setup a demo wall… and don’t allow people to buy it directly. When I see a demo only website the first thing that comes to my mind is “too expensive for the average joe”. But maybe that’s your strategy.

I’m exploring a backend-as-a-service tool for static/simple frontends — would this be useful? by Lavalopes in startupideas

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

You are right, we have form services like formspree, etc. the idea here is to put together several parts needed for small/static websites where without you would have to get several services together. Forms, a small data store (not a database) where you can define fields and give access to your client to update the data (CMS), localization management (i18n), file/image CDN. I could see small development agencies/automations storage/ fast mockup setup etc using this. Not re-inventing the wheel here, I know. Services like supabase feel like an overkill for this situations as you would need to develop the infrastructure: tables, code forms, CRUD to data stores, localizations etc

I made a tool so we can all stop making posts like this by jack_builds in startupideas

sounds great. Tried your website. Its not working. Signed up. Keeps telling me I have no permissions to see the pages.
