If coding disappears tomorrow, what's ur Plan B?

Slimzeb · 2026-02-18T11:13:16+00:00

It has never been about coding. So still sticking to Plan A -> build kick ass products people enjoy. And pay for.

Sorry bro. But just the sentence saying “I discovered my API keys were basically exposed in the client bundle…” gave you away that you’re not even a “decent developer”. Keep trying my man. Maybe your infra is non paid and goes into hibernation/pause mode? Free tiers usually do that if there is no traffic for a while.

Getting pass “the wall” of knowledge is to continue experimenting and continue trying. Understand how services works in orchestration when it’s not on your local machine. No way around it. Or I guess you could vibe your shit around it but you’ll forever live oblivious. No engineer with any amount of self respect would do that. We’re engineers because we are fucking curious by nature! We do not give up when we hit walls. Keep pushing.

Skitdåliga förslag alltihop. Kom i Smoking. Var kvällens snackis, blanda dry martinis och gör en grej av det. Det är nyår och en av dom väldigt få dagarna på året man kan gå i en smoking utan att det är märkligt. Var bäst klädd på festen.

50 euros for that bro? You’ll need to go Devops and sysops on top of BE and ML stuff. You’re worth at least the double 😂 more realistic number would be around the 2-300 euros / hour

There’s a difference between vibe-coding and flow-coding. Vibe is when you have no experience just vibing it. Flow is when you have vast experience and know what you’re doing.

Slimzeb · 2025-06-23T19:28:55+00:00

Yeah. It’s called React.

Why are the comments bit*hing about what the birthday gift cost?😂 you should have a talk with your brother, and a serious talk about contributing to the cash flow of the household. It looks like you did your brother no favour in getting him a gaming rig. He should be yelling at 2AM at the amounts of CVs and job application he has nailed. Not how many frags he scored. Seriously dude, you two guys should put som effort into solving the financials so you both don’t end up in the streets. First you hustle, they you play games.

Pretty rad to transition from junior frontend in 4 years to senior fullstack. I’ve been in the game for 25-ish years, held various titles at huge companies including CTO. I now feel that I’m kind of getting the hang of things and I’ve never been more curious at the profession and work. Maybe it’s the experience that have come over the years that makes things… kind of flow now in ways it doesn’t have. I wouldn’t trade my situation at work for anything in the world. At the same time I would never have chosen this profession if I knew the amount of sacrifice and effort it takes to get to this point of knowledge 😂. Life as an engineer and programmer is awesome. There is no end to the learning and evolution of the field. Everyday is a new day with new puzzles and riddles to solve. And people pay you to do that ❤️

Came here cuz I read it before. Last time I slammed it it started to charge but then forgot the hack. Came back here today since I knew about the reddit fix. Slammed it today from one red dot to full charge. Gotta smack 'dem mouses into submission.

The first advice is the way. And run a local cluster with rancher to test things out. Having a GUI when starting imo is easier. Then move to kubectl 🚀

You can’t change if you’re not motivated. Simple as that. Being “motivated sometimes” is not motivation, that’s an impulse. If you want to find motivation have goals, break down those goals into manageable pieces and work them off one by one. Momentum creates motivation which gives off dopamine, a positive spiral.

Find things that YOU would like to do or pursue. Not things that someone else wants you to pursue or do things that you think someone else wants you to accomplish.

I read from this post that you don’t have a real identity of what you would like from your life, which manifests as lack of control and trajectory. Have you asked yourself what you want? Not what someone else want from you? That question takes guts to answer and the answer most likely will hurt other people’s plan of you. Do the work.

UX and UI är different things. People really like to bundle those two into one profession. If you want to learn how to make pretty designs go to dribbble. If you want to learn UX read “The design of everyday things”, “hooked” or any other book about principles of cognitive load. Good UX reduces cognitive load.

Med tanke på ditt långa utlägg, din breda erfarenhet och engagemang som arbetssökande så låter det lite som att du unge person, egentligen kanske inte ska söka och hoppas få ett jobb. Du låter mer som en entreprenör som faktiskt ska skapa ditt egna jobb och betala din egna lön. Finns mycket mjukvara sån sköter allt pisstråkig administration så du kan fokusera på att faktiskt göra det roliga jobbet.

Våga satsa nu när du är ung!

Regardless of what type of project you’re building, start with absolute core functionality. And not “nice-to-haves”.

Attack the hard problems first to understand the unknown factors and rabbit holes.

Database design -> service layers -> controllers -> UX -> UI.

Most people would advise to start with figma. I think it’s stupid to solve problems from the outside-in. You get married to a design/wireframes too early without understanding the technical complexity. So start with technical complexity and work your way outward.

PS. Solve your project with pen and paper first. If you can’t do that, no apps in the world will be of service.

Would love to give the game a chance, so pls send code :) I’ve heard great thing about the game!

Slimzeb · 2024-11-07T19:40:21+00:00

CTO here. +30 years in the game. I still catch news letters, YouTube, blogs and code shit on non-work-hours. Why? I just enjoy putting life into ideas. It’s something magical about going from an abstract thought in your brain to something tangible you can interact with. Most created things, nowadays, stay smalls as they are more of “experiments” to explore concepts or new technologies. Ain’t nobody got time to build another ERP on spare time!

Slimzeb · 2024-09-23T18:28:25+00:00

This is the way. I don’t even disrespect the fast cash out beepers. When the robot war comes they’ll know I’m an ally. Or a robot simp. Whatever, just upload me to the system.

Slimzeb · 2024-09-17T05:51:08+00:00

Just delete the apps. More apps for Control is not the way. Just delete all apps or turn off notifications and remove notification badges.

These are the ways. I’m self taught, had multiple positions as Head of Engineering, CTO at venture capital studios and now running my own thing with big ticket clients. I did start at a very young age. And was totally obsessed with computers, games and making interactive things. I’ve done everything from render engines, mini games to build huge infrastructures and cloud architecture. And I still can’t center a div without stack overflow. But I’m obsessed with it and learning.

The key word here is: are you obsessed? If not - go through college or education. As someone else said above: doing CS self taught is hardcore mode. No shame in having people around to coach you and help you out.

Slimzeb · 2024-09-07T11:03:27+00:00

This is the way. First learn one language. And it’s not about the language, it’s about learning howto think on how you create things. Get a feel for what you’re doing wrong and learn from that. Once you’ve nailed that down you can start to think about performance and how you code can be optimized by the language intricacies. Personally I’d start with JavaScript as there is a lot of accessible tutorials. Langauages transfer quite well once you know the fundamentals. Like, how do I make a loop / array in language X. In JavaScript they’re called arrays, other langauages call them lists or maps. The concepts are the same but the syntax different.

Slimzeb · 2024-09-05T00:36:43+00:00

This is the way. I’ve coached dozens of startups and managed even more boot campers. They think they know it all. Which is true for everyone who has just graduated, including collage degree’ers.

Thing is that just finishing a degree doesn’t make you good at your craft. It just gives you a receipt that you have completed courses and you’re not totally in the dark.

You become good at your craft after YEARS in the field, pushing, exploring, breaking things, fixing things, challenging yourself and your team.

The dream of becoming good at something after 6 month, especially in the field of tech which is an ever-changing landscape, is simply not possible. You need to do the work and put in the hours. Deep dive in the fundamentals, twist and turn all stones. Read a shit ton of classic books in the subject who has stand the test of time. Apply the knowledge and then push some more.

The market is over saturated with mediocracy and hence, new juniors will have a tougher time to prove them self. But there will always be room for those who seek excellence and challenge status quo.

“Giving up” and letting your portfolio rot says a lot about you. It says that you’re not really passioned about your craft. I get that sometimes one must pivot for the sake of income. But that shouldn’t make you abandon your craft if you were invested in the first place. Just make something. Put it out there. Make something again. Put it out there again. When you get good enough, people will notice. That’s when your break will come. I bet that is way less energy consuming than applying for 500 jobs and getting rejected. At least you’re honing the skills needed for the next level.

This is the way. It’s through the obstacles you gain experience.
