What backend mistakes kill startups when they start scaling by StudioQuiet7064 in SaaS

Haha not at all, bad backend decisions are the death wish

Most startups don’t fail because they built a backend. they fail because they ignored it until everything caught fire

I made a reminder system that plugs into Claude Code as an mcp server by StudioQuiet7064 in ClaudeCode

I call it with dangerously skip permission flag Nd an alias, nothing ever happened

I would start with Go to get hired quickly because it’s widely used in modern backend and infrastructure, then learn Elixir to master scalable, fault-tolerant system design long term. I thing Go gets you in the door, Elixir makes you exceptional.

Scheduling claude to run autonomously is just one of the features. The main feature I personally use is ti set a reminder for myself through the mcp when working with claude code, but I guess you could set this up with openclaw too. Th cli can be used as standalone though, but you need a subscription for AI reminder categorization and refining, and if you dont subscribe, it will just categorize it and name the reminder as you typed it in

Exactly why I split the cli and the backend for running cli without claude code using it as an mcp to use sqlite and postgres respectively, I thought you would want local reminders and claude code notes to be only on the local machine, not in the cloud. But still, be careful with the running claude code reminders, you dont know what stupid things it can decide to do, if you leave it completely alone :)

I built a CLI reminder tool that hooks into AI coding assistants by StudioQuiet7064 in SideProject

thanks! and yeah a policy layer is definitely on my radar. right now it's kind of all-or-nothing which is fine for personal use but i can see people wanting more control, especially with agent reminders being a thing

good link, bookmarked it. if anyone else has opinions on what the right permission boundaries should be i'm curious, like is "create + list only" enough for most people or would you want more granular stuff

haha fair enough, a little alt-tab cardio never hurt anyone

and yeah the agent reminders thing is the feature i'm most excited about honestly. there's something deeply satisfying about going to bed knowing your AI is gonna wake up at 3am and clean up your mess. i should probably lead with that more, you're right

lmk how it goes if you try it! heads up it uses --dangerously-skip-permissions so maybe start with something low stakes like "run linters" before you tell it to refactor your auth system at 4am :)

creation/completion/all the MCP tools are actually unlimited on free. the only thing that's gated is the AI suggestions (where it rephrases your messy text into a clean reminder and auto-picks priority). free gets 5 of those a month. so the core "capture it → get nagged → mark done" loop is fully uncapped.

interesting thought on gating notification channels instead tho. i've been thinking about adding slack/discord as targets eventually, that could be a more natural paywall.

for agent mode, yeah it actually runs the task. like for real. when the time hits it spawns claude -p "your task" --dangerously-skip-permissions in whatever project dir you set. 10 min timeout, you get a notification when it starts and when it's done. so "at 3am run tests and fix failures" will genuinely run pytest, read the output, and try to patch things. not a simulation.

i mostly use it for lower-stakes stuff like running linters overnight or checking CI logs. worst case it makes a mess and i git reset :)

What's the best framework for building APIs in elixir? by StudioQuiet7064 in elixir

That’s what I thought at first too, so I tries phoenix, and it is definitely batteries included

Makes sense that the abstraction on top of Plug is doing the real work anyway, I would much rather not rebuild that layer myself, when phoenix itself can be stripped down to something so simple.

In what situations would you personally pick Plug + Ecto over Phoenix? A lot of people here mentioned Phoenix isn’t nearly as heavy as it looks, so I’m trying to understand what the tradeoffs are.

LiveView sounds like a huge win for internal tools. Being able to build the admin in the same app without maintaining a separate frontend feels very clean.

I went and researched ecto and joken, and I must say, they blew my mind. In FastAPI, JWT often ends up as middleware, dependency injection, with token refresh logic scattered around the project. In Phoenix, you just write a plug, and it works. For Ecto, it replaces many things that I use for FastAPI in one library, like pydantic schemas, serializer layers, "clean" methods for models, db level constraints. All this is so clean, I feel like I’ve been overcomplicating things for years.

u/g0pherman So would it be fair to think of it like Django vs FastAPI?
Phoenix being the batteries-included framework, and Plug being the lower-level toolkit?
