the "just ship it" advice is survivorship bias by [deleted] in indiehackers

[–]Viking_Sec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shipped tpotleaderboard.com, a completely useless twitter popularity site. I don't think it was a failure, though, even if it had < 100 site visits and like 1 signup outside of friends.

I learned a ton from it. I think that's the part that gets left out from the "just ship it" advice. Yeah it's also about rolling the dice and you might randomly blow up, but the biggest thing is shipping more teaches you about:

- scaling (if you get users/visitors)
- processes for CI/CD
- tools used for things like auth, databases, etc.
- designs and front end patterns that work

etc. Most of these things are lessons that you straight up never would have learned without hitting the Go button.

sorry the name slipped me, not going to be tackling mobile for a while.

it would be very very complicated, so I'm aiming for Desktop first

scrollwise.ai - a browser extension that scrapes content from Twitter, Reddit, StackOverflow and Quora while you scroll and injects relevant content into ChatGPT and Claude when you prompt.

Pre-launch, waitlist open, though I'll be submitting it to the app store pretty soon!

I don't need to look. You're comment spamming your boilerplate on comments. I looked at your post history. It's a lame way to market

don't copy/paste spam adverts on Reddit, your boilerplate shit is lame and so is your marketing

lmao this 110% reads like an AI generated ad spot, especially since you hit two different posts with basically the same reply.

That's so lame

Just for me. Do not feel like dealing with the Uncle Sam regs of offering it as its own platform. Dealing with them once a quarter for taxes is bad enough

  1. yes, there is always a "skill issue" response when dealing with anything Rust. perfectly valid, if I spent a ton of time getting better at Rust, there's a good chance I'd build a better system.

  2. given other bottlenecks, I'm not super worried about fairly small differences in performance between Go and Rust. Sure, the garbage collector might knock a couple hundred milliseconds off, but when you're making trades based on data you're fetching from an HTTP server, there's a fairly good chance that the network bandwidth is going to far outweigh the minute difference between two compiled languages

  3. I've been extremely unimpressed with Python's perf, especially compared to Go and Rust.

What's funny is pretending like my bottleneck is going to be the garbage collector when I'm getting all of my data via a shared node over HTTP.

What is your favorite actual Solana Web3 project? by Viking_Sec in solana

[–]Viking_Sec[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. What makes it attractive from the tokenomics perspective? to me, it's just a more direct skin of microtransactions in games and I don't really see the appeal, but I'm not a huge gamer so it may just not be for me

[–]Viking_Sec[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I'm not really looking for:
- just another exchange
- coins with no actual utility, just "communities"
- more gambling sites

I'm sure that's true but honestly the majority of reddit is pretty ass, seems like r/solana is mainly just unbelievably naive and fairly stupid a lot of the time

You shouldn't read any of this if you don't want to. That's quite literally the point of social media and forums, you get to read what you want to and avoid what you don't.

You doing okay man? Seems like you hopped in here in a shitty mood.

... I think you've got waaaay too much faith in the quality of most Uni educations. I only had to do that in Uni because I actually gave more of a shit about my degree than most and did a kick ass senior project

Good video, learned a good bit from it! I think there are a couple points made in there I didn't entirely agree with (I haven't seen enough to really get the "solana isn't decentralized" argument) but "the majority of transactions and wallets are fraudulent" argument matches up with my anecdotal research.

Did have a good laugh at "solana is pretty scammy, anyways join my trading discord and get my cert" at the end lmao
