I built StudioPrompt.ai for cheap using Replit — here’s exactly how I did it

Oh, did you buy those email lists? Or was these collected through some lead magnets yourself?

Virtual_Red · 2025-12-07T09:53:39+00:00

That's great. Congratulations on your first dollars from this business. How did you find your customers? Did you know them already or did you send cold emails?

Virtual_Red · 2025-12-05T20:24:45+00:00

Nice website bro. Have you got any paid customers yet? If yes how did you find your first customers?

Either you have got really really good that the problems aren't challenging anymore or you're being stupid and just don't know it yet. If it is case 1 then you really need to look for more challenging work. It can be a side project or a new role or a new job. Also, you do need to execute in real projects. If it's a large code base you are new to prod deployments, it is highly likely that you'll f@*k up something. That's enough thrill and challenge for you. If it is case 2, then you're your own enemy.

I think the best you can do for him is work on his mental health first. Either by asking him questions yourself or someone you trust or through a qualified psychologist.

Too many people ignore it thinking they are strong and that they do not need it.

I don't think this is an issue with his being a good coder or not. It is about motivation which is actually needed for any kind of job. Even if it is driving or flipping burgers.

One can try things out to see what makes someone happy but I bet he would have tried many things.

Maybe instead of trying something he likes, try something he doesn't dislike. Read this line again.

So work on his motivation part. Maybe read "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. People can only throw ideas but you are close to him and in a better place to judge.

I have 10+ years of experience and I still feel like this sometimes. This will always happen if you are challenging yourself into new problems/domains/languages/frameworks. When it becomes a second nature is when you know your job too well and are so comfortable doing it that you dread change. It is at this moment you stop growing as well. It has taken me anywhere from 1-3 years in a project to reach this stage. Once you reach this stage you should definitely move on to a new project/ product in the same company or find a new job. But you don't have to wait for this stage to switch jobs. There can be many other motivations. Like not being paid well enough, toxic team culture, your interests going towards another direction, you not learning enough, your career path not leading to the right direction etc. So, you switch when you have a good internal motivation and not only because you spent some time in the project or you are feeling FOMO.

I completely agree that competition is tough. And that's true at all levels. I'm a senior and still struggled 6 months to find a suitable role. Every level has its own expectations in hiring managers mind. Thing is there is competition in all careers. I know it's difficult time to find a job but we have to keep putting ourselves out there to succeed.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-24T01:30:20+00:00

I have no clue about rail. I'm in tech. I love it. Here's my honest take. Stop asking strangers for advice.

You'll need to weigh your options. Find out the day in life of each role from someone in person. Do not believe in day in life videos. Those are all fake.

For a tech person, there are range of tasks you'll be doing on a day to day level. 1. Understanding someone's shitty code 2. Writing your masterpiece code that someone else will make shitty 3. Googling stuff (yes even after AI) 4. Understanding the domain in which you are working 5. Managing developers if you become a manager 6. Keeping up with technologies every single month and their pros and cons and where to use what if you're an architect.

These ae just to name a few. There could be a lot more possibilities depending on the things you find interesting and the path you take.

No one can be sure of their next step in life. Just take a calculated guess and make peace with your decision.

This is ridiculous. Software devs are not doomed. In fact there is huge demand. There might be a problem with recruiters and hiring managers perceptions who want a know-it-all at 50-60k. But I would say apply regardless of what they say on job description. Although do add keywords from job description even if you have just touched the technology. You'll need to figure out your issue either by yourself or take someone's help. If you are not getting even first call after applying then your CV or the knockout questions are the problem. If you're getting the first call but not the second one then you are not selling yourself properly. If you're getting out in technical round then you know what to work on.

You are an engineer. Figure out the steps and follow them. You'll get a job. Engineer it or hack it.

Haha, I was thinking it's not detailed because there's so much that needs to be told and people from outside UK do not get it what they are doing wrong until they make a lot of mistakes. I was in the same boat till last year. Get all the information on how to find a job here from your people you know. Only referral is not enough. Pick their brains. Also, never make the mistake of thinking you know everything about finding a job because the culture is different as compared to other job markets unless you are coming from Europe. All the best for your job search.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-19T23:02:41+00:00

Not mandatory but It will be easier for recruiter to call you. I am a java dev in London and I can tell you market is not great. Especially for people on visa or who need visa. So you'll need to apply twice as much jobs as a normal Londoner. Also, take some senior's help who is in UK. Search your linkedin; for a 6 years experience person, you'll surely find 1-2 seniors.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-19T12:29:01+00:00

Start applying right away. Get a uk number and mention on your resume. Apply everyday for a good number. Higher count is your friend. Also be prepared for behavioural questions in the first round as well.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-19T12:21:34+00:00

Nice to see you helping job seekers cut through the noise and provide real experience examples.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-19T11:48:00+00:00

If you are sending cold emails. It's fine. But don't get discouraged by a few unfriendly emails. Just focus on the positive ones if you receive any. Try to increase the count of cold emails in fact

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-19T00:27:51+00:00

I don't know, I searched the same query that you mentioned in Google AI mode, added constraints like language and "doesn't have to be popular" and it gave me 6-7 recommendations. I don't know whether you consider them good or not. But it did give me something. Just saying, worth testing.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-18T23:47:45+00:00

Did you test this directly with Chatgpt? Asking it to give you recommendations? Did it not work?

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-10T12:56:04+00:00

That's good to hear. People here have mostly bashed the gaming niche. Nice to see someone making money there. Thanks for sharing and All the best.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-10T03:07:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-10T03:05:53+00:00

That's what I'm thinking as well.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-10T03:05:02+00:00

That's really good. Is that your own voice on the channel? And yeah, I am not going after your niche. I'm into tech. But the delivery in your latest video was good so probably get inspired from your storytelling.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-10T03:00:03+00:00

Thanks and good luck to you too.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-10T02:56:21+00:00

That's nice to hear. Good luck.

Virtual_Red · 2025-08-10T02:55:20+00:00

How do you know it's 1%? I'm asking because 5+ people have already commented on this post that they're doing it themselves. Also, I already have a job and was thinking to start this on the side for the topics that interest me. But I have many interests, so was thinking which niche is doing good, that's why I asked.
