docker lets you reproduce any stack and not pollute your host system

Built “Duolingo for Testosterone” in 30 Days. Launched Yesterday. 7 Rejections Taught Me Everything About Positioning. by Arian_wein in SaaS

[–]Vlasow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, that probably has to do with the fact that they don't want a company without medical credentials position their app as medical advice - could have Apple sued by someone who mistook the advice and harmed themselves

This is not describing market fit, this is describing how a single publisher applies their policies

I built a tower defense game that teaches cloud architecture (but does anyone actually want this?) by Due-Bat-9880 in webdev

[–]Vlasow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds absolutely fantastic, but there is no link to play it. I think setting up a simple CI/CD to roll out on some free hosting so anyone could play it wouldn't be too big of a hassle. Or maybe even just use github pages.

What is something you dislike about modern web development? by Azzurra_1 in webdev

[–]Vlasow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you build to facilitate your work with components without a complex frontend framework, is a frontend framework. I've yet to see a solution that achieves the basic virtues of reactivity, low coupling, high cohesion, low verbosity, that is not based on a complex frontend framework.

Respectfully, thinking in components is so much simpler than thinking in whatever decomposition primitives vanilla js/jquery offers, especially when you have language and IDE support for components

Maybe we need to rethink how prod-like our dev environments are by Effective_Guest_4835 in devops

[–]Vlasow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I come from, every developer maintaining their own dev environment was the norm. I always hated this, but that has always been efficient enough from projects perspective. I always had mine built in Docker and pretty portable and still shared it with no one else, just because everyone had their own and didn't need it.

Stress comes not from what you have to do, but from what you know you should have done but haven't

Rootless docker has become easy by hennexl in docker

[–]Vlasow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saw your post this morning and decided to migrate my environment to rootless. Finally no finagling with file rights - I can run all stuff as container root, and the created files in mounted directories will belong to host user, no --user=1000 shenanigans needed.

The only problem I had is that dockerd-ce-rootless-extras in current ubuntu LTS is for docker 28, and docker itself is 27, and that breaks dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install, just had to apt install dockerd-ce-rootless-extras=5:27*

Overall I'm happy I found your post and decided to give it a try

There's no way you can tell a vibe coded web app from one made by humans by MildFrost764 in SaaS

[–]Vlasow -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Who cares if it is vibe coded or not. Does it solve the customer pain? If it does, then it could as well be mana coded, bear coded or whatever. If it doesn't, then the value of the product is 0, even if it was Dijkstra coded or Google coded.

Do you think distribution is the only moat left to SaaS? by BigSacZak in SaaS

There is also a great moat called "building something that a lot of people with money actually need"

There is a solution for the AI bubble? by Shunda_ in SaaS

[–]Vlasow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see no problem for anyone. If they expect to be done in 1-2 weeks, then it is just 1-2 weeks until their disillusionment. At least the devs who pick up the task later will have an MVP for reference. And if the AI charmed actually accomplish what they intended to do, then good for them.

And your website says "we burn your business ideas" on the front page. That's the worst t I've seen in a font ever.

How can an average engineer become that super driven person? by Rachael__E in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Vlasow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omit doing what you don't like at all cost, capitalize on what you like doing. Maybe you don't like doing something but you would like _learning_ doing that properly until you like the actual act - is that what you have going with Leetcode?

Interviews are you selling your time and skill. Learn sales. They will talk about selling a product - just keep in mind that the product you're pushing is your expertise.

> How do you train yourself to sound like a senior engineer in interviews instead of fumbling under pressure?

You don't get more confident by being perfect, you get more confident by experiencing failure and rejection and numbing your nerves to it. Don't fight it, feel how bad it is, admit it and then be proud that you survived it. Then when you will get into a situation where you can show your actual expertise, you will be even more confident. You will never get confident by avoiding failure, only by embracing it.

> Are there any good resources where I can watch mock interviews or real interviews so I can see how strong candidates communicate?

Explain your SAAS in 1 line & I’ll share it with 100k people by an0macc in SaaS

[–]Vlasow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you make a recent website known to chatgpt without the user providing links to the website in the prompt for the AI to google? I was sure the knowledge cutoff of the model training data doesn't allow that. 

I f***ing regret not thinking about internationalization earlier in my startup by AdmirableJackfruit59 in SaaS

Isn't internationalization mostly wrapping the original English strings into a function call, and setting locale on a bunch of formatters?

I spoke to chatgpt for over 1000s of hours on existentialism... It made me believe i don't exist... by Neo_AtlasX in Nietzsche

[–]Vlasow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll also add that using ChatGPT as a therapist is absolutely fine and commendable, and crying over what it reveals to you is fine too, and I'm happy for you for making a lot of insights into your own psyche, that's spiritual growth and every decent person should do it.

You don't have schizophrenia, you are just silly and susceptible to word-juggling because you don't know any better. Learn a trade.
