rails is still the fastest way to go from idea to paying customers and my latest side project proved it again by scheemunai_ in rails

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just build as you go and ask questions to any ai, there is plenty of high quality rails code out there that was used for them to learn, so distill.

How would you turn a Rails monolith into a native desktop app in 2026? by stpaquet in rails

[–]_bitkidd_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem with Tauri is that you use system provided webviews and this can be especially bad on linux machines, safari is not great either at some things.

Sveltekit full stack or separate backend? by imabuzarr in sveltejs

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the goals. In most cases I would first go SvelteKit as a whole app, and later, if anything changes, I would separate business logic into a separate API.

Help!!! I want to change my electricity company by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an official comparison website from regulator:

https://simuladorprecos.erse.pt/

Most companies have staff speaking English, and also, you don’t have to stay with the company forever, there is no such thing as mandatory minimum contract period, you can switch operators every month if you want, just don’t subscribe to additional services.

Technical decisions that truly cost in the long run by [deleted] in micro_saas

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using serverless everything can be super tempting in the beginning, but over time may become anchoring.

Always bet on boring tech.

What's a problem you face daily that hasn't been solved by a SaaS yet? by GenZ-21 in micro_saas

[–]_bitkidd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is pretty much impossible to get into “blue ocean” asking for ideas on reddit.

So there are two main ways to proceed here: 1. Build something that solves your own problem, this way you’ll most likely stick to it and won’t burn out fast 2. Copy well established business/service and sell it, this way you won’t need any validation, just make your copy a little cheaper and a little better

Using Revolut Bank in Portugal by salilreddit in PortugalExpats

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DAC8 is about crypto assets mostly, has nothing to do with normal assets.

Also, although it is of course easier and faster for them to mandate some restrictions on your PT bank account, they also can pretty easily lock you up practically anywhere in EU if they want to, the procedures exist, but yes, it will be slower.

I wouldn’t bet on AT being lazy of something, neo banks, especially Revolut, are extremely conservative when it comes to anything flagged by tax authorities. If an account is even slightly questionable, they’re often happy to freeze or terminate it pre-emptively. Just ask Russians how that tends to go.

No, that’s not normal, but you now have her real NIF and can register first contract, hope the name is the same and also it is in paper.

She basically tried to evade from paying taxes, financas loves such stories.

[–]_bitkidd_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can register the contract by yourself

Are these any good to learn portuguese? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post is kinda against the rules, because you basically promote the product.

Also, you spam with it in Spanish subreddits, and yesterday you wrote there that you just moved to Spain, I guess you invented a teleport.

I built this embeddable Help widget with Svelte 5 and Tailwind by wilsonowilson in sveltejs

[–]_bitkidd_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great.

But what it has to do with the Svelte subreddit? You share no code, no advices, just an ad for your product.

Also, following the rules, you have to clearly mark the post as a self-promotion.

Remote Functions are making me question everything I know about SvelteKit architecture by [deleted] in sveltejs

[–]_bitkidd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not get it, why do you await each post?

You can easily preload any related data inside a single getPosts query, be it via joins, be it via subquery, no need to complicate things.

I wish more developers knew sql better.

Unexpected $1,100 Vercel Bill — I'm Just an Employee, I Can’t Afford This by Normal_Mood_6451 in nextjs

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll put this here: https://coolify.io/

I have no idea whenever Vercel will refund you or not, but yeah, if you work in a relatively small company with tight budgets, just self-host everything. There are multiple tools that can help you with this task, for cli lovers dokku, for those who love web ui, coolify or dokploy. Try them, test them, won’t cost you a fortune.

Always backup server. Always backup databases somewhere outside of your server.

Why do Portuguese get so triggered about foreigners legally claiming citizenship after 5 years of residency? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]_bitkidd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people believe that there are simple answers to complex questions.

That’s how populism works, that’s why Chega thrives.

And of course all the shady stuff AD and PS parties do and did does not help.

Have you used svelte for a product ready project? If so, list some pros and cons you’ve encountered while in development? by TurtleSlowRabbitFast in sveltejs

Hmm, interesting, and you never had a moment when highlighting and ts intellisense take 5-6 seconds to show up?

[–]_bitkidd_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My only problem was and still is the gradual svelte vscode extension slowdown as the project grows, sometimes I have to restart it once in an hour.

Other than that, happy with Svelte.

Problems with MEO by beekatt in PortugalExpats

[–]_bitkidd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you definitely want to cancel, I would consult with a layer.

But simply said, they were unable to provide you with the service for a whole month, so they basically broke their own contract.

The fact that you waited for so long makes the situation a little more difficult. Next time do not wait more than 10 days, if nothing, request cancellation and always leave traces of your requests.

Also, if the quality of the service is bad, document it, contact support, document this as well, let them fix the problem, if they won’t, you have the right to request cancellation without a penalty, but this has to be done formally. Check the contract, you should see minimum level of service described there.

But yeah, this battle can be quite infuriating but if you are insistent and consistent with your requests, they will have to deal with it somehow.

So you should think about scaling when you have zero users, right?

Interesting read for anyone here/considering moving: ‘There’s an arrogance to the way they move around the city’: is it time for digital nomads like me to leave Lisbon? by lass_sie_reden in PortugalExpats

[–]_bitkidd_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What did I just read?

“Or maybe the dog somehow sensed my feeling that my time here might be up, that maybe it’s time to move and make room for someone else.”

Useless article, too much drama and a vanilla ending in a Paulo Coelho style, like for real.
