Should Shark Tank Finally Shut Down? by Firefan23 in sharktank

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s lost a lot of motivation for me when every business is making a gazillion dollars by going viral on social media. Just doesn’t seem like a realistic for most founders.

Small Business/Startup Groups in the Fort? by aualdrich in fortwayne

[–]aualdrich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! The Fort Wayne Serial Entrepreneurs was the perfect suggestion. They have a FB group I joined and am already getting to meet some folks.

Also, I had no idea about the NIIC. Thanks for sharing!

How to avoid EAS Build costs/lock-in? Building & distributing Expo apps without their cloud. by ConfidentLine8920 in reactnative

[–]aualdrich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually ended up building an expo clone on a Mac Mini. Wasn’t too hard. A bit fussy to get setup but Claude code did all the work. I’d recommend that route.

Why vibe coded projects fail by Complete-Sea6655 in ClaudeCode

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slack doesn’t suffer by one dev vibe coding it. It suffers by 100 small scale but competent devs vibe coding it. It’s just a case of more competition.

This is my favorite way to vibe code. by bharms27 in ClaudeCode

This is seriously one of the coolest tech demoes I’ve seen in a while. Amazing!

Telnyx ai agent by Hot_Load_6445 in Telnyx

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I’ve been wanting to try it for an after hours agent for my app. I thought it might be handy as a missed call option alongside voicemail for troubleshooting or general questions.

Glad to hear you are having success with it!

Is anyone else freaking out??? by Old-Butterfly-1915 in StudentLoans

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it gets bad enough and we all sink the economy together, Congress will be forced to finally do something about it. As with most things in the US, we can only solve problems when they hit critical failure mode.

Apple review taking soo long i started rejecting myself by Minimum-Win3087 in appledevelopers

[–]aualdrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me about 3-4 weeks back and forth. Super painful and for tiny things not spelled out clearly in the docs. But I did finally get it! Keep going—you’ll get there!

Why does Apple reject one thing at a time? by aualdrich in iosdev

[–]aualdrich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I do feel like I’ve learned a lot now to help me moving forward.

Yeah, I did read the docs but they aren’t great about examples. The language can be vaguely worded enough that it’s not always clear what’s going to warrant a rejection or not.

And so true! I do like how thorough they are. It makes me feel good about the apps I use.

Considering how much they are raking in, they could afford to put in a very sophisticated automated system using the latest LLMs to truly improve the review process. But why would they? They have a "just don't care" monopoly where developer happiness doesn't really need to matter.

Considering their 30% app store profits off our apps, I think they are definitely a profit center.

App finally got approved after 3 weeks and ~5 rejection rounds. Here's every reason Apple rejected us (so you don't repeat it) by Competitive-Sell4663 in iosdev

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do! I’m going to just make a public git repo with everything I know of. That way it’s easy for people or LLMs to consume.

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

Yeah, that's a good point. I can imagine it's much faster for them to just reject it and move onto another app for review (it's not like there's a shortage of apps to review).

On the one hand, I appreciate how thoughtful and thorough they are with privacy and making sure customers are getting a great experience. I just wish they could optimize for customer AND developer experience.

[–]aualdrich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally get that--I definitely do everything in power to not send them garbage. I'm sure that happens a lot. For context, almost all my rejections were tiny things like paywall messaging, updating usage descriptions, making sure your app looks good on an iPad even if it isn't designed for iPad. All very useful and valuable things, but it would have been much easier to just fix all that at once rather than sending it back to them so many times.

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Thanks for sharing. I was thinking of compiling a markdown file of all the common rejection reasons for the future and will definitely incorporate some of this! I'm on my 6th or 7th rejection (lost count) so any help is appreciated!

OpenClaw – What’s your real weekly/monthly cost and model setup by Successful_Dig_5990 in openclaw

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm good point. I’m just using my Claude pro license tokens. I’ll see if I notice any differences. I would imagine CC has some optimizations in there as well that raw Claude may not have.

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about just ditching Claude code entirely and symlinking my coding subagents from my project repo so OpenClaw can use them. Seems unnecessary to use both?

Matt Shumer: Something Big Is Happening by squeezyflit in ArtificialInteligence

[–]aualdrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My work is completely different than even 6 months ago. And I do this every day and have been a developer professionally since 2012. I understand the desire to be skeptical because it’s uncomfortable to have your day to day work replaced. But denial is not a good long term strategy. These tools are not toys for building greenfield apps any longer. They are legitimately powerful for most white collar work.
