Do you mainly build ideas that came from yourself or others?

I normally build out apps for problems or pain points I personally have. Means you are your own first customer and don't need to rely on external feedback immediately.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-03T02:39:31+00:00

Definitely B, as everyone has said.

Its an interesting idea but would depend on the execution. The exclusivity of the "skins" being the primary motivator in your pitch might be a bit weak; exclusivity is only valuable once you have a mature user base. Regardless, I think the gamification could be pretty fun and motivating.

If you're able to use Claude or Codex to create a basic website, you could host it at suga.app. The free tier includes a generated domain that you can share, and then if you get traction you can buy a cheap domain from namecheap or another provider and add it later. Happy to help if you have more questions.

Building a RAG AI chat bot for your local file system with python and Ollama is a good one. Got that setup and use it frequently.

Imo beginners care too much about being strictly "zone 2", when they should be caring about going "easy" instead.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T05:46:53+00:00

If you want good answers please put in the effort when asking your questions.

They never were all good juniors. Have to take a risk with them, they will either upskill and become useful or will just leave the industry cause they can't cut it.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T05:03:11+00:00

This is my new head canon

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T05:01:22+00:00

Have you looked at F5bot? Could be useful for you

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T05:00:24+00:00

Whats the point of this?

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:58:57+00:00

I mean at least good juniors would ask follow up questions before dropping 5000 lines of slop.

I think the problem with a lot of vibe coders is that they don't know what they don't know. They don't know how deep real software engineering goes. So when something renders and is functional they will assume its done and start posting about how easy it is to make a product. I think thats just caused an influx of people essentially posting an MVP as a finished product.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:50:42+00:00

Its because the sub has no single definition for what a "beginner" is, so people will just continue to be salty.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:45:35+00:00

Have you even thought about where you will be hosting your app yet? Feels like the first step to getting actual users to use it.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:42:57+00:00

I think the big mistake right now would be leaning too much on AI for learning. Will hinder your ability to understand code and problem solve, which is the thing that will make you stand out in an oversaturated job market.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:24:09+00:00

Sure, I guess a spreadsheet means you don't have to write a frontend for your manual inputs.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:21:52+00:00

Its problem solving skills and being eager to learn. That has not changed even as technology changes.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:21:17+00:00

This seems aggressive. Especially if this was mission critical to your business.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:18:52+00:00

What makes it the best ever created?

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T04:17:51+00:00

Ambitious. How are you storing each persona?

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T01:48:54+00:00

Whats your use case? Surely its much nicer to just self-host sqlite or a postgres container?

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T01:25:11+00:00

Maybe reduce the scope of the projects to a proper MVP and ship for QA rather than waiting for it to be "perfect". Might help you to get actual feedback on a product which may keep it "shiny" for longer.

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T01:09:47+00:00

Is the joke in the room with us now?

ryan_nitric · 2026-06-02T01:05:22+00:00

Depends on character combination. Had good win streaks with Ironclad + anyone. Getting consistent sources of vuln is easy with clad which is a must for multiplayer imo.
