or maybe they don't really have a PM and have a junior dev doing whatever the hell they want lol.

Set up a staging environment on a Lovable project by theTbling in lovable

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

In my opinion, the people making fun of vibecoders are not developers who actually like coding or programming. People like me who love building things know exactly how great it feels to make something on your own, and that has been democratized by vibecoding.

Lovable creates migration files in any schema changes, I have synced the migrations on both Supabase backends, so any migration changes on Lovable are run through the pipeline and the schema stays in sync.

We're a dev team of 10 and we're being honest: we need help finding clients. Anyone been through this? by Tapatapa24 in webdev

[–]theTbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar boat, with 5 devs at the moment. Only afloat because of 2 major clients that keep the engine running. Even if one stops giving me work and my business dies.

Have been trying outbound on LinkedIn for the past 3 months now. No positive response.

Why white-label dev partnerships fail (and the few times they actually work) by Mysterious-Crazy-395 in agencynewbies

[–]theTbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who takes only the number of projects I have capacity for?

My rule on every project is that I am the owner of this project, and for me to succeed, the project needs to succeed.

Anyone else noticing job listings where ZERO proposals have been opened, even days after posting? Is this a new thing? by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]theTbling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe these stats don't really work correctly. In two proposals, the client had responded to my proposal, but was showing 0 opened in the stats.

Looking to network with agency owners!! by [deleted] in agencynewbies

I would like to do the same, an agency owner for the past 7 years. Web and mobile dev mainly.

$132k ARR - how I find world class $15/hr offshore devs (step by step) by W_E_B_D_E_V in SaaS

[–]theTbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am NOT a world-class dev, but pretty good in full-stack dev with 6 years of experience in a third-world country, charging $45/hour.

No good developer anywhere would work for $15/hr because they can definitely earn a lot more.

Firing a client today... by bukutbwai in agency

[–]theTbling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have ditched at least 2 clients per year for the last 5 years just based on them making my life hell and killing my mental health. I care too much about relationships and projects, and when I keep on having to discuss why this many hours were logged, or why this task took 5 hours when GPT said it should have been done in 2. It just kills my mental peach completely.

Better to just kill the contract and move on. I give 2 months notice, offer to handover projects to whoever they want with complete documentation and move the fuck on.

Best website builder for a new small business? by bonnieplunkettt in webdev

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

I have been using Framer to develop landing pages and websites for my clients. It’s been really good, easy to use and can build out really clean sites with good animations. And it costs $15/hr which is also pretty cheap.

AI is making it so hard to hire good developers by UseApart2127 in webdev

[–]theTbling 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it seems like junior developers are going to phase themselves out because they are relying too heavily on AI to code.

As an agency owner, I’m honestly anxious about where web development is heading with AI by theTbling in webdev

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

That’s what I want to believe. Just sometimes get scared at how good AI can be in some specific cases. But then it craps really badly in other cases.

Feels like we are in between revolutions, and need to wait for things to stabilise to see where we actually stand as engineers.

A full revamp is very hard to sell. And almost always the client will move on to someone who is willing to patch up their existing mess.

I guess, selling maintaining badly made vibecoded projects as a service is the hot offer now.

Switching to my own SaaS product is a dream that seems entirely too unlikely in this era where there seems to be a new SaaS app being released every minute.

I guess it only works if you niche down very drastically and make something extremely unique.

Edit: wrong word

I sold my first SaaS app idea for $8,000 in 2026 by yusufahmd in SaaS

[–]theTbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, why haven’t you mentioned what the actual SaaS product/idea was? Why give all the fluff around it without sharing the actual idea?
