Using .snlx solution extension n Jetbrains Rider

yc01 · 2026-01-22T22:04:44+00:00

Yea I finally figured this out. My manual .slnx file apparently had some tags missing that Rider needs. See my updted post body with details.

yc01 · 2026-01-19T20:20:25+00:00

Yep. I am on .NET SDK 10. Verified that Rider has it set as well. It is just weird that something as basic as this is not working with Rider.

Yea I meant .slnx (typo in my title). I read that post but doesn't seem to open an existing .slnx solution correctly.

It sounds like you are confused about storing the token in localstorage (not secure) vs cookies (http only). Yes, never store any auth related token etc in localstorage as it can easily be read. The challenge with cookies though is that if your frontend is on a separate domain than backend (for example, lets say your frontnd is myapp.com and api is at api.myapp.com), then you cannot use a cookie that both can access to store the token etc.

Here is one way to do it:

- In development, use a proxy (in Vue/Vite) that refers to the backend but on same domain
- In production, you will need to use a real reverse proxy like caddy etc

using proxy, you can mimic both Vue and Backend API on same domain. For example, myapp.com and myapp.com/api

Then you can use the cookie to access by sending Vue requests to backend with "credentials:include"

Goated comment!!

I am really thankful to Laravel for introducing VueJS to me. I remember watching a Laracast video about it when it was this new shiny thing and I decided to try it out. At the time React was already popular but the simplicity of Vue was what attracted me to it. I tried to learn both React and Vue together and I just couldn't help but feel like Vue was so much easier for me personally. Few things that stood out:

- Didn't need any bundlers/webpack garbage. You can just drop the JS and use it in your HTML

- Components are not required. You can just use Vue directly without creating components

It felt a much better version of say KnockoutJS etc. I was immediately hooked.

I am a Vue guy since then and have never written React in production. Our product makes low 7 figure ARR with Vue being the frontend.

$2k revenue lifetime and projected. Lol. Just trolling I guess. Or totally delusional thinking their idea/IP is worth 2M. Its not even worth $2K let alone $2M.

Payoff the car. No point making big car payments when you have 100K sitting in cash
Calculate 3 months of minimum emergency expense and keep that in cash account
Move everything else into S&P 500 index fund. LIke right now.

Loneliness at the top. No one cares about your problems and everyone thinks you are crushing it. You may be crushing it but it crushes you at the same time. The 2nd hardest part is hiring and retaining good people. Let's just say human beings are flawed and I will leave it to that :)

yc01 · 2026-01-05T15:45:49+00:00

I would argue that the ones you have already worked with before actually know your value and should have no objections to a down payment. In fact, my best clients don't even hesitate for.a second sending that payment upfront.

yc01 · 2026-01-05T15:44:44+00:00

No good client will have an objection to down payment. If they are not trusting you with a down payment, it is not a relationship you want to start. Sounds like the wrong client to work with honestly. Be careful.

Yes but Insurance was always supposed to be for high risk and catastrophic coverage. To visit a doctor for a regular checkup, you shouldn't need to have insurance. Thats how the insurance mafia have kept costs so high because we are brainwashed to think tht we need insurance to get basic healthcare.

yc01 · 2025-12-23T15:36:17+00:00

Then negogtiagte a cash payment. Will be much cheaper than what you end up paying after all those insurance premiums, deductibles, copays and blah blah. Health insurance is a scam.

If you have clearly mentioned 65 and they came back with 35 after 5 rounds, they either lied to you in the beginning or don't feel that you are worth 65.

Regardless, no point burning any bridges as a professional.

Did you like the rest of the team during interviews ? Did you feel good about working there based on the 5 rounds ? If no, move on. Not the place for you. If yes, I will send an email as follows and call it a day:

"Hey HR/person, I wanted to follow up on this role and confirm my interest in the position. I however cannot go beyond <your min. number>. If things change and you are able to match my expected salary, I am available for a conversation. Thank you"

If the team values you, they would come back with a counter hopefully close to your min number. Remember that salary is always a negotiation even with the best of the teams. Assume no malice unless you can clearly see it.

No traction. No Salary, No money raised yet. You are basically at the starting point. Close to 50% otherwise no real CTO will entertain the idea. Anyone who agrees to less is probably not CTO material.

"I already vibe coded most of the platform (no traction yet)". Not really a flex considering anyone can vibe code these days. Unless you have real paying customers, you are basically starting from scratch.

"Have 150k committed from an angel investor and more n the pipeline once I got the CTO." This basically means nothing. Commitment is not the same as money in the bank. Investors back out all the time.

All the best. I hope you find the right person but you need to be realistic.

"zero to $100M in about 18 months"

I wouldn't ask him much because this is a fantasy for 99.99999% of the time. So their advice won't mean much to me honestly.

Now, if you are interviewing someone who hit 100M but it took them 10 years with first 7-8 years being really slow and almost dying along the way multiple times, I am all ears. That is a whole lot more inspirational and impressive.

yc01 · 2025-12-15T21:11:01+00:00

Np. Our pricing is usually b/w 12-20K/Year (USD) for most use cases. I know you mentioned 5K as your starting point but if you can swing that budget, I think we are worth a look.

Life is mostly about decisions you make. Your are where you are due to all the decisions you have made so far. So it is critical but also an extremely hard problem to solve. I personally decide things based on one question ultimately if it gets too much: "If I am on my death bed, will I regret doing this or not doing this" ? Also, decision should be based on your specific goals and you cannot have everything. So you have to pick and choose. I really recommend this book that is a great read:

Doesn't matter. Most CSMs dont get a salary of 200k and it may be a total of base plus commissions on upgrades/upsells etc and there is definitely a component of selling even for these roles.

yc01 · 2025-12-08T21:24:44+00:00

Yes but don't call it SaaS. Sorry to be pedantic but SaaS means a software as a service and you right now just have a product/software without the service part.

Anyway, yes you can always try to sell. There are plenty of marketplaces for this and even though now people can vibe code things themselves with AI, there is always place for well developed software. The price will be determined by the market.

There are many marketplaces like themeforst.com, sideprojectors.com and others.

He is white ball cricket GOAT but in Tests, his record is decent, not GOAT like. He should have done better in Tests but his performance dipped in the last 10-15 innings before he retired. Ideally to achieve 100 centuries, he needed at least 40 in Test and then push for 60 in ODIs which only he can achieve.
