Just so anyone still interested in @codeandconquer.fm has heard anything from me.
I’m considering pausing the podcast.
Leaving Twitter hit my motivation engaging with the community pretty hard. Still hacking but more with just me and my partner.
Will see how it continues..

When you have a development issue that is so complex and rare that you start watching youtube videos that are just text and code, you know you're in the deep end.

Uptime would be okay I think. Synthetic sounds a little „too far off“, it’s not clear what that means, just by the name.

I'd advise against working on the way. Get your mind fresh, come back stronger.
Best ideas come when we let our brain rest from the daily craziness.

What happens if people reach the limit of the $100 plan?
I'd probably add a pseudo tier like "Enterprise" with a "Contact us" button, just to be able to catch larger companies who might be interested.
Keep the door open, so to say.

It's incredible how many people have no idea how designing a system for security works.
Blog posts detailling how to expose ports to the internet (without any restrictions).
Installations that expose 3000 ports to the wide web.
Be safe out there. Any idiot can write blog posts.

Traded another 12-15 hours of my work for a Squarespace subscription.
I was tried of paying that money, when I'm perfectly capable of building my own website.

Would love to do a big road trip through the US. We absolutely adore the countryside, the landscapes, the big cities.
But we will never even consider it under the current government.

When you wanted a really tiny app to help keep your plants alive 🪴
Now you have a Turborepo with frontend, backend, database and MinIO fileserver, getting proxied through a built-in nginx and deployed via Docker Compose 🤯
Thanks to @coolify.io at least I don't need to worry about hosting.

Time is an infuriating resource.
You are given an indefinite amount.
You HAVE to spend it and you can only spend the same amount all the time.
You cannot save it.
And you never know when yours runs out.
86400 seconds today.
Spend them wisely.

I’ve already announced pausing the podcast for a while. I’m not feeling that one right now.
Also since February I’m only doing 4 days of freelance work per week, which starts helping a little now.
