For the first Indie Hacker Diaries of the year, something that's been on my mind is how I'm seeing developers—new and experienced—start to rely solely on AI for writing code.
Sharing an example, I explain why it's important to still understand the code the AI generates:

Today's my birthday, but it also happens to be David Bowie's birthday.
Early on in my career, I came across an interview with David Bowie where he shares some wisdom about creativity. That wisdom has stuck with and guided me ever since.

Workaholic? I speak from experience: don't run yourself into the ground. No matter how much you think you have to keep going, make a point to stop, rest, and breathe.

I came up against some negative feedback about my JavaScript framework, Joystick, this week.
Having been here in the past—and made mistakes with how I handled it—I decided to share what I've learned and how you can take tough feedback in stride, too.

I'm in the fabled "last 10%" of my work on Mod (the CSS framework I've been sharing screenshots of here).
For this week's Indie Hacker Diaries, I wanted to discuss the last 10% problem and a solution I've relied on to kill the anxiety of shipping.

Despite the majority of the world chasing the next dollar, this will always be the modus operandi for CheatCode.
Building great software really comes down to one question...
"Is this the best I/we can do?"
If the answer is no, iterate. Invest the time to do it right or don't do it at all.

Working on getting a basic charting library together for Mod, using #d3 behind the scenes.
I've only used d3 a couple of times, but it's a really impressive library. You can accomplish a lot with a relatively small amount of code.
Using #claude to help me generate examples of what I'm after.
