6 months of silence explained 👶

New dad life hit different:

• Baby needs
• 9-5 grind
• Family time

Too many balls, dropped the being public part.
But kept building in the shadows.
Now things are settling. Time to build in public again.

Fellow parent builders - how do you juggle it all?

Last week with Claude 3.7 Sonnet in max mode felt like rolling dice—would it get me or not?
This weekend, I switched to Claude 4 Sonnet (wo max mode) and wow, it was seamless magic. The identical prompts flew, turbocharging my development speed by a factor of ten.

I'm currently diving into the MCP topic and am impressed by the numerous directories, services, and servers already available!

Despite these many options, I haven't found an MCP server that can connect to a MySQL database via SSL.

Since I began posting critical views on Vibe coding, I've noticed a drop in followers. Are people uninterested in hearing about negative experiences with hyped trends? 🤔

Vibe coding, at its current stage, is only capable of accelerating your coding skills, but if you don't have any, you will need a lot of passion to achieve good results.

Today, I switched from handing over whole tasks and hoping for a one-shot wonder to writing a big part of the code myself and only asking for options or fixing random errors, and the productivity skyrocketed. 🚀

Vibe coding is like hiring a junior management consultant to code 👔
You get:

⚡ Lightning fast delivery
✨ Shiny self-congratulatory presentation
⚙️'Working' solution (air quotes needed)
💯 Confidence level: 100%

Reality: 40% works, 60% smoke & mirrors

What's your vibe-coding-to-debugging ratio?

After removing the paywall and lacking sufficient traffic for ads, what other form of monetization would you choose?

🚽This tip saved me a lot of awkward moments in the shared flat:

Always keep two toilet paper rolls in the bathroom: one active and one spare. When the active roll is done, activate the spare roll and replace it immediately. This avoids awkward trips or asking your roommate for a roll mid-sit. 🧻
