Hey 👋🏾👋🏾, time for an intro I'm a software engineer, building products on the web. So far

KidzLog.com - Daycare management software
Findchildcare.ca - Directory of daycare providers in Canada
MapleStack.ca - tech jobs in Canada

Sometimes I write on oliha.dev
Say hi 🙂

The daycare software that manages attendance, billing, and communications in one place.

Your advent of code should be shipping your own product

Ending the weekend/starting the new week with Jobven - a job data API that collects job postings directly from employer websites.
Super early MVP - be nice 😀

As a bootstrapped dev, you have to realise that most product launches will be a non-event... Just get through the gates and continue shipping

Testing out antigravity and the first thing I notice is there's no chit chat... Gemini 3 just gets straight to work...

Another major tech outage and it's not even Christmas yet... There's still room for one more 😅

Woke up to a ton of downtime alerts.
Turns out cloudflare is having one of those days.. phew

I deleted 10,000 listings from FindChildcare.ca and started over with 100+.

Why? Scraped data goes stale. No provider engagement. Parents got frustrated.

Now every listing is verified and managed by actual providers.

Vanity metrics feel good. Real value takes longer but lasts.

"There's no time like the present."

Waiting for perfect conditions? They don't exist. We just keep saying no to ourselves.

I waited to build MapleStack. Finally started anyway. Now it's live, indexing thousands of jobs, creating opportunities.

Pick one thing. Start today.

It's November. Remember those New Year's resolutions?

Pick ONE thing. Just one. Make progress on it before Dec 31st.

Ship that project. Write that post. Launch that feature.

One win beats zero. Two months left.

What's your one thing?

Unexpected benefit of AI coding: it makes you better at code reviews.

AI code forces you to actually read it - can't assume it's correct. You catch logic errors, duplicate code, non-existent functions.

That skepticism transfers to all code reviews.

In football you need a bit of luck.. so far, Liverpool have been unlucky #LFC

Built some quick analytics for MapleStack this weekend 📊

22,950 jobs aggregated in October.

Most interesting insight? Weekend traffic drops 90%+ vs weekdays. Hiring follows the work week.

Every answer leads to 3 more questions to explore.

POV: You just had another "genius" idea at 2am 💸

Domain purchased ✅
Project built ❌

How many domains are you sitting on? 😅

Canada 🇨🇦 ranks 10th in GitHub's developer communities - not bad for 40M people! Likely the smallest population in the top 10. We're punching above our weight, but we can do better: more open source, accessible tech education, keep talent home, invest in community. Small but mighty

Funny thing about AI: I don't get "idea guy" messages anymore.

They can build it themselves now. AI assistants, no-code tools, automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Make) - the technical barrier is gone.

The freedom to build isn't just for devs anymore. Pretty incredible.

Everyone has ideas. Execution is what matters.

Three things that helped me ship:
• Start with the smallest version
• Commit to 30 min daily
• Log what you learn from failures

Ideas fade. Habits compound

Same thing AWS Devs said
The worst that can happen is:

It breaks!

And then we fix it :)
