   I'm around the same YoE but some things that I've felt have accelerated my growth: - build things outside of your comfort zone - work with smarter people than you - be intentional about your work. Always have a theme of something

   Building an online course[1] has been one of the easiest ways to make money in my personal experience. Other things I've tried building: SaaS, Trades business, Freelancing business. I've made over $8k since I launched last month a

   Huge FastAPI fan here. I use it for my projects (and one project even makes enough revenue that I sponsor Sebastián’s work through GitHub sponsors at $250/mo) and it for sure has increased my development velocity. It’s an absolute joy

   The next thing I'm working on is a platform[1] that lets other developers create and sell interactive programming courses. At launch it'll have python and JS support. I'd like to add support to allow the ability to teach thin

   This was so cool to read! I had a similar experience with my product[1] hitting the front page last week. The high level stats for mine were that it sent 18k visitors to my site and generated $1815 the first day it was up. The following day

   I don’t agree with the viewpoint but the revenue here has helped me sponsor one of my favorite open source projects FastAPI at $250/mo. There’s value in providing teaching on something that is free. I’ve bought learning tools/apps

   There’s been decent demand for some more advanced lessons. I’m considering adding more. Anyone who has bought already would get the additional lessons for free

    I worked on this for 3 days. I've been getting around 1k on average visitors from direct traffic and twitter since I launched it into access around 10 days ago. I'm going to work on SEO next for it :)

    Yes it does, all the exercises past the basic navigation one are real life use cases for how it can be used. I need to add some better copy and examples on the landing page so people will know what they're getting. Here's a video

    There are 10 exercises and 1 video that shows how I use vim in my normal development workflow. The lessons are: - Basic Navigation - Command Basics - Insertion - Append - Deletion - Word Level Navigation - Select Mode - Advanced Word Level

    Hey y'all! I built this interactive course after a year of learning vim and finding it to be extremely useful in my day to day development experience. The course is designed to give you lots of interactive practice so you can develop t

    This looks awesome Gabe. Is there somewhere we can see a roadmap of future improvements/features? I'm currently building things with React, tailwind, FastAPI, and hosting on Render. I'm thinking of buying it just to explore a

    I just never go to Spotify to listen to podcasts. Spotify is for music is the mental model o have. I listen to podcasts with the Apple podcasts app.

    Honestly the best ROI for part time work would probably be specialized high paid freelancing gigs. I was able to get freelance gigs on upwork for $85/hr as a relatively inexperienced developer a few years back.

    My general tips are to introduce it gradually into your workflow over time, and to practice with it daily. The best way to do this is to use vim in whatever editor you currently use. I use vim inside of VS code. I started by adding the basi

    Vim has been an absolute game changer for me. It's like learning ctrl+c , ctrl+v but x100. I use it in VS code, so I don't have to leave all my other favorite extensions. FastAPI[2] for fast backend API creation. It has auto-gener

    I’m a fellow musician and also obsessed with the idea of how music and specifically, deliberate practice, play into programming. It’s a super power. I’ve also noticed musicians are usually terrific coders. A big part of being a great music

    Nice idea! I think this would be very useful for myself and other indiehacker types. Is there a video of a demo of the product anywhere? Also is there audio involved as well? How do you communicate when you're in a session with the use
