I'm building a set of tools to work with OpenAPI specifications in teams. Some of the workflows I'm trying to unlock: - Track every breaking change pushed to your API and notify your team on Slack and e-mail - Generate a changelog

Is there something specific you wanna know? My arrangements look pretty similar: I bill per hour, clients pay me to create web applications (usually SaaS), and I work either alone (preferred) or on small teams.

Freelancing fixes this. I have a no-recurring-meetings policy, all clients are informed upfront. I overcommunicate and post regular updates on Slack, etc. I had zero issues with this so far (e.g. a client dropped me because I refused daily

I think you're right. I see a lot of tools for Node.js, Python, and even Rust, but not so much for other languages. I'm a bit frustrated with openapi.tools too, I think they could do a better job curating and keeping the tools upd

To offer a different perspective, I believe the ecosystem around OpenAPI has vastly improved in the last year or so, at least in my technology stack (Node.js & TypeScript). - I am currently building a product in the space and I've

This is super cool. Many startups are offering OpenAPI -> SDK, but I've never seen anything that generates a command-line tool.

I'm not a fan of setting multiple resolutions (hardcore focus), so I've only set one for this year: to get 1 (one) paying user for my SaaS app. It didn't help that I finished building it in November, but well... here I am sti

> constant communication between backend and front-end devs Curious, are you doing anything in your code-generation workflow to solve this specific pain point?

I really, really like Are.na. I cannot recall how many hours I've spent there going deep into some rabbit hole, browsing pictures of old Sony devices from the 90's. The only reason I stopped using was because, like many modern app

This reminds of a 17yo boy in Brazil who learned how to program on broken smartphones. The phones were seriously broken. One had a faulty touchscreen in the middle and the boy could only use it upside down with a reduced screen size. He des

Two things that worked well for me: 1. Work on your hobbies _before_ your actual work (or when you feel rested the most). Don't spend all of your "prime time" in your job. In the morning, when I am rested and focused, I dedic

Since nobody mentioned, https://outline.com works well with Medium articles. I use it every time I need to read one. Just go to `outline.com/<medium article url>`.

I guess you are tired of intrusive ads? I run a blog myself and the money that keeps it running comes exclusively from my pocket. All the content is free and fully accessible (no paywalls, reading quota, etc.). I build the website and wri

People don't read on the internet, they only skim. Short sentences are better for that.

Doesn't this depend a lot on _what_ and _where_ you are reading? I suspect people have completely different styles when reading e.g. a fiction book on a Kindle vs. a tutorial about deploying a Docker container. I wouldn't be surpr

Wow, so on Udemy you cannot reach your students on an ad-hoc basis? That's both clever and evil.

Thanks for the input anyway João! I didn't know about educative.io, how hard was it to publish a text-based course there?

Vue might have a similar learning curve as React if you are only used to Vanilla and template engines. Never really checked Svelte. Alpine.js [1] could be an option too. [1] https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine

It's good for building a loyal audience but I'm not sure about the revenue model. I think a "build once, sell twice" approach would be more sustainable on the long run.

#3 is actually a great advice, I was thinking of jumping immediately into publishing content to a platform like Udemy but your advice made me rethink that a bit!

The problem is that the big companies are not interested in phone numbers and names. The real gold are the connections - who you talk to more frequently, who are your real friends vs. random people you added, etc.

I went full JS three years ago from a Java/Spring background and never looked back. As a solo developer I noticed a huge increase in productivity and the time it took to ship code to production. My use case is a SaaS application with ~
