2 weeks into (neo)vim, here’s my takes: - motions are definitely useful, will likely use them with whichever editor I decide on. - using it as a full IDE-like experience feels like it will take months to fully develop/tweak. Not sure if it’s time well spent 😅

Copilot is honestly such a game-changer especially for solo indie hackers. I'd argue that halves the dev time of any MVP ⚡️

In your opinion, what’s the best tech stack for indie hackers and why? 🤔

Is it just me that finds it way easier to focus/code in the evenings?

Have you ever seen an indie hacker use more than 1 git branch? It’s the unspoken rule 👨🏽‍💻

If the MVP takes more than 2 weeks of work (max) you're doing something wrong. Change my mind.

Is anyone reading Million Dollar Weekend by @noahkagan? Loving it! Really drives home that pretty much any idea can be turned into monthly 💰 if you move fast. Anyway - here's my first payment 😅

I've just started using X recently. My honest opinion is that it seems most people care way mor about the numbers rather than WHO they're connecting with. I'm happy to grow slowly, organically and with the right network of people. Thoughts on this? 💻🥥

Anyone else happy to never have to touch raw CSS again after switching to @tailwindcss? ☕️🐸

As a programmer, do you value financial security in a job or the freedom of building your own products?

Just started 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius 📖 Excited to explore his wisdom alongside my coding-filled days! 📜 Has anyone read it before? #Philosophy #indiehackers

Focus on mastering a select few technologies, languages, and frameworks for long-term growth and expertise in your indie hacking journey is infinitely more valuable than attempting to learn every new trend that comes along. What's your preferred tech stack? #IndieHacking #code

What’s the best resource (outside of the official docs) for learning tailwind? Design isn’t my strong point and really need to get this tightened up for a project I’m working on. #tailwindcss #indiehackers

My life's goal isn't to be as rich as possible. I simply want to work 2-3 hours per day, help thousands of people, have plenty of time for exploring hobbies, spend time outside, cook with my wife, exercise whenever I want, and avoid pointless meetings. That's all I care about.
