📦 #Shiptember Day 7 – First Week Recap: - Deployed 1 app + launched → got my first user - Indie-hacker CRM: deployed & dogfooding to see if it scratches my own itch before launching it - Started writing a NeoVim for VSCode material This week was all about system…
📦 #Shiptember Day 6 Wanted to finish my second MVP today. Tried to brute-force it… but after 50 mins my brain was fried. Do I train my focus for longer deep work sessions? Or embrace 50-min sprints + micro-resets? What’s worked best for you?
After years of bloated frontend builds (PostCSS, CSS frameworks, JS bundlers). … I went back to vanilla CSS + self-hosted htmx. Feels like my apps are on Ozempic.
Lawyers vs Python: Divorcing in Japan, I built my own local RAG app to parse Civil Code + custody guides. Stack: FastAPI + BM25 Challenges: tokenization hell, hallucination guardrails Result: citations, not made-up law. Full write-up → rafaelviana.com/posts/lawyers-…
📦 #Shiptember Days 4 & 5 Lawyers vs Python. I’m a Brazilian divorcing in Japan. Lawyers gave me conflicting answers. So I built my own legal AI. Here’s the story: rafaelviana.com/posts/lawyers-…
Life Stack: - Stoicism = backend (structure, resilience) - Daoism = UX (flow, simplicity) - Buddhism = DevOps (continuous maintenance)
Early on, I thought being a good engineer meant knowing every framework under the sun. Now I don't diversify. I trust my boring stack: FastAPI, SQLite, HTMX
Shipping scrappy always feels shameful. The mind whispers "Add more, make it perfect." The real discipline is saying no. Shipping is the point
📦 #Shiptember - Day 3 Feature request shipped: edit/delete posts via email (no login needed). ✅ Simple. Fast. Also sketching a bigger project: A bootcamp for builders - not job-seekers. For entrepreneurs who want to create on their own. (I used to teach at a coding…
Years ago I quit my job and started a food truck. We cooked, sold, posted, hustled. Fun, but ended in debt. 2025: quit my job again. This time I ship code, not food. Same hustle. Infinite leverage.
📦#Shiptember - Day 2 Yesterday: scrappy MVP + 1 user Today: my first user request. ✅ Built it. 🔥 But also spent 6 hours firefighting: - Conflicting files - Pure DevOps noobness I need to learn DevOps - just the essentials for solo builders. (IndieOps?) Builders: how do…
Apparently my brain peaked at 14. Tried a bunch of ages with ChatGPT and ‘Explain like I’m 14’ is the only one that actually makes sense to me.
Ship one feature. Ship one tweet. Talk to one person. Do that every day.
Every ship is an experiment. Don’t "launch a startup", run a thousand micro-tests.
The "Hello World from a DB" rule - if you can’t reply the skeleton, don’t keep adding flesh.
📦 #Shiptember - Day 1 Built a marketplace for Brazilians in Japan 🇧🇷➡️🇯🇵 (from idea to deploy) in 6 hours and 19 minutes. First user: my mom 😂 (thanks mãe ❤️) 👉 Who’s shipping with me this month?
🚀 Stop finishing the whole startup before thinking about deployment. Rule #1: Start with deploy. Spin up a DB with just "hello world" Push it live Keep coding → push commits → check deploy Shipping is a habit, not a final step.
