Connect your coding tool to a browser (like with the playwright MCP) and just let it iterate on its own until it matches the design you want.

I agree with everything except for Kamal. I'm happy to have someone else handle the server side maintenance. Maybe once my service grows so huge that handling it myself makes sense moneywise, but starting off that way is overkill when there's such affordable alternatives.

Lightweight umbrellas.

I find that if you check when the LLM's data was updated, and then choose a framework/language version release date that's before that, then it's pretty good.

In my case I use tailwind css a lot and found that sticking to v3.4.3 created the best output from LLMs.

You built a product first and then are searching for the market for it? That's tough. If you do it in reverse, find the market first and then build a product for them, it's 100x easier. Trust me.

The llm just returns a method name and arguments to pass it. Your code is in charge of actually executing it, and then replying with an answer.

There’s some YouTubers that release weekly videos about AI news. I suggest you search around for ones that suit your interests.

Friendster was one of the first big social networks but the amount of users slowed it down. That made everyone move over to MySpace/Facebook.

If I remember right, Friendster had a feature that told you how you were connected to every other person (friend of a friend of a friend, etc.). And it was this feature that made the pages slow to load.

The 4-Hour Workweek - motivated me to start my own business and now I have a lot of flexibility in my life.

I setup mine to automatically restart every night and it fixed a lot of issues.

I had the first one Venmo me just to verify people are willing to pay. Then I setup a quick solution using a no-code platform.

Maybe down the line I’ll build a fully custom one but for now it’s been working great.

Well, did you improve the product based on what the "free candy" people said? Were you able to determine the reasons they didn't buy and then improve your product accordingly?

Seems you should be improving your product/product positioning more. That would make marketing a lot easier.

I reached out to my friends to email-intro me to anyone who might be interested in my product. That mutual connection made it so that people were way more willing to jump on a call to discuss the problem space.

I made sure to be respectful and mindful of their time on each interview call. At the end of the call I asked them to refer me to anyone else that might be interested too. That way, the number of potential interviewees kept growing.

Eventually we did enough phone interviews to be confident to proceed with the development.
