- How I ship features 3x faster using AI coding tools: My exact workflow from idea → production: 1. Brainstorm with Claude (architecture) 2. Generate boilerplate with Cursor 3. Review + refactor manually 4. Deploy in Vercel/Amplify 5. Ask ny friend for a review 6. Ship #buildinpublic
- I cannot imagine my daily activity without @notion.com at this point. #buildinpublic
- I can generate 500 lines of code in 5 minutes with Claude. Cool. Useless if I can't understand it. The bottleneck shifted from "how fast can I type" to "how fast can I review." #buildinpublic
- Everyone's talking about "AI-assisted coding." Nobody's talking about the part that actually matters. It's not about writing code faster. It's about debugging faster. Here's what a year of daily AI coding taught me: 🧵 #buildinpublic
- My rule for building: Use AI for the 80% heavy lifting (RegEx, boilerplate, API boilerplate). Manually architect the Core Logic. If you can't understand the code, you can't find the bugs. "Human-in-the-loop" is the only thing that will keep your software from becoming obsolete. #buildinpublic
- Stop treating Cursor like a better Autocomplete. The real skill in 2026 is Context Management. We are shifting from "Writing Code" to "Reviewing Logic." Your value is now your ability to spot a logical flaw at 100mph. #buildinpublic
- The biggest mistake I made with AI agents: Letting them touch schemas too early. Now my rule: – I design data models first – Lock interfaces – Then let agents generate around them Agents are powerful *inside constraints*. Chaos is not intelligence. #buildinpublic
- I’ve seen enough "AI Slop" UI to last a lifetime. Just because an LLM generated the logic doesn't mean you should let it design the experience. My 3-step process for perfect UI: 🧵 #buildinpublic
- So, In the past months I have used Cursor, Antigravity, Claudecode, Kiro, Windsurf, Warp I somehow sticked to cursor, and didn't feel the necessity to change. Is there something else I should try? #buildinpublic
- good morning folks! what is cooking today>> #buildinpublic
- What made you choose a different path, when following the crowd was easier? #buildinpublic
- As a developer what tools you use everyday? #buildinpublic
- Here are some of the sites where you can host your site for free: Vercel Netlify Amplify render github pages Digital ocean firebase hosting surge .sh always data bookmark for later!! #buildinpublic
- Day 22 of building basedraft01 (your content kitchen) MVP done. First Deployed done on amplify. excited for what's next... Happy holidays ☃️ #buildinpublic
- Day 21 of building basedraft01 (your content kitchen) Shipped the Login page, Ideas box, and the Script writer today. Each screen is designed around the real templates creators already use every day. More coming soon. 👀 +2 people in waitlist, + 50 views #buildinpublic
- If you are deploying apps in the cloud - you need to know about these 2 concepts: Ingress: the traffic entering your network boundaries from the outside Egress: traffic leaving your network boundaries to the internet #buildinpublic
- Started Instagram a month ago with 0 posts 0 followers 0 views Now 9 posts 104 followers 11K impressions doubling down on it, let's gooo!! #buildinpublic
- Looking for free web hosting to start with? Pick one from below👇🏽 vercel netlify amplify cloudflare pages render there is no barricade for you to build in this world. you can just start. #buildinpublic
- good night, happy sunday
- This is all you need when you’re looking for icons. Nothing more.👇 #buildinpublic
- Most AI coding tools have terrible taste. They generate logic fine, but the UI always looks like a generic wrapper "AI Slop". The fix isn't better prompting-it's better references. I’ve been testing @Kombai. Instead of letting the model guess styles, you pull "Resource Library" #buildinpublic
- Day - 9 of Building - basedraft01 - a content OS 187 visitors 5 wait listers (not bad ig) Sourced the core templates and formats that people have been using for content dump to storing hooks etc. started building - will update the status tomoroow.. see ya! basedraft01.com #buildinpublic
- Build fast, break smarter. #buildinpublic
- LLMs didn’t make developers faster. They made slow thinkers obsolete. #buildinpublic
- good morning all! #buildinpublic
- Day - 7 Building a content OS After searching domain names for 6 hours and after checking all the available domains, settled up with - basedraft01 bought the .com domain. 1 day after launching the website - got 71 visitors and waitlisters started building basedraft01.lovable.app #buildinpublic
- this is a grind week #buildinpublic
- How is every domain name in the world already taken when no product exists? 🥲 #buildinpublic
- Every fancy piece of advice or tip you see here in buildinpublic means nothing, unless you are building or trying something. Without that, it is just a page of fancy text giving you a dopamine hit - a false feeling of 'I know something' #buildinpublic
- Write a one-sentence value prop for your business #buildinpublic
- What building chrome extensions actually is Plain JS wins for tiny, performance-critical features and minimal bundle size. React wins when UI complexity, state, and reuse increase. Choose by maintenance, testability, and expected growth - not by hype. #buildinpublic
- took a 2 day complete off - now back again!!!!! #buildinpublic
- – One clear ICP – One painful problem – One simple promise #buildinpublic
- How to build better with AI? "GIVE CONTEXT" #buildinpublic
- The debugging framework every dev should know: – Reproduce the bug – Isolate the smallest failing case – Strip everything unnecessary – Compare expected vs actual behavior – Add logs only where logic changes #buildinpublc #devs
- Made a reel on openAi . I am just starting out and improving steadily. Suggestions are welcomed. #buildinpublic
