I spent three hours yesterday debugging a "critical" production issue.
The fix? One missing await.
My client was stressed. I was stressed. And in the end, it was the most humbling reminder that even "fullstack" doesn't mean you're immune to stupid mistakes.
But that's also what I love about this work React, Next.js, Svelte, Node.js, PostgreSQL the stack is solid, but we're the ones who mess it up. And then we learn, fix it, and move on.
What's the dumbest bug you've fixed recently? Spill it. I need to feel less alone.
Open to projects of any size. Let's build something together.

42% of failed startups built something nobody needed.

Not bad code. Not bad luck. Nobody needed it.
If you are building an AI product...this is the cheapest fix you will ever make...
Ask these 5 questions BEFORE you build...
1. Who exactly has this problem?
Everyone is not an answer. Name a job title.
2. How are they solving it today?
If they are not solving it at all, it may not hurt enough.
3. What does it cost them?
Hours, money or missed deals. Get a number.
4. Would they pay for a fix this month?
Ask for a pre-order or a pilot, not a compliment.
5. Who have you talked to this week?
Aim for 5 real conversations before writing a line of code.
Copy-paste prompt to prepare your interviews:
I am building [product] for [job title]. Write 10 customer interview questions that uncover how they solve [problem] today, what it costs them, and what they have already paid for. No leading questions.
Compliments do not validate a product.
Payments and pilots do.
Save this before your next build sprint.

Such an important reminder! 👏 It's easy to focus on building a product, but understanding the customer's real problem should always come first. Real feedback is worth more than compliments!
