i'm also curious what you're switching to

A bunch of comments are complaining about how it's crazy that this is $99 or that they'll vibe code a free version this weekened. I've tried to make a similar tool for myself that let's me change CSS values live without talking to the agent and it made me appreciate the hundreds of invisible details that figma, framer, paper, etc. get right when building a visual canvas editor. I spent 6 hours going back and forth with claude just to get the editor to feel somewhat usable for editing existing front end work.

My friend and I made something for this recently which works as a google chrome extension: https://nextcall.xyz/

Would you be willing to accept applications for frontend interns with previous work experience on a React team?

I like the way you designed your website!

This website is missing a subscription gate. How am I able to view the site if I'm not a member!?

Amazon needs to improve the way it ranks products. I think it is unfortunate that, once a company gets a good grasp on market share, they blatantly disregard the user experience.

Examples: Pinterest/ Quora subscription gate

excited to see how we are able to connect with other founders. This is something I have wanted for a long time.

Am I the only one who finds this ironic coming from the top tech incubator in the world?

I'm in the same boat. I wonder what some of the people who apply for the hell of it could do if they were joined together to make a company. There are a ton of really talented people on here.

Wow, I can't believe you got rejected. Email and ask for feedback on your application as mentioned above.

That is, it's all wide open if you know where to look

I believe you are right. My whole point is that I am surprised that process is not easier.

I don't think that is necessarily true. You might be able to tell using information from a data broker like Acxiom or search engine data that people are not satisfied with the current options for buying LED strips, for example.

I think your comments have serious merit. That being said many people are focused on building a faster horse that nobody even wants. Isn't it strange that this is still a thing?

What I am saying is that the "deeper insights about what people really want/need (based on their words and/or observed actions)" aren't really that deep when you consider the amount of information available. Its surprising to me that people like you and me rely on people's claims to develop a hypothesis and test ideas. Shouldn't it be easy to get insights on a large portion of the population?

These look like some pretty cool interactions.

Then you need to set a config for your project, typically through a .eslintrc.js file in the root of your project.

This is the part I'm having a hard time with.

This site looks awesome! What did you use to build it?

Especially like the design and color palette.

That tutorial is much more expensive than many others, is it that much better?

My friend bought a react tutorial which is good, not great. The teacher of the tutorial tends to just say what he is doing which is all to familiar for anyone who has tried to learn something from one of these "tutorials."

I have been reading YDKJS lately and I have found it really useful thus far.

Yes I definitely need to learn more ES6 and ES7 stuff.

Will be on the lookout for those learning plans!

I did the basic JS syntax on fcc. Then took the dive into react, but had a hard time getting it.

I liked your posts and subscribed:)

I see what you mean about the cs degree and I agree with you, but I don't want to whole hog on it. This would take a lot of my energy away from other things. My hope is that my taking the most useful cs classes to learn the fundamentals and pairing that with working on projects on my own (developing an app in react native right now) will help me get a dev job if I want one down the line.

I did and I am in calc 2 right now. Thanks for the advice. If you have done any of those things yourself then you have lived a life far greater than the average human being.

Unfortunately I go to a school that would absolutely punish people like me for taking classes that are a real stretch. It would either throw my gpa out the window or take a lot of my time away from side projects and things that I really enjoy, which I already have not much time for.

I have pretty extensive knowledge of blockchain, but I have yet to see anything where I could take advantage of that fact without making one of those ICO type companies that doesn't seem to have actual demand for their product.

VR/AR are super interesting to me, but my school has very few courses on human computer interaction, which is a shame because I find that stuff super interesting.

Perhaps I could start working on the side as a college counselor. I am only 19, but I toured over 35 undergraduate universities and successfully applied to a top 20 school. That experience taught me a ton about how the process works and I am certain that you can "hack" the college application process.

One personality trait that has helped me in life I am extremely curious self-starter. When I want to learn something I completely immerse myself in it. I have done this a few times in my life. I did it with DJing, graphic design/ typography, finance, and more recently colleges. I think that the best way to describe this without talking to you in person is that I am able to talk about the things I am interested in such granular detail that it would raise suspicion of autism.

The reason I ask how to avoid the 9 to 5 is that many people, especially on this forum (I assume), are pulling it off. I am wondering how I can take advantage of my intense curiosity to do pull it off myself. I have 4 years to figure it out.

I definitely feel what you are saying with the temperament.

Many of these students do not have an authentic interest in business. To me, business is an intellectual pursuit. I know that this sounds silly and ironic, but I enjoy following the financial markets, learning about monetary policy, testing a business idea by designing a prototype, etc.

What I was getting at in this post is that I have no desire to be a middle manager.

I am doing this right now, testing an idea for an app and learning how to make mobile apps in react native.

Yes exactly

It's terrible to be reachable 18h/day.

This exactly. Sure I could go do the undergraduate business thing and live what many would consider a more than comfortable life making 80k a year, but most companies that I would do that for would own me and I would only ever be a pencil pusher. The problem with this, for me, is that I would not really have a life of my own.
