I'm doing some quick programming and studying today from my laptop before lunch. I'd be interested too to know if anyone here has found a good and cost-efficient setup to vibe code from devices with small screens (eg. smartphones, tablets).

In weekdays, laying on the couch after eating a healthy and tasteful dinner after an intensive strength training session at the gym. Weekends usually allow more freedom and I have more cognitive energy available too, so besides "usual" weekend activities I work on some side projects while discovering cool ambient music or study some interesting topics (usually CS).

I like to share my ideas/projects with the world. Also, it helps me learn to express ideas and concepts. Bonus: sometimes you meet cool people interested in the niche you're exploring!

Yes that might be the cause. Maybe I need to increase the upper limit on iterations? I haven't tested it a lot with the bigger numbers since I've entirely coded this from my smartphone and it's quite slow at processing those numbers.

You're right: it's quite vague. It was intended as "best" for the reader. I'm picking up C again for general SW development after some years of stop, so I'm also wondering what people out there consider the best for their use cases.

Usually I build something I need and doesn't exist or can be improved wrt existing solutions. I don't necessarily do it for money since it's a side project we're talking about. Focusing on solving the core issue instead of finding a viable monetization strategy has some pros:

- makes it more fun for me - feels lees like another job - users won't be exploited

If you only need beer money to keep the project running, there are good chances you can keep it running for free too. There are lots of cool free services out there for starting out (eg. Vercel).

For example, I've just built and deployed https://calcolomassimale.it/ on Vercel for free: a 1-Rep Max calculator for strength exercises. There are several tools like this out there but:

- most are in english - italian tools are clunky/have too much useless text for SEO purposes/use old and ugly interfaces

The idea in this case comes from a simple personal need.

Thanks! Stronglifts looks like a gold mine of information to me. Just what I was looking for. Currently I'm training with a bodybuilder approach and I'm starting to doubt it because it's hard to increase weights when you only have mid-to-high-reps sets. Personally a lot of motivation comes from the increase in the weight I lift so maybe a powerlifting approach would suit me better. Since I'm a novice (started training about 2 years ago), I'm a bit scared of doing PRs though. But maybe it could be an efficient way to force me to improve form?
