Agreed and most people tend to go towards ECS is because they don’t have enough resources to manage EKS or Kuberenetes in general

Now Kuberenetes is really powerful in my opinion but sometimes it might be an overkill

You might even get away with EC2s but they bring extra overhead of management such as patches and os upgrades and autoscaling can be trivial

As someone who loves teaching and building this can be very useful

For example i built this https://kubernetes-made-simple.vercel.app/

Now i can add this

Woah that's brutal all the important information is wild in public

This is a great idea, but going against FIX protocol would be huge challenge as it's an industry standard and there's alot of regulation in financial industry

It’s one of the best resources out there which helped me learn linux

Thank you for feedback and you are right, especially about learning from interactive tutorials

I love how you used SQLite (FTS5 + sqlite-vec)

Its fast and amazing for generating embedding and lookups

This is so true Especially with middle managers they are they the ones that are hit the hardest

Impressive work

You nailed right Most startups die because they optimize too much and have no real users

This is so true, scope creep is real when the client actively gets involved

And when that happens it’s better to move the contract to hourly rather having it fixed price

But you are also right about having a strong contract

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer with 5 years of experience in cloud infrastructure and automation. I spent 2 years at AWS Professional Services, where I led CloudFormation Resources Migration, built CDK constructs in Python and TypeScript, and helped enterprise customers design CI/CD pipelines.

I'm open to DevOps, platform engineering, SRE, or backend Python roles. Happy to chat about contract or full-time opportunities.

Happy New Year Everyone Wishing Everyone a great a year ahead and great health

I want to go full into indie hacking and learn atleast a new language this year

Lastly I must say with the help of AI i can now finally develop good frontends

Merry Christmas HN Sending Warm Greetings to Everyone: https://festivegreeting.vercel.app/?id=90564ef5-f137-43be-b6...

I’m hacking on different side projects but currently I’m working on developing a platform for helping freelancers or small agencies understand aws costs and optimize their environments

Its been a pain point for a lot of the clients I work with helping them understand and optimize their aws costs

They might get a surprise 1000 dollar bill and won’t be able to understand why it happened or what incurred that costs

+1 on that Opus 4.5 is a game changer I have used to refactor and modernize one of my old react project using bootstrap, You have to be really precise when prompting and having solid CLAUDE.md works really well

That thought makes me excited and scared

I haven’t written any single line of code but i have been able to plan and come up with new ideas faster

I’m more of a product manager than a coder due to these new AI coding tools

Its even better when using claude code

Impressive work.

With the rise of AI understanding software will become relatively easy

This is true, Being in corporate kills your creativity

That’s a great advice,

Have you heard of any success stories where people made good income building micro-tools

That's a solid Advice

Thank you

I see, That’s a good approach but how do find clients i must ask

Like what’s your goto approach here

That’s really cool.

Did you try the new pro mode

Here’s my advice,

As someone who was a developer and ended up in a support role by mistake of company

Now i left that company but here’s how I relearned everything

- Read lots of Code, look how things are implemented. You can use LLMs just don’t blindly use them to copy paste ask the LLM to thoroughly explain the approach.

- Treat LLMs as someone who has lots of Knowledge whom you can ask lots of questions.

- looking at different open source projects is really helpful and having the hungry mindset of learning

Would you be open to someone for those tasks?

I just checkout your project and it looks amazing. I’m not a Mobile Developer but I have definitely worked with Java especially with Springboot

Would love to get in touch with you

Just out of curiosity Are you a solopreneur

Back in the day googling was a skill not with the Rise of LLMs Prompting is a skill

I would love to hear your experience around building agents

And how did you even got started with building agents
