The rental market in Zürich is nuts. Looking for an apartment is a full-time job.

Porting @applybaseapp over to vanilla React with a Hono backend is taking longer than expected, but I'm liking the results so far.

Ok, I've officially had enough. 2026 is the year of vanilla React and a separate backend. No project that I start will be NextJS.

Oof

I used to love coding I could spend days and nights doing it I’d discover new library or a framework, sit for 20 hours straight until I rewrite my app with it I was proud of my code, UI, db schema… I’d sit with a problem for hours or days and the moment I figured out great solution, I felt euphoric Today, I lost this joy. AI can do it all better than me. It’s almost like food. I used to love cooking, but today I simply go to the best restaurants and their food is amazing. I don’t enjoy my work anymore as I used to do. The only thing I still enjoy is twitting, because AI sucks at it, for now… I miss old good days, when I went to sleep thinking about a architecture, a function or an elegant code I will write tomorrow morning as soon as I wake up AI is like a shopping mall, I go there and buy anything I want I loved the old days when I had to do most of the things with my own hands AI is the greatest invention of my lifetime. I know how to monetize the sh*t out of it…but I lost the child like joy I used to experience at work and I feel really sad about it

First day working in Zurich. I'm working on @applybaseapp marketing and trying to hit my signup goal of 150 by the end of February.

I walked through a café yesterday and peeked at 5 laptop screens. 5/5 had some sort of AI tool pulled up.

We start our drive from Lisbon to Zürich today. It’s been an amazing 2.5 years in Portugal. Now for the next chapter.

2026 is going to be the year @applybaseapp hits 10,000 users. It’s the year of marketing for me. Applybase is a completely free job search tracking tool. Check it out and submit some feature requests 💪

Feliz Natal!!

I’m in the 6th year of my professional software engineering journey and I’d like to give a shoutout to @traversymedia The year was 2017 and I knew nothing. But I changed careers with Brad’s help.

Who’s using @better_auth out there?

Come over and show me some love at @applybaseapp

I’m thinking about buying a @1x_tech neo home robot. Talk me out of it.

I’ve had some excellent traction with applybase.app I still want more users though! And I need people to fill out the feature request form. It’s free. Check it out.

I’m looking for indie hackers in Zurich to bounce ideas off of. My wife and I will be moving there in a few weeks.

I’m seeing Monarch customer rumblings in the r/monarchmoney subreddit since they’ve introduced AI features. Is it time to build a personal finance SaaS that emphasizes NO AI?

Anyone thinking about building a personal finance SaaS with a value prop of “no AI”?
