If you’re not getting spammed by Stripe, what are you even doing here?

Holy shit I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!!!

Anthropic dropped a complete guide to building effective AI agents. So cool! anthropic.com/engineering/bu…

Or better yet, ask your agent to read this.

Just built this with my daughter. Thanks @MarkRober ❤️

holy shit!

I want to launch my first iOS app. What do I need? I've already built the app and have a developer account.

Reddit can be pretty idiotic at times with mods getting power high.

Looks like I really don't care for tabs, but love my agents. Surprised by the Gemini 2.5 Pro, though

Here’s a question for the builders. Say you had a product with dozens of users and a 7 day trial. People don’t pay after the trial. What’s the problem? Bad product or not enough incentives to upgrade? Or something else? I need some help here fam!

The question no one is asking. How the hell is ShipFast still making that much money? This is coming from someone who bought it and enjoyed it a lot in the past.

The day these guys catchup with me I’m fu%*ed

Tell me why I shouldn't be using a sqlite database for a project used by only 2-3 people. Serious question because I'm leaning towards it.

Sunday evening. Most of my friends are out watching football or at the pub. I'm at my desk working on a client proposal. Besides, I don't even like football 😂 And I couldn't be happier. This weekend I: - Took my daughter to a birthday party - Had lunch out with my wife and daughter - Cooked Sunday lunch for the family - Took my daughter swimming - Now she's in the kitchen with mum doing loom bands While I'm here working. Here's the thing: Ten years ago, I would've felt guilty about this. "I should be relaxing." "I should spend ALL weekend with family." But now I understand: I'm not choosing work OVER family. I'm choosing work I love ALONGSIDE a life I love. Today I got to: ✅ Be fully present at a 6-year-old's birthday party (no phone, just fun) ✅ Have an actual conversation over lunch (not checking emails) ✅ Watch my daughter learn to swim without thinking about work ✅ Now do work that genuinely excites me No guilt. No FOMO. No feeling like I'm missing out. The shift: When you build a business doing work you believe in, "work" stops feeling like work. I'm not grinding because I have to. I'm here because I want to be. This proposal? It's for a company that genuinely wants to fix their developer experience. Real impact. Real results. That's not work. That's purpose. The gratitude: I get to choose my clients. I get to choose my hours. I get to be present for my family. I get to do work that matters. My parents worked 3 jobs between them so I could have choices. This Sunday evening at my desk? That's me using those choices. Not everyone gets this. I don't take it for granted. What does your ideal Sunday look like?

I almost shut down DevRel Bridge two months ago. Not because of money. Because of doubt. A potential client asked: "What makes you different from every other DevRel consultant?" I froze. I gave him the standard answer: "20 years experience, worked with top companies, proven frameworks..." He said: "That's what everyone says. Why YOU?" I didn't have a good answer. The Break: That night, I couldn't sleep. Why AM I doing this? The real answer scared me: Because I've seen too many DevRel teams get cut because they couldn't prove their value. Because I've watched brilliant advocates lose their jobs while the real problem (broken onboarding) never got fixed. Because somebody needs to say the uncomfortable truth: Most DevRel is theater, not strategy. The Shift: Next day, I called him back. "Here's why me: I'll tell you when DevRel isn't your problem. I'll tell you when your product experience is broken. I'll walk away from projects that aren't ready instead of taking your money." "Most consultants tell you what you want to hear. I'll tell you what you need to fix." Long pause. "When can you start?" The Truth: Your differentiation isn't in your resume. It's in what you're willing to say no to. The companies that "do everything" get hired by everyone and remembered by no one. The companies that stand for something specific? They attract the right clients and repel the wrong ones. I'm not for everyone. I'm for companies that want truth over comfort. And that's okay. The Question: What makes YOU different? Not your skills. Your principles. What will you say no to that others say yes to? That's your real competitive advantage. --- Hi 👋 I'm Marcos, I run DevRel Bridge where I help developer-first companies scale faster with strategy, content, and community.

My daughter received this party bag at a birthday party 😒

There is no way I believe this guy has 28 active subs, and still delivers on new work in under a day (other thread) and it’s only 1 person. What am I missing? Is design just really easy?

I’d believe you.
