Anyway i still consider this a success.
My last side project took me 2 years to launch... and it flopped hard.
A 1-week dev cycle means i can quickly see if something clicks (or dies) without wasting years at least...

In the end it took me ~1.5 weeks to release. the last 20% really took 80%: logo, website, tos, privacy policy, and a bunch of other stuff. meh 😂

I was looking for a challenge to break my routine of never shipping because of perfectionism.
A few weeks ago i asked gpt-5: "what’s something i could build and release in a weekend?"
One idea: a @discord.com bot that rewrites links in groups with admin's referral codes so they could make some money

I've had an on-and-off relationship with social platforms in general...
Not going to make any promises, but i'll just try to share a bit more of what i’m building: small wins, mistakes, and maker showcases.
More like a public dev log than anything else.
Let's see where it goes.

He was so fascinated by the idea of delegating "all that mathematics" to the computer.
It gave me a similar feeling to when I wrote my first BASIC script.

Day 1 was easy as usual... At least i had the time to setup an empty project, setup tests and CLI.
Funny part was my 10 years old son who got curious and asked me to try the first quiz together.
We did it in Ruby: gist.github.com/mborromeo/83... - yeah sorry for italianesque variables names!

Today starts the Advent of Code 2024! (adventofcode.com)
This year, i’ve decided to tackle the challenges in Elixir. Never used Elixir before, so let’s see how it goes.
I’ll publish my solutions here (until i'll get bored! 😅): github.com/mborromeo/ad...
(also... 👋 BlueSky people!)
