The podcast was a whole gem, fr. Learned a lot from @eyuelzerostuff… even picked up a few quotes 😂 As a beginner dev, my real job right now is to spot problems and solve them , pushing myself with a specific stack until I can confidently call myself “intermediate.” One of the biggest topics we covered was pricing. Setting prices as a beginner is tough because we don’t really know our worth yet. The solution he shared was simple but powerful: “Set your price based on the market benchmark.” So I wanted to create something meaningful around that. Right now I’m learning TypeScript and some backend concepts (used both in my latest project 🫀), and that’s when the idea hit me:

Why not build a platform that helps freelancers figure out the right price for their work?

I KNOW I’m not the first person to think about this or attempt it , but that’s not the point. The goal is to learn by building real projects… that’s how we gain actual experience. The idea is simple: You upload your work -- AI scans the web -- it gives you a price range for international AND local clients, based on your level and the project type. I don’t want this to be “just another side project.” I want it to hit. I might even integrate the 18 HOURS concept into it too. And here’s a wild idea I’m considering: What if the platform also came with a phone widget that shows your “dev value” right on your home screen? (I have no clue how to build widgets yet… but we’ll learn it 😭🔥) If you have feature ideas you think I should add, drop them in the comments .. I’ll appreciate it big time. Have an amazing day, family ❤️ @DEVLUTO

This week was a solid W for the channel , we had a good run and over 50+ new people joined us. Thank you all for showing love on the latest project 🫀 And for everyone who just landed here… welcome to the family you’re part of the motion now. "Growth hits different when you’re moving with people who believe in you." Appreciate every single one of you ❤️ @DEVLUTO

Good morning 😂 @DEVLUTO

So I broke the drivers flash in the taxi , while we were megafating for the gabina I'm hoping he won't notice it eskemwerd dres , the radio is playing perfectly 😂🫠

Something I wanted to talk about for sometime is vim.lsp, the new vim/nvim approach to integrating language servers. Basically, in the new approach, you'll have to create a new lsp/ 📂 Folder at the root of your config. In that folder you put a lua table of the configs for each language server you want. For example, if you wanted to configure ts_ls (typescript language server), you'll create a ts_ls.lua file in this directory. Then, you'll put code that looks like this:

{
   cmd = {"typescript-language-server"},
   settings = { <specific settings for ts_ls> }
}

Once you do this, you go to your init.lua file, if you're using lazy.nvim, and you just put the line: vim.lsp.enable "ts_ls" That's it! NOTE: You should include the path to the lsp binary in your settings if you downloaded it manually. The above method works if you downloaded it with mason.nvim

ሰላም! 👋 I'm Zeamanuel, and I'm researching how Ethiopian freelancers work with local clients. I'm looking for freelancers (graphic designers, web developers, content writers, photographers, social media managers, etc.) who:

📌 Have 1-5 years freelancing experience 📌 Work with Ethiopian clients (not just international) 📌 Recently completed a project (last 3 months) 📌 Have faced payment delays OR work without written contracts

🎁 Gift for participating: - Ethio Telecom: 2800 Minutes + 20 GB - Safaricom: 40 GB It's just a 60-minute conversation - no selling, just honest questions about your experience. Your insights will help build Hisab, a tool designed specifically for Ethiopian freelancers. Interested? DM me or comment below! @aradalicious Thanks 🙏 @OnyxDesignx

Introducing WebMTP So the worst thing about Macs , is that you cant just plug in your android and just access the file storage directly how you do with windows, you need to install third party software and set it up just to have this basic functionality which is why i made WebMTP, connect and directly access your phone storage from the web on MacOs without any installs and it is also open source so would appreciate it if you drop a star on the repo Github

🚢 Dev Log: What I learned building Project Pulse (AI SaaS) I just deployed Project Pulse an AI-native operating system for developers. It’s live on Vercel, but the real value isn't just the app; it’s the hurdles I hit while building it. Here are the top 4 lessons from this sprint: 1. UI Evolution: From Basic to "Obsidian" 🎨 I started with a standard, high-contrast White & Black theme (Linear-style). It was clean, but it felt... safe. It didn't have that "premium" factor. I pivoted to an "Obsidian" aesthetic..deep matte blacks, subtle borders, and glassmorphism. The Lesson: Functional design is good, but Atmospheric design is what makes a product feel expensive. Dark mode isn't just a color flip; it's an identity.. 2. Next.js Caching is Aggressive 👻 I spent hours debugging a "ghost bug" where deleted projects kept reappearing on refresh. Turns out, Next.js caches API GET requests by default in production. The Fix: Adding export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' to my API routes. If you're building real-time dashboards, you have to explicitly tell Next.js to bypass the cache. 3. Prompt Engineering = Backend Logic 🧠 Connecting Gemini AI was easy. Getting it to act like a Senior CTO was hard. The AI kept giving generic advice (e.g., "Setup Database"). The Fix: I had to inject the specific Tech Stack from the database into the prompt context. Now, instead of "Setup DB," it says "Configure Supabase Row Level Security." Context is king. 4. The "Magic Moment" UX ⚡️ A To-Do list is boring. I needed a feature that actually solved the problem. I built "The Solver", a button that reads a specific task and generates the code snippet to solve it. The Lesson: Don't just tell users what to do; give them the tools to do it. Check out the live build. Feedback on the UI is appreciated! 👇 🌐 Live Demo: https://pulsev1-six.vercel.app/ #BuildInPublic #Nextjs #SaaS #FullStack #UIUX. @DEVLUTO
