🎯 For all my previous startups and MVPs, even the ones that only lasted a month, I built everything on traditional server + VPS architecture. Even for MVPs I’d set up auth, APIs, microservices, multiple instances, service communication, NGINX load balancing… the whole infra. Recently I started building projects with a serverless stack using Supabase, and I’ve noticed how much easier it is to get ideas out into the world. Less overhead, faster iteration, more focus on the product itself. If you’re not building serverless yet, it’s honestly worth considering. 🔥

University students, this is your early access. H.E.R. is a women-focused innovation experience built for those ready to move beyond theory and into execution. This is where bold ideas meet real mentorship, collaboration, and post-hackathon support designed to turn solutions into scalable impact. If you’re ready to build, lead, and create what’s next — start here. Pre-registration is now open. https://forms.gle/RFM1e948ZhtSCck56

You’re busy questioning your worth. At the same time, someone else sees what you’re capable of — and that possibility unsettles them.... You doubt yourself because you focus on your flaws. They fear your potential because they see your trajectory. You see your current limitations. They see what happens if you stop hesitating. Untested potential doesn’t stay neutral. It decays. The longer you ignore it, the heavier it feels. The heavier it feels, the more you avoid it. And eventually, you build a personality around playing small. Here’s the part no one says: Some people are not threatened by who you are now. They’re threatened by who you’d become if you stopped doubting yourself. So the real question is not: “Am I good enough?” It’s: “Am I willing to risk discovering that I am?”🫡 @wadehlife

Before your final year ends, or at least before you graduate,  challenge yourself. Don’t just aim for the degree. Aim for proof of work. Have at least: 1. 2–3 solid, real-world projects (not just tutorial copies) 2. Real-world experience 3. At least one deployed project people can actually use 4. A GitHub that shows consistency, not just empty repos 5. Real problems you struggled with and solved 6. Experience working with APIs, databases, authentication, deployment .... University gives you theory. The market asks for experience. https://t.me/insactc

Good morning y'all Anddd it's monday have a great n productive week☺️

Ladies and Gentlemen, as I have promised, the Chillaton is back gang🫡 Chillaton 2 is going to be much bigger than the previous one in many ways. We are going to have judges as part of the grading process in order to give the event a more hackathon vibe as well. Chillaton 2 will start on February 16 until February 23, with the final results being announced on the 28th I dont know how I managed to get these guys to participate in judging😂 (absolute heroes btw), we got @mo_tries @dot_ruth @corax_cave @SoloDevChronicles The criteria for judging will be based on cleanness of code, technical execution, functionality, user experience, problem-solving, problem-solving/relation to theme The theme for this chillaton is going to be: Glimpse into the Future Like the last time, you can build whatever you want. There are no restrictions, use them minds to create something cool. At the end deploy them and you'll send it to me alongside your github repo. This time, the reward pot has increased for the winners. 1st place: 3K birr 2nd place: 2K birr 3rd place: 1K birr Go crazy peeps. Show us what you're made out of😤

Good morning guys , And its Friday have a nice one😊

So...a Skill is a reusable capability for AI agents. Think of it as a plugin that teaches your agent how to do specific tasks better. Today at Dagmawi Babi's Meetup, Robi taught us about good design - colors, spacing, dark mode, animations. But here's the thing: nowadays agents are building more than we do. They need to know this too. That's why we built a skill called robis-design-best-practice. Install and use it on Cursor with:

Here's the easiest way to ruin the best years of your life ( your 20s ). Watch this Short Reminder 👇 https://youtu.be/ldD5KhfC_5Y Most people don’t ruin their 20s with one big mistake. They do it with small delays. “I’ll do it later.” “I still have time.” “Next year I’ll change.” This video is a mirror. If it makes you uncomfortable, it’s working. Watch it. Reflect. And be honest with yourself. 👉 Which of these habits are you already living with?

Good morning y'all😊

Introducing DBStudio: A modern, AI-powered workspace for your data I'm excited to finally share what we've been building. DBStudio is officially live. We built DBStudio to solve the headache of managing local and remote databases. Instead of juggling multiple clunky clients, insecure tunnels, or complex VPNs, we wanted something that just works, securely and instantly. Here’s what you can do right now: - Connect Anything, Anywhere Use our CLI agent (npm i -g @dbstudio/cli) to securely bridge your local Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or LibSQL database to the cloud. No firewall configuration needed. - Secure by Design We’ve implemented a robust, single-use token system. Every connection uses a unique, cryptographically secure token that ensures your database credentials remain safe. - Visualize Your Schema Understanding a new codebase is hard. DBStudio generates interactive, beautiful ERDs instantly. See relationships clearly and navigate your tables visually. - Chat with Your Data Stuck on a complex join? Our built-in AI understands your schema. Ask questions in plain English and get accurate, optimized SQL back. It’s free to get started. I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think! 👉 Live App: https://dbstudio.tech 👉CLI: npm i -g @dbstudio/cli 👉 Docs: https://docs.dbstudio.tech Happy coding and don't forget to watch the demo video!
