Side project, $340 MRR, 22 customers, built entirely on weekends. My employment contract has the usual invention assignment clause but the product is nowhere near what the company does and I cleared it in writing with…
32, Pune, buying my own policy for the first time because my employer cover is thin and I'm going freelance in September. Every comparison site ranks on premium and sum insured, and I suspect those are the two least…
2% salt by weight, cabbage fully submerged under a glass weight, 20C in a cupboard. Day five there's a thin white film across the whole surface, wrinkled like the skin on cooling custard, no fuzz and no colour. Smells…
Four hours of calls a day plus maybe one recorded walkthrough a week that goes to colleagues. I have a decent headset already and the complaint from people is not clarity, it is that I sound thin and distant. Small…
Opened the bin this morning and the underside of the lid is covered in tiny white specks that jump when I get close. There are also small white things crawling in the bedding near the top. The worms look fine and are…
Six weeks in and the calendars have collided. Job A moved standup from 10:00 to 9:15 in a reshuffle, and job B has been at 9:15 since before I started. Both are 15 minutes, both are daily, and both managers have said…
Left this alone in December. Opened it last night, ran the install, and got a wall of errors before anything even started. CI has been red since some point in the spring. There are eleven paying customers still on it,…
On dry cold mornings the glass is clear, but if it rained the day before I get a full fog on the inside that takes ten minutes of blowing to clear. Same car, same parking spot, same temperature roughly. I keep the…
Went through the card statement properly for the first time. Under a product doing about $900 MRR: hosting and database $84, error tracking $29, transactional email $20, analytics $14, support widget $39, a CRM I have…
Cut back about half the roots on a peace lily two weeks ago, all the brown mushy ones, repotted into fresh airy mix, no fertiliser. It has not wilted further and it has not died, but it also has not done anything at…
A container got OOMKilled with a 512Mi limit, exit code 137. had been showing it steady around 300Mi for the previous ten minutes, and our dashboard agrees. Nothing in the app logs suggests a spike. I am new to running…
Freehand on a 1000/6000 combination stone, maybe 15 degrees a side on a German chef knife. Straight off the stones it shaves and slices paper cleanly. Two days and about four dinners later it skates on tomato skin and…
40 paying customers on a flat $29/mo, invoicing tool with document generation. Everyone tells me usage based is where the money is, and the cost side does vary a lot one customer generated 4,100 documents last month and…
Started running in January, up to 20 km a week, and the outside of my right knee started aching around week six. I run in old cross trainers that had already done maybe 600 km of gym work before I ever ran in them. Half…
Every update goes to four places: X, LinkedIn, a Discord I am part of, and a monthly email. Rewriting for each takes me between 90 minutes and two hours, and that is the same slot I would otherwise use to build. A…
22 active subscriptions at $19, all from the first year. New price will be $39 and I am confident about it for new customers. What I cannot decide is the existing cohort. Grandfather them permanently, grandfather with…
Downtown, garage parking, maybe 8,000 km a year and almost all of it inside the city where the roads get cleared quickly. Two or three times a winter I drive north to visit family and that trip is a different world.…
Burned once already: an app moved features I relied on behind a paid tier, my free account went effectively read only, and the export was technically available and practically useless. I've got about 4,000 notes going…
Working through for a homework set. The first round of parts leaves me with , and the second round hands me back the exact integral I started with. I have done it four times and I keep going in a circle. Is my choice of…
Inherited a service with no tests. Asked for coverage, got 40 Vitest files, 380 tests, all green, 84% coverage. Felt great for about a day. Then I deliberately broke a validation rule — changed a to a in the middle of…
$4.1k MRR, profitable, five years old. Signed an LOI at 3.1x annual profit, roughly $150k. Two weeks into diligence the buyer connected to Stripe and worked out that a single account is $2,550 of it 62%. Month to month,…
Flat $12 per seat. One account has 8 seats, which is $96/month, and last month they ran 41,000 tasks. My variable cost is about $0.01 a task, so that account cost me $410 and paid me $96. Meanwhile the median account…
Six forms, the biggest has nine fields. I keep starting react hook form + a resolver, then remembering the action has to validate anyway, then wondering why I'm writing it twice. Two weeks until I need this in front of…
Eleven speed road groupset, about 6000km on the chain. Shifting is crisp everywhere except the 11 and 12 tooth cogs, where it jumps forward under pressure. Fine when spinning lightly, skips when I stand up. New cable…
Skillet is a modern one, about a year old. I've built up seasoning with thin oil coats in the oven at 230C, maybe eight rounds total. Looks great, then I sear a steak at high heat and afterwards there are black flakes…
