Ship broken code and own it. Don't quietly push a hotfix hoping nobody noticed - someone always does.
Admitting "yeah, that bug was mine" builds more trust with your users than any polished post-mortem ever will. That honesty is also what helps you actually fix the root cause next time.
- time to break things, learn why they broke, and write it down
- time to stand in front of a room and share what you wish someone had told you earlier
That's it. Everything else is noise.
A good builder's life is honestly pretty simple:
- code that actually ships and solves real problems ⚡
- a small circle of honest devs who'll debug with you at 2am
- enough MRR to not panic every time AWS sends an invoice (or a migration plan to hetzner 😂)
"Move fast and break things" is itself a broken philosophy that breaks more than just code. It's designed to detach builders from accountability - disorienting them to the point where shipping speed becomes the only metric.
From there, you can justify cutting every corner.
Should I redesign unfake.dev's landing page? Initially, I wanted to keep it simple and minimal, but lately I've been feeling that a more modern design would attract users.
Congratulations!
Smaller wins teach you how to celebrate bigger wins later. Cherish them 🫰🏻

The more people try out unfake.dev demo on the homepage - they come back to me asking when it's going to be available for public 🥹 The demand is real.

Last weekend, I was working on something which could demo unfake's power and customizability in a much better way. Here is how you can fine tune different variables for your system's needs. Head over to unfake.dev to try it out.
Hahahahah I agree!
Found out about gmailnator - a service that gives you disposable email addresses over @gmail.com domain. Understood how it works, deployed changes to Unfake to be able to block those addresses reliably - all under 2 hours 🥂

It was great to get back on stage after 4 long years :))
Made me realise I need to brush up my audience engagement skills again :p

Hey, I have added myself to the waitlist. Would love to try it out!
Also, to mention - I'm bootstrapping unfake.dev (helps keep disposable email signups out of your system). I see a mutual partnership opportunity here since chage.co has multiple places where users subscribe via emails :))
Did some button animation on the homescreen :p

Um, the irony of this 😂
Hahaha true 😂
unfake.dev 's blocklist is very close to touching 200K 😳

There are a hundred reasons why you should visit unfake.dev and try out the demo. How about you tell me those after you're impressed with the product?
I'm onboarding early users to integrate Unfake with their products. Remember to drop in your email on the website to get an invite :))
