We took over a year of 4am daily development sessions all the way to Twitch Partner. I have made some amazing friends along the way. My skillsets and my craft's trajectory have forever changed from the decision to build in public. Thanks for the amazing ride, I love you all.

We did it, y'all. Embtr has been accepted to both Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and will be live as soon as it propagates. I haven't really felt any notable feelings about "finishing" 1.0.0 over the past week or two. Let's just say the chemicals in my brain are

Left my stream up after finishing. An hour later I found 25 viewers. I decided to give them what they want and started coding again - viewers dropped to 12. I don't blame them.

I am truly shocked that people find copilot so off that they had to disable it. I swear I just tab away my logic day after day. My pinky has never been so active. Perhaps tech stack?

spent a few days trying to optimize svg rendering on my react native app. As normal @expo comes to the rescue with their Image library. It now renders my svgs faster than the text in the component (and I can remove my home made local caching logic!).

Welp we one shotted the entire payment system for android and iOS. Literally wrote the code, couldn’t test it so we deployed and tested it in closed production. Clicked purchase and it worked. Then my chat continued to give me a level 12 hype train. Buy bitcoin, it’s a sign.

@ShyRyanW honestly a first-time-employee should get a sizable raise. Otherwise now they have skills and an open sea to interview with these new skills. BUT - if you give them a large raise they likely can't find that salary easily plus that is the money you lose re-hiring/ training anyway.
