It is possible to build a web app with the latest tech stack and not get any users, while a web app built with a legacy tech stack can be very successful. The real differentiator is the ability to build something that users find useful to the point that they are willing to pay for it. Another important factor is the ability to market the product. The usability and visibility of a product take precedence over the underlying technology used to build it. That said, using newer technologies to build something useful comes with its own perks, including modern interface, performance, and scalability. However, at the end of the day, done is better than perfect.
How do you feel about stealing the jobs of millions of models that will probably turn to prostitution? With your crappy product that gonna flood the web with non existing weird people.
Hey Pieter, Is er een koppeling met jouw NomadlListGPT beschikbaar? 🥹 Met mijn e-com merk Nomadius zou ik heel graag een koppeling met jouw database willen maken als dat te overleggen is. Wil heel graag NomadList ook promoten met het e-com merk. Kom heel graag met je in contact 🙏
Hey Pieter, ik ben Jim van Nomadius, een e-com merk voor digital nomads. 🌍 Ik ben bezig met een Nomadius AI Travel Assistant en zou graag jouw NomadListGPT database willen gebruiken om het te verrijken (‘powered by NomadList’). Zou zoiets mogelijk zijn middels een API connection? Graag willen we NomadList promoten bij onze klanten 🚀. Hopelijk kunnen we in contact komen met elkaar 🙏
Every day I doom scroll youtube, getting endlessly trapped into content that is designed to rage bait you into watching more of it. Culture wars, disagreements and antagonistic bullshit that I wish I could just stop watching. This video made me full of awe at the great potential of individuals and humanity as a whole. Thanks for the inspiration!
Back here again as I approach the launch of my first SaaS. I was inspired when I saw this in 2018, and the idea of trying this myself has been stuck ever since. Focused on career first, and now that I’m in a good place it’s time to build 🙌🔥
44:36 There are a lot of languages, but basically what you are looking for is frontend: html/css/javascript backend:php and when he says vanillajavascript basically what he is saying is try to learn javascript and avoid libraries ie react, jquery, d3, underscore, etc... You can write a page for the frontend and just keep it static. Only html. Then add some color...with CSS. Then you can add some interaction with Javascript. Then you can make it so that it saves data into a database this is where you start with backend code, so you need to setup a backend environment. To start with backend you can use php. To setup a backend environment you can use XAMPP. One of the most simple and challenges project to start learning is, create a TODO list. You can do this on the frontend only to start. Make it so that it add and remove items. You could then add functionality to edit. Then if you want to make it persistent, you can add the backend and store data there.
9:02 Actually Elon Musk started with something even smaller and unthinkable at the time. Zip2! Scanning all the pages of phone books across the nation and building a search machine for that data. When CompUSA acquire the company for $300 Million about 3 years later, he had a 7% share, but still he made about $27 Million at the age of 27! The engineers that took over the code to integrate with CompUSA say it was the worst code they have ever seen. This is an example of execution vs perfection. Also, he and his brother were living in an office space while executing since the ISP was right above them and they threw a line from one floor to the other. He will keep the website running during the day and look for investors and making sales, then he will take the website down at night and add data or write code. He only had one computer. Talk about bootstrapping!
33:50....People wait HOURS in line for that homemade ribs at a rundown shack. Perfection is the enemy of good. Just ship and they will come. And even if they dont you have an indication that there is something to improve
I'm currently enrolled in cs50 web, and the assignments are hands on projects that you'll have to build yourself. I've learned a lot so far. I highly recommend the course.
