• We migrated to SQL. Our biggest learning? Don't use Prisma

  One thing that keeps coming up is that SQL equals low productivity. I don't think this is true. I think the culprit is that most developers are using to heavily abstracting SQL using ORMs like Prisma that hides the database and SQL logic.

• Ask HN: Sales Tips for Solo Devs

  A few things I have learned over the years and in particular launching and growing my latest project[1]: 1) Track everything including errors. Know what users are using and what they aren't. Remove or rebuild less used features. 2) Find out who your users are and what they value. Ignore non-payers. 3) Economize, market, and document features. You not only need to develop and deploy features, but also to price them... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Using AI I have departed from ORM and embraced SQL

  It started with me working on a hobby project, aihelperbot.com which enables users to generate SQL using AI. It was build using the comprehensive Prisma ORM. I always found Prisma bloated and it requires almost constantly that you lookup their API for even trivial usage. Source: over 1 year ago

• We Spent $1,500,000 on Ads Without Getting a Single Customer

  Sounds like a combination of an unpolished product with insufficient demand and wrong business model. Users today don't want to pay XXX up front for a complicated product, they want a free tier where they incrementally learn about features. I just looked up what I spend on Google Ads for a small campaign on SQL/AI related keywords for https://aihelperbot.com: - $699.95 (part of a spend $400 to get $400 deal) -... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• How I run my servers

  Neat setup. Regarding the deploy script. I have just setup a separate VPS for proxying database queries using various Node database drivers for my own project[1] and only used Github Actions managing it[2]: - add build script using Github Action that fails the entire build pipeline if code doesn't build - add deploy script (essentially a few commands ssh into your VPS and pulling, install, building and restarting)... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Browse Self-Hosted Software

  > None of these lists ever seem to be as fleshed out, up to date, or well organized as https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted or "best of" lists to pick a couple options to evaluate in more depth. If I analyzed 10 times as many options I might discover really wonderful projects I would have otherwise missed, but I struggle to imagine having that kind of time. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
