Right, makes sense. I think you need to focus on one feature on Cloudflare to make this work. And it won't necessarily be network that's the advantage of that feature. For example, the WAF i…

Don't think there's much demand for this. If you're a dev, you'll rarely reach for WP. If you aren't, you're not going to want to use Supabase.

It takes too long to generate something, I gave up waiting.

What's the benefit of using this vs GitHub's own PR copilot? Also, I think you'll struggle with the pricing structure - too low for individual devs to bother using. And no larger compan…

https://developerwithacat.com/ I mostly talk about my learnings trying to launch startups.

I don't. I only look into it when I have a problem that I think AI will improve quite a lot, which doesn't happen often.

just tried "smallest chinese educational company listed in hong kong" . No results.

I'm curious, what's making your clients think that self-hosting is more secure and performant than CF? I struggle to see the scenarios.
comment
Self-host CapRover (Docker Swarm overlay) on a $7/month Hetzner VPS. Use it to deploy 4-5 apps, on the same VM.

Plenty of others offer sentiment data. And it doesn't matter anyway until you have proof that it generates alpha.

Not OP, but am curious what kind of security roles you have in mind? From what I know, you have to be passionate about it, as there's tons to learn in order to pass the interview stage.

If it's for the app you list on your profile - I wouldn't bother with SEO. You need to reach out directly to your target audience.
comment
Why don't you reach out to the person who's hiring, tell them your situation, and ask for an informal chat? Maybe even offer to work for free / on a freelance basis for a few months? Or…

I used ChatGPT to design the logo for my (failed) project: https://configberry.com/ . No mockup, just brief description of what I want, and couple of subsequent prompts to adjust. Not…

I wish product/design would care less about fidelity vs mockups. No one's going to notice anyway.
comment
You're best off finding an initial customer first. It sounds like your target market would be large corporates, as they're the ones to care about minimizing cost volatility. But it's un…

0-1 GMT principles are simple: 1. Figure out your ideal users
2. Find a way to reach out to them The answer to 2 depends on 1 - maybe it's meetups, maybe it's subreddits, maybe it's Lin…

No one's going to bother with a free survey; make it paid, and you'll attract some people, but unlikely to be your target audience. Just post one question at a time on the forum where your t…
