Technical Decisions and Challenges in Creating Side Bird
Hey there! So, in this awesome podcast episode, I got to interview Lillian, a super cool 21-year-old computer science student and part-time developer at a startup. We talked about her background, experiences working in a startup, and her journey as a solo project creator. It was so interesting to hear about the challenges of working in a corporate environment and the benefits of being a solo creator. Lillian even shared some tips on keeping organizational structures simple - so helpful! We also got to chat about some of her amazing projects, like creating an NFT marketplace and monetizing her Twitter automation tool. And let me tell you, the technical aspects of Side Bird are seriously impressive. We even talked about conversion rates and analytics tools - so much to learn! But, of course, we also talked about the importance of taking breaks. Gotta keep that work-life balance in check, am I right? Overall, it was such an informative and engaging conversation, and I think everyone can take something valuable away from it.

Maker Kit: Building a Successful Solo Product as a Software Engineer
Hey there, I am so excited to share with you this podcast episode where I had the pleasure of interviewing Giancarlo, a software engineer who shared his inspiring journey with us.
As a fellow software engineer, I was thrilled to hear about his transition from working for big companies to becoming an independent contractor and building his own solo product.
Giancarlo also shared his experience with learning English as a non-native speaker and how crucial it is to know English as a software engineer.
I couldn't agree more with him on this point.
He also gave some valuable advice on using templates and shortcuts for makers and not overthinking future problems.
We also discussed the future of engineering and the importance of marketing oneself as a developer. It was an eye-opening conversation that left me feeling motivated and inspired.
Finally, we talked about the importance of building a supportive community as a solo maker.
This is something that resonated with me deeply, and I hope it does the same for you.
Overall, this was an incredible episode that I am thrilled to share with you.
