Currently at $4.5K MRR. Random experiences, learnings, and thoughts: - Building a b2b product is more valuable for the effort you put into it.

And then noticed it is getting hot which I thought was okay because I'm a hardcore developer and run a heavy workload locally. But this kept happening when I wasn't running any coding workloads.

Most of the time it is bad but sometimes we get to build cool things. Ever since I saw GatsbyJS, I wanted to re-write everything to JAMStack whenever possible. I did save $400/year by doing so. Next, I was able to run a programmatic SEO property with over 165,000 pageviews/m... https://saikrishna.me/blog/using-prisma-with-nextjs-at-scale-clmx2s459124281no02pc5epov https://saikrishna.me/blog/using-prisma-with-nextjs-at-scale-clmx2s459124281no02pc5epov Sai Krishna Sat, 04 Sep 2021 18:30:00 +0000 Prisma ​ Prisma is a type-safe and easy-to-use ORM. It started garnering a lot of interest and developers are flocking to use Prisma 2 in their applications. Prisma offers schema-based client-SDK generation, easy migrations, and most of all, type-safety out of the box.

I switched from Saavn to Gaana solely because of their UI and dark mode. Parineeti Chopra being their brand ambassador and me loving her (for totally different reasons) had nothing to do with the switch.

Trust me, this is going to sound very weird, but it works . Just resize the terminal the window, the build process should resume.

When you are deploying a tar file with large size, you will see this error message. This is caused due to the nginx.conf which sets default max file size limit to 200MB. How to fix it? In your captain dashboard, go to settings.

The process, however, was easier than it should be. For mHotspot, I had to build additional templates for website pages and blog posts and make code changes to gatsby-config.js and gatsby-node.js.

But after disconnecting and reconnecting my phone, the codec switches back to aptX. The solution is to go to bluetooth settings and enable LDAC for paired headphones.
