Genuine advice I'd give to anyone interested in building things with code πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Vibe code, but dedicate even more time to mastering software engineering. They're not the same skill, and combining both can make you an exceptional engineer

I spent time today researching how and where people share stories about God's work in their lives, as well as where others turn to read and learn from those stories. The insights I’ve gathered so far are really shaping and refining my product idea.

Founders and builders in the house, what’s the hardest part of building a product, whether for a hackathon, practice, or real-world use? I’m curious to know what tends to be the biggest roadblock: 🀎 Coming up with a product idea ✨ Choosing the product’s name ↓

After participating in a hackathon today (more details coming), I continued working on the Testimony App, focusing on idea validation. Today, I worked on the product discovery side of the Testimony App by researching to understand the specific problem the Testimony App is

Today was quite a research spree! I spent time exploring what I’ll need for this journey, and I’m already enjoying learning about the five stages of the product lifecycle. 𝑰𝒅𝒆𝒂 β†’ 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 β†’ 𝑴𝑽𝑷 π‘©π’–π’Šπ’π’…π’Šπ’π’ˆ β†’ 𝑳𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉 β†’ π‘°π’•π’†π’“π’‚π’•π’Šπ’π’
