You just summarized the last 35 years of my life.

I love this! I've been building something similar for far too long - and it is far too buggy still - for Europe-only travel. Good luck with this. I know how hard it can be doing th…

Just got back from 12 days in Germany to follow Scotland in the UEFA Euros - team was a bitter disappointment, experience was once in a life time. Having to use my phone for everyt…

God I hate these interviews. I'm 45, focus on Web development, have worked in-house on teams building ecomm carts/solutions for multi-million dollar per ear local companies, in des…

Isn't Pieter Levels using AI to build is therapistAI app with pretty good results? I'm sure it's not perfect, but from what I've seen and heard about it, it seems to be a good spri…

Wow. I was just telling 2 co-workers this week that I keep a "How the F" file on my machine. It is not exactly what the author describes, but it's very similar and includes all the…

i love my iphone 12 mini for this very reason. It's still small enough to fit 'mostly' comfortably in my pocket, even a shirt pocket. I hate how large most phones are now and every…

Do developers really build basic websites / pages WITHOUT pure CSS when it's an option? I know there are times when you need to do something CSS can't (and shouldn't do of course. …

What do you mean it "isn't accepting" that you spent all the days since September 16 in the Scehngen Zone? Is it not accurately calculating that you no longer have days available t…

I built a small tool to help people traveling to Europe keep track or calculate how many days they will be in the Schengen Zone countries and - assuming they are restricted by the …

TLDR: Love your kid. Read and sing to your kid - even if you are an awful singer. I read and sang lullabys to both my kids from when they were weeks old. THey didn't understand, bu…

I like to tip based on the local minumum wage (or on the higher end if the service was exceptional, my own wage) and how long I have sat at the table for. So if the minimum wage wa…

All of my pet projects can be found as real tools or services elsewhere, but I built them for myself (or in the case of Eurotripr) as a hope to monetize one day. - Book tracker to …

I find NORMAL ChatGPT a good programming Rubber Duck and use it often.

I don't recall the guy's name. I don't even know what to google to find a link for you, but several years ago I came across an article of a man who did something similar to what yo…

My biggest concern with Home Schooling is you literally have someone not qualified as a teacher, as in probably knows nothing of the subject and may not even have an education them…

https://Eurotripr.com - a website/web app to help people plan trips to Europe affordably and with Confidence. I've been working on it off and on for WAY too long. Technically it is…

I love Dan Brown's books. Maybe critics don't like him for his formulaic writing - copying the plot over and over after Angels & Demons. But IT WORKS. And it is HIGHLY engaging and…

I recently told my co-workers on a Zoom call that I ALWAYS carry a paper map in the car and anytime I am backpacking or traveling in Europe. They couldn't fathom why I would bother…

Not sure how interesting they are for others, but i built a few things to keep myself accountable and track progress on parts of my life I wanted to improve - small parts, but thin…

Yeah I 100% agree. While I DON'T pirate anything, I DO pay for a sh!t ton of services to watch soccer and Cycling. Furthermore, I follow Scottish Soccer, specifically the Glasgow R…

Eurotripr.com - a constant work in progress. The goal is as if NomadList and Indiehackers had a baby and that baby wanted to help others travel affordably around Europe.

I hope Courtland and/or Channing does a podcast to explain this.

Without an actual clear response from COurtland or Channing, this is the first reason that I've sen that makes sense.

It was never bought by stripe to have MRR. The initial acquisition by Stripe was to allow Courtland (and Channeing) to continue just inspiring people to become business founders. N…
