Coding a SaaS: A Day in the Life

Ғылым және технология

I'm Anthony, I'm a solopreneur software engineer. Welcome in this day in a life.
I'm working on my own SaaS product called breeew.com. It's a platform that helps to create and manage productized services.
Let me know what are you thoughts and if becoming a software engineer is something you'd like to do!

🤝 About me:
I'm Anthony, I started to code when I was around 12 years old and completely fell in love with the freedom and creativity that it gaves me. Since then I went from side projects to side projects and eventually made a living out it. Today I want to share my experience with everyone and talk about what it means to be to be a developer and also stories around my projects and learnings.

    Literally man, it's always better to make your own path than walking on someone else's. When you first dropped your laid off video half a year ago I also decided to make something of my own. I'm now in college and also learning build own things , thanks man, a huge inspiration you gave me, that I decided to come in computer science. Anyways, it's been a long time since your last video. Happy to see you back.

I also visited your web page and went straight to features since i wanted to know more about what u were doing. My heart almost stopped when i saw the Stripe animation. 7,995.00$ 👀👀👀 I later checked out the pricing. It wasn't as i thought :D But could be usefull feedback i guess. Cheers mate!

I'll tell you the truth, the new sign up/sign in screen looks great! It's also funny because the better you get at product/engineering, the more copying feels okay. When you're just getting started and you should be copying, we have too much pride and want to create something "brand new", as if that would actually work out well... hahaha
