Like many software engineers and indie hackers, I dream of and experiment with different product ideas every now and then. Five years ago, in 2018, I toyed with an idea where personas and expressions are the enablers for showcasing people's talents and interests. I called it, Persumi. The Origin The original idea was to break the pattern of modern day social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, where every person is hidden behind a two-dimensional facade. Words and photos are...

Hindsight is such a blessed thing. Should I have had a time-machine to tell myself to keep running track, don't date that person, buy bitcoin; I would have been in such a different space than I am in now. That point in itself is enough to appreciate all the hardship I've been through - whether useless or crucial to my growth as a person. That's where the appreciation for hindsight comes in. Hindsight is such a blessed thing, because it's the current you, using the past you, to create an inform...

A few weeks ago I soft launched an MVP - you are looking at it right now. In this post I'll talk about the features, the tech stack and the globally distributed infrastructure behind building this MVP, and of course, with a sprinkle of learnings too. The "MVP" Deciding what makes up an "MVP" is always interesting - I've heard some saying if the product isn't embarrassing you're releasing it too late, and also if the product is embarrassing, you're not gonna make it. For me, I've always had th...

After having soft launched Persumi in 2023, I quickly found myself wanting to explore better ways to promote the product. Unfortunately, most of digital marketing products are focused on three main areas: 1. Keyword bidding, e.g. Google Ads or Facebook Ads 2. Cold outreach, e.g. Apollo 3. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) They each has its own pros and cons. As an indie developer without a huge budget, none of these tools work effectively. The Challenges Keyword bidding and targeted ads are...

Over the past decade or two, both as a software developer and as a manager I have accumulated a few tips for becoming a better software developer. For context, I've been working as a software developer for more than a decade, mostly in small product-based companies; over the last decade or so I've worked as a team lead or manager in various capacities; and I've moonlighted as a consultant, freelancer and open source contributor in-between. Check out my LinkedIn profile and Github profile if you ...

Small gestures can have a significant impact on customer experience. By listening to customers, empowering employees, mapping customer journeys, monitoring impact, sharing successes, and budgeting for gestures, businesses can create lasting relationships with their customers. These gestures can range from personal touches like handwritten notes to proactive communication and extra-mile service. By focusing on authentic understanding and fulfilling customer needs, businesses can create a posi...

"Do Not Overstate Your Capability," but do make sure to highlight the various areas in which you have polish. The interviewer may ask what experience you do not have, which you can then explain to be a critical reason for wanting to find a new job. You WANT them to see you as motivated and eager to learn, not as someone who thinks too highly of themselves. If you already knew it all, you likely wouldn't be in the position of interviewing for a job.

In this era of rapid technological development, signal jammers have become a topic that is both mysterious and eye-catching. Especially today when drones, GPS signals and other communication networks are widely used, the role and impact of signal jammer is increasingly attracting people's attention. So, what are signal jammers? What benefits can they bring to us? With the popularization of GPS technology, personal privacy and security issues have also begun to emerge.

Thank you for the valuable tips! I'll definitely incorporate them into my work. Regarding UX, may I suggest opening external links in new tabs? It would enhance navigation and maintain reading flow. Just a thought for a smoother user experience. Much appreciated!

In the 5G era, the dream of the Internet of Everything is gradually becoming a reality. Many people are beginning to imagine the future life: smart home, autonomous driving, drone delivery... However, along with these new technologies come various security risks and challenges hidden behind the technology. In this context, jammers, as a technical means, have gradually entered the public eye. In some cases, signal jamming device can be regarded as "protective umbrellas". For example, in some meet...

Great insights! Writing blogs (reflections, learning, etc) more often helps. Especially when they're done on Persumi. 😁

Excited to build and be part of communities on Persumi!

Unveiling YouTube Success Strategies: Focus on the Narrative

I agree. Hindsight IS useful. :)

Due to COVID-19, not many companies are hiring at the moment. The company I work for therefore is in a very fortunate position to still be thinking about growth and hiring. As a hiring manager for almost a decade now, I've personally reviewed thousands of job applications and CVs, and many hiring managers would probably agree, the vast majority of CVs are terrible. Let's change that! During COVID-19 where more and more people are either losing jobs or having their work hours cut, we are experie...

Ahh super. Not a topic close to (most of?) the FIRE purist's heart. Why? It doesn't actually help you FIRE any earlier.
