I've been building other people's dreams as a freelancer for years. Now I finally decided to build my own!

Indie hacker X is basically 4 posts on repeat:
- "Day 47 of building in public"
- "Just hit $10k MRR"
- "Drop your link"
- "Let's connect!"
I'm guilty of at least two of these lol
Genuine question for solo founders.
Do you actually want a cofounder?
Or is going solo the whole point? :)

Spot the bug in 5 seconds.
Hint: it works perfectly... until the database hiccups once :)
ALT Go function: rows, err := db.QueryContext(...); defer rows.Close() placed before the if err != nil check; then a rows.Next loop scanning id and email.
Hot take: Go is the best language to let an AI agent write.
Boring syntax, one way to format it, compiles in seconds, and every error is right there in your face.
However... I still read every single if err != nil it spits out lol
Looking to connect with people who are:
- indie hackers
- game devs
- DevOps engineers
- mobile developers
Would love to connect!

I'm so bored on X these days cuz everyone is using models to write slop in the replies...
Maybe I should just give in and do the same kekw
Hi, I'm Arden :)
32, solo founder from Italy. Freelance dev for years, now building my own stuff.
Linux nerd (Omarchy on my old uni laptop), Go + Postgres, Claude and Codex every day. Gym and ADHD keep me humble.
If you're building something too, say hi. I read every reply.
Vibe coding is fun.
However...
The second your app touches real money, someone has to actually read that code.
Who's reading yours? lol
Ever since there ChatGPT/Codex resets started I feel like I burn through my 200$ plan usage so fast...
Anyone experiencing the same?
Would love to connect with people who are:
- indie hackers
- software engineers
- game devs
- DevOps folks
Let's connect!
So much potential in indie hackers building their own projects and sharing their progress.
These are the people I want to connect with.
Building a one-person business means getting better at:
- coding
- design
- marketing
- sharing your progress
- connecting with other builders
I post a connect thread every day and I keep the rules simple. Each one lists 3 or 4 types of people, and I rotate them so no two posts look the same.
I just say who I'd like to meet, like indie hackers, game devs, devops folks and mobile devs, and I leave the follow ask out.
Over the past few days every one of them did well.
I'm a solo founder
Used to build other people's dreams as a freelancer
Now building my own projects and connecting with fellow indie hackers
