  • 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 like the video. Cool that ur going solo. I usually design before i start coding ever since i really commited to it once. It truly sets a good foundation for the app in my opinion!
    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.

    Can't tell if you're a better content creator or engineer, this was really fun to watch. 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

    You started coding when you're 12?? You're the people I saw and made me think 🤔 I can never get into Software because I'll never be able to catch up with you guys, which is true. But I finally decided I'd be okay with being a mediocre dev as long as I can get a Tesla 🎉

      Yes! I started with video games and then web after.
      But it doesn't mean I'm a good dev, I just LOVE coding and I always did. I just mean that I can code for hours and it doesn't feel like working.
