Do you keep your code together in a monorepo?
I think every indiehacker/solobuilder should keep code together. Your AI agents will thank you for it and you will accelerate.
My agents learn from my other projects, ideas are constantly shared, and things just get done so much faster.

Good morning folks! 🙌🏻
Yesterday was a tough day. Came home exhausted. But still had to stick to the routine:
• 1 hour of marketing
• 1 -2 hours of building
Grit is what gets us to success.
Have a great day ya'll! Stick to your routines.

How do you deploy code to prod?
1) Local machine directly
2) Via a pipeline like GitHub Actions
I used to deploy locally, but now my agents push code to remote repos, then run and monitor pipelines. Much less hassle when switching macs and far more secure.
How do you handle it?

LimeGhost now also has an MCP 😍
How I build MCPs with agents:
1. Prompt agent to create an MD file of project architecture
2. Ask GPT or Claude online to research MCP best practices
3. Dev agent creates technical spec
4. Agent implements spec
0 errors. Works flawlessly.

I have a new favourite skill for my AI 💡
I got annoyed that my agent was answering in the terminal with long answers.
I created a skill: any time it has a long answer, put it in an "inbox" markdown file
Then I use a nice markdown viewer + ☕️ to read it. So much nicer than terminal!

Building after a full-time job is brutal. Why spend 1.5–3 hours every day grinding after hours?
Because pouring all your creative energy into just a day job gets draining. Building something you truly own fuels creativity and growth.

Is AI taking everyone's job? Not quite.
About 78% of US job cuts in 2026 had nothing to do with AI—most was standard cost-cutting and post-COVID overhiring. Meanwhile, LinkedIn tracked 1.3M new AI-related roles.
Tech shifts destroy tasks, not work. What new roles are you seeing emerge?

Which database do you use for your projects?
If you're an indiehacker thinking what DB to go for: do not pick NoSQL like DynamoDB. It's inflexible if you need to sort or filter data. If you don't know how your data will be used yet, your safe bet is Postgres.

• If you wrote in natural language instead of code, how would you feel?
Answers quickly show if someone has an AI mindset.
