Honestly? I started this newsletter because I wanted a place to write about the weird edge cases we hit at 2am. Like that time Stripe webhooks were silently failing because of a 1-character typo in an env variable. Or why we switched from Prisma to Drizzle mid-project and didn't regret it.This is the newsletter I wish existed when I started building SaaS products.
I'll mostly write about backend stuff — auth flows that actually work, database decisions that save you headaches, and how we test payment integrations without losing real money. Also the occasional rant about documentation that lies to you.If you've ever rage-quit a Stripe integration, we'll get along.
