Being the only software engineer in the family means you're also the printer guy, the wifi guy and the "why is my phone so slow" guy. 7+ years of experience and my toughest client is still my khala. Who's the free tech support in your family? #TechLife

When I started freelancing I quoted low so clients would say yes. They did. They also asked for the most changes and paid the slowest. When I raised my price, the messages got shorter and the respect went up. Still can't fully explain it. Anyone else seen this? #Freelancing

My mom asked if AI will take my job. I said it already took the boring half. The repeat emails, the long documents nobody wants to read. What's left is the hard part: figuring out what people actually want. Has AI quietly taken any small chore off your plate? #AI

Stripe webhooks taught me this the hard way. They can arrive twice, or out of order. My "payment succeeded" handler once activated the same subscription twice. Now every webhook gets an idempotency check before anything touches the DB. What's your worst webhook story?
