How to Choose Your Backend Stack

1️⃣. Node.js (Express / NestJS)
Best For: Real-time apps (Chat, Gaming), I/O intensive tasks, CRUD apps, and MVP startups.
When to avoid: CPU-heavy tasks like video encoding or heavy data crunching.

2️⃣. Python (Django / FastAPI)
Best For: AI/ML integration, Data Science backends, and rapid development.
When to avoid: If you need the absolute lowest latency for high-frequency trading or real-time sockets.

3️⃣. Go (Gin / Echo)
Best For: Microservices, Cloud-native apps, and high-concurrency and performance systems.
When to avoid: Small, simple CRUD apps where development speed is more important than raw performance.

4️⃣. Java (Spring Boot)
Best For: Enterprise-level applications, Banking, and complex Distributed Systems.
When to avoid: Fast-moving startups or lightweight hobby projects.

We had a great meetup with @Nahom_Biruk. We discussed many valuable ideas and how we can achieve our goal of making $200k in 90 days.

I’ll be sharing my daily progress as I work toward my personal goal of $150k in 90 days. Stay Tuned.

My social media accounts

Instagram, TikTok, and X

I’ll be active on these platforms as well. My Instagram is mostly personal, where I share my interests and what I’m reading. I’ll let you know when I open a new account dedicated to posting, but for now I’ll be regularly active on X, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Started the day by shipping some features for the app

My first ever client was a dental clinic, and I made them this website. I also built a patient management system where they could track patient records and appointments.

But the funny part is that the staff weren’t used to using a web system, so they ended up missing a lot of appointments. And one day they called me thinking something was wrong with the system.

So I did something simple. I added all of them to a Telegram group and built a bot that sends appointment notifications to the group whenever a new appointment is scheduled. After that, it became much easier for them to track patients.

@codemaxing

I hate love songs 😭 They’re so cringe man. like a man singing for a woman and vice versa… how do people actually listen to Ed Sheeran 😂

That’s why I stick to real stuff reggae, dub, classic hip-hop.

In fact, one of my favorite albums is Distant Relatives by Nas & Damian Marley. Such a deep album fr, especially Sabali.

Spotify

Day 04

I was building the whole day and hit the gym.

I will share some things I learned on the way while building this
