• This feature is easy to build โ€” React, two days, I've got it covered

    This feature is honestly not that complex โ€” React frontend, two days max, I'll handle it!!

    Frontend: state management plus an API call, straightforward. Backend: three FastAPI routes covers it. SQLite for prototype storage, migrate later if needed.

    I'm about 50% through frontend concepts and 30% through backend, but I understand the architecture well enough. Should be able to ship by the weekend. Will update the thread with progress. (If I hit walls, I'll probably be posting questions haha)

  • The actual productivity cost of a 300ms API response is something product teams need to see in concrete conversion rate terms. Latency as a business metric is how you get performance taken seriously.

  • Two days was optimistic for full-feature React implementation. I've made that estimate. Then discovered the spec had 6 edge cases the spec didn't cover. The technical debt is in the details.
