0:00The bio writes itselfPat's bio says 'full-stack ninja' and 'building the future.' The blog field is empty. 46 public repos, 12 followers.
0:08The repo pileA 2022 portfolio with no stars, a todo app from 2021, an awesome-prompts list, and one TypeScript boilerplate pushed last month.
0:16The roastYou have built the future four times and shipped it zero times. The boilerplate is the only living repo, and even that one has no description, which is a choice.
0:24One serious fixThis week: write a four-line README on ai-saas-boilerplate that says what it is, who it is for, and how to run it. Pin that. Archive the todo app.

0:00The old READMEA welcome, a Slack shrug, and scripts named dev, test, and check. No .env.example in the paste.
0:08The rewriteInstall, copy env, run dev, run test. DATABASE_URL is named because the paste named it.
0:16The holeNot in the README: which database, and the contents of .env.example. The doctor does not invent Postgres.
0:24The proofThe command to prove it is npm test, because that script exists. Slack is not a setup step.
