Good read. What sparked this shift in thinking for you personally?
Thinking Differently
2 Comments
@[kennytm] Thanks for asking! It actually started with a very practical observation. I was looking at a lot of frontend developers' portfolios and noticed they rarely had admin panels. Managing their content manually was tedious simply because building a backend from scratch is a huge context switch if you're a frontend dev.
My first thought was: Why rebuild the backend every time? I wanted to build a template so they could get an admin panel without writing any backend code. That idea eventually evolved into a full Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS).
But as it grew, I started thinking about how to make it genuinely better. My own philosophy and spiritual ideas really kicked in here—the core belief that we should deeply care for the next person in the chain. It hit me that a developer's ultimate goal isn't just to write code; it’s to satisfy their customer.
An analogy sparked this exact philosophy for me:
Imagine two architects hired to design a new college campus. The first architect spends all their energy designing the perfect administrative block to directly impress the HODs, the Vice-Chancellor, and the Principal.
But the second architect was thinking differently. He was maintaining the balance, making sure to focus deeply on the students—building the best possible infrastructure for them with intuitive layouts, well-lit spaces, and seamless campus flow.
Because the ultimate goal of the institution is student success, the second architect's approach naturally elevates everyone. When the campus helps students thrive, the college succeeds, the leadership is incredibly happy, and that architect automatically wins their trust.
In our world, the developer is the college leadership, and the end-user is the student.
I realized that to truly serve the developer, our platform has to act like that second architect. By building infrastructure that handles the invisible friction—ensuring the final product is actually fast, reliable, and secure for the customer—the developer automatically succeeds.
That analogy changed my entire approach. Thinking Differently is not just a product name, it's a philosophy.
And it's the exact mindset driving the early beta we are building right now. If you're tired of fighting infrastructure and want to help shape a platform that puts the end-user first, I’d love to have you test it out.
Let's start thinking differently.
