you’re kind of um Outsourcing all of that so anyways of um Outsourcing all of that so anyways of um Outsourcing all of that so anyways I have run into a ton of trouble it I have run into a ton of trouble it I have run into a ton of trouble it has been pain to get this thing working has been pain to get this thing working has been pain to get this thing working um um um there part of the problem I think is there part of the problem I think is there part of the problem I think is nextjs the I find the error errors that nextjs the I find the error errors that nextjs the I find the error errors that you if if you do anything wrong in XJ you if if you do anything wrong in XJ you if if you do anything wrong in XJ you get these crazy obscure ears and you get these crazy obscure ears and you get these crazy obscure ears and you’re pulling your hair out for hours you’re pulling your hair out for hours you’re pulling your hair out for hours and you have no idea what’s going on and you have no idea what’s going on and you have no idea what’s going on even even chat GPT and Claude and all even even chat GPT and Claude and all even even chat GPT and Claude and all that could not figure out what was going that could not figure out what was going that could not figure out what was going on and my problem with nextjs is it they on and my problem with nextjs is it they on and my problem with nextjs is it they thrash so much with like different thrash so much with like different thrash so much with like different versions and different ways of doing versions and different ways of doing versions and different ways of doing things you know back before you look at things you know back before you look at things you know back before you look at the documentation you’re like wait a the documentation you’re like wait a the documentation you’re like wait a minute what am I looking at minute what am I looking at minute what am I looking at documentation for which version I mean documentation for which version I mean documentation for which version I mean it’s just I I don’t know I’m just not it’s just I I don’t know I’m just not it’s just I I don’t know I’m just not I’m not a huge fan of mixs I think it I’m not a huge fan of mixs I think it I’m not a huge fan of mixs I think it moves too fast they break things moves too fast they break things moves too fast they break things documentation is a mess it’s better now documentation is a mess it’s better now documentation is a mess it’s better now but God it it’s been pain so now you but God it it’s been pain so now you but God it it’s been pain so now you have next JZ 15 which now they’ve have next JZ 15 which now they’ve have next JZ 15 which now they’ve changed it um which is the very latest changed it um which is the very latest changed it um which is the very latest version now everything’s done version now everything’s done version now everything’s done differently again so I don’t know I I differently again so I don’t know I I differently again so I don’t know I I don’t I am not a fan so I’ve spent hours don’t I am not a fan so I’ve spent hours don’t I am not a fan so I’ve spent hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours blocked um I had all these weird be blocked um I had all these weird be blocked um I had all these weird be build eror so locally on my computer build eror so locally on my computer build eror so locally on my computer everything was working I was like great everything was working I was like great everything was working I was like great looks good I’m ready to push this up to looks good I’m ready to push this up to looks good I’m ready to push this up to the server I got it up on the server and the server I got it up on the server and the server I got it up on the server and uh what the hell are all these errors uh what the hell are all these errors uh what the hell are all these errors why why aren’t I getting these errors why why aren’t I getting these errors why why aren’t I getting these errors locally and so I finally figured that locally and so I finally figured that locally and so I finally figured that out and hey okay it’s building and it’s out and hey okay it’s building and it’s out and hey okay it’s building and it’s on the server but where’s where’s the on the server but where’s where’s the on the server but where’s where’s the signin link where’s the dashboard why is signin link where’s the dashboard why is signin link where’s the dashboard why is clerk suddenly failing I don’t know so clerk suddenly failing I don’t know so clerk suddenly failing I don’t know so ah yeah it’s been pain um I’ve been ah yeah it’s been pain um I’ve been ah yeah it’s been pain um I’ve been wasted a lot of time on this which is wasted a lot of time on this which is wasted a lot of time on this which is frustrating I used clerk in in xjs frustrating I used clerk in in xjs frustrating I used clerk in in xjs because I thought it would be fast I because I thought it would be fast I because I thought it would be fast I thought I could just drop it in and go thought I could just drop it in and go thought I could just drop it in and go have a dashboard have off have have a dashboard have off have have a dashboard have off have everything be you know properly done and everything be you know properly done and everything be you know properly done and I’ve just I’ve wasted tons and tons of I’ve just I’ve wasted tons and tons of I’ve just I’ve wasted tons and tons of hours so I’m not very happy um you know hours so I’m not very happy um you know hours so I’m not very happy um you know I played around with something else I played around with something else I played around with something else called super tokens which is like a called super tokens which is like a called super tokens which is like a thing you host yourself you have all thing you host yourself you have all thing you host yourself you have all your data you’re you know it’s not going your data you’re you know it’s not going your data you’re you know it’s not going to cost anything if you get a bunch of to cost anything if you get a bunch of to cost anything if you get a bunch of users um I abandon that because that users um I abandon that because that users um I abandon that because that seemed complicated but I don’t know it seemed complicated but I don’t know it seemed complicated but I don’t know it seems just as complicated so I’m not not seems just as complicated so I’m not not seems just as complicated so I’m not not not loving it um I’m almost there but I not loving it um I’m almost there but I not loving it um I’m almost there but I just need to get this working so I can just need to get this working so I can just need to get this working so I can start building out the agents and making start building out the agents and making start building out the agents and making this thing useful so I’m pretty this thing useful so I’m pretty this thing useful so I’m pretty frustrated uh but it’s Christmas frustrated uh but it’s Christmas frustrated uh but it’s Christmas Eve family is coming over uh it’s
