Exodus | Creative PM
Ships games, developer tools, and AI experiments—then writes down what worked.
Exodus | Christ Believer | Full-Stack Software dev | Technical Product Manager | Founder | Building User-Centric SaaS Products
Exodus uses the channel as a working notebook for software projects, developer resources, and practical lessons. The feed moves from web-development roadmaps to launches such as DeepSeek Copilot and ShadCN Remover, with plenty of notes on teamwork, consistency, and learning by building.
Exodus mixes practical web-development guidance with hands-on shipping, open-source releases, and occasional self-imposed constraints. The pattern is clear: pick a path, build a usable thing, share the result, then keep improving it in public.

Roadmaps to Real Releases
The channel began with programming resources, web-development paths, and reflections on the highs and lows of becoming a programmer. Then the first products appeared: Whack-a-Mole went live, followed by an open-source VS Code extension and ShadCN Remover.

In their own words.
Why not build a tool for that? — and shadcn-remover CLI was born.
Instead of relying on GPT or Copilot, we'll focus on using official documentation and Stack Overflow.
Fresh from the channel.
the gap between “something was announced” and “everyone has to react to it” is getting ridiculously short! Nowadays

This is something I’ve been telling myself this week…
honestly what we’re doing right now is not enough for where we want to go. We have to work fucking hard, and at this point I don’t even know what “working hard” means anymore. I just know we have to do more than what we’re doing right now....
