This is exactly what I'm covering with my Semicolon&Sons screencasts.

Basically I've run a profitable production web app for 10 years (~14k LOC, 200k monthlies, revenue higher than any day-job I could get) as well as a few Android/IOS apps.

Now I'm creating videos where I show various real-world aspects of writing software in the context of my own production code - e.g.

- architecture

- rapid response systems to production errors

- dependency choices

- data integrity guarantees

- integration testing systems

- softer stuff, like optimizing for SEO and on-page conversion.

There's not enough non-beginner material out there and I hope to help fill that gap in resources.

They're all available here: https://www.semicolonandsons.com/series/Inside-The-Muse

I recently posted an AskHN about this exact thing.

Just want to say there is a huge vacuum for this sort of content, and I'd definitely pay for it!

When I enter my email and click the Get Episodes button, there's no indication that anything happened but a POST request is made. There should be some confirmation that the submission worked.

I'm particularly excited for the "rapid response systems to production errors" and "integration testing systems" parts!

I really like the videos, your content is very inspiring for a wannabe indie hacker, keep going! by the way, a piece of unsolicited advice, add some king alert for the subscription form, I added my email but after clicking it nothing happens.

Thanks for the advice -- will add that to the auld backlog.

I really like your series, especially your workflow tips and anecdotes. I could do without being interrupted mid-video to ask for my email, though.

Thanks for these screencasts. Very informative. You sound like you grew up in Rathgar or Rathmines.

Yes indeed. I lived for a spell in Rathmines, but mostly in Galway (so a hybrid G4 accent).
