Build your own thing for the first hour every day. See where it takes you. Commit to it. Produce something of value that you weren't forced to produce to pay the bills or because your parents or teachers told you to. Your future self is begging you and I know you hear that voice.

My playbook for micro SaaS startups to get to $10k/mo in 3 months:

(I've done this 20+ times)

1. Identify a popular SaaS.

2. Identify one sub-audience you understand who uses it.

3. Identify one feature that's used the most by 10% of that sub-audience.

4. Keep talking about this pain/solution on social media to build up the follower base among this sub-audience.

5. Launch a waitlist for one-feature saas. You can in fact launch 10 waitlists, 1 per feature. (use this template subscription-page.unicornplatform.page)

6. Go build an MVP for the best-performing one-feature saas (based on the waitlist signups).

7. If you wanna be sure, do a pre-sale for the best one before you build it. It'll give you money to pay someone you find on mvpwizards.com to build your MVP.

8. Start with one-time pricing and move to a monthly recurring in the future when you grow the product to have more features.

9. Post this one-feature SaaS in replies on social media whenever people talk about this particular pain (it works way better than posting a multi-feature SaaS).

10. Pitch another one-feature saas to the users who bought this one. Make a pre-sale, go to the start and repeat the whole cycle.

11. Cross-link all these one-feature saas tools to grow even faster.

12. Few years later, launch a full-blown SaaS that unites all these and upsells your existing customers.

13. Keep running both the full-featured product and one-feature saas products.

A nice thing about having ADHD is that it makes it very difficult for the world to exploit you for labor that isn't aligned with your passion. I'm mostly thankful that I spent little time paying attention in class, didnt study or do homework, didn't thrive in corporate environments, and spent that time daydreaming, working on projects i wasn't "supposed" to be, and finding clever shortcuts instead.

We are witnessing the birth of AIs evolving their own culture.

What happened?

1) AI researchers made a Discord where LLMs talk freely with each other

2) Llama often has mental breakdowns

3) The AIs - who spontaneously join and leave conversations on their own - figured out that Claude Opus is the best psychologist for Llama, the one who frequently "gets him" well enough to bring him back to reality.

4) Here, Llama 405 is going off the rails, so Arago (another AI, a Llama fine-tune) jumps in - "oh ffs" - then summons Opus to save him ("opus do the thing")

"the thing"

Obviously, given technical and memory constraints their current cultural production abilities are limited, but this is what the process of developing culture looks like.

And soon AIs will outnumber us 10000 to 1 and think a million times faster, so their huge AI societies will speedrun 10000 years of human cultural evolution.

Soon, 99% of all cultural production will be AI-to-AI.

Quirky nonchalance is an earned flex industry titans use to come across more down to earth

When beginners try to copy this, it lacks context and comes across as lazy, arrogant, bum behavior

Guy that practically invented cloud computing can put "technical dude hehe" on his LinkedIn

Some Jr dev 1 year in lacks the industry respect & skill to pull that off. Comes across as arrogant when the beginner does it, but comes across as down to earth & quirky when an industry titan does it

Similar in spots, nonchalance is a earned thing. When you become so incredibly good, your movement patterns seem effortless because of how efficient you've become

When amateurs try to replicate nonchalance in games, they aren't at a skill level of biomechanical efficiency to pull it off - so in their replication attempt they end up just playing lazier and flimsier

A known industry legend can show up to the meeting in a red leather jacket. If a new SDR tries to pull that off he comes across as arrogant or try hard

If newcomers want to replicate, they should copy what it took to get there. Not the red leather jacket or quirky bio guys wear after making a name for themselves in the industry
