Everyone is learning JS/React
Everyone is learning AI tools.
Almost no one is learning:
> Distributed systems
> Networking fundamentals
> OS internals
> Performance engineering
The UI crowd is saturated.
The systems crowd is rare.
@iyekefejiymg It’s a double edged sword to be honest. It also keeps you laser focused on things.
There’s so much you can achieve alone if you put full energy into it.
What the fuck are you afraid of?
Death? We’re all gonna die.
Bankruptcy? You can make it all back.
Shame? Everyone will forget in a week.
There is nothing to fear.
Most people quit too early.
Not because they’re not talented.
Not because the idea is bad.
But because nothing happens… at first.
0 users.
0 revenue.
0 validation.
Just you… and doubt.
But here’s the truth:
The first phase is always invisible.
You’re building skills.
You’re learning patterns.
You’re getting 1% better every day.
Then suddenly…
something clicks.
1 user → 10 → 100 → 1,000
1 video → viral
1 app → life-changing
People will call it “luck”.
But they didn’t see the boring days.
So if you're in the quiet phase right now:
Keep shipping.
Keep posting.
Keep building.
Because momentum doesn’t announce itself.
It just shows up one day.
And changes everything 💪
Mixed feelings working in Japan,
Spending there feels great and usually services are worth the money 😂
Although on average the salaries is lower than most developed countries,
stopped managing my own distribution.
handed it off to a team of agents.
they scout Reddit, schedule tweets, find reply opportunities, monitor trends. all 24/7.
I check in once a day, approve what I want, then get back to building.
this is how you ship multiple products as a solo founder.
My vibe-coded app just hit $1,000 in a single day.
Three months ago, I didn't know how to build an iOS app.
I still barely do.
People joke about vibe coding, saying that it writes slop code (as if junior-mid code is any better). Many people miss the point that some actually take it seriously and achieve pretty nice results.
I didn't have technical skills, but I always wanted to build things.
Not some random Notion templates as I did before (and still reached $30k/month xD), but real functional products written in code. Vibe coding literally gave me a cheat code that I can use in real life. I can turn all my ideas into functional products and make money from them.
It literally changed my life and now I can't stop.
For some AI is here to take their jobs, for some it's life changing opportunity and massive leverage.
@AbhiCodes15 None of it. Not everyone can code that much or having deep knowledge of algorithm or system.
Got hired by ITSM and Cloud infra related each once. B2B IT service still have lots of room to grow.
@StevenCravotta So true …it’s life and death depending on how we marketing the app.
I’m thinking of the best way for SaaS is to create a waitlist page first
and start marketing on day one.
The app space is saturated is a complete myth.
95% of apps have no idea about distribution.
The barrier to entry to BUILD apps has gone down to zero.
But the barrier to MARKET apps is still high.
If you know how to create viral TikToks, you can dominate.
The building part is solved.
The marketing part is wide open.
