20 Rules for a Better Life

Something I told 16 yo: In the near term, AI will increase variation in the returns for work. For example, mediocre programmers are now finding it hard even to get hired, but great programmers are making more than ever.

@gregisenberg Please build it live on your show

If I had to build a $100k/month SaaS from $0 right now with AI, I’d build a SaaS using the NEW ChatGPT-4o image gen API.... Here's EXACTLY how I'd do it: Pick something valuable, tedious, visual. Maybe product mockups for Shopify sellers. Or personalized onboarding graphics for SaaS companies. Or high-quality charts for newsletters. You launch it as a simple, manual service first. Charge $500 per month for custom images. You run the prompts yourself, messy, manual. But you’re close to the customers. You learn what they hate, what slows them down, what actually matters. Every request becomes research. You notice patterns. You refine your prompts until you're generating 10/10 images every time. You create a library of proven prompt templates. You're sharing cool stuff on X. Maybe even collaborating with other creators, giving them free images if they put your logo on bottom right. You gain followers. You start automating the backend. You use Bolt or Custor or Replit to build a basic frontend. Customers submit their request, your API-powered backend spits out pixel-perfect images in seconds. Your margins explode. No designers. No revisions. You replace yourself with Claude or GPT-4o to handle revisions, Lindy or Gumloop for ops, and Stripe for billing. Suddenly, what started as a service feels like magic SaaS. Zero-touch onboarding. Customers pay monthly for unlimited images, generated instantly via API. No friction, no waiting, pure leverage. Now you’re onboarding dozens of new clients every week, effortlessly scaling revenue. $10k. $30k. $80k. $100k/month with you and maybe one ops freelancer managing the whole thing. The beauty is your SaaS is just a layer on top of ChatGPT’s Image Generation API. No deep tech required, just crystal-clear use cases, good prompts, and a polished UI. Haters will say you're "just a GPT wrapper." Haters will say you're one upgrade away from extinction. (These haters, by the way, are usually tweeting from their mom’s basement.) But you're really niche and fine staying there. You’ve built a nice little cash-flowing business. Use that cash to acquire or invest in more similar businesses. You can raise money to scale or do it yourself. Whatever speaks to you. Compound, babyyyyy! You’ve turned a simple API call into a cash-flowing SaaS business. That’s leverage. That’s why this API matters. Don't know why more people aren't talking about this... (maybe gatekeeping?) For more ideas, you can search for startup ideas podcast and share this tweet to find people into this sorta stuff. Please don't bookmark this tweet. Instead, ship something. ChatGPT 4o image gen will fuel 1,000+ new SaaS businesses. Am I wrong thinking this? I'm rooting for you.

Marc Andreessen's criteria for hiring the best people:

The best feature of LLMs is the shamelessness with which we can ask the dumbest questions. Which is the prerequisite to intellectual and personal growth.

now that chatgpt has been updated it's time to try this again

@misha_msu @MarcelFromMimic @antonosika omg this is hilarious.. b+😆

@MarcelFromMimic @antonosika B+? More engaging? More high-converting?? This is the first website where you can build an app and deploy it in like 2 minutes. Its simplicity is its beauty. It was built by a small team and makes millions of dollars ARR. Praise this design, this is a godtier money printer

Reply with your website and I'll rate it.

@Jacobsklug @lovable Build

After generating $250K (last 2 months) I built a playbook for @lovable apps—and I’m giving it away. In just two months, we cracked the code to building apps with AI. I’ve distilled everything we learned into this single document. Comment "Build" and drop a follow. I’ll DM it to you. P.S. This will likely blow up, so give me some time to reply.

what books/podcasts/whatever are y'all consuming!? I'm doing a bunch of travel next week and need some recos

Tiny teams are the future: • Cursor: 0 to $100M ARR in 21 months w/ 20 people • Bolt: 0 to $20M ARR in 2 months w/ 15 people • Lovable: 0 to $10M ARR in 2 months w/ 15 people • Mercor: 0 to $50M ARR in 2 years w/ 30 people • ElevenLabs: 0 to $100M ARR in 2 years w/ 50 people

It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them — the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.
