If you’re a coder, you’re sitting on a ₹1L/month opportunity right now. Not hype. I’ve seen it play out. I’ve spent the last 8 years building #SaaS across B2B, B2C, even B2G. Shipped products, worked with real customers, made money, lost money, repeated. After enough failures, I finally cracked a simple framework: how to build products that actually make money while you sleep. Most devs miss this, even in the #AI era. I’m here to share: what works, what doesn’t, and how to build something that sells. Still new to Twitter, still figuring content out. But the lessons? Already paid for.

here's how I solved the product planning problem forever → honest question: is that roadmap a plan, or just a wishlist with a deadline on it? it helps me visualize things better, but it comes free with a constant dilemma of sticking to it or refining. week 4: a customer needed something not on it. week 6: money got tight. week 8: the roadmap was literally wallpaper. Solution-> 1. I keep going back to the bigger picture. where are we? and where do we want to go? 2. I have learned to prioritize customers' needs over my excitement for new features. 3. I no longer over-engineer features so they become never-ending. I plan MVP at the feature level. still not perfect, but at least my roadmap isn't wallpaper anymore 🤓

@onlywhatsneeded I ordered this whey protein, I had very high hopes. But, unfortunately the taste is too bad. It’s excessively sweet, it’s not consumable. Hopes plus money got wasted 😑

Some of you have been telling us our 1kg Cocoa Whey packs were arriving torn at the bottom. We looked into it, and realised the issue wasn't just shipping. It was the pack design. So we redesigned it. The 1kg Cocoa Whey is moving from a round-bottom pouch to a flat-bottom one. Flat bottoms sit upright on conveyor belts, stack better in boxes, and put pressure on a stable base instead of on the seam. Before locking it in, we ran the new pack through a drop test and a tear test. Both cleared. This is because we don't just test what's inside the pack. We test what carries it too. The new pack is more expensive for us to make. That's a trade-off we're happy to make if it means your pack arrives the way it should. Starting mid May, your 1kg Cocoa Whey will arrive in the new flat-bottom pack. Until then, you may still receive the older round-bottom pouch as we work through existing stock. What's another thing you've noticed about an OWN product that you'd want us to relook at?

@riteshagar hotels need ID verification, and we are building the best solution for that. need your support to make travel safer than ever.

When I started out, I had no one to tell me what not to do. I just had to figure it out the hard way. And I did, but it cost me time, money, and a lot of stress that I could have avoided. That is why I make these videos. I look at the people who follow me, and I see myself at that age. I just want to give them something useful. Something real. Not theory. Not motivation. Just honest advice from someone who has been through it. Longer version on my channel if you want the full picture. If you are young and you are trying to build something, I want you to know that is exactly who I make these videos for. I have been through the early mistakes. I have taken the wrong turns. And I just do not want you to have to go through the same things if you do not have to.

most successful people I know are only focused on 3 things right now: 1. health & longevity 2. personal brand 3. business in that order. the sequence is the strategy.

I grew retention 18% without building a single new feature. We had people booking demo calls but never converting to signups. Fixed the onboarding flow. That's it. Here's how you can do the same: 1. Stop asking what to build next: Ask where you're losing people silently. 2. Audit before you add: Spend 2 hours in your own onboarding as a first-time user. You'll find it. 3. Boring compounds. Shiny stalls: That backlog feature will wait. Lost retention won't come back. Fix the quiet thing first. Always.

@rumilyrics what mental health?

One habit that massively improved your mental health?

@rumilyrics returning to myself.

@theandreilucian talent is a spark. consistency is the oxygen. one without the other just fades. 🪞

Success isn't about being the best. It's about being consistent. The best creators aren't the most talented. They're the most consistent. Consistency beats talent. Show up daily.

@SahilBloom fun is just curiosity that found a home. 🪞

Life advice nobody told you: Having fun is the ultimate long-term competitive advantage. You can never bet against the person who just seems to have fun doing the work. When you’re having fun, you’re more likely to give your full attention and energy to something. You’re more likely to do it for a long time. You’re more likely to be willing to do the boring basics that most people skip. Lean into the things that feel fun. It’s the clearest edge you can find.

@Markmanson the tragedy isn't the lost time. it's that we knew. we always knew.

Procrastination promises relief but delivers regret. Action avoids regret and delivers relief.

nobody tells you that founding a company means becoming really good at pretending you're okay 😿

the loneliest moment in startups isn't when things fail. it's when things are going okay and you still feel empty 🤌

nobody talks about this enough: the quality of your decisions on a Tuesday afternoon is not the same as Monday morning. same founder. same problem. completely different output. I shipped a half-baked feature once because I was too burnt out to think clearly. spent 3 weeks fixing what 2 hours of rest would have prevented. mental state is not a soft skill. it is literally a product variable. 🧠 how are you actually tracking yours?

the best technical founders I know write the least code.

10 years of engineering and the hardest lesson was the simplest one: nobody pays you for clean code. they pay you for a problem that no longer exists. I used to treat the codebase like the product. optimized it, refactored it, was proud of it. meanwhile the actual business was waiting. the shift happened when I started asking one question before touching anything: does this move the needle for the user, or just for me? most of the time it was just for me. 😅 that's the founder trap nobody warns you about early enough. what's one thing you kept building that nobody actually asked for?

I once spent two weeks perfecting an auth flow nobody asked for. users were waiting. I was refactoring. that's the trap. we mistake progress on the craft for progress on the business. the product isn't the code. it's the thing someone pays for, tells a friend about, comes back to tomorrow. code is just raw material. 🧱 what are you over-engineering right now that nobody actually asked for? 👇

vibe-coding is 80% waiting for the agent to finish. and most of that time? Twitter. Slack. somehow an article about sourdough. 10 minutes later: oh right, the vibe 😂 that context switch is where it all falls apart. you forget what you were building toward, what edge case to watch, what "working" even looks like. the wait isn't downtime. it's your review window. what does this output connect to? what breaks if it's slightly off? stay in it. what do you actually do between prompts? 👇

why do some people ship in 40 mins and others burn 3 hours prompting the same thing? it's not the model. it's not the tool. it's the plan you hand it. a vague prompt is just a vague thought with extra steps. the agent reflects your clarity back at you, nothing more.

bad prompt → 3 hours of spaghetti code. one tight plan → 40 mins to shipped. 🎯the agent executes exactly what you give it. no more, no less. so the bottleneck was never the AI. it was always the clarity of your thinking. how structured is your planning before you hit the first prompt
