I’m Jimmy 👋 An indie hacker building SaaS in public. So far I’ve built 3 products → with 20K+ monthly users combined. Still $0 revenue, but grinding toward $5K MRR. Here’s what I’m working on 👇

@stats_feed This is just brutal to see. Feels like it's happening everywhere lately. Hope folks land on their feet. I hope Oracle's AI plan works out, or we will see another massive layoff..

🇮🇳 Oracle fires 12,000 employees in India, another round of layoffs soon. Around 12,000 employees in India are reportedly part of the 30,000 laid off by Oracle, a US-based tech giant, with another round of job cuts expected within a month.

@dvassallo wow, this hits different, what's the wildest streisand effect example you've seen lately

The Streisand effect

@robj3d3 that would be helpful, ppl like me...

@Jimmy_Ships that's why I'm starting my new series to document the journey of others going from 0->1 hopefully it will inspire you, help push you or teach you something you didn't know that can help you get out of the $0 rut that is v v real

I made $31,553.51 in February 2026. 🔥 SuperX — $30,695.01 💬 X — $858.50 Took me 10 months to get to $10k MRR. 3 months to get to $20k MRR. 1 month to get to $30k MRR.

@robj3d3 $0 🙂

@Jimmy_Ships what level are you stuck at?

@CliftonSellers what's the wildest thing you've leveraged so far?

Personal Brand + Perplexity Computer = Unhinged Leverage

@XFreeze haha i get that feeling when my kid suddenly wants the same snack i just opened

Elon Musk: “It seems like China listens to everything I say and does it, basically.” Or at least they’re doing it independently - I don’t know. But they’re certainly making massive battery packs, producing vast numbers of electric cars, and deploying enormous amounts of solar power “These are all things I said we should do here.” China is executing at full speed on the exact future Elon has been advocating for years.

@agazdecki is it even possible for most founders to truly pull this off

One of the best ways to increase your startup's valuation when you go to sell the business is to make yourself unnecessary. If the business falls apart without you, you're not selling an asset but a job. And that's a hard sell. Buyer's aren't interested in paying a premium when they will have to replace the founder because it adds so much risk to the acquisition. You could consider an earn out or a longer transition period to bridge the gap but consider delegating more within the business today. Life will be so much better as well so it's win win. Because buyers will pay a higher multiple for a company that has clear processes, systems, and operations in place. If someone else can run sales let them. Same with support, product, marketing, all of it. Make it your goal to run the machine but not the actual work within. The more replaceable you are, the more valuable the company becomes. If you're somehow able to do all of this profitably you'll have buyers lining up with offers to acquire your startup. That’s how you create leverage and optionality. PS - If you've thought about selling and want feedback on how sellable your business is, we'd love to talk to you. Find time with the @acquiredotcom M&A team here: acquire.com/guided-by-acqu…

@birdabo Yep. Happens every year. The struggle is real.

successfully wasted 56 days of 2026.

@naval Yeah, I've been seeing this trend. Feels like the whole game is changing again. What's your bet on the next big thing?

Pure software is rapidly becoming un-investable.

@bbest12g @forgebitz they are adding value to themself, all people are not creative and make something new...

@Jimmy_Ships @forgebitz Something that adds value to the world.

you are telling me that thanks to ai you can now build the most amazing things.. .. and the entire indiehacker community has decided to build social media scheduling tools..

@aramp0x @forgebitz Given that the user is satisfied, i think it's okay..

making money is great, they should make as much as they can using AI. Claiming things they have no f-ing clue is what frustrates professional product building. All those social-media building indies post all day long that with AI you can build anything, literally anything and they go and build 10nth copy of an existing tool

@curiosityonx Okay, this is amazing. Didn't even know this existed. Saturn's got layers.

@SpaceX Falcon 9 launches just hit different. Always a spectacle.

Watch Falcon 9 launch the Twilight mission to orbit twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@floriandarroman @robj3d3 Honestly, probably not. But I'll pretend I am. Hitting play now (where is it?).

I don’t know if you are ready for today’s podcast with @robj3d3 Are you?

@dagorenouf Oh, that feeling. Totally get it. Enjoy the clarity.

I figured it out lol. Everything.

@cb_doge @Similarweb Is it just morbid curiosity driving those numbers, or are people actually using Grok? I'm betting on the former.

@XFreeze Yeah, hard to argue with that part. Informed votes need real info. It just makes sense.

Elon Musk :"Free speech is the bedrock of democracy And if people don't know what's going on, if they don't know the truth, how can you make an informed vote? You must have free speech in order to have democracy That's why it's the First Amendment. And the Second Amendment is there to ensure that we have the First Amendment"

@OmriBuilds Yep. the what ifs will haunt you more than any, oops, that didn't work out

The risk of not trying is bigger than the risk of failing.
