This month marks my 3 year anniversary at my 9–5, and I've finally realized. I can’t do it anymore. I have been trying to build something on the side since 2023. I created an Amazon account. Failed, margins were razor thin. I built a Shopify store. Never launched it, burned out before publishing. The inventory is still sitting here in my home office. In December, I started on X with 0 followers. I had ideas, but no direction. I didn’t even know how to tweet properly. Fast fwd to Now: around 400 people are watching me figure things out in public. One SaaS is almost ready to launch. Two more ideas are ready to be worked on. Goal is simple, make any $$ online. Although, I haven’t made anything yet, but the real win is I believe in myself that this time it will all work out. One month ago, I had no direction. Now I’m building in public, showing my face, and interacting with others. I am not stopping anytime soon. So let’s keep it that way. Shoutout to @CodeWizard for inspiring me to write this 🧵.

@_annakulina That coffee i need just to open my eyes.

genuinely how it be feeling getting to the first coffee of the day☕️

@coryalthoff Hiring legal team, sales and technical. We going all in.

You just hit $1M ARR solo. Who is the first person you hire?

@marclou just simple and awesome.

my $1M/year startup office tour

@DanielSmidstrup Selling my time and also product.

There are 3 ways to make money: Level 1: Sell your time. Level 2: Sell your code. Level 3: Sell your product. Where are you today?

@icanvardar I am not sure what am I missing. Been using GPT since start.

gpt 5.6 was so good i deleted claude code

@kritio6k8 Gratz!

i just woke up and saw this 😭 we hit 200✨🎉 thank you very much everyone😭🙏

@cjzafir They be like how is work? as usual.

In a parallel universe, they're friends.

@LiviaKissDesign that is awesome. work become fun when you are doing what you actually love.

Working on Saturday and actually enjoying it… What a blessing 🩶

@Guronnimo Definitely firsk $1k mrr is harder to achieve but it scales fast

What's harder? • First customer • First $1k MRR

@devops_prashant That is peak discipline. Happy building!

I can’t decide if gym on a Friday night is peak discipline or peak loneliness 🔥🫠

@araseb_ That is what i am wondering as well.

What does Claude do better than ChatGPT?

@HorusOsiris123 I want to try

@chaosengineerr You shouldn't

I am a Codex user, Why should I switch to Claude code?

@babayagatwt I feel you. It hurts

@chaosengineerr Sadly Ai bill 😢

founders, what's higher right now? - Your AI bill? - or Your MRR?

@DanielSmidstrup Yep

@chaosengineerr Ya seems so 😅

Seeing slightly lower numbers in July. Then I remembered: normal people take breaks and vacations 😅

@realYousufKalim Everything is evolving

@chaosengineerr It’s not about which one is better, it’s about which one has edge right now. And it changes very often

@odanielschrage Not anytime soon

@chaosengineerr You don’t, next question. 😂

@VishuLIV That is true to some extent many people just don't want to try business and live a corporate life

@chaosengineerr the real ones outside tech just don't want the risk, can't blame them though most businesses fail in year one

If everyone is a founder, who's left to be the actual user?

@butmatthew17 I really want to try fable

@chaosengineerr Just for planning a project with Fable 5

@somebitcoin Haha great reason

@chaosengineerr Because it’s more expensive 🫪

@thisisnotfranck Human interaction

@chaosengineerr deep human relationship

Everyone has AI now. What's the new advantage?
