Turning 29 today 🥳 - Built two SaaS products. - Became a first-time mom. - Bootstrapped every line of code. - Balanced baby milestones with user feedback. My biggest lesson? You can build slow, messy, beautiful things and still be on the right path. Here’s to a year of softness, strength, and showing up, as me. What’s one life lesson you learned this year?

At my adult job (building SaaS companies) I am working with AI more and more. It's frankly gotten to insane levels. It's actually disturbing. People are actually under hyping AI. The bubble is not near its top. This is why I think AI crypto will still EXPLODE. 1 runner here will send all Ai alts to 5-10x their current dumpster fire market caps from speculation.

@DavidSacks

1/ Let’s say you're a SaaS founder who’s looking to build a sales team for the first time. How do you structure quotas & compensation for the initial sales reps and their manager? Oftentimes, the biggest hurdle in hiring the first rep is not knowing how to incentivize them.

GREG ISENBERG

@gregisenberg

I don’t think we’ve fully priced in what it means that a SaaS can be copied in 24h with AI and what’s that’s going to do to the $500B+ SaaS market how it will play out: new saas software pops up left, right and center at lower prices and creator-led SMBs start to abandon their traditional saas providers choosing between AI clones at 1/10th the price or creators-led brands they trust (why pay $100/month when a copy costs $10?) enterprise stays with current vendors - they're buying stability, not features but even they demand 50% discounts when 100 competitors exist 10000+ new AI-first companies split $100B in SMB revenue top SaaS companies keep enterprise but at lower margins everybody pays less, market gets repriced and TAM expands winners become indie hackers, bootstrapped founders and incumbents who move fast and break things losers become complacent incumbent saas companies the great SaaS repricing is coming

Treat your career like a Venture Capitalist. Build a portfolio of revenue streams, knowing one will hit big. 1. Courses 2. Coaching 3. Micro-SaaS 4. Subscriptions 5. Paid community 6. Consulting & advising 7. Newsletter/podcast sponsors Diversified solopreneurship.

Tyler Tringas

@tylertringas

I can't over-emphasize this enough for folks at the earliest stage of building your SaaS. Put the application on a subdomain like app.your-product[dot]com and have your main .com be an easy to use CMS marketing site like Wordpress or Webflow. So annoying to unwind after the fact.

Building a SaaS is cheaper than ever. Next.js: $0. Supabase: $0 Resend: $0 (up to 3k emails/month). Polar: $0 (4.5% fee). Figma: $0. Domain: $7. Vercel: $0 (hobby projects). Notion: $0 (personal use). Zapier: $0 (100 tasks/month). Calendly: $0 (basic booking). For $7 and a few hours a day, You’re one step away from building something big. Just start.

I was told I’d never make it 2014 – I graduated with a business degree and moved to London to learn English. 2015 – I left the idea of an office job, traveled the world, and grew an Instagram account to 20k followers. 2019 – I moved to Australia and became a scuba instructor. 2020 – I learned to code in a bootcamp to build a diving app. 2021 – I worked as a full-stack developer, but corporate life and bad mentorship pushed me away from tech. 2023 – I quit, moved to Thailand, and started building my app, learning more in months than years at companies. 2024 – I launched my first SaaS and began building in public on X. 2025 – I made my first online dollar, built 3 micro-SaaS, traveled Asia, and quit my job as a scuba instructor in Palau to fully focus on my SaaS. Not the typical tech path but the one that finally feels right.

saudi vision 2030 is actually insane. just spoke to a 28 yo who runs advisory for saudi family offices. they’re pouring billions into anything that fits the vision: edtech with zero traction? $10m ai b2b saas for car dealerships in riyadh? $50m recycling startup with just a pitch deck in jeddah? $25m insane money is there. almost no real startups. literally the easiest market on earth to raise and build a unicorn n​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ow.

@cyrilXBT

this is f**king insane Jack Dorsey just open-sourced the operating system for the one-person business. A free GitHub repo. 14.4K stars in days. Here's what it actually does: → Self-host your own server → Channels, search, git, automation — all in one place → Add an AI agent to a channel like a teammate → Scope its permissions, let your team steer it live No SaaS subscriptions. No vendor lock-in. No $500/month tools you barely use. Just you, your agent, and full control. This is what the future of solo operations looks like. Save this before it blows up.

Deedy

@deedydas

It’s all fun and games to vibecode a clone of a an enterprise software tool for <$500.. until you actually have to make it enterprise-grade. Great software for large enterprises hides a lot of complexity from users. Whether it’s maintaining SSO, upgrading security / deps, RBAC, a wide gamut of config-gated features, API access, scaling, release management, integrations with changing APIs - there’s a long tail of important but boring work to really make even simple apps work well in businesses. And it usually doesn’t make sense for an Engg team to pay that recurring maintainence cost. Companies continue to use SaaS tools like Linear, Notion, Slack, GitHub, Google Workspace, Figma, Salesforce, Workday, Glean and more. There’s a category of tooling this makes a lot of sense for: bespoke internal tools, dashboards and one-time / few-time use tools. A founder I know famously told me “I vibecoded my own data room tool and the folks I worked with actually really liked it” or “we vibecoded a better version of my Retool customer support UI” But for most other ones, it usually doesn’t make sense. One might argue that vibe coding ultimately reduces the cost to building competitors to such tools, and that there’s some ensuing price compression. While there might be some truth to that, a version of Amdahl’s Law still applies here. When software ceases to be the bottleneck, it becomes sales and marketing to compete. How many companies have moved off Slack since vibe coding? How many Slack competitors have even come up since 2022? Not many! I imagine in the future, there will be a lot of cheaper less full-featured open-source alternatives for startups that will eventually try to compete. Hell, maybe models get so good that they pre-empt the need for all these features and one shot it perfectly out of the gate with a background loop that maintains it. Until then, “we’ll just vibecode it” can be a trap.

a 19 year old founder in singapore was telling me how he burnt 3 months chasing a $250/mo saas deal. meanwhile in SF a $120k contract closes in hours if u find the person who can actually write the check. southeast asia has too few willing and able payers

Andres

@WiFiMoneyGuy

So indie hackers are freaking out because people are replacing their tools with vibe coded versions. Well, let me address this. Most of the tools that these guys are building have no moat. They were micro-SaaS at best. And fairly so, the ability for someone somewhat savvy to vibe code a micro SaaS that wraps around APIs is simple. But then there's people who build true software. Where you have to read research papers, playing around with different statistical concepts, mitigate huge distribute systems problems. These guys aren't going anywhere. In fact, AI is accelerating and solidifying their moat. I play in this field and most people just can't because if i am frank, they aren't smart enough. But here's what anyone can do. You have to start thinking like an ecom brand. That means you can make consumer apps for people who are never going to have a technical edge. And then you adopt marketing and solid understand of unique economics to win on brand. You're effectively an e-commerce business and not a tech company. And look, you're NEVER going to have the competition that ecom has, even if you make apps. So your arbitrage window is much larger. Your edge will be building brand, unit economics and UX.

Sean Frank

@Seanfrank

The blueprint for a billion dollar partnership: Every business should have COFOUNDERS. Some people can do shit solo- aliens. But I have seen a clear playbook to make any business idea work, and it takes a minimum of two people. This works for agencies, brands, services, SAAS... One person does sales. They get money in the door. One person does the work. They deliver results. Thats it. Its better if the sales person knows how to do SOME work. And its good for the work guy to know how to talk on a sales call. @couuor does the work. I did the sales. I bring new opportunities. He makes them real. Yin and Yang twins.

A SINGLE DELL EMC POWEREDGE R740 CAN HELP RUN A BUSINESS THAT GENERATES $4,821 A WEEK Every website, SaaS platform, trading system, AI workflow or company dashboard ultimately depends on hardware like this. Inside the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740, dual Intel Xeon processors, large DDR4 memory capacity, high-speed PCIe expansion and enterprise-grade reliability work together to keep critical applications online 24/7 During POST, every fan ramps to maximum speed, the BIOS checks processors, memory, firmware and PCIe devices before the system is trusted with production workloads. The hot-swappable fan modules, tool-less chassis and modular risers are designed so maintenance takes minutes instead of hours For many companies, one machine like the PowerEdge R740 is the foundation supporting millions of API requests, virtual machines, databases and revenue every single month

You’ve paid for Harvest, Toggl, or Clockify. At some point the per-user fee stopped feeling like a tool cost and started feeling like a tax on having employees. There’s a self-hosted alternative that’s been quietly running since 2006, before “SaaS time tracker” was even a category. It’s called Kimai. Time tracking, project/customer management, and invoicing in one place, running on your own server, with no per-user fee and no “enterprise tier” gating the features you actually need. → One-click timers, multi-timer support, and punch-in/punch-out mode, so tracking time doesn’t slow down the work itself → Built-in invoicing with configurable templates, entry grouping, and export to PDF, DOCX, or HTML → Role-based permissions so team members can just log time while leads print invoices and admins manage users and customers → Authentication via SAML/LDAP/Database with optional 2FA (TOTP), useful if you’re plugging this into existing company infrastructure → Extensive JSON API for reading and writing data, so external tools can integrate directly → Fully responsive, 30+ languages, and Kimai 1 data import for anyone migrating off the old version Self-hosting is free under AGPL-3.0: you can use, modify, and self-host it for any purpose, including commercially, at no cost but if you distribute a modified version or run it as a network service, you have to release those changes under the same license. Running it yourself needs PHP 8.2+, MySQL/MariaDB, and a dedicated subdomain. Open source (AGPL-3.0). Self-host free.

HodlReaper

@HodlReaper

137 AI workflows run on one home server and kill the entire SaaS bill. Seven departments. Zero monthly seats. Sales. Deals. Marketing. Operations. Intelligence. Customer. Back office. Every node is a live agent. Click it. The skill runs locally. No OpenAI invoice. No $60 - 80k SDR. No $2 - 4k agency retainer. The company brain sits in the center - a local knowledge base every agent reads and writes to. Context compounds. Nothing starts from zero. No cloud tax. Each job ships a real skill file with build order and autonomy grade: human-led, human-assisted, fully autonomous. You hand off exactly what the ladder allows. The server stays on. The map stays live. The subscriptions stay dead.
