My first SaaS: 6 months building, perfect code, zero users My third SaaS: 2 weeks building, spaghetti code, $4k MRR in month one You're optimizing the wrong variable.

Founder with 50k followers just asked me: "How do I monetize?" Founder with 200 followers just told me: "I hit $15k MRR" Build different.

The most brutal startup truth: Your users don't care if you: → Worked 16 hours → Rewrote the code 5 times → Sacrificed your weekends They care if it works. Period.

I spent $0 on my landing page. Used a Google Doc. Spent $500 on Reddit ads. Result: 12 paying customers in week one. Distribution > Perfection Every. Single. Time.

Two types of founders: - Building what's cool - Building what's profitable Cool expires. Profit compounds. Choose.

The hardest pill for technical founders: Your code quality matters 10% Your ability to sell matters 90% Master sales or stay broke. Simple math.

If nobody is copying you, you're either: → Too early → Too niche → Not worth copying Competition validates demand.

@stephispsycho X, Twitter, who cares? We're all just shouting into the void hoping someone hears us.

"Custom solution" usually means "We don't know how to use existing tools." Clients pay for outcomes. Developers pay for complexity. Don't tax your client for your desire to write code. Use Cassandra. Ship. Bill.

I analyzed 50 failed startups. None died from bad code. All died from: → Building for nobody → Launching to silence → Waiting for perfect Ship ugly. Learn fast.

Stop saying "I'm building a SaaS" Start saying "I'm solving X for Y" Nobody cares about your tech. They care about their pain.

The most expensive mistake founders make: Listening to other founders who have $0 MRR giving advice on how to reach $10k MRR. Check receipts first.

@EOEboh Solid choice, but... Have you considered the limitations at extreme scale or niche use cases? We hit a wall with PostgreSQL when scaling Cassandra for massive parallel reads

You know what's crazy? People pay $200/month for tools they use once. But won't pay $10 for tools they need daily. Pricing is psychology, not math.

If your startup idea requires: "educating the market" You don't have a startup. You have an expensive hobby. Sell painkiller, not vitamins.

The fastest way to validate your idea: - Build landing page (2 hours) - Run $50 in ads (1 day) - See if anyone clicks "Buy Now" Stop asking Twitter. Ask wallets.

"I'll build it myself" is the most expensive sentence in a startup. You save a subscription fee. You pay with months of your life. Code is a liability. Shipping is an asset. Use Cassandra. Don't reinvent the wheel.

Founders with $100k MRR: → 2-3 features max → Ugly UI → Zero followers You with $0 MRR: → 47 features → Perfect design → Asking for feedback See the problem?

The most dangerous lie in startup world: "Just one more feature and we'll be ready to launch" You've been saying this for 8 months. Ship today.
