I'm stuck in corporate life and surrounded by clowns. No escape plan in sight. Just kidding — I'm building mine in plain sight 🤡 . After 25 years of fake smiles & pointless meetings, I'm creating a trend-powered tool to help creators grow their brand & never need a boss.

After hours of debugging blank screens, port mismatches, and session checks. DASHBOARD WORKS!.Sometimes in dev, you just need to strip everything back to basics. One simple manual edit in Notepad did what hours of complex debugging couldn't.Never underestimate <h1>IT

Building TrendCraft MVP with Claude Code has been a ride today 😅.✅ Onboarding improved.✅ Adaptive dashboards split (creators vs pros).But then. 💥 Claude hit its limits.💥 Port 3000/3001 beef.💥 Blank Next.js screen mocking me. Dashboard is still MIA. Try again tomorrow.

Gave 25 years. Skipped family dinners. Met every deadline like it was life or death. Now the new boss treats me like I’m disposable. And still calls at 7:30pm for an 8am meeting. NEVER AGAIN!!.This is why I’m building my exit. #RedQueenMoves.

Building TrendCraft MVP with Claude Code 🚀Progress:. Enhanced onboarding ✅ .Adaptive dashboards for creators vs professionals ✅. Reality: Hitting Claude limits fast with Opus. Wrestling with blank screens & port mismatches between 3000/3001 🤯. Next.js + authentication =.

25 years in corporate taught me how to work. But not how to work for myself. Climbing ladders ≠ building systems.Meetings ≠ momentum.Job titles ≠ proof of value. The skills you need to escape. are different. What are those skills?. #RedQueenMoves #buildinpublic.

Building in public = debugging in public . Current status:.✨ API magic: Actually working.🎨 Adaptive UI: Coming together.🐛 Weird bugs: Of course.☕ Coffee intake: Borderline criminal. MVP = "Many Volatile Problems" 🚀.

Bosses be like:.“Your work made us millions. But why did you use blue in the slide?”. I used to take it personally. Now I realize: it says more about their need for control than my work. That’s why I’m quietly building my way out. #CorporateHell.

Corporate love story:.CEO: “We’re like family here.”.Also CEO: gaslights, underpays, and steals your weekends. Just another day in #CorporateHell 💼💔

Don’t you love it when your boss makes a decision….Then asks, “What do you think?”. Am I supposed to say it stinks?.Will he reverse it if I disagree?. Smile and wave, boys. Just smile and wave. 🐧. This is why you build a personal brand. So one day, you don’t need to pretend you.

Corporate hell is real. Vibe coding your way out is the new dream. Stack your skills, build your moat. And never beg for your boss’s blessing to take a day off again!.

Reminder to self: You don’t have time. 25 years in corporate showed me how fast life slips by. Build like this is your second (and last) chance.

Soham-Gate: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐝. The internet is memeing about one engineer "being Microsoft's entire layoff," but Soham Parekh's multi-startup scam is a $1M+ lesson in how we lost sight of what matters. Here's the uncomfortable.

90% of corporate life is just corporate politics. Working overtime to prove you didn’t get the right brief, justify decisions you didn’t make, or fix problems you didn’t create. I can’t wait to flip this around. #EndCorporatePolitics.

My Bobby Bonilla challenge:. I'm giving myself 12 months to build my first "anti-hustle asset".Something that generates income while I sleep. Who's building theirs, too?.

What I'm learning to ask myself:. Instead of "How can I work more?" .→ "How can I build something that works without me?". Instead of "How do I get paid more?".→ "How do I get paid repeatedly?". The shift is everything.

The mindset shift I'm making:. ❌ "I need to work more hours" .✅ "I need to build better systems". ❌ "Grind harder for bigger paychecks".✅ "Create assets that pay me repeatedly". ❌ "Trade time for money forever" .✅ "Build once, collect forever".
