Supervised a project 2 week ago. Two programmers where hired to create an MVP. I have worked with both before.
- Alex from Germany. 100% code. 19 years experience.
- Hamid from Pakistan. Code + Copilot + GPT-4 + no-code. 4 years experience.
What do you think happened?

Closed a huge deal for a friend's company worth $300k. He promissed me 10% cut if I would help him out with the sales.
After the deal closed today, he say that he thinks 30k is to much and only wants to give me 3k.
I just lost a business friend. I can live without 30k but I

A customer subscribed couple of month's ago out of the blue ($800/mo). I ask if he needed help with onboarding or anything. Just got a "no"... but they are using the service lol

He had a talk with Alex about this. His response? "But it will be so much cheaper to run this app, and you'll have everything under control." Not understanding the opportunity costs of shipping 13 times slower and 25 times more expensive to develop.

Biggest SaaS trick I learned this year? Kill any plan under $30/mo.
Those users complain a lot, churn fast and leave negative reviews...

Sold a 2 year licence to a no-code saas for €15k
How the conversation went:
Client: We don't want to buy it for 15k, we only want it for 6 months and pay 5k
Me: We don't offer that. Its 15k for 2 years, paid upfront

I think people like Hamid will still have work five years from now, while people like Alex will have to find other jobs/professions. What do you think?

Alex finished around 7% of the tasks. Costs:

Estimated to developing everything: $45k. And expects $11k for adding tests.
Costs to host/run: $20/mo

This was a project I supervised for a friend of mine with an agency. I only did it because I was really curious about how it would turn out.
We both thought that Hamid would be finished in 8-10 weeks while Alex would take a week or two extra, but the results amazed us!

Hamid finished the first version in one week with 100% test coverage of code and end-to-end testing of no-code parts.
95% of the work seems to be finished and appears to work at first glance... 😲

Both programmers received Figma screens and detailed specs. A designer was available to assist them with the assets they needed, and there was also existing code that needed to be integrated.

I heard he is getting a offer to work fulltime at the company. He will train other programmers to work with no-code + ai + code.
And I am thinking of starting a agency to "Hamid" type of people.
No-code + AI + Code is a really powerful combination

Me: Create a prototype in 4 weeks in no-code, got $1.7k MRR, and generated $10k revenue in 3.5 months with a crappy UI

Mock Features for B2B SaaS
It's one of the techniques I've used in the last 10 years to sell $6M worth of software licenses. When you are selling $1k+/month software, there is a weird dynamic happening that doesn't occur with lower pricing.
Let me explain!

As a Muslim, I faced a lot of discrimination selling to local dutch governments. I had to work twice as hard to sell. The great thing about SAAS software is that people buy your product, software, and vision. People generally don't care about your religion.

Alex (Pure Coder) vs Hamid (Coder + No-Coder who uses AI)
Recently, I shared a project between two coders. One of the challenges they had to face was integrating existing code that is not always well-documented.

I was able to automate using GPT-4 ($48 per run) what a consultant asks $10.000,- to do
The customer said: "just found 1 small mistake, the rest is perfect"
$48 feels like a lot per task to spend on AI. But it 200x cheaper then doing it manually
