It’s never too late to start building.

Ship fast vs Ship perfect

5 yo learned about credit cards today and made a Visa card with $1B balance 😂

F*ck originality. If I find a great UX from another app, I will shamelessly steal it if it improves my customers' experience.

Running a startup is basically alternating between “it’s so over” and “we are so back”. There is no in-between.

B2C is brutal. I’ve been super stressed with the pricing model for BoltAI v2. Even at $5/mo, many aren’t willing to pay, doesn’t matter if the product is good or not. 1/

This is what freedom looks like to me. Have a great weekend everyone 🥰

Was teaching my 5 yo son. - Me: Money is important but it’s not the most important - 5yo: I know - Me, surprised: What do you mean? - 5yo: Diamond is more important

2 years ago, I was struggling with KTool trying to hit ramen profitability. 6 months later, I reached that goal. Now, BoltAI generates more revenue than my previous employment. If you’re struggling, keep going. A lot of (good) things can happen if you keep showing up I guess.

2025 is 25% complete. Time to launch your startup, sir.

The wisdom of Bruce Lee.

Learn to code. Because it teaches you how to think. Learn to leverage AI. Because it helps you get ahead of competition. Learn to build. Because the best way to predict the future is to invent it. Learn to sell. Because even the best ideas don’t spread themselves.

I’m proud of BoltAI. One-person company, 2 years, 8,000+ customers, 100% bootstrapped, profitable. Thank you all for your support 🫡

5 years old learned about price anchoring today 😄

My kind of ambition: bootstrapping a profitable business while staying fully present for my kids.

9-year anniversary ☺️

BoltAI is the proof that you can build an OK business being a mediocre developer.

My marketing is pretty meh. It’s a miracle I made any revenue at all 😂

I taught my 5 yo son the Roman numeral and dude used it to impress the girl in his class lol

F Lemon Squeezy. It’s the product where I recommended others, then stop recommending, then actively tell people to stay away. Nothing works: payment, licensing, email… It’s such a shame they went into 💩 after the acquisition.

TIL: The Stockdale Paradox The Stockdale Paradox states that when facing challenges and ambiguity, you must keep believing you will succeed, no matter the difficulties, while also facing the harsh realities of your current situation. 1/

I built something silly but useful ✨ Introducing: Oh One Pro Use o1-pro, o1 and o3-mini to analyze any document. 1/

12 lead magnets in 12 months let’s go

2024 was a great year for horror fans (like me) Some of my most favorite movies: - The Substance - Late nights with the Devil - Oddity - Speak No Evil (the original version was great too) - Strange Darling - Monolith - Heretic - Smile 2 - Longlegs - Abigail - The Devil’s Bath - The First Omen 1/2

Wow. Sisu is s great western war movie. Highly recommended if you’re into western genre.

My son the entire day today: “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart…” 😂

This is the reason why I love building 💙

Have a nice weekend everyone ✌️

My son can’t wait to unbox his father’s new toy 😜

Me listening to blitzscaling podcast while working on my $0 MRR startup.

Registered a new DBA for my LLC. Podzim LLC → BoltAI now 💪

Just watched first season of Silo. Pretty good. I feel hooked right from the start. Apple TV has a lot of good shows but for some reason, not many people know it. Or is it just me? :D

If you're a workaholic, try starting a startup. You'll never run out of work again.

Rate my “desk” setup 😌

Took me a while to realize this. The best way to serve my customers better is business growth. More profits → more developers I can hire → more useful features and less bugs. More profits → more helpful content → customers can get the most out of the product.

I AM GONNA RETIRE SOONNNNNN!!!

A little boy was in a bus eating a chocolate, then he took another one and then another ... A man next to him said, "Do you know that too much of it will damage your teeth??" The boy replied, "My grandfather lived for 105 years" The man asked, "Was it because of eating chocolate?" 1/2

Deleted 15k email subscribers today 😅

I’m a fairly competent developer. And I buy boilerplates to save development time 🤷‍♂️

Traffic of all my products. You can clearly see which one is my focus 😁

When facing a tough decision I usually ask ChatGPT to analyze the situation using game theory. It gives a pretty good analysis, especially when using o1-full.

Sonnet 3.5 New is great 😎

This is what I hate the most about SwiftUI. A simple restart and the bug goes away. I don’t even know how and why 🥲

"I've been in the area since 14" The arena:

I’m a self-taught developer. But I also have a CS background.

I get a dopamine hit whenever a customer reaches out with a nice message. Better than a Stripe notification. To everyone supporting BoltAI, thank you 🙏

I shipped BoltAI v1.29 with many useful features: - Official supports for Amazon Bedrock & xAI - Set custom cache breakpoint when using Anthropic models - Added support for o1 models on Azure - Document Analysis now supports for more file types and more... boltai.com/blog/amazon-...
