I use the terminal and AI to do everything.
Solo entrepreneur: replaced my team with Claude Code + 51 MCP servers.

GUIs are deprecated.

Tried to play a movie on my Android TV. It couldn't. So I yelled at Claude until he figured it out.

I forked Beeper's MCP to be able to send or download files, as well as start new conversations (in WhatsApp, didn't test it with the others) @beeper

On marketing to Korea and their weird blue square things on the side of their cars

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

Is my success a function of skill or luck (doesnt matter), and whether my ideas work in Korea?

First one: a Vietnamese laundromat in Saigon redpills you on power level differences

[DearSky @dadakk_999]

@JordanRejaud I’m a huge fan of your work I have a quick question: Do you attribute your success more to skill or luck?
I'm eager to learn from your experience and was also wondering if you think your strategies would work well in the Korean market
I'd love to hear your thoughts

Most Westerners assume their cultural priors are universal (they aren't); Japan's drug laws are still 1950s American imports nobody bothered updating.

> Your complete founder story from A to Z?
That's way too long of an answer lmao, be precise with your question; nobody who has done anything is going to write an A to Z book just for you (unless they are selling it to you).

> What was your main goal when getting into SaaS?
Money? Why does anyone get into any business?

> Biggest frustrating challenge scaling Parekeet?/ Second biggest?
Unless you're at a point where you are actively scaling, don't think at all about scaling. Simply remove it from your mind; as far as you are concerned, it doesn't exist.
Pour all your stat points in getting from 0 -> 1 first, then figure out how to get from 1 -> 100.

If you're scaling right now, then ask a precise question about what you're struggling with and I'll try to answer it.

> One piece of advice that could change a bootstrapper’s life? Stop asking questions, most advise is useless, don't read books/ watch podcasts/ YT videos unless its directly pertinent to what you are trying to solve EXACTLY at that time, don't try to "hoard" knowledge that you MIGHT need in the future, it's just masturbation and it keeps you from actually trying to do stuff (and failing, which you will).

Figure out what you need to do RIGHT NOW to move your project forward (which is usually validating your business idea as fast/cheap as you can), ignore everything else, do that first, and then go from there.

Hey @JordanRejaud
As promised — here are the questions!
Feel free to ramble in text or video, whatever’s easiest. Excited to learn from how you built Parekeet to $1.5M+

Your complete founder story from A to Z?
What was your main goal when getting into SaaS?
Biggest frustrating challenge scaling Parekeet?
Second biggest?
One piece of advice that could change a bootstrapper’s life?

Thank you again legend 🙌

@levelsio I use Zoho, they have an API which I use to let Claude Code catalog my expenses, it's been working great since I switched from Quickbooks

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

Fork of zoho-mcp by @kkeeling

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

QuickBooks locks you out of your own expense data. No API for categorization, no automation, no AI integration.

Switched to @ZohoBooks + Claude Code. Now I manage expenses through natural language:

"show uncategorized expenses"
"categorize Amazon as office supplies"
"list travel expenses this month"

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

Claude Code couldn't email attachments. I fixed it.

Now I can send files to anyone from my terminal.

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

They don't have cell phones. No Telegram access. They have limited computer access through the megacorps who sell these services to the prison system.

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

@florianwueest Its true, on the whole nobody cares about your accomplishment or failures. If you can't derive meaning of your own life on your own, you're ngmi

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

@VedranRasic @starter_story Thank you, it's less crazy once you realize how much of an industry every "government service" actually is.

[Jordan Rejaud @JordanRejaud]

My @starter_story video is live, it's my first podcast :)

I saved $40k a year by dumping all my wagies and replacing everything that I could with AI.

Reply with your questions below, and I'll answer the more interesting ones.

@BobGeorgeff afaik, it is common among them; sure, link it and I'll let you know what I think

Issue tracking has been upgraded 🤖

Before: 3 people on my team, every task was a card with all convo on that specific card: No emails, Slack only for time sensitive stuff.

Now: 10 AI agents running in parallel (no more people), worktrees from linear cards, automatic PR creation, following up with the AI agents directly from Github.

This is what Kanban looks like in a post-wagie world.

[Linear @linear]

Issue tracking is dead.
We are building what comes next.
