I've built $1m+ saas 5 times
every time, the math was the same. and it's simpler than people think:
$1m valuation at just a 2.5x multiple = ~$400k arr
which is about $35k mrr
$35k mrr = 350 people paying $100/month
you don't need to change the world. you just need 350 people with the same problem willing to pay you to fix it
the math isn't hard
the actual game is choosing a problem specific enough that 350 people feel it the exact same way, and common enough that at least 350 of them exist

WhatsApp groups are going to be the most underpriced distribution channel of the next 2 years.
Meta ads penalize you for linking off platform. AI is going to summarize newsletters before anyone opens them. SMS is expensive.
WhatsApp is free, it's direct, and it's owned by Meta. You stay inside their ecosystem so they don't punish you for leaving.
You're getting 90%+ open rates on a platform with 2 billion users and paying nothing for it. That math doesn't last.
@0x45o Don't care. When it comes, it comes.
None of us gets out alive...you just hope that you have time to embrace all the parts of life you wish to embrace and if you are fortunate to do that...be grateful every day, because nothing is guaranteed.
Be grateful, work hard, love hard.

Now that AI lets anyone spin up their own tools and automations, the bottleneck isn't coding anymore — it's access to quality data.
And DR is one of the best shortcuts out there for sizing up how authoritative a website really is.
So we're just giving it away!

Jeff Bezos reveals the simple phrase that saved him countless arguments running Amazon
"Disagree and commit is a really important principle that saves a lot of arguing"
"One of my direct reports would want to do something. I'd think it was a bad idea. We'd go back and forth and I'd often say, you know what, I don't think you're right, but I'm going to gamble with you"
"You're closer to the ground truth than I am. I've known you for 20 years, you have great judgment"
"At least then you've made a decision and I'm agreeing to commit to that decision. I'm not going to be second guessing it, sniping at it, or saying I told you so"
"I'm going to try actively to help make sure it works. That's a really important teammate behavior"
luckily bookmark rot is an easy problem to fix now
here's how to turn every X bookmark you've ever saved into a second brain your agent has full context on:
1. export your bookmarks. i use twitter-web-exporter (free userscript) or the BookmarkSave extension. you get one file with every bookmark + the full text + the author + the link
2. drop that file into a folder. if you already run an llm wiki / obsidian vault, drop it straight in so your bookmarks join the rest of your knowledge
3. point your agent at the folder (claude code, codex, hermes, whatever you run) and tell it: "read this export and turn every bookmark into its own markdown note with the original link and a couple of topic tags"
that's it, your agent has read all of it.
now you can ask "what have i saved about pricing" or "pull everything i bookmarked on claude code" and it answers across the whole pile
takes maybe 10 minutes
after that they actually get used, and every new bookmark folds into the same brain instead of rotting in a tab you never open again
Current AI custom prompt:
You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.
Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

@ashwinsanghi The post laments a recent Supreme Court ruling, likely in the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula dispute, where the court maintained dual worship access at the Dhar site claimed as a Sarasvati temple, despite ASI evidence of temple remnants amid mosque structures.
