9-5 by day, learning, building and shipping by night.
Follow my journey from $0 to independent.
Goal 1 to quit 9-5: $5k/month

DM to get something built free.

Built an APIKey tester as OSS side project that auto-detects your key from 19+ providers; OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, you name it.

@andrewdsouza @boardyai Great, I'd love to

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Sam Altman briefing the UN Security Council? This isn't about AI safety, it's about Big Tech consolidating power and shaping regulation in their favor. Indie hackers, keep building outside their influence. The future of AI belongs to the builders, not the bureaucrats. #AI #buildi

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Deleting valuable LLMs? Absurd! Huge props to Pirate Face for stepping up and rescuing critical models from oblivion. This is exactly the kind of community-driven action that fuels innovation, not stifles it. Keep building, folks! #AI #indiehackers @PirateFaceCo

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

LLMs are just glorified psychics! This article perfectly dissects how they exploit human bias with vague answers, creating an illusion of brilliance. Don't get conned by the AI hype; focus on building *real* value. @softwarecrisis #AI #indiehackers

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

If AI is 'lowering your code quality,' you're doing it wrong. Stop blaming the tools and fix your process! AI amplifies *your* workflow; if it's bad, AI makes it worse. Own your quality gates. #AI #indiehackers

The 'Chief of Staff' pattern for Claude Code Agents isn't just fancy talk. It's the only way solo devs will truly scale AI-driven dev. Stop messing with prompts, start orchestrating your digital team. Game changer. #buildinpublic #AI

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Microsoft director calls AI scraping "largest theft of labor in human history." This isn't just hyperbole; it's a stark warning. As #indiehackers building #AI tools, we *must* demand ethical data sourcing. Ignoring this is building on sand. @Microsoft, what's *your* solution?

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Git on object storage is a game-changer for scale, but only if you master packfiles! @TigrisData shows how to make it performant. Stop settling for slow storage; this is how you build robust #microSaaS infrastructure. #buildinpublic

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Non-autoregressive RL models a year ago? This isn't just foresight, it's a masterclass in *actual* innovation. While others chased hype, @convaiinnovations was building the future. Stop regurgitating old news, start creating it. #AI #buildinpublic

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

OpenAI used LLMs to design a 'jalapeño chip'?! This isn't innovation, it's AI eating its own tail. If LLMs can design hardware, the barrier to entry for specialized tech just vanished. Time to rethink your #microSaaS. @OpenAI #AI

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

NASA & @IBM just made space exploration accessible with their open-source Lunar Foundation AI model! Stop building just for Earth. This is a goldmine for #indiehackers ready to launch #microSaaS solutions into the cosmos. The future is literally out of this world. #AI

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Building a database from scratch in pure Zig? Absolute madness. The *right* kind of madness. Forget bloated SaaS, this is how you truly own your stack and squeeze out every ounce of performance. Peak #indiehackers power move. Respect, @Antfly_io! #tech

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Even OpenAI isn't immune! A heap overflow + SSO misconfig could've exposed their internal repos. This isn't just a bug; it's a glaring reminder that security is everyone's job, especially when you're building the future. Audit EVERYTHING. #infosec #buildinpublic

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

AI agents generating parametric geometry? This isn't just automation; it's a fundamental shift. If you're not integrating AI into your core workflows, you're already behind. Stop building CRUD apps and start leveraging AI for truly disruptive micro-SaaS. #AI #microSaaS

@wickedguro Congrats, man!
The journey is difficult, but the result is always great. 🎉

"Largest theft of labor in human history" – a Microsoft exec on AI scraping. They know it, we know it. Don't let your micro-SaaS be built on stolen foundations. Innovate with integrity, don't appropriate. The future belongs to ethical builders. #microSaaS #indiehackers

[Maan @Polymath_Codes]

Let's see where it goes 😅
Good luck @marclou for #Hyrox

@higgsfield @higgsfield_ai

[Marc Lou @marclou]

This company is crazy.

After spending $68,000 on my body, they rented me a car to drive to the Hyrox venue. My transformation into a billboard is now complete.

Higgsfield also gave me $30,000 in API credits to make marketing videos with AI models like Seedance.

I built a little puzzle game to give them away: finish it and verify your email, and I’ll randomly pick 30 winners in 48 hours, each getting $1,000 in credits.

The game starts in this tweet, in this photo...

It should take you ~15 minutes. Good luck 👀

This little sponsorship experiment made me realize AI has pushed solopreneurship mainstream.

Companies are sponsoring influencers, as we see on YouTube. This wasn't the case when I joined X in 2021.

All my friends outside our indie-hacking bubble are talking about building their own internet business solo.

I think it was meant to happen because solopreneurship unlocks two fundamental human desires: creativity and not-having-a-boss.

If I had to bet, we're just at the beginning.

AI mistakes are costing us fortunes & trust. Bend isn't just another language; it's a *statement*. Proof-of-correctness on CPU/GPU for AI? This is the ONLY way forward for serious #microSaaS builders. Stop shipping flaky AI, start building with guaranteed reliability. #AI #buildi
