turned down microsoft 2 years ago to build small apps nobody uses… still at a day job.
looking for the excuse to make the leap

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

I turned down a Big Tech job to build my own things on the internet.

Make yourself unemployable.

@bijouron Thanks bijouron🔥

Day 27 building my startup in public:

Focused on performance tweaks and cost optimization. Every millisecond and dollar saved counts.

Started working through feature requests from new users, their feedback is gold.

We're almost at 100 MMR unofficially, over 200 with pre-release beta conversions.

Road to 5k MMR is officially on. Who's with me?

Day 26 building my startup in public:

Cost optimization for APIs, done.
Automated 60% of my marketing tasks with Claude skills.

Every resource saved gets me closer to the goal.

What's your go-to move to scale smarter, not harder?

@theashutoshn Looks beautiful man really, wanna connect? Really great job!

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@guileful_reed I don’t 😂, is just impossible I have so much noise all the time, but I learned to manage it and now it doesn’t bother me anymore, what you do with it?

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@Clara_Layr @adambcohen93 I will💪

@bhaveshbuildz https://t.co/SCrN9jukeg , the only pain intelligence you need for get market analysis and discover hidden niche for build your next SaaS or devtool, lets connect!

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@albanahm @X Let’s connect man, what are you building?

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@stefabrudan Cold dms

@CeredaMatteo Let’s connect man

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@wtf_nakul7 Claude all the way, what do you think about it?

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@benfchi So true, what you’re building now?

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@manojeldios There’s no signal, you will never feel like your product is ready, so my advice is just ship it and act on feedbacks

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@Bal33n @tryechosift Is a pain intelligence for indie hacker and developer, it tracks complaints and provide market analysis, competitor gaps and give you honest angles of approach

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

Yesterday a dev asked "what should i build"

everyone replied with opinions. i replied with 74 real complaints about vscode, pulled from @tryechosift .

by afternoon he was a paying customer.
by tonight his extension was live on the marketplace.

signal → subscription → shipped product. one day.

building is free now. knowing what's worth building is the whole game.

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@theogmeet bought @tryechosift , used it, and two hours later launched a product.

From idea to validation to launch in just two hours.

That's what working on real, validated problems looks like.

It's not about building for the sake of building.

It's about solving what actually matters.

And moving fast enough to catch the moment.

Proof that if you focus on real problems, progress can be lightning quick.

@theogmeet @tryechosift Leave some for me man😂🔥

@cheicolate the 2-year worry assumes you have to guess. pains regenerate faster than ai eats them , people will complain about brand new things in 2027 too. build for a current complaint, charge monthly, move when the next one shows up

[Alessio Persico @alepbuilds]

@beardboss20 @ManmohitSandhu imposter syndrome hits hardest when the target is vague. "build something great" is unwinnable. "fix this one thing 200 people complained about last month" is just a task. happy to dig one out for your stack if you want, no strings
