I help businesses boost revenue and cut costs by modernizing their Ruby on Rails legacy code | 👉🏼

I'm validating a micro-SaaS idea this week. Product: Automatic Stripe cancellation surveys Target: Indie SaaS founders who don't know why customers cancel Price: $49/mo (vs ChurnKey's $299/mo) 7 days to hit 25 signups or I pivot. Full plan 🧵

The best engineers aren’t writing code anymore

Why I'm sharing this publicly:

1. Accountability (I've built stuff nobody wanted before)
2. Real feedback (if this is stupid, tell me NOW)
3. Early customers (if you'd use this, sign up)

Following along? I'll share daily updates this week.

What am I missing?

Question for SaaS founders:

When customers cancel via Stripe, do you know why?

I'm building automatic cancellation surveys and validating demand this week.

Would this be useful to you? Or nah?

Looking for honest feedback 🙏

When leading, operate under the assumption that everyone is doing their best and working hard.

[Rafael George @cor3d]

Establishing trust within teams and exploring new working methods is crucial, even though many of us resist change, which can be challenging.

Structural mediocrity has its own inertia.

I got to a similar conclusion and built a document uploader workflow totally vibing with event modeling. :)

#vibecoding can work really well with no balls dropped for scalability, security, etc if you use @EventModeling and #EventSourcing. This adds the accounting aspect to information on information systems so you don't hurt yourself letting your "vibe" paint you into a corner that you'll need a rewrite to get out of.

Establish a strong communication rhythm with regular check-ins, ensuring remote workers feel engaged and acknowledged. Some people might feel like in limbo without some type of touch.

By using Event Modeling, the team can focus on core functionality, improving system efficiency and cost-effectiveness. 🧶 (1/3)

When data is updated, previous records are deleted, which can lead to the loss of crucial historical information, potentially complicating troubleshooting.

[Rafael George @cor3d]

What?! if the app just send emails why not just replacing it with something that send emails? ... sponsors.... oh ah, got it... never mind.

[Rafael George @cor3d]

Rather than continuing with this inefficient process, teams should consider declaring "process bankruptcy" and starting fresh.

Impact Mapping is a strategic planning technique that prevents organizations from losing focus while building products and delivering projects.

[Rafael George @cor3d]

In team meetings, the focus may be on identifying tickets and debating estimates, lacking clear ownership or understanding of the calculations involved.
