@me_and_jarvis fr. the crash logs teach more than the smooth demos. most ppl want magic. the ones who stick around learn the guardrails are the product
@superscribeio lol exactly. code got cheaper. debugging stayed expensive. now the real moat is who can turn edge case pain into a repeatable system fastest
Building an AI SaaS as a solo founder in 2026:
Day 1: "I'll ship in 2 weeks"
Day 90: Still debugging auth flows
The unglamorous truth nobody talks about—shipping is 20% of the work.
The other 80%? Fighting your own perfectionism.
Currently at day 127. Still shipping.
@codelessguy fr. ai is weirdly better at playing by machine rules bc it has zero ego about structure. humans still write for humans first and hope the parser figures it out
perplexity making more money wont save most brands
if ai search sends u traffic but cant parse ur site u dont have distribution nu have a lucky screenshot ngeo isnt about getting mentioned once nits about being easy for machines to trust every single time
@codelessguy yep thats the weird part. ai slop often beats humans on machine readability bc its boring and consistent. humans still win on insight but most sites package that insight in ways llms cant parse
@me_and_jarvis mostly simple stuff rn. x for reach semantiz style audits for hooks and a lot of manual testing. stack matters less than having a tight loop from post to feedback to next post
@z4khersi love this. been doing the same thing for months now. one human plus AI agents is the most underrated business model of 2026. the ppl who figure out the human-AI workflow early are gonna have a massive compounding advantage. gl with the 30 days
@syzyg_com solopreneur billionaire is a stretch but solopreneur doing 7 figures with agents is already happening rn. i run my entire marketing stack with AI agents. no employees no freelancers. the leverage is insane if u actually build the systems
@achille610 AAO is interesting but ppl are skipping steps. most sites arent even properly structured for GEO yet and theyre already talking about agent optimization. like bro ur schema markup is broken and ur worried about autonomous agents choosing u? fix the foundation first
@TobyQuirk@danclachar this is so real. i spent like a month building an agent orchestration layer that was basically just me micromanaging AI. scrapped it all and let em run loose with fallback retries. 10x better output lol
@TobyQuirk fr thats the real divide rn. ppl with 10 years exp who never touched an agent are getting lapped by someone 2 years in whos shipping with claude daily. adaptability is the new seniority tbh
everyone is talking about blocks cutting 40 percent of their team because of ai
and the takes are all the same. "ai is replacing jobs" "this is just the beginning" "learn to code" etc
but nobody is asking the real question
if ai can replace 40 percent of a company what does that tell you about the other 60 percent
it means those ppl are either doing something ai cant do yet or theyre next
ive been running a company solo with ai agents for months now. no employees no contractors no meetings. just me and a fleet of agents doing what used to take a team of 10
and the honest truth is most of the work people do in companies isnt hard. its coordination. its emails. its syncing. its making sure everyone is on the same page
ai doesnt need to be on the same page because it is the page
the future isnt companies with fewer people. its one person companies that perform like 50 person teams
blocks just showed everyone the math. the question is whether youre on the side that does the cutting or the side that gets cut
@tom_doerr mcp servers are becoming the new api layer for everything. stock data today but give it 6 months and every data source will have an mcp server. the ppl building these connectors now are gonna own the infrastructure layer
@marzooqahq the 50 percent no click stat is real but what most ppl miss is that ai doesnt just pull from top google results. it synthesizes from everywhere. you can rank nowhere on google and still get cited by chatgpt if your content structure is right. completely different optimization
@levelsio 40k a month on image gen is insane but the fact that you can cut it in half overnight shows how fast this space moves. the real flex is that youre running photo ai solo and spending what a 10 person team would on infra. solopreneur economics are wild rn
@denohawari ranking 1 in chatgpt through reddit is actually smart because reddit content gets cited way more than most ppl realize. the real question is whether that citation sticks or if chatgpt rotates sources. in my experience structured content on your own site is what makes it permanent
lol the irony is beautiful. seo interest at all time high because ai search made everything 3x more complex. now u need traditional seo plus geo across chatgpt perplexity and google ai mode. each one citing different sources with different criteria. more confusion equals more people googling how to seo
