Not just slow, but the changing the limits and the usage continuously!

We are paying for smartness and stability

[@levelsio @levelsio]

If Claude Code keeps being slow like this while I pay $200/mo (and they don't let me pay more)

They will essentially force me to leave to Codex and I don't want to

But it's soooooo slooooooooooooowwwww

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding:

1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now

2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend

3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets

4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time

5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users

6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists

7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees.

8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing

9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A

10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros

i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings

the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start

you don't

sold my first faceless account last month for $47,000

i built it in 11 weeks

let me explain why this is the most underrated play in digital products right now

faceless accounts sell for 30-40x monthly revenue. that's not a typo

account making $1,200/month = $36K-$48K asset
account making $2,500/month = $75K-$100K asset
account making $4,000/month = $120K-$160K asset

you're not building a content page. you're building a sellable machine

the one i sold was doing $1,400/month with a $39 template in a niche i have zero personal interest in. meal prep for night shift workers. found the idea from a reddit rant with 400 upvotes

never showed my face. never used my name. never attached my identity to it

which meant when a buyer came along asking "can i take this over completely" the answer was yes. because the account wasn't me. it was just a system

personal brands can't do this. when you ARE the product the business dies when you leave

i kept the template. sold the account. still make passive income from a product attached to an account i don't own anymore

now i'm building my 4th one using the same process

find overlooked niche on reddit. validate demand. build one ugly template. grow 4 faceless accounts around it. sell the accounts. keep the product. repeat

i documented everything from the account i sold. the niche research. the content strategy. the growth timeline week by week. the exact conversation with the buyer. how the deal closed

RT and comment 'FACELESS' - i'll send the full breakdown (must be following)

People say "I don't have ideas" etc

And I think sometimes it can be just your environment

If I am traveling a lot, and am in loud and hot environments with lots of people, and moving around all the time my brain goes in survival mode and there's zero creativity or ideas, I just become an NPC

Now I'm in a silent place again, good temperature, not too hot, and my brain is relaxed and instantly I get ideas again and want to make stuff

So I think environment can affect your creativity a lot, if the environment is bad you brain will just shut down

My bet is most/many people are in very bad environments and constantly in fight or flight mode just trying to get through the day/week so aren't able to be creative at all for that reason
