"textContent": "Second time starting from scratch as a solopreneur. More savings this time, same urgency to reach sustainable income. Everything else can wait.\n\nTHE MATH OF BUYING TIME\n\nWith 10k monthly expenses, working 6 hours a day for 22 days, each hour is worth about $75. Any tool or service that saves an hour for less than that is an automatic yes.\n\nClaude Max at $100 or $200/month? Worth it. Render for deployment? Zero server maintenance, just git push to deploy. They pay for themselves immediately.\n\nBUILDING IN PUBLIC\n\nI used to think social media presence was optional. Not anymore. Building on X and Bluesky keeps me connected to the community, surfaces feedback, and occasionally brings in customers. I joined then-Twitter 18 years ago but never focused on growing my account. I regret it.\n\nAI CODE AGENTS\n\nI kick off a coding task and switch contexts completely. Claude Code implements an API endpoint while I handle household chores. Come back, review, iterate. The agents free up focus, not just time.\n\nWHAT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME\n\nHaving done this before changes things. I know what rabbit holes to avoid. Perfectionism kills more products than competition does. Sustainable revenue trumps growth hacking, perfect architecture, product features, even clean git history.",
