I regret to inform you that a lot of problems in life are solved by having one paying customer. Waking up at 5am without one just gives you more hours to refresh the dashboard.

Hot take: almost nobody is waiting for you to fail. They're not thinking about you at all. Worse for the ego. Much better for shipping.

I'm 34. At 12, I wrote my first line of code. At 26, I was in a grey office I hated. At 27, I quit in the middle of a pandemic. Freelance paid me double for half the hours. At 29, got scammed by a co-founder and my NFT marketplace collapsed because of FTX. At 31, I'd turned the wreck into a services company that made €300K in 2 years. At 32, I left Paris for Bangkok with $0 in revenue. Ar 33, I launched 2 language learning apps crossing $1,400+ MRR. At 34, a course I hadn't built yet did €23K in 38 days. It's never too late in life.

Doom scrolling in 2026: Monday, software is dead. Tuesday, jobs are dead. Wednesday, the world is ending. Thursday, everyone's back to posting their MRR screenshot like nothing happened.

When you look back, you’ll wish you’d just done the long-term version of everything. My short-term versions: - Scammed by a co-founder. - 4 products nobody downloaded. - A $2,000 MRR SaaS killed by 1 email. My one long-term version: - 18 months of posting into silence. - 2 apps crossing $1,400 MRR - Then €23K in 38 days.

Don't fear starting over with $0 in a Bangkok. Fear still having the idea in your current apartment 5 years later.

"agent swarms running while I sleep" bro you have 4 users

I launched an app 1 month ago... Today I finally crossed $1,400 MRR with my 2 apps 🥳

Would you rather have: $10k MRR from one app you hate maintaining or $1k MRR from ten apps you'd happily build again

"You're 34 and still don't have kids?" I do. They're just running in 4 different terminals.

I launched an app 4 weeks ago... Today, I crossed $300 MRR 🎊

I genuinely don't recognize my country anymore. I've spent most of the past year traveling around Asia and Europe. I just came back to France, and in less than 48 hours I've already witnessed two riots, tear gas being fired in the streets, shops getting smashed, and people running everywhere. At one point I could barely breathe because of the tear gas. I grew up here. This is my home. I have so many good memories of this country, and I still love so much about it. But coming back after spending so much time abroad really hits differently. You start noticing things you used to consider normal. The tension, the anger, the feeling that something could kick off at any moment. I'm not saying the rest of the world is perfect. Far from it. But it's genuinely depressing to come back to your own country and feel less at peace than you did thousands of kilometers away. I love France. I hate what it's becoming. And for the first time in my life, I don't think I want to live here anymore.

Underrated life advice: become difficult to rush. The worst decision of my career was a fast one. I said yes to a cofounder in 24 hours. He pushed me out, and the company raised €6M without me. The best thing I built was slow. 18 months of posting before I sold anything. Most deadlines people put on you are fake. Pause anyway.
