Supervised a project 2 week ago. Two programmers where hired to create an MVP. I have worked with both before.
- Alex from Germany. 100% code. 19 years experience.
- Hamid from Pakistan. Code + Copilot + GPT-4 + no-code. 4 years experience.
What do you think happened?

Closed a huge deal for a friend's company worth $300k. He promissed me 10% cut if I would help him out with the sales.
After the deal closed today, he say that he thinks 30k is to much and only wants to give me 3k.
I just lost a business friend. I can live without 30k but I can't live with someone that doesn't keep his promises.

A customer subscribed couple of month's ago out of the blue ($800/mo). I ask if he needed help with onboarding or anything. Just got a "no"... but they are using the service lol

Hamid built the UI and front-end workflows in @bubble, generated Cloudflare Workers using GPT-4, integrated existing code using Copilot, and generated tests using GPT-4 (playwright/ava).

He had a talk with Alex about this. His response? "But it will be so much cheaper to run this app, and you'll have everything under control." Not understanding the opportunity costs of shipping 13 times slower and 25 times more expensive to develop.

Biggest SaaS trick I learned this year? Kill any plan under $30/mo.
Those users complain a lot, churn fast and leave negative reviews...

Sold a 2 year licence to a no-code saas for €15k
How the conversation went:
Client: We don't want to buy it for 15k, we only want it for 6 months and pay 5k
Me: We don't offer that. Its 15k for 2 years, paid upfront

Alex finished around 7% of the tasks. Costs:
Vercel: $20
Compensation: $3500
Estimated to developing everything: $45k. And expects $11k for adding tests.
Costs to host/run: $20/mo

This was a project I supervised for a friend of mine with an agency. I only did it because I was really curious about how it would turn out.
We both thought that Hamid would be finished in 8-10 weeks while Alex would take a week or two extra, but the results amazed us!

Some screenshot of the no-code app I build in a weekend and sold for $40k.
My stack?
@bubble to build the app
@coaliascom to add the multiple domains
@basis_lab for 90% of the UI components
@madewithframes for 10% of the UI components
5 hours of dev time, 2.5 hours of sales!

Hamid finished the first version in one week with 100% test coverage of code and end-to-end testing of no-code parts.
95% of the work seems to be finished and appears to work at first glance... 😲

Both programmers received Figma screens and detailed specs. A designer was available to assist them with the assets they needed, and there was also existing code that needed to be integrated.

I heard he is getting a offer to work fulltime at the company. He will train other programmers to work with no-code + ai + code.
And I am thinking of starting a agency to "Hamid" type of people.
No-code + AI + Code is a really powerful combination

Me: Create a prototype in 4 weeks in no-code, got $1.7k MRR, and generated $10k revenue in 3.5 months with a crappy UI
Friend: After 6 months coding and perfecting the product... zero revenue :\

Mock Features for B2B SaaS
It's one of the techniques I've used in the last 10 years to sell $6M worth of software licenses. When you are selling $1k+/month software, there is a weird dynamic happening that doesn't occur with lower pricing.
Let me explain!

First customer testing pagerabbit for blogs. Pages are loading 50x faster on @bubble
Users experience pages loaded in 0,3 seconds instead of having to wait 17 seconds.
While preserving dynamic things like workflows, stripe checkout, etc

Dear @vercel @leeerob @rauchg
I understand that changing pricing models sometime leads to increases for x% of customer. But don't send a email like...
Your feedback: bandwidth / functions are too expensive
Our action: Increasing the pricing
A billion dollar company can do better 😅 of annoucing a pricing increase to the x% of customers that are negatively impacted by the pricing change...

That doesn't make @levelsio's achievement less... he is gaining maximum fun & profits by working in a small team (his gf does support I think and one ai engineer)...
Having a 10 person company didn't make me happy... rather have a 1 person company doing 1M ARR orso

Look at me loading a 1000 items on @bubble vs @bubble + @wureducer
WU Reducer responds after 8 seconds, Bubble responds after 30 seconds...
Can I now say that WU reducer is almost 4x faster then only using Bubble ;)

What would happen, if you could create @bubble apps/sites with static server side rendering?
Almost a perfect score. See how it works with the video in the comments.

Comparing native @bubble vs. bubble + @wureducer
Using a 3G fast connection
WU Reducer loads data and renders data in 4s, while only using native Bubble takes around 15s
Why the difference?
- WU Reducer sends it in 1 request, while Bubble makes 7 requests
- WU Reducer sends 7k, while Bubble sends 200kb
- WU Reducer caches the call, while Bubble gets it from the database
- WU Reducer sends less JSON (faster to parse/process), while Bubble sends a lot of JSON (slower to parse/process)
One app implemented WU Reducer yesterday. Saved 20k WU's (going to save $99 in 30 days) minus the $6 costs of WU reducer.

How I lost €372k building my previous startup, EscapeEd. I feel like such a loser for making so many wrong choices.

Let's talk about my first mistake... failing to SHIP!

If you do more then 1M WU's a month using @bubble and you want to reduce that?
Let me help you implement wureducer.com for free! You will be used as a use case for how much WUreducer users.
Already did one app that reduces 90% WU's but doesn't want to be a showcase :(

Posted a job, simple instructions:
- Write a 2 sentence introduction of yourself
- Share your github repo as a link
- Don't request meetings, I want to work async
- Send a 1 - 2 minute video of your most relevant project to show for this job post
78% (32 out of 41) failed to execute simple task that I could ask AI to do
@shl is this a good format? Most developers are horrible at following instructions somehow...

As a Muslim, I faced a lot of discrimination selling to local dutch governments. I had to work twice as hard to sell. The great thing about SAAS software is that people buy your product, software, and vision. People generally don't care about your religion. #buildinpublic #nocode

This tweet went viral. It was read by someone I helped out a very long time ago.
That person is now one the director of one of the departments that the customer works at.
That customer just called me. They are putting the deal on hold as ordered by his boss, boss.
Power of twitter 😯
Closed a huge deal for a friend's company worth $300k. He promissed me 10% cut if I would help him out with the sales.
After the deal closed today, he say that he thinks 30k is to much and only wants to give me 3k.
I just lost a business friend. I can live without 30k but I can't live with someone that doesn't keep his promises.
