Strikes me as an opportunity to make something better rather than just straight up banning AC units.
You've had years (6-8?) knowing the Olympics would be in your city during the hottest time of the year.
I feel like as a society we used to be better about this.

People are busy. Jobs, family and other hustles.
Could you build a SaaS business in just one hour a day? Thinking about trying to do this, and share updates as I go. Would you be interested in following along?

I think I’ve simplified this a bit:
$5k launch a directory
$20k … launch 4 directories
$100k … launch 20 directories
$1m … launch 200 directories
Directories for the win!
To make $5k/mo
> launch a directory, jobboard or launchpad.
To make $20k/mo
> launch a saas tool.
To make $100k/mo
> launch an AI Agent.
To make $1M/mo
> be an OF creator

I hate when people say ideas have no value. This just isn’t true. Ideas you don't execute have no value. Ideas are multipliers of your execution. Execute your ideas and build value.

Many people might do the work, but only 1 gets paid.
Great for you! Not so great for the ones that did the work, but didn’t get paid.
It’s a gamble, especially when the “winner/best” is entirely subjective.
A gamble many a willing to take.

Just over two years ago I started hacking on a side project in nights and weekends with

Last year that became Founderpath, my full time endeavor to support bootstrapped saas founders.

While I’m a big fan of the no code movement, I do worry that it may lead to less people learning to code, which long term is probably a bad thing.

I haven’t actively been trying to do a “12 projects in 12 months” type of challenge, but since the beginning of the year I’ve launched 6 side projects.
If you exclude the 2 projects I’ve done for other people, that’s still 1 project per month 🤣

People often ask me what it takes to get good at building stuff, one word ... "Practice". The more you do, the better you get.
Here's a spreadsheet of the 50+ projects/businesses I've started/built/sold/shut down over the past 15 years, along with what happened to them and links to Wayback to see how terrible they were. 😛

Really tried off people telling me what to do. Wake up early, got to sleep early, work a lot, don’t work a lot.
