I also gain a priceless feature: Freedom. I can change the UI, add features, connect all my apps - anything is possible with just a prompt. I'm replacing Resend next. I love it, but it's very expensive ($400/mo) x.com/marclou/sta...

So I've set a cleanup cron job for my newsletter alternative. It marks inactive subs as dormant, sends one last re-engaging email, and stops emailing them. Money saved. Deliverability increased.

Newsletter platforms charge per subscriber, when in fact the real cost is the number of emails sent. Subscribers will naturally become inactive, so you end up paying more for something that hurts your deliverability (sending to dormant subscribers = spam trap).

I left Beehiiv because they raised prices for the 3rd time in 2 years. - My first yearly bill was $1,000. - My future bill would have been $4,000. Now I'm using AWS SES + MongoDB, and I will pay less than $300/year.

Nobody talks about this side of AI. I think it's making life 10x worse for people who tend to overthink. You can now go down a rabbit hole that would never have existed without of AI. I think we’ll discover a lot of side effects like this over the next decade.

I did my yearly body fat scan this morning. 5.5% The doctor used a skinfold tool and measured 7 parts on my body. 5.5% is very low, and I'm still a bit skeptical because bodybuilders have 3-4%, and I look nowhere near that. I'm 181cm and 84 kg, so my lean mass is good.

Over the past decade, those skills have compounded. I now run a tiny portfolio of startups making $1M+/year, while sleeping 8 hours a night, working out 2 hours a day, and spending plenty of time with my wife. Anything is possible if you're hungry. Believe in yourself.

I never felt confident because nothing really worked out for 7 years. I ended up being average at everything: coding, marketing, design... But building 37 startups (marclou.com) taught me much more important skills: resilience, discipline, and optimism.

Every time a new trendy tech emerges, new wrapper startups pop up on TrustMRR.com. OpenClaw was one of the biggest waves. Now it's Jev. I've noticed that the founders who jumped on the trend earliest are the most financially rewarded. If you don't know what to build, scroll 𝕏 and build on trends
