if you’re new here, i’m bob. i work in private credit, but my real goal is to break out—build something of my own, or buy a business and scale it. my father passed away when i was 11, just as his own career was taking off. that loss shaped me. it made me relentless, made me see work not just as a way to make money, but as a way to carry forward a legacy.
i think about the world through the lens of politics, economics, and philosophy—how power moves, how markets function, how ideas shape reality. this account is a window into that journey. the risks, the wins, the raw thoughts along the way. figuring out how to escape the corporate track and make something real.

the wife archetype and the fun partner archetype feel increasingly hard to find in the same person, which is probably why modern dating feels so broken.

I don't know why more people aren't buying dead SaaS companies and turning them into AI agent companies.
1. Use OpenClaw, Hermes, Perplexity Computer etc to build an automation that scans Product Hunt, Acquire, and app stores for dead SaaS products. Filter for ones that launched 2019-2024, had real customers, and went quiet.
2. Reach out to the founder on X. Most of them will respond within a day because they've been wanting to sell for a year and nobody asked.
3. Buy it. $5-30k. Sometimes less.
4. Export the database. Feed it to Claude or GPT. Map every workflow their customers were trying to do.
5. Read the support tickets. This is the goldmine. 200 strangers already told the last founder exactly what they needed and he couldn't deliver it.
6. Build an agent-native version that actually does those workflows instead of giving people a dashboard to do them manually.
7. Upload the old email list to Meta. Build a lookalike audience. Those old customers have moved on. You're not selling to them (realistically). You're using their data to find the next them.
8. Run $20/day ads targeting people who look exactly like the customers who already validated this market for you.
9. Build content around the exact pain points you found in the support tickets. Post on X. Post on YT. You already know what to say.
10. You now have the customer profile, the pain points, the pricing sensitivity, the churn reasons, and a lookalike audience. Your competitor who's starting from scratch has a landing page and a guess.
The dead SaaS acquisition playbook is going to be one of the biggest quiet wealth builders of the next 5 years.
Most SaaS products are a collection of workflows that can be rewritten as agent skills. Many will die. The top ones will pivot to agent companies.
Build agent companies.

in basketball the best players love spacing cuz it gives room to move, & lanes to attack.
tech rn is maximum spacing. the floor is effectively wide open. the world is reshuffling fast enough that an entrepreneur gets to define what the next version looks like. chaos is a ladder type stuff.
these types of windows don’t stay open long & don’t occur as often as you’d like them to.

*got deleted by accident, re-posting below. spirit will respond to this and not email, classic.
before i go off, let me just say: i hate karens. i’m not a facebook mom. but spirit airlines just pulled something so absurd that i have to put it on the record.
here are the facts @SpiritAirlines
i’m on vacation with my wife. flight home is booked. on april 7, spirit emails me trying to upsell bag add-ons for the flight. on april 11, they send a vague email saying “one or more of your flights has been cancelled” without telling me which flight. no route. no number. no date. nothing. i try contact support, ai script.
the morning of april 25, i show up to the airport for my flight home. at 11:28am, while i’m standing at the gate, spirit emails me to confirm the flight is cancelled. scheduled departure was 12:12pm. that’s 44 minutes of notice for a flight they had clearly killed weeks earlier. they were still happily selling bag upgrades on it.
i ask the agent to put me on the next spirit flight. she tells me there are no spirit flights out of this airport until july and then laughs, in my face. they looked at me as if i was crazy.
july.
so i drop over $1,000 to get my wife and i home that same day. spirit refunds the $396 ticket and tells me, in writing, they “don’t offer hotel accommodations, refunds for additional expenses, or other transportation.” their own contract of carriage says the opposite. section 8.3 explicitly covers reimbursement for non-local guests after a controllable cancellation.
their guest relations team just decided that section doesn’t exist.
i ask to speak to someone in us corporate. that is, apparently, impossible. their own customer support cannot connect you. they can only email a back office that replies with the same scripted paragraph. it is a closed loop designed to wear you down until you take the $396 and shut up.
spirit has filed for chapter 11 twice in less than a year. november 2024. then again in august 2025. they are right now, today, still in bankruptcy, with reports last week that they may liquidate within days.
and this stranding vacationers with 44 minutes of notice and gaslighting them about their own contract is how they’re spending the runway.
you don’t get to file chapter 11 twice in twelve months and treat customers like an inconvenience. the math on why nobody’s flying you anymore isn’t complicated.
filing a DOT complaint today.

these jokers left me stranded in a random state for layover. our flight arrived late causing me to miss a connecting flight. no refund, no accommodations, no flight options to continue the trip nor return home. had to buy a new flight home after 8 hours on calls. ABSOLUTE WORST

it’s pretty incredible how bureaucratic systems quietly erode humanism: accountability becomes more diffuse precisely as responsibility becomes more totalizing. the individual is asked to carry more of the burden, while the system becomes less answerable for the outcomes it produces. over time, nobody is truly at fault, yet everyone is increasingly subject to the consequences.

all noise aside, agents / ai is just software, on steroids, under a new paradigm.
27
the future interface is probably three layers:
1. ambient intent capture
voice, location, calendar, screen context, messages, habits, biometrics, etc. the system understands what you’re trying to do before you explicitly “open” anything or augments your intent deeply.
2. agentic execution
the actual work happens through agents operating software, apis, browsers, documents, email, calendars, workflows, payments, support systems, whatever. most “computer use” becomes machine to machine clerical labor.
3. ephemeral verification ux
humans still need to inspect, compare, approve, edit, reject, or enjoy things. that’s where gui survives but as disposable, task specific surfaces generated for the moment.

i’ve thought a lot about careers, & the question that kept surfacing in my mind was do i want to spend fifteen years climbing a ladder someone else built until i’m finally a vp of something? or do i want to do some crazy shit & see where life takes me?
my personality has always bent toward the latter. & when i stress test it against the long view time & time again, the math still works cuz i ask a very simple question which is that do i want my kids to say “dad spent his life moving from level to level at some company,” or do i want them to say “dad wrote some dumb stuff online, actually created stuff outta nothing, contributed to the culture directly, had a lot of fun, & ended up here”?
the second one wins every time here too.

excited to share what we have been up to.
your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life.
@skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone.
no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws required. skye is ambient intelligence that just works.
it continuously listens to your context & acts on it. it builds your reading lists, gives you personalized weather, drafts email replies, prepares you for meetings & trips, flags suspicious charges, works through your reminders, tracks your health, & gives you one tap intel on wherever you are (restaurants, museums, neighborhoods, etc).
all surfaced on your home screen.
over the next few posts i’ll break down how it works, why we built it, & why we think it deserves to exist in the world.
beta starts today. if you’re on the list, you’ll get access very soon. app store shortly after. deeply appreciate you all following along on this fun little journey. also please join our discord !

if I was a mid market enterprise on the cusp of getting disrupted by ai, here is what I would do IMMEDIATELY:
tell every employee to start journaling, taking notes, and documenting every workflow about their day. hear me out:
if the company is leveraging their knowledge base, whether proprietary, technical, from a third party, or from years of deep domain expertise, they need to document it asap, as that context is about to become highly valuable.
ai agents are not all-knowing agi creatures…they are siloed tool sets who are better than any coder on earth. the only way to beat them is by leveraging them, immediately, and to do that you need to give them CONTEXT.
accumulate all the journal from the employee base, have ai parse it out and pattern recognize, aggregate, and make them skill.md files. then, go build a Claude managed agent for every workflow, and give them those skill files, along with an identity of the job description, and let them cook. even if this does not work 100%, you will at least learn far more about what’s coming than every one of your competitors, and possibly fix and iterate to approach a winning strategy
