Today I turn 30. At 18, I had a clear plan: by 30, I'd be a millionaire. I'm not. Not even close. Instead, I have a company I built from zero. A (insanely talented and cool) team. Projects I'm proud of. And the freedom to do my own thing, something 25-year-old me wouldn't have dared to even hope for. And yet I keep catching myself thinking: "Once I hit the next milestone, then the good life starts." That's the lie I've been telling myself for years. Because life doesn't happen at the next milestone. It happens in between. On an ordinary Tuesday. Playing basketball in the sun before the next meeting starts. Over dinner with friends. The last few months might have been the happiest of my life, and I almost missed it because my head was already on the next goal. So that's what I'm taking into my 30s: keep the ambition, but stop pushing happiness to "later." I've told myself that before and never managed it. This time I'm actually going to try.
Turning 30 tomorrow. The last few weeks were intense. Came back from hiking to a mountain of work. That's also why I've been quiet here on X. But I want to make my last day in my 20s count. Here's the plan: ๐ŸŽฅ Recorded a video for my future self. How I think, how I feel, right now. A time capsule. I think I'll make it a regular thing. A video diary of sorts. ๐ŸฅŠ Stepping into an MMA gym for the first time. Never done it before. ๐Ÿ’ฌ First session with a private English teacher online to improve my English. ๐Ÿ“‹ Had a full day of internal team meetings. ๐ŸŽ“ And taught a class as an instructor. My little side I still do for fun. Not a bad way to close a chapter. In general, I am really proud of how I turned my life around in my 20s.

Surprise, surprise! Turns out the hard part was never the code. It was knowing what to build and designing it so people stay. Most valuable skill.

I really need to prioritize sleep again. I feel so dead.. Today I - went to the gym - taught for 1.5 hours - had 4 meetings, almost back-to-back All of it sleep-deprived. Sleepmaxxing from now on.

Screen Charm is live on @ProductHunt i made a funny video about my relationship with PH (thanks to my wife for recording it!). on my first PH launch 2.5 years ago, i got only 2 upvotes. because of that terrible experience, i started taking X more seriously. so basically, Product Hunt and especially that failure is the reason i started posting on X. today, i want to say thank you to that experience. i guess i'm a bit more mature now and don't expect anything, but I'd really appreciate your support ๐Ÿ‘‡ producthunt.com/products/scrโ€ฆ

May will be INTENSE! I'll turn 30 in one month and one day. But before that, I've got a ton to pack in. Call it my "last sprint" out of my 20s. โ†’ Wrapping up 2 major projects โ†’ Kicking off 5 new ones โ†’ Today: an "AI Networking Run" (I haven't run in ages, so I'm probably going to die) โ†’ Next week: OMR Festival in Hamburg โ†’ Week after: hiking in Saxon Switzerland (116 km, 8 days) โ†’ Community get-together with 2hearts (a community I recently joined) โ†’ Two friends turning 30, so two birthday parties โ†’ Guest spot on a podcast โ†’ Starting MMA Then... 30.

The first day was very intense!! Hiking over 15km ,and with that kind of incline... That was brutal after a week of bed rest being sick.
I'm going to hike in Saxon Switzerland starting tomorrow. Unfortunately, I missed the first four days because I was sick. ๐Ÿซ  However, I will join my friends for at least the second half Since I wanted to see Bastei, I went there by bus today & holy shit, it's beautiful!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

This post just gave me 400 new followers!! ๐Ÿคฏ Time to reintroduce myself. The full story: โ†’ Started coding at 11. Got my first dev agency job at 16. โ†’ Then spent ~8 years in what I can only call hell. ADHD. University. A toxic relationship. No direction. No passion! โ†’ At 24/25, something clicked. Fell back in love with software. Hackathons. Startups. Obsession! โ†’ At 26 I went freelance. At 27 I had the idea for @FeatherFlowTech. โ†’ At almost 28 FeatherFlow started getting traction and I began hiring. โ†’ At 29 I left my 9-5 with no savings to go all in. Everyone told me to go back to a job. โ†’ 4 months in, barely any revenue. Took a bank loan to survive. Everyone was worried. โ†’ 6 months in? The tables turned!! Two 30k$/month months. ๐Ÿฅฐ I turn 30 in 3 weeks. I am running FeatherFlow full-time for 1.5 years now. We are now a team of 7-8, designing and building amazing AI products for very happy clients. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ I couldn't be happier. I live the life I dreamed of several years ago. If you feel like you "wasted" years... Everything compounds. You are not too late!!! P.S. Check my pinned post. I wrote everything I have planned for my last weeks in my 20s. ๐Ÿ“Œ

OMR 2026 wrapped. On the way home now. We caught Tom Brady's talk. Exactly what you'd expect: a classic American motivational speech, lot of "don't be a bitch", but very entertaining. ๐Ÿ˜„ Heading home with a long list of ideas we want to work through, a handful of leads, and some potential new projects on the horizon. I am very happy!! ๐Ÿฅฐ It was really great to meet the people you work with or have been in touch with for a while, in person. Makes everything a bit more human & real :)

OMR Day 1 and I barely stepped inside a stage. No regrets, though. ๐Ÿ˜„ I only visited the talk from our client SnipKI (which was great btw)! I mostly spend my time meeting cool people! Met friends I've known from X and LinkedIn for years. Some for the first time IRL. Those conversations > any keynote. One observation: AI for WhatsApp and chat commerce GEO stuff was at every other booth. Wow, the market is saturated. Excited for day 2!! ๐Ÿ‘€
