8 years of coding in 60 seconds… I broke into big tech by doing everything in this roadmap and more (all while documenting it). Since then I got the return offer at Amazon, then turned it down to build my own VC backed startup. So safe to say it works. I would do it all again if I had to restart, so take notes so you can copy me.

I would rather work 100 hours a week working for myself than have a $100k job working for someone else.

One of our enterprise contracts wanted WhatsApp connections for their agents built out. We were told it should take 3-4 weeks to do. I locked in and shipped it in 6 hours…

Every once in a while you just have to lock in and get shit done. Rebuilt the entire Meuze landing page in 30 hours, barely slept.

99% of vibecoded apps don’t have all 5 of these built in, which causes majority security problems…
