About This Podcast

Building is solved. You can spin up a Next.js app with Cursor and Claude in a single weekend. But turning a vibe-coded app into actual monthly recurring revenue (MRR) is brutally hard. This show is for indie hackers, solopreneurs, and semi-technical founders who want to escape the vibe revenue trap. We skip the launch day dopamine hits and the generic startup advice. Instead, we break down the exact practitioner receipts you need: automated validation workflows, token-aware pricing models, and the exact tech stacks (like Supabase and MCP) that stop your AI from hallucinating in production. No hype. Just the hard math and specific configurations required to build a sustainable SaaS in the era of vibe coding.
