I'm Turning a Micro Agent into a Micro SaaS | Build in public E135

This is my daily update for my build and This is my daily update for my build and This is my daily update for my build and public log. I keep running into a pain public log. I keep running into a pain public log. I keep running into a pain point. So, I believe the best businesses point. So, I believe the best businesses point. So, I believe the best businesses are the ones that solve a real pain. Um, are the ones that solve a real pain. Um, are the ones that solve a real pain. Um, that seems pretty obvious, but that seems pretty obvious, but that seems pretty obvious, but surprisingly, a lot of people who try to surprisingly, a lot of people who try to surprisingly, a lot of people who try to start businesses start businesses start businesses don’t don’t start that way. It’s there don’t don’t start that way. It’s there don’t don’t start that way. It’s there there’s not a pain. It’s like, I have there’s not a pain. It’s like, I have there’s not a pain. It’s like, I have this idea or I have this solution. Let this idea or I have this solution. Let this idea or I have this solution. Let me try to find a problem. But obviously me try to find a problem. But obviously me try to find a problem. But obviously the successful ones find the pain, solve the successful ones find the pain, solve the successful ones find the pain, solve the pain, and become a business. And the pain, and become a business. And the pain, and become a business. And it’s tricky because there’s a lot of it’s tricky because there’s a lot of it’s tricky because there’s a lot of like businesses people see and interact like businesses people see and interact like businesses people see and interact with every day that kind of don’t do with every day that kind of don’t do with every day that kind of don’t do that, but still exist. So, I can kind of that, but still exist. So, I can kind of that, but still exist. So, I can kind of see why it’s a fallacy. Um, just think see why it’s a fallacy. Um, just think see why it’s a fallacy. Um, just think about it. You walk down the street and about it. You walk down the street and about it. You walk down the street and you see a little store sells burgers you see a little store sells burgers you see a little store sells burgers just like a million other stores around just like a million other stores around just like a million other stores around it. Is there a pain? Do people get it. Is there a pain? Do people get it. Is there a pain? Do people get hungry and need to eat? Yes. But hungry and need to eat? Yes. But hungry and need to eat? Yes. But is a burger shop really is a burger shop really is a burger shop really really addressing a pain in the market? really addressing a pain in the market? really addressing a pain in the market? Do you see what I mean? But yet it Do you see what I mean? But yet it Do you see what I mean? But yet it exists and yet it makes money. So I exists and yet it makes money. So I exists and yet it makes money. So I don’t know. It’s I think that kind of don’t know. It’s I think that kind of don’t know. It’s I think that kind of fools a lot of people into building [  ] fools a lot of people into building [  ] fools a lot of people into building [  ] that nobody really wants. That doesn’t that nobody really wants. That doesn’t that nobody really wants. That doesn’t really solve a pain. Um and frankly I really solve a pain. Um and frankly I really solve a pain. Um and frankly I think I’ve done a lot of that myself. I think I’ve done a lot of that myself. I think I’ve done a lot of that myself. I think I need to take a step back and think I need to take a step back and think I need to take a step back and focus on actually solving a pain. So, focus on actually solving a pain. So, focus on actually solving a pain. So, uh, this is why I’ve kind of just done uh, this is why I’ve kind of just done uh, this is why I’ve kind of just done nothing with agents code. I built this nothing with agents code. I built this nothing with agents code. I built this website with a bunch of agents cuz I website with a bunch of agents cuz I website with a bunch of agents cuz I thought, well, people need agents. thought, well, people need agents. thought, well, people need agents. There’s a pain with agents and it’s There’s a pain with agents and it’s There’s a pain with agents and it’s like, like, like, is there really like how do I know like is there really like how do I know like is there really like how do I know like there’s really a pain? So, I’ve taken a there’s really a pain? So, I’ve taken a there’s really a pain? So, I’ve taken a step back to try to talk to a lot more step back to try to talk to a lot more step back to try to talk to a lot more people to figure out what the pain is people to figure out what the pain is people to figure out what the pain is for people actually building agents, for people actually building agents, for people actually building agents, actually using them for real customers. actually using them for real customers. actually using them for real customers. I want to continue to find and talk to a I want to continue to find and talk to a I want to continue to find and talk to a lot of these people to really truly lot of these people to really truly lot of these people to really truly understand the pain if there is a pain. understand the pain if there is a pain. understand the pain if there is a pain. What are their difficulties actually What are their difficulties actually What are their difficulties actually running agents in the wild? Work running agents in the wild? Work running agents in the wild? Work backwards. Find a common pain point and backwards. Find a common pain point and backwards. Find a common pain point and address it thing. I need to address some address it thing. I need to address some address it thing. I need to address some pain. I need to try to put something out pain. I need to try to put something out pain. I need to try to put something out there to make money. I originally built there to make money. I originally built there to make money. I originally built this agent this agent this agent because I I had a dream of building kind because I I had a dream of building kind because I I had a dream of building kind of an AI virtual assistant. So you know of an AI virtual assistant. So you know of an AI virtual assistant. So you know you can go hire um you know a virtual you can go hire um you know a virtual you can go hire um you know a virtual assistant from anywhere in the world. A assistant from anywhere in the world. A assistant from anywhere in the world. A lot of people will find people like in lot of people will find people like in lot of people will find people like in India or the Philippines where they India or the Philippines where they India or the Philippines where they speak English if you assuming you speak speak English if you assuming you speak speak English if you assuming you speak English and get someone really really English and get someone really really English and get someone really really cheap just a couple hundred a month. you cheap just a couple hundred a month. you cheap just a couple hundred a month. you hire a VA and you have someone you can hire a VA and you have someone you can hire a VA and you have someone you can just you know throw work at virtually. just you know throw work at virtually. just you know throw work at virtually. So I thought what if we can like slowly So I thought what if we can like slowly So I thought what if we can like slowly replace that VA with AI which a lot of replace that VA with AI which a lot of replace that VA with AI which a lot of people are trying to do anyways. So I people are trying to do anyways. So I people are trying to do anyways. So I started kind of working on that and I started kind of working on that and I started kind of working on that and I built agents code a platform that will built agents code a platform that will built agents code a platform that will like run all these async agents like run all these async agents like run all these async agents to facilitate that. But then I quickly to facilitate that. But then I quickly to facilitate that. But then I quickly realized it was in over my head. It just realized it was in over my head. It just realized it was in over my head. It just simply was too much for me to build. simply was too much for me to build. simply was too much for me to build. Like even if I had built for six months Like even if I had built for six months Like even if I had built for six months straight, I just really would need more straight, I just really would need more straight, I just really would need more people. Like I I really think that’s a people. Like I I really think that’s a people. Like I I really think that’s a better thing for like a team that like better thing for like a team that like better thing for like a team that like raised money to actually go build, not raised money to actually go build, not raised money to actually go build, not like a solo bootstrap person. I I I like a solo bootstrap person. I I I like a solo bootstrap person. I I I believe you need to start more simple. believe you need to start more simple. believe you need to start more simple. It was just too much. I I quickly saw It was just too much. I I quickly saw It was just too much. I I quickly saw what it would take and I was like, what it would take and I was like, what it would take and I was like, “Yeah, this would be like years of work “Yeah, this would be like years of work “Yeah, this would be like years of work and I don’t have runaway for years of and I don’t have runaway for years of and I don’t have runaway for years of work, so I I can’t do that.” So I so I work, so I I can’t do that.” So I so I work, so I I can’t do that.” So I so I was like well I have this thing now was like well I have this thing now was like well I have this thing now built. Let me do like agents like I built. Let me do like agents like I built. Let me do like agents like I believe the future is micro agents that believe the future is micro agents that believe the future is micro agents that work really really really really well. work really really really really well. work really really really really well. Connect that to you know like no code Connect that to you know like no code Connect that to you know like no code tools and all these tools that that LLMs tools and all these tools that that LLMs tools and all these tools that that LLMs can just call the agent to do this one can just call the agent to do this one can just call the agent to do this one little specific task. Again am I really little specific task. Again am I really little specific task. Again am I really solving a pain? Is this a real pain that solving a pain? Is this a real pain that solving a pain? Is this a real pain that people have? I don’t know. And no one people have? I don’t know. And no one people have? I don’t know. And no one seems interested one. So, I built kind seems interested one. So, I built kind seems interested one. So, I built kind of a prototype janky ass version of an of a prototype janky ass version of an of a prototype janky ass version of an AI assistant. And the only thing I AI assistant. And the only thing I AI assistant. And the only thing I actually kept having this thing do was actually kept having this thing do was actually kept having this thing do was schedule me a meeting. So, I would like schedule me a meeting. So, I would like schedule me a meeting. So, I would like with human text, you know, like or I’d with human text, you know, like or I’d with human text, you know, like or I’d forward an email off and be like, forward an email off and be like, forward an email off and be like, “Schedule this.” Like, there’s obviously “Schedule this.” Like, there’s obviously “Schedule this.” Like, there’s obviously an event in this email. Like, just read an event in this email. Like, just read an event in this email. Like, just read the email, figure it out, and schedule the email, figure it out, and schedule the email, figure it out, and schedule the event. That’s what I kept using it the event. That’s what I kept using it the event. That’s what I kept using it the most. I wouldn’t do anything else. the most. I wouldn’t do anything else. the most. I wouldn’t do anything else. And I was like, even I’m not using this And I was like, even I’m not using this And I was like, even I’m not using this [  ] thing. I took that down because [  ] thing. I took that down because [  ] thing. I took that down because I I just took it down and was like I I just took it down and was like I I just took it down and was like whatever. I keep running into this whatever. I keep running into this whatever. I keep running into this painoint. I’m like god damn it, I need painoint. I’m like god damn it, I need painoint. I’m like god damn it, I need that thing again. I I need to schedule a that thing again. I I need to schedule a that thing again. I I need to schedule a meeting. I keep seeing um you know texts meeting. I keep seeing um you know texts meeting. I keep seeing um you know texts that I want to turn into an event or an that I want to turn into an event or an that I want to turn into an event or an event or you know I’ll see something on event or you know I’ll see something on event or you know I’ll see something on Instagram for example. It’s like I want Instagram for example. It’s like I want Instagram for example. It’s like I want to take a picture and just be like hey to take a picture and just be like hey to take a picture and just be like hey put this on my calendar. I want to go to put this on my calendar. I want to go to put this on my calendar. I want to go to this thing. So, I keep having this pain this thing. So, I keep having this pain this thing. So, I keep having this pain point and I I saw other people online point and I I saw other people online point and I I saw other people online saying that they have a similar pain saying that they have a similar pain saying that they have a similar pain point. Why don’t I do this? Two birds point. Why don’t I do this? Two birds point. Why don’t I do this? Two birds with one stone. I still believe that with one stone. I still believe that with one stone. I still believe that micro agents are desperately needed micro agents are desperately needed micro agents are desperately needed because so many people build agents that because so many people build agents that because so many people build agents that are [  ] They don’t even know how are [  ] They don’t even know how are [  ] They don’t even know how well it works. They don’t even know like well it works. They don’t even know like well it works. They don’t even know like how accurate it is. There’s not good how accurate it is. There’s not good how accurate it is. There’s not good tracking. You need you need all of that. tracking. You need you need all of that. tracking. You need you need all of that. I still am convinced I still am convinced I still am convinced the majority of agents people build are the majority of agents people build are the majority of agents people build are [  ] They’re absolute [  ] core [  ] They’re absolute [  ] core [  ] They’re absolute [  ] core [  ] They don’t work. They don’t even [  ] They don’t work. They don’t even [  ] They don’t work. They don’t even or they work like 80% of the time. And or they work like 80% of the time. And or they work like 80% of the time. And that’s not good enough. You need you that’s not good enough. You need you that’s not good enough. You need you need like actually 99% accuracy or n need like actually 99% accuracy or n need like actually 99% accuracy or n higher than 80%. Let’s put it that way. higher than 80%. Let’s put it that way. higher than 80%. Let’s put it that way. So I need a real use case, a real people So I need a real use case, a real people So I need a real use case, a real people using the agents so I can nail down that using the agents so I can nail down that using the agents so I can nail down that evaluation. evaluation. evaluation. I can nail down the system. I can nail I can nail down the system. I can nail I can nail down the system. I can nail down tracking errors, fixing things down tracking errors, fixing things down tracking errors, fixing things iteratively, making things better. I iteratively, making things better. I iteratively, making things better. I need to work on the actual core agents need to work on the actual core agents need to work on the actual core agents part, the actual runner evaluation part, the actual runner evaluation part, the actual runner evaluation piece, all of that. There’s no no easier piece, all of that. There’s no no easier piece, all of that. There’s no no easier way than being forced to do that with way than being forced to do that with way than being forced to do that with users. Like people are actually using users. Like people are actually using users. Like people are actually using the thing. There’s a you know, you kind the thing. There’s a you know, you kind the thing. There’s a you know, you kind of have to get on it because you see of have to get on it because you see of have to get on it because you see things failing. You you got to just make things failing. You you got to just make things failing. You you got to just make it. I was like, why don’t I just build a it. I was like, why don’t I just build a it. I was like, why don’t I just build a micro SAS micro SAS micro SAS that’s basically this. You type in an that’s basically this. You type in an that’s basically this. You type in an event, you know, schedule a meeting with event, you know, schedule a meeting with event, you know, schedule a meeting with John tomorrow at 10 a.m. Why don’t I John tomorrow at 10 a.m. Why don’t I John tomorrow at 10 a.m. Why don’t I just build that? Make one little small just build that? Make one little small just build that? Make one little small product that does one thing extremely product that does one thing extremely product that does one thing extremely well, well, well, have it run on agents code, have it run on agents code, have it run on agents code, nail down the quality like and and the nail down the quality like and and the nail down the quality like and and the valuation. Make sure it’s like really valuation. Make sure it’s like really valuation. Make sure it’s like really actually accurately working and you can actually accurately working and you can actually accurately working and you can really know those numbers. Do you really really know those numbers. Do you really really know those numbers. Do you really see? And I could like look on a see? And I could like look on a see? And I could like look on a dashboard and go, “Oh [  ] that is dashboard and go, “Oh [  ] that is dashboard and go, “Oh [  ] that is failing.” Like 20% of the time, my my failing.” Like 20% of the time, my my failing.” Like 20% of the time, my my agent is crap. Work backwards to make it agent is crap. Work backwards to make it agent is crap. Work backwards to make it not be crap. Honestly, my thesis for not be crap. Honestly, my thesis for not be crap. Honestly, my thesis for this is why don’t I build micro agents this is why don’t I build micro agents this is why don’t I build micro agents for people doing automation work? What for people doing automation work? What for people doing automation work? What if that’s just wrong and people just if that’s just wrong and people just if that’s just wrong and people just don’t [  ] need that? What if all don’t [  ] need that? What if all don’t [  ] need that? What if all these tools that exist right now are these tools that exist right now are these tools that exist right now are just good enough? No one needs that. just good enough? No one needs that. just good enough? No one needs that. Maybe maybe it’s actually better to Maybe maybe it’s actually better to Maybe maybe it’s actually better to build just a core product with an agent. build just a core product with an agent. build just a core product with an agent. probably why, you know, I just I just probably why, you know, I just I just probably why, you know, I just I just won’t I just want a revenue coming in won’t I just want a revenue coming in won’t I just want a revenue coming in and have a have a run and operate a and have a have a run and operate a and have a have a run and operate a successful business as profit and successful business as profit and successful business as profit and revenue. I don’t care what that is at revenue. I don’t care what that is at revenue. I don’t care what that is at this point. And this is something I keep this point. And this is something I keep this point. And this is something I keep needing like all the time. Like every needing like all the time. Like every needing like all the time. Like every month I need this. Maybe not every week, month I need this. Maybe not every week, month I need this. Maybe not every week, but like every every couple weeks at but like every every couple weeks at but like every every couple weeks at least I need this. I don’t know if least I need this. I don’t know if least I need this. I don’t know if that’s enough for a paid product. Maybe that’s enough for a paid product. Maybe that’s enough for a paid product. Maybe there’s people who need to do this a there’s people who need to do this a there’s people who need to do this a lot. So here’s what I want to do. build lot. So here’s what I want to do. build lot. So here’s what I want to do. build a really really simple MVP. A lot of a really really simple MVP. A lot of a really really simple MVP. A lot of that agent is already working. It does that agent is already working. It does that agent is already working. It does need some work. It does need work need some work. It does need work need some work. It does need work because the it’s not good enough. Uh but because the it’s not good enough. Uh but because the it’s not good enough. Uh but the infrastructure is there. Like let me the infrastructure is there. Like let me the infrastructure is there. Like let me just make this better. Spend a couple just make this better. Spend a couple just make this better. Spend a couple days really polish this agent up. Really days really polish this agent up. Really days really polish this agent up. Really test the hell out of it. Essentially test the hell out of it. Essentially test the hell out of it. Essentially like this but but like a dedicated like this but but like a dedicated like this but but like a dedicated landing page and nicer than this. Clean landing page and nicer than this. Clean landing page and nicer than this. Clean clean up this UI. Make a real simple clean up this UI. Make a real simple clean up this UI. Make a real simple [  ] page. make a landing page. Real [  ] page. make a landing page. Real [  ] page. make a landing page. Real real basic MVP. Have a working version. real basic MVP. Have a working version. real basic MVP. Have a working version. This calls agents code. This calls that This calls agents code. This calls that This calls agents code. This calls that agent. Uh that’s that’s fine-tuned and agent. Uh that’s that’s fine-tuned and agent. Uh that’s that’s fine-tuned and better. Um not fine-tuned with a model. better. Um not fine-tuned with a model. better. Um not fine-tuned with a model. I don’t know if it needs like a fine I don’t know if it needs like a fine I don’t know if it needs like a fine tune model, but maybe that is what it tune model, but maybe that is what it tune model, but maybe that is what it ends up needing to be like really really ends up needing to be like really really ends up needing to be like really really really accurate all the time. I don’t really accurate all the time. I don’t really accurate all the time. I don’t know. Let’s let’s see. know. Let’s let’s see. know. Let’s let’s see. That way I’m kind of getting a product That way I’m kind of getting a product That way I’m kind of getting a product out there, actually solving a painoint out there, actually solving a painoint out there, actually solving a painoint and learning more about like actually and learning more about like actually and learning more about like actually how to do all the evaluation, all of the how to do all the evaluation, all of the how to do all the evaluation, all of the iterative making the agent better, iterative making the agent better, iterative making the agent better, fixing errors, keeping an eye on all fixing errors, keeping an eye on all fixing errors, keeping an eye on all those things, pointing at new models, those things, pointing at new models, those things, pointing at new models, like automatically falling back to like automatically falling back to like automatically falling back to things. There’s so many things I need to things. There’s so many things I need to things. There’s so many things I need to do with the agent system. Uh, and then do with the agent system. Uh, and then do with the agent system. Uh, and then also put something out there that also put something out there that also put something out there that actually I need because I even I keep actually I need because I even I keep actually I need because I even I keep needing this thing. I’m like, damn it, I needing this thing. I’m like, damn it, I needing this thing. I’m like, damn it, I wish that thing still existed and why wish that thing still existed and why wish that thing still existed and why did I kill that? I think for now it did I kill that? I think for now it did I kill that? I think for now it would just be like a really scrappy would just be like a really scrappy would just be like a really scrappy landing page. It would just do it in a landing page. It would just do it in a landing page. It would just do it in a web app. Just start for a crappy MVP. web app. Just start for a crappy MVP. web app. Just start for a crappy MVP. Probably the next immediate step would Probably the next immediate step would Probably the next immediate step would be a Chrome extension. But if if no be a Chrome extension. But if if no be a Chrome extension. But if if no one’s buying it, if I’m not even using one’s buying it, if I’m not even using one’s buying it, if I’m not even using it, then why am I going to do that? So it, then why am I going to do that? So it, then why am I going to do that? So that’s MVP first, then go backwards. that’s MVP first, then go backwards. that’s MVP first, then go backwards. Hey, is there traction? Do people want Hey, is there traction? Do people want Hey, is there traction? Do people want what do people want? Do they want a what do people want? Do they want a what do people want? Do they want a Chrome extension? Do they want to do Chrome extension? Do they want to do Chrome extension? Do they want to do this on mobile? Do they want a mobile this on mobile? Do they want a mobile this on mobile? Do they want a mobile app? You know, figure out if what people app? You know, figure out if what people app? You know, figure out if what people need. Personally, I would want um it to need. Personally, I would want um it to need. Personally, I would want um it to work in my inbox. That’s where I see work in my inbox. That’s where I see work in my inbox. That’s where I see things a lot. But I I don’t want to be things a lot. But I I don’t want to be things a lot. But I I don’t want to be restricted. So, I want a Chrome restricted. So, I want a Chrome restricted. So, I want a Chrome extension so I can just like select extension so I can just like select extension so I can just like select text, say, boom, make this, put this on text, say, boom, make this, put this on text, say, boom, make this, put this on my calendar. Done. I want to be able to my calendar. Done. I want to be able to my calendar. Done. I want to be able to like see a WhatsApp post or like take a like see a WhatsApp post or like take a like see a WhatsApp post or like take a screenshot and just be like, add this to screenshot and just be like, add this to screenshot and just be like, add this to my calendar. This is I want to go to my calendar. This is I want to go to my calendar. This is I want to go to this event. Done. Maybe people want SMS. this event. Done. Maybe people want SMS. this event. Done. Maybe people want SMS. Maybe the best way to do that. I [  ] Maybe the best way to do that. I [  ] Maybe the best way to do that. I [  ] hate installing apps. I hate installing hate installing apps. I hate installing hate installing apps. I hate installing mobile apps. I hate apps. I would just mobile apps. I hate apps. I would just mobile apps. I hate apps. I would just rather chat. Like just let me SMS. Let rather chat. Like just let me SMS. Let rather chat. Like just let me SMS. Let me just use Telegram. A Telegram bot is me just use Telegram. A Telegram bot is me just use Telegram. A Telegram bot is more than good enough at Telegram. Let more than good enough at Telegram. Let more than good enough at Telegram. Let me just forward an email. Maybe I can me just forward an email. Maybe I can me just forward an email. Maybe I can support all those things and do that one support all those things and do that one support all those things and do that one thing really, really, really well. thing really, really, really well. thing really, really, really well. Scheduling events. What do you think? Scheduling events. What do you think? Scheduling events. What do you think? What are your thoughts? Do you ever need What are your thoughts? Do you ever need What are your thoughts? Do you ever need this? I don’t think this is going to be this? I don’t think this is going to be this? I don’t think this is going to be a, you know, million-doll business. I a, you know, million-doll business. I a, you know, million-doll business. I just want some revenue and actually I just want some revenue and actually I just want some revenue and actually I start really hitting that agent’s start really hitting that agent’s start really hitting that agent’s framework that I built really hard and framework that I built really hard and framework that I built really hard and really iteratively making that better really iteratively making that better really iteratively making that better and actually doing all those things I’ve and actually doing all those things I’ve and actually doing all those things I’ve been talking about for a long time. So, been talking about for a long time. So, been talking about for a long time. So, right now I’m already working on agents right now I’m already working on agents right now I’m already working on agents code, cleaning some things up, uh, code, cleaning some things up, uh, code, cleaning some things up, uh, getting that getting that better, getting that getting that better, getting that getting that better, fine-tuning this, not fine-tuning the fine-tuning this, not fine-tuning the fine-tuning this, not fine-tuning the model, but like fine-tuning the agent model, but like fine-tuning the agent model, but like fine-tuning the agent actual code. Um, some [  ] I see is actual code. Um, some [  ] I see is actual code. Um, some [  ] I see is janky and needs work. So, I’m working on janky and needs work. So, I’m working on janky and needs work. So, I’m working on Let me know your thoughts. Um, like I Let me know your thoughts. Um, like I Let me know your thoughts. Um, like I said, this would be a very simple SAS, said, this would be a very simple SAS, said, this would be a very simple SAS, but micro agents powering a micro SAS. but micro agents powering a micro SAS. but micro agents powering a micro SAS. Maybe that’s what this thing could be. Maybe that’s what this thing could be. Maybe that’s what this thing could be. Maybe I could just spin up bunch of Maybe I could just spin up bunch of Maybe I could just spin up bunch of micro agents for businesses to run their micro agents for businesses to run their micro agents for businesses to run their a core piece of their product on. a core piece of their product on. a core piece of their product on. I don’t know. That’s how I built it. I I don’t know. That’s how I built it. I I don’t know. That’s how I built it. I built that thing really for all these built that thing really for all these built that thing really for all these things I was building. I needed a micro things I was building. I needed a micro things I was building. I needed a micro agent to embed in like a micro SAS that agent to embed in like a micro SAS that agent to embed in like a micro SAS that does something. So maybe that’s actually does something. So maybe that’s actually does something. So maybe that’s actually the target audience. Maybe I need to go the target audience. Maybe I need to go the target audience. Maybe I need to go after businesses and they rely on this after businesses and they rely on this after businesses and they rely on this thing to do for someone just to focus thing to do for someone just to focus thing to do for someone just to focus and worry about that core piece of their and worry about that core piece of their and worry about that core piece of their product. All right, let’s move on to product. All right, let’s move on to product. All right, let’s move on to questions and comments. No questions and questions and comments. No questions and questions and comments. No questions and comments today. So, on to my random comments today. So, on to my random comments today. So, on to my random story for today. I am learning the pain story for today. I am learning the pain story for today. I am learning the pain of what it’s like to have a server of what it’s like to have a server of what it’s like to have a server where you don’t have physical access to where you don’t have physical access to where you don’t have physical access to because I uh set up a server that I self because I uh set up a server that I self because I uh set up a server that I self host a bunch of stuff on um while I was host a bunch of stuff on um while I was host a bunch of stuff on um while I was living in California. Something failed. living in California. Something failed. living in California. Something failed. Hardware fell on the server and I was Hardware fell on the server and I was Hardware fell on the server and I was not there. And I was like, [  ] damn not there. And I was like, [  ] damn not there. And I was like, [  ] damn it. my server. I there’s nothing I can it. my server. I there’s nothing I can it. my server. I there’s nothing I can do. I’m on the other side of the world. do. I’m on the other side of the world. do. I’m on the other side of the world. Um, and I realize now like, oh yeah, Um, and I realize now like, oh yeah, Um, and I realize now like, oh yeah, servers have dedicated staff to go fix servers have dedicated staff to go fix servers have dedicated staff to go fix [  ] because hardware fails quite often. [  ] because hardware fails quite often. [  ] because hardware fails quite often. One of the fans failed on the server. One of the fans failed on the server. One of the fans failed on the server. And I was like, what do I do? I am not And I was like, what do I do? I am not And I was like, what do I do? I am not there to fix it. So, I had to I had to there to fix it. So, I had to I had to there to fix it. So, I had to I had to get my poor nephew, uh, he’s really into get my poor nephew, uh, he’s really into get my poor nephew, uh, he’s really into computers and and tech stuff. I I was computers and and tech stuff. I I was computers and and tech stuff. I I was like, can you please I’m going to order like, can you please I’m going to order like, can you please I’m going to order a fan through the house. Please, can you a fan through the house. Please, can you a fan through the house. Please, can you help me because he uses the server help me because he uses the server help me because he uses the server himself a bit and uh can you please go himself a bit and uh can you please go himself a bit and uh can you please go over there to grandma’s house where the over there to grandma’s house where the over there to grandma’s house where the server is set up and please go replace server is set up and please go replace server is set up and please go replace this fan. I’m sorry. I need your help, this fan. I’m sorry. I need your help, this fan. I’m sorry. I need your help, dude. And he’s like, “Yes, but I’m out dude. And he’s like, “Yes, but I’m out dude. And he’s like, “Yes, but I’m out of town. I’m I’m on a trip. Like, I I’ll of town. I’m I’m on a trip. Like, I I’ll of town. I’m I’m on a trip. Like, I I’ll be there in days.” And so this this be there in days.” And so this this be there in days.” And so this this server was my server was shut down, but server was my server was shut down, but server was my server was shut down, but people use this [  ] server. Like people use this [  ] server. Like people use this [  ] server. Like friends and family are using the server. friends and family are using the server. friends and family are using the server. So, and I, you know, I tell a few So, and I, you know, I tell a few So, and I, you know, I tell a few people, “Hey guys, the server’s down.” people, “Hey guys, the server’s down.” people, “Hey guys, the server’s down.” And then the complaints start coming in. And then the complaints start coming in. And then the complaints start coming in. Somebody pings me who also uses the Somebody pings me who also uses the Somebody pings me who also uses the server. Hey, what’s going on? Like, can server. Hey, what’s going on? Like, can server. Hey, what’s going on? Like, can you turn on the the computer that’s not you turn on the the computer that’s not you turn on the the computer that’s not working? And I’m like, “Fuck me. This is working? And I’m like, “Fuck me. This is working? And I’m like, “Fuck me. This is Damn it. Why I Why I wish I had physical Damn it. Why I Why I wish I had physical Damn it. Why I Why I wish I had physical access.” Like, I’m sorry. Something access.” Like, I’m sorry. Something access.” Like, I’m sorry. Something broke. The computer’s off. Like, uh, broke. The computer’s off. Like, uh, broke. The computer’s off. Like, uh, stand by. And they’re like, “Oh my god, stand by. And they’re like, “Oh my god, stand by. And they’re like, “Oh my god, I got so used to using that.” Finally, I got so used to using that.” Finally, I got so used to using that.” Finally, my last yesterday, my my nephew went my last yesterday, my my nephew went my last yesterday, my my nephew went over there and, you know, he this props over there and, you know, he this props over there and, you know, he this props to this kid, man. He he got zip ties. He to this kid, man. He he got zip ties. He to this kid, man. He he got zip ties. He fixed and re like reordered the cables. fixed and re like reordered the cables. fixed and re like reordered the cables. I was like, “Hell yeah. This kid is he’s I was like, “Hell yeah. This kid is he’s I was like, “Hell yeah. This kid is he’s legit.” He he replaced the fan. It legit.” He he replaced the fan. It legit.” He he replaced the fan. It didn’t It wasn’t the right size. It was didn’t It wasn’t the right size. It was didn’t It wasn’t the right size. It was like too big. But he he [  ] made it like too big. But he he [  ] made it like too big. But he he [  ] made it work. He He got tools and he jerryrigged work. He He got tools and he jerryrigged work. He He got tools and he jerryrigged this fan into the case and he got it this fan into the case and he got it this fan into the case and he got it working and he’s organized the cables working and he’s organized the cables working and he’s organized the cables and all this stuff. I was like, “Hell and all this stuff. I was like, “Hell and all this stuff. I was like, “Hell yeah, the kid kid has a bright future in yeah, the kid kid has a bright future in yeah, the kid kid has a bright future in tech.” So, it it it seems to be running tech.” So, it it it seems to be running tech.” So, it it it seems to be running now. There was all this problem booting now. There was all this problem booting now. There was all this problem booting things up and getting everything things up and getting everything things up and getting everything working. Weird stuff was going on. working. Weird stuff was going on. working. Weird stuff was going on. That’s the reality. And it’s interesting That’s the reality. And it’s interesting That’s the reality. And it’s interesting because um the big winners and the AI. because um the big winners and the AI. because um the big winners and the AI. So, there’s there’s a big AI bubble. Who So, there’s there’s a big AI bubble. Who So, there’s there’s a big AI bubble. Who are the winners? Who are the real real are the winners? Who are the real real are the winners? Who are the real real winners? The people selling the shovels. winners? The people selling the shovels. winners? The people selling the shovels. Who are those people? Nvidia. The data Who are those people? Nvidia. The data Who are those people? Nvidia. The data center people. there has been a an center people. there has been a an center people. there has been a an explosion of data centers. And they’re explosion of data centers. And they’re explosion of data centers. And they’re like, we want 10x data centers. We want like, we want 10x data centers. We want like, we want 10x data centers. We want 10x power for data centers. Those are 10x power for data centers. Those are 10x power for data centers. Those are the real goddamn winners. The people who the real goddamn winners. The people who the real goddamn winners. The people who build these like massive data centers build these like massive data centers build these like massive data centers for the big tech for for for the big tech for for for the big tech for for um maybe I think it Amazon AWS does that um maybe I think it Amazon AWS does that um maybe I think it Amazon AWS does that all themselves. I don’t think they all themselves. I don’t think they all themselves. I don’t think they outsource, but maybe they do. But like outsource, but maybe they do. But like outsource, but maybe they do. But like you know Open AI they want they’re just you know Open AI they want they’re just you know Open AI they want they’re just going to these companies that build data going to these companies that build data going to these companies that build data centers and those guys are the ones who centers and those guys are the ones who centers and those guys are the ones who are are are making the serious money right now. It’s making the serious money right now. It’s making the serious money right now. It’s very interesting even running my own very interesting even running my own very interesting even running my own server like home lab kind of server. I’m server like home lab kind of server. I’m server like home lab kind of server. I’m like feeling the pain of like ah yeah like feeling the pain of like ah yeah like feeling the pain of like ah yeah you need real stuff. You need real you need real stuff. You need real you need real stuff. You need real physical access. You can’t do things physical access. You can’t do things physical access. You can’t do things remotely. Fans and weird parts like remotely. Fans and weird parts like remotely. Fans and weird parts like [  ] break you got to like replace. [  ] break you got to like replace. [  ] break you got to like replace. Um, and that’s just for my family’s Um, and that’s just for my family’s Um, and that’s just for my family’s little server like that. So, it’s kind little server like that. So, it’s kind little server like that. So, it’s kind of funny. It’s like picked the wrong g of funny. It’s like picked the wrong g of funny. It’s like picked the wrong g wrong wrong damn career because that is wrong wrong damn career because that is wrong wrong damn career because that is booming. And uh, I don’t know. Just booming. And uh, I don’t know. Just booming. And uh, I don’t know. Just interesting. Just that brought home all interesting. Just that brought home all interesting. Just that brought home all of that. And it’s just like, yeah, that of that. And it’s just like, yeah, that of that. And it’s just like, yeah, that [  ] does fail all the time. You got to [  ] does fail all the time. You got to [  ] does fail all the time. You got to swap [  ] out. It’s a lot of work. And I swap [  ] out. It’s a lot of work. And I swap [  ] out. It’s a lot of work. And I can see why those guys can see why those guys can see why those guys have nothing but unlimited work to do. have nothing but unlimited work to do. have nothing but unlimited work to do. unlike the software engineers. That’s unlike the software engineers. That’s unlike the software engineers. That’s all I got for today. See you tomorrow.
