This is what going solo at 40 feels like.
I’m Aaron. 20+ years in tech. Ran a marketing agency for 8 years. Built apps and websites as a freelancer along with almost all of our agency systems.
In August, my business partner left our SaaS startup.
Now it’s just me, rebuilding on X while traveling across South and Central America.
What I’ll share:
→ build lean with AI
→ run AI on your own hardware
→ live and work from anywhere
What are you building, or trying to get built?
Lets connect and grow together!

A secret Grok link is not a lock.
This report says 35,000+ apps were left open because the only protection was a web address nobody was supposed to guess.
If your app has a page "nobody will find", put a login on it today.
‼️BREAKING: Grok Build has left 35,000+ of its users' apps open to anyone, including apps from SpaceXSI.
The open apps held 3,784 medical exams of workers and a Tesla technician scorecard, plus a Navy contractor's roster and SpaceXSI's own sales plans.
The "secret" words in each app's link sit in its web address, which DNS logs record, security firm Claroc found.
Cursor, which SpaceXSI bought, says apps are private by default. Claroc's tests show otherwise.
SpaceXSI pulled its 24 apps after Ars asked. Most other data was still exposed when Ars published.

You don’t need the cloud for confidential work.
I run DeepSeek v4.1 Flash on 2 DGX Sparks. 30-50 tok/sec, multiple streams at once, free inference.
Anything confidential or not ready to be public stays on my own hardware.
What’s one thing you’d never paste into a cloud AI?

Why not just share it here like a build in public? Then you could get feedback along the way.
Congrats on the 185, keep going bro.

Most people only dream about sending this email.
I sent it after 14 years in corporate.
I’d already given my two weeks. A few days later, I walked out the door past managers and friends.
Steady pay. From the outside, the perfect setup.
But around 4pm one Monday, it hit me. I wasn’t tired. I was watching my own ideas die, one meeting at a time.
So I jumped. And joked I might end up foraging for food.
I was only half joking. I’d be living off savings. And the money scared me less than what people would think.
But a paycheck can disappear. What you learn doesn’t.
That’s what I took with me. It became 8 years running an agency, 20+ apps built, and now a solo business I run mostly from Latin America.
And the “$100/hr ;) jk” at the bottom?
Wasn’t a joke for long.
What would you walk away from if nobody was watching?
