Welcome to Solo Dev Saturday🧱

Building thriving independent dev businesses together.

Hey there solo dev!

Welcome to Solo Dev Saturday 🧱.

In this newsletter, I help developers build thriving independent businesses, revealing strategies to improve code maintainability by 40%, ship products twice as fast, and build toward $10K months through community-supported growth.

I share my journey with complete transparency on both technical decisions and business growth, and I build tools and create resources to help you succeed on your own path.

The newsletter is structured around three essential pillars:

Maintainable Code 🏗️

Here I share deep technical insights from my enterprise experience, showing how to:

• Build scalable systems as a solo developer

• Apply enterprise best practices without the overhead

• Make technical decisions that support long-term growth

• Keep code quality high while moving fast

Profitable Solo Dev 🌱

I document my journey building profitable software solo, including:

• Real revenue numbers and business metrics

• Customer development and sales processes

• Market validation techniques

• Monthly retrospectives and lessons learned

Community Connection 🤝

We learn from each other's experiences through:

• Shared challenges and solutions from fellow solo developers
