How 90% of non-tech founders think you should build an app vs. how I tell my clients to do it.
Most founders want to build everything at once—but that’s the fastest way to fail. Instead, focus on solving real user problems, start lean, and improve with feedback.
That’s how you build a million-dollar app 🤌

🚨 AI is NOT replacing developers anytime soon! 🚨
AI is just a tool—human developers are still essential.
- A developer navigates all the moving parts.
- AI is stuck with what it was trained on.
- It can't learn and adapt to changes like humans do.

“My app 90% done, just needs a few tweaks!”
I’ve heard this line way too many times from non-tech business owners burned 🔥 by bad developers.
One app I saw?
“90% done” actually meant 90% bugs. And a $60K budget flushed down the drain 💸.
In my latest video, I share two real-life stories of clients who thought they’d scored “the deal of a lifetime” with low-cost development agencies.
Spoiler alert: It didn’t end well.
📌 One walked away with a useless app that drained $60,000.
📌 The other had to rebuild from scratch but eventually came out on top.
The hard truth:
💡 Hiring the wrong team can cost you more than just money - it can derail your entire project.
💡 A bad codebase will sabotage your growth before you even launch.
💡 Rushing to save costs? You’ll pay double in tears later.
This video is a wake-up call for anyone thinking about cutting corners on app development.

Why do 70% of app development projects fail?
It’s not the tech—it’s the overbuilding!
Business owners dive in thinking every feature is a core feature, and I get it!
I once had a client who wanted a “million-feature” MVP, and the result was a failed launch and an unpaid $20K invoice I’ll never see. 💸
In my latest video, I’m breaking down the four steps to avoid this trap and stay focused on what truly matters.
✔️ Creating a clear user persona that leads every decision
✔️ Shortlisting features to solve your users’ key pain points
✔️ Defining your app’s unique value proposition so it doesn’t become “just another app”
Get these insights to build smarter, faster, and on budget.

No-code is a trap 🚨
As a developer who’s spent years building products, I’ve heard it all:
“No-code platforms can only get you so far.”
But is that really true?
No-code tools are supposed to be limiting - they're not built for people who can code, they're built for people who can't.
And that, my friends, is their beauty ✨
In my latest video, I break down the argument against no-code platforms like Flutterflow and Bubble. A fellow coder says no-code might trap you – but I disagree.
Here’s why:
✅ Why no-code might just be the right fit for your MVP 💡
✅ The hidden truth behind code exports 🚨
✅ How to avoid the real traps – and when custom code becomes essential 🔧
Curious?
Check out my video and see if no-code's really the trap as this fellow coder says it is.
