On building products, AI automation, and going from 0 to 1 in weeks.
What AI and Zapier/Make/n8n maintenance actually costs: tool fees, tokens, retainers vs hourly, a contract checklist, and a worked total cost of ownership.
The freelancer who built your Zapier, Make or n8n automations left? Here's how to regain ownership, find silent failures, fix what's broken and set alerts.
Zapier vs Make vs n8n in 2026 from people who maintain them: real costs at 3 volumes, AI agent risks, and a step-by-step plan to migrate (or not).
The default 2026 stack we ship most products on (Next.js, Postgres, Stripe, Clerk) and the rules for when to deviate.
The migration order we use to take a Lovable, Bolt, or v0 prototype to a product you can charge for, without a big-bang rewrite.
A founder-level comparison of Lovable, Bolt, and v0 in 2026: what each is good at, where each dies, and who to call when you hit the ceiling.
What multi-tenancy actually means, when you need it, and the Postgres, auth, and billing decisions that stop you from rewriting at 500 customers.
Real 2026 MVP cost ranges by scope: vibe-code rescue, focused SaaS, and AI-native products. Fixed price vs hourly, and what you should never pay for twice.
The founder-led sequence we used and still run with clients: outreach, communities, one content engine, and the two metrics that decide when paid is allowed.
