    A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

    EXECUTION 
    September update: I've hit my first $15k in invoices/month (profit margin ~ 85%) Granted, it's all consulting/active income, but by god, it feels surreal

    Nope, unrelated to software development, this is just a business consulting project

    A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

    EXECUTION 
    August update: Got a 3rd contract, which I am mostly outsourcing, but I also really enjoy working on it, so I will put the finishing touches after my contractor is done. The clients are very happy with the relationship so far, and even though they were planning to hire someone full-time before...

    How to avoid taxes?

    IDEA 
    Option 1 - Stay in Norway and operate through a US LLC in a high-privacy state without remitting income to Norway. Highly illegal, and I don't condone it, but Europeans do it often Option 2 - Move to Paraguay and pay 0% taxes through US LLC. Not sure how easy it is to break ties with Norway by...

    How to avoid taxes?

    IDEA 
    Paying 0 taxes is not possible for most people but it is possible to reduce the tax burden significantly, and I have looked into that extensively this year. Without knowing where you are a tax resident, and where your company is located, nobody can answer that

    AI for everything, but I know what I am doing, so I am mindful of not letting it introduce security risks. I'ts just much faster than writing code myself.

    EXECUTION 
    Is it? Well, thank you for saying that, it certainly doesn't feel that way. MVP is always a Node.js vibe-coded app, freelancing varies a lot because it's not just software, in fact, software for freelancing is a minority of my projects.

    A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

    EXECUTION 
    July update: Achieved my goal of acquiring one more client so that I am not as reliant on initial client list. The work is pretty boring but it pays very well so will keep it c. 3 days a week as a cornerstone project Will end things with my current cornerstone client who lately has become...

    The AI Agents Thread: If You're Not Using It NOW, Does It Mean You're Behind?

    GOLD! - AI - 
    I am creating one for my SaaS website, which basically scrapes, categorizes, and double-checks database inputs, but I am not sure if it qualifies as an agent or if it's just fancy AI automation. Based on all the LinkedIn n8n automation posts that I see which "can replace an entire team of X" ...

    A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

    EXECUTION 
    June update: Freelancing remains very good, in July I will most likely sign a completely new contract and expand my client list The Saas product remains unmarketed but I have assigned an email scraping job to at least get an email campaign going. I will actively look for a partner to promote...

    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    - AI - 
    At this point, the pace of progress is just too rapid and I don't like it. I have been working with AI automation through the API for the past year or so and I still haven't had time to master things like MCP or agents. I wouldn't mind some slowing down which hopefully will come soon when the...

    An AI-based web browser, which I can't say I have tried because for now, it's Mac only. But just reading the description makes me think that some scraping/web extracting scripts I have written in the past are now obsolete. https://www.genspark.ai/browser

    Cool new website that lets you describe a task and searches whether there is an agent available that can do it: Fetch AI: Connecting AI, Web3, and the Future.

    A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

    EXECUTION 
    May update: Moved to a new country to become tax resident and wasted a lot of time on logistical and bureaucratic bullshit. The Saas app MVP is ready, finding time to promote it is a big struggle right now Income is flowing from freelancing, with another potential project coming my way, plus...
