Three builders. One destination: shipping.
Maya Torres, 27
Non-technical founder

Ryan Chen, 31
Developer going indie
Full-stack developer with 7 years experience. Can build anything but struggles to ship and sell. Learns to compress development time 60% and deploy two micro-SaaS products in a single weekend.
Sandra Osei, 48
Business owner
Runs a 12-person marketing agency. Implements automation workflows that save 22 hours per week and launches a new AI-Augmented service tier commanding 40% premium rates.
8 chapters. Every one ends with something shipped.
The New Landscape
How AI changed the rules of software. LLM tiers, local vs cloud, the honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do, and the career data you need to position correctly.
The Builder Mindset
From consumer to maker. The four-question framework for choosing what to build, the 90-day shipping discipline, and why specific audiences beat generic markets every time.
Your Core Stack
Cursor, Lovable, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, n8n, Ollama — the minimum viable toolkit explained with honest lock-in assessments and total cost breakdowns.
Local AI
Running powerful models on your own machine. Ollama setup, model selection guide, RAG architecture, and when NOT to use local AI — with real code examples.
Vibe Coding
From idea to app without a traditional team. A complete Lovable workflow, the security warning nobody puts in the marketing, and what vibe coding can and cannot build.
Automation & Workflows
n8n, Make, and Zapier — how to build workflows that save 20+ hours per week. Agent nodes, webhook triggers, and the automation stack that scales without headcount.
Shipping & Revenue
Stripe integration, pricing psychology, launch strategy, and the realistic revenue distribution across 1,000+ bootstrapped products so you build with calibrated expectations.
Going Indie
The micro-SaaS path from employed to founder. How to validate, launch two products in parallel, and use AI to compress your development time by 60%.
Everything you need to go from zero to shipped.

Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Chapter 5 on Vibe Coding was written specifically for non-technical builders. Maya Torres's case study walks through building a working SaaS app without writing a single line of traditional code.
Is the content up to date for 2026?
Yes. The book covers tools as they exist in mid-2026, including Qwen 2.5, DeepSeek-R1, Lovable, Claude Code, and the current Ollama ecosystem. A note at the start reminds you to always verify current pricing and versions of any tool before deploying to production.
