Hello World!

Going from zero to product and sharing the lessons learned along the way on my journey to 20K MRR 🤞

Every developer’s journey starts with those two little words: Hello World.
They’re not just a test print on the console, they’re a promise. A hint that something bigger is about to happen.

For me, Hello World isn’t just about code anymore. It’s about starting from nothing, from zero, and building something real enough to stand on its own. A product. A business.

I’m not there yet. But I’m on the road. And this little post is the first breadcrumb on the trail.

Starting from zero feels terrifying. It’s like staring at a blank page or a fresh repo. No customers. No revenue. Just ideas scribbled on napkins and a head full of what ifs.

But zero is also clean. No legacy code, no angry customers, no messy spreadsheets. Just potential energy waiting for a spark.

The hardest part of building isn’t the tech, it’s the leap of faith.

So, if Hello World is the first line, then this is chapter one. The goal is building something real, learning out loud, and enjoying the ride.

So here I am, about to jump.

Let’s go!

Come say hello!
