Ship & Charge
The developer's playbook to a paid AI micro-SaaS
// the problem
You don't have a building problem. You have a selling problem.
- You've shipped side projects nobody used.
- You spent weekends on auth, infra and a nice UI before talking to a single customer.
- You see 'AI side hustle' content everywhere, written by people who've never deployed anything to production.
Most dev side projects fail for the same reason: they're built before they're validated.
// the system

// who wrote this
J.
I'm Pierre, a Lead Data Engineer by day and a solo SaaS builder by night.
I built Profile Polish, an AI tool that rewrites LinkedIn profiles, and grew it to [X paying users] with credit-pack pricing on Stripe. I also built Magnetiq, a gamified coaching app with a multi-agent architecture, and killed it when traction wasn't there. This playbook is everything I'd tell myself before writing the first line of code: what worked, what didn't, and the numbers.
