    I'm Losing Contracts to AI. Here's Why That's Actually Good Newsde

    I'm losing software contracts right now, and I want to tell you why. Business owners who would've paid me $10,000 to build them something are telling me they'll just build it themselves with AI. That sounds like bad news for a guy who makes his living writing software, but in this episode I get into why I actually think it's a gift, and what it's telling me about where the real opportunity is heading. I break down the pricing models I think are dead and the ones I think are about to take off. I talk about why selling software to businesses for $500 a month is a much harder game than it used to be, and why selling to regular people for $5 a month might be where the real money is hiding over the next five years. I also get into why paid advertising falls apart at those low price points, and what you have to do instead. I share the actual marketing plan I'm using for the app I'm building right now (it starts with my neighborhood group chat), why I think your wife or your neighbor is probably a better customer than a business owner, and the one metric you should be watching instead of listening to what your friends say about your product. If you've been sitting on a software idea and wondering whether it's worth building, this one's for you. Topics covered: Why business owners are canceling software subscriptions and building their own with AI The pricing model I think is dead, and the two replacing it Why selling software to businesses is suddenly a much harder game The consumer market opportunity that was a bad bet for years and is suddenly wide open Why paid advertising falls apart at $5 a month price points How virality can replace advertising when your product actually solves a real problem The baby sleep app thought experiment that explains consumer virality My actual marketing plan for the app I'm building (hint: it starts at school pickup) Why you should never trust your friends' compliments about your product The one metric that matters more than anything anyone says out loud   Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:25 Why I'm losing contracts to AI 05:16 How to compete on extreme automation 07:17 Charging by outcome instead of per-seat 14:29 The case for consumer software over business software 27:40 Why paid ads won't save a $5-a-month product 32:18 Virality: how the right product markets itself 38:40 My actual marketing plan (starting with my neighborhood) 46:37 Build apps you actually use yourself 49:27 Don't trust compliments, watch the usage data Questions or thoughts?

    What Happened to the Bootcamp, Why AI Changed Everything, and What's Next

    It's been over a year since my last episode, and I owe you an update. In this episode, I get real about what happened with the Coders Campus coding bootcamp — why we had to shut down new admissions, and what led to that decision. But it's not all bad news. I also share what I've been doing since then: going all-in on AI-powered software development, landing the highest-paying contract of my entire career, and building 15+ applications in about 12 months — including a platform that generated nearly half a million dollars in revenue. I break down exactly how I'm building software today using Claude Code and Codex, why your opinion about AI-generated code might be wrong if you haven't used these tools, and why I believe the role of a software developer has fundamentally changed. Topics covered: Why the Coders Campus bootcamp shut down How AI transformed my development workflow The WinningAds platform: one developer, half a million in sales, 99.99% uptime Claude Code vs ChatGPT: why they're not the same thing Why software developers are now project managers, product owners, and QA engineers The apps I've built: TimeTrackr, CaptureOS, a family management app, a fitness tracker, and more What's next for the Coders Campus brand Why learning AI is the safest career bet right now Questions or thoughts?
