Are you solving a task or a problem?

You will be perpetually replaced if you are solving tasks, that is the TL;DR

There’s nothing noble about checking boxes or finishing tickets. Businesses survive because they solve real problems for real people, and money is just the side-effect of doing that well.

Most developers never make it past “tell me what to build.” They don’t listen properly, they don’t ask the right questions, and they’re terrified of proposing tradeoffs because it exposes their thinking.

Real builders break the problem down, understand the business pain, and can explain three different ways to solve it with pros, cons, and consequences. That alone puts you ahead of 90% of the industry.

And yes, problem solving involves failing. A lot. Building systems that perform under a million concurrent users forces you to fail repeatedly until you actually understand what you’re doing. Cursor, v0, AI coding agents: none of these will save the people who can only follow instructions. They just accelerate the people who already know how to think.

This is why I’m building a small group of actual builders. Not task-runners. Not code-jockeys. -> People who get it. I’ve already built an agency with 7 strong engineers that brings in healthy cashflow, and now I’m opening up a private group where high-quality builders get whitelisted after a short 15-minute interview. If you’re in, you’ll get opportunities for fully paid projects, access to founders who know what they’re doing, and a community that actually raises your bar instead of dragging it down.

The interview and getting in is free. I’m not charging anyone. I just want to filter for people who think in solutions, not tasks.

The only thing you have to do is every week share 3 high quality articles within our slack channel, if you miss it out bot will kick you out.

Talking soon.
